Posted .Hi TerriC,
We appreciate your balanced feedback on the WH-1000XM4 headphones, highlighting their excellent comfort, lightweight design, and effective noise cancellation. We understand that bass preference is subjective; for enhanced low-end delivery, you may want to try adjusting the Equalizer settings within the Sony | Headphones Connect app to boost the bass frequencies to your liking. We are glad you find them to be a good value overall!
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Incredible Sound and Battery Life
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is crisp, clear, and perfectly balanced. The bass has a pleasant, deep thump without being overpowering or muddy, and the vocals come through crystal clear. Whether I'm listening to podcasts, rock, or classical music, everything sounds rich and enjoyable.

A balance of sound quality and noise cancelation.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the past couple of years I have been researching noise canceling headphones. With the the Black Friday deals, I decided to go ahead and buy a pair. From my reasearch I found the Sony WH-1000MX4's would best fit my needs. After about a months worth of use, I can say these headphones did not dissapoint. These headphones have excellent sound quality and great bass. The Sony headphones app makes it easy to tune the sound the way you prefer, instead of being stuck with presets. The noise canceling is good, but not perfect. When working in the office you can still faintly hear voices in the background. The voices do seem to go away when music or audio audio books are played. It is also nice the app does allow you to tune the noise canceling to fit the environment. If you just want to tone down the outside noise, you can just move the ANC slider to a setting of your liking. Last, these headphones fit great. I have a larger head which can be problematic with some headphones. With the WH-1000MX4's adjustability, they fit comfortably on my head, without too much pressure. I would recommend the WH-1000MX4's to anyone looking for a Noise Canceling headphone with excellent sound quality.

BEST HEADPHONES I’VE EVER HAD
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headphone is so comfy & I actually like it better than the XM5. The sound levels are good doesn’t make you too deaf & I love how you can put your hands over one side to hear what others are saying. It charges fast and battery life lasts pretty long. Used mines for 2 weeks now from time to time and I haven’t even charged it yet.

Absolutely Incredible
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am by no means an audiophile, but I have tried a large variety of audio playing devices and these Sony headphones are absolutely mind-blowing. I feel like up until this point, I have not heard music before. The sound quality on these headphones are beyond anything I have come across that just leaves you speechless. Also, the noise cancelling far exceeds any of the noise cancelling headphones/earbuds on the market, including the Bose 700s. I can confidently say that these are the best noise cancelling headphones under that 500 dollar range. Battery life is superior and truly does last over 24 hours (30 as described is a bit of a stretch here if you are using noise cancelling), but if you just plug these in for 10 minutes you can get like 2 hours of additional battery life. It is crazy. Microphone quality is excellent. I have used these for video conferencing and have been complemented on how clear my voice is. Background noise does appear to be controlled to a certain extent as well so people can hear you and only you. These are very comfortable and secure on my head. Additional app features help foster a great listening environment. Overall, these definitely outclass any headphones/earphones I have ever come across. However, its only downfall is I do think if a drop of water gets in these, you can say goodbye to these headphones! But these headphones are definitely worth the buy.

Sometimes the Previous Model is Better
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This model feels more comfortable than the New Model. They are also more comfortable than the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultras or the Q45’s in my opinion. The Sound is Solid “ compared “ to the aforementioned Headphones especially for the price of $225.00 I paid. Honestly I would not recommend paying $350 for these headphones or any of the other contenders. The sound does not blow me away for Sony or Bose . I will say that the Bose headphones are Overrated which is typical for Bose products in my opinion. In conclusion, most Electronics are overpriced and overrated, However if you can find the Wx004’s on sale for $225 or less, I think you should be satisfied.

Sony XM4
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to grab these after my Beats Studio 3s broke after falling from 2 feet. The sound quality in these is levels better and the sound connect app just makes the experience so much more personalized. Build quality is nice for the price point and isn’t a bunch of plastic everywhere. Great sized case and comes with 3.5mm jack, EU connector, and charging cable. Only thing is the charging cable is really short but you can just buy and aftermarket. Battery life is excellent and it connects to my iPhone, Mac, and TV seamlessly

Wireless BOOM!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As one not normally discount the quality of Bluetooth over wired headsets, I have to say that these pack a major punch! Bass is incredible, the highs and mids are phenonimal. 28-30hr battery make them great fro travel. Using noise cancelling on my last flight - I couldnt hear a thing aside from my music - and no one could hear what I was playing. The app is nice and has an equalizer. One perk is an option to turn on voice assist, which can turn off noise cancelling if you get a call/start talking. 10/0 would reccomend!

Sony WH10000XM4 headset
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing set of headphones for the price. The sound quality is really good, and the noice cancelling is second to none. It's very comfortable to wear especially for long hours, and does not hurt your ears like other headphones after a while. The Sony app is also pretty good with plenty of features that you can adjust on your headset. Battery lasts a very long time and getting close to 28-35 hours of battery life and it charges fairly fast too. Also the headset connects really easy to your device unlike other headsets which can get finicky trying to connect to it via bluetooth. The case that it comes with is very nice, sleek, and minimalistic.

Wayyy better than Apples Airpods Maxs!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have tried out Apples Maxs and even though i am an Apple user through and through, these headphones are much lighter and the sound quality is more crisp and clearer! The Airpod Maxs though are better when it comes to noise cancellation. Just by a little. I don’t mind though since the Sonys makes up for that in every other way possible. I have worn these headphones over 6 hours straight for work and it did not once give me a headache or feel one bit uncomfortable. The best part about these is the amazing battery life. I have yet to charge them again since after the first charge. Its been like 2 weeks of daily usage and im at 40%! Thats wild!

Sony - WH1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were a gift from my spouse, and they are amazing. They cancel out any noise. When I am busy cleaning, I play music and when I speak the music automatically stops and the noise cancelling changes. I just need to tap on the right side of the headphones for the music to start again or wait until the outside noise stops and it will start again on its own. This is a great feature because my hands may be covered in cleaning materials, and I do not wish to touch my headphones but want my music to continue playing when I am done talking. The battery seems like it last forever and the headphones are very comfortable.

Sony XM 4 Excellent Headphones.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing headphones with really nice audio quality as well as noise cancelation. Also the fact that you can fold it and put in a case to cary easily is so much better compare to xm5 or 6. Something for this price range is really good. You can always go for jabra or some senheiser but if you are looking for good audio and good noise cancelation, this is the best you can get for this price range which is wireless. The battery life is also pretty good. And with fast charging I get a decent battery just for charging 1 hour.

Get lost in your own home!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a medical student who was studying for the most important board exams of my life, I had to move back to New York for my rotations. That meant noise from vehicles, and since I lived under a family, brothers sharing their love for each other with their fists - as all brothers do. Now, I did not want to be rude and constantly ask for them to keep their children quiet, so I tried these headphones out to block out the noise. The only thing that could annoy me was my own heartbeat now. These headphones: 1. Are comfortable so I can wear them forever. 2. Charge very quickly for 30 hours of uptime! Even a quick 10 min charge lasted me the night if I forgot to charge them in advance. 3. So versatile, since the Sony app allows you to keep the firmware up to date, and unlocks more features to customize gestures of your headphones, your equalizer, and how much noise cancelling you need. The con? Taking a call isn't so bad, but it's definitely NOT the best quality, which is fine because I played with both the Bose 700 and these headphones and let me tell you that the musician in me was so happy with the beautiful and crisp sounds of the mid-range frequencies that are often discarded for your hearing pleasure. These headphones are definitely worth the buy, you will NOT be disappointed.

All I know is, they are comfortable for me, wearing them for most of two 15 hour flights, and the depth and clarity of sound is wonderful. Great around the house too. For the trips, the battery lasted my guess about 20-25 hours. Disconnected a few times with head movement.
