Sync with me Sony
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love how this fits on my ears, it's comfortable and sounds good. The problem is when I have it connected to my tv, the audio and connectivity will have a delay sometimes and I have to either turn the headphones off or go through the sounds menu back to the headphones again to have it in sync again. Hopefully this is just a blip.

Posted .Hi Deevs, Thank you for the awesome review! Good to know you love the comfortable fit and great sound quality of your new headphones. The audio playback on this unit may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games.

The best headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality of these headphones are very breathtaking. You can hear the bass flow through your heart with every beat. Another thing, the noise cancellation is very outstanding. You can't hear absolutely anything with these headphones which is very amazing if you're in a public space. Overall very amazing on every aspect. They won't let you down.

WH-1000XM4 Review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Impeccable quality. I was hearing musical textures in songs I've listened to for years for the first time. The only negative thing I have to say about it is how sensitive the touch pad is. I'm always accidently hanging up.

Posted .Hi User144668,
We feel privileged to know that our headphones have allowed you to rediscover your favorite songs by revealing musical textures you hadn't noticed before. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the sensitivity of the touch sensor; if you find it a bit too reactive for your style, you can actually disable the "Touch Sensor Control Panel" within the Sony Headphones Connect app to prevent those accidental hang-ups.
Thank you for trusting Sony and making us a part of your daily listening.

Dominick
Overall good
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall amazing headphones, love the audio quality as a person who has bought a lot of main stream over the ear headphones. I’d say these aren’t for heavy gym users. The band is pretty will and it’ll fall when laying down in my experience

Posted .Hi Marco,
We appreciate your positive remarks on the WH-1000XM4 Headphones' outstanding audio quality, and it's great to hear they stand out among mainstream options. We understand your concerns regarding stability during heavy movement, like at the gym or when lying down, as these headphones are optimized more for premium listening and travel comfort rather than intense physical activity. For a more secure fit during exercise, you might consider our sport-focused models, which are specifically designed to handle greater movement and sweat resistance.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Best noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from the WH1000XM2. Headphone is much lighter and more comfy than the XM2. Sound quality is almost the same, but noise cancelling is definitely better. Can't wait to fly again in a plane to really test these out.

Perfect for work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife absolutely loves these, and they're helping her concentrate at work! She charges them about once a week and they last her. She even brought them on vacation to distract herself during my driving shifts. Love love LOVE the color. In fact I accidentally ordered the black and had to return them and get the blue.

So good I bought three
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these as a gift for my girlfriend and they were so good I bought a pair for myself and my dad. These headphones are incredible for the price especially when compared to the newer model. The app that comes with them make them so much better. I used AirPod pros for most of my traveling but the noise canceling on these are so much better and much more comfortable for longer trips.

Good upgrade!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphone, upgraded from the XM2s. While it isn't a huge gain, I had a gift card so I used it to upgrade and it was worth it. These fit a lot nicer and sound a little better, and I think the ANC is better.

Good but bit pricey!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent product! Still learning all these headphones can do! My recent flight to LA was a good test for this product and it did well! The noise canceling, ambient noise features and fasforward/rewind/pause features worked very good, love the mid night blue color! The wireless and bluetooth capabilities were good, paired fairly quick with my phone, TV, AV receiver and laptop. Not sure if it's needed or not but the app for these headphones helped me out, so I'd suggest downloading and using the app for these headphonesl!! Too early yet to give 5 stars, so far so good! I need to see how durable this product will be over time before giving 5 stars! Bit pricey though but thanks for BB gift card, previous BB credit on acct and Christmas gift card from coworker, I was able to afford these headphones, don't think I would have purchased them had that not been the case! So far however, this product is good and I would recommend them if you can afford them but if not, try and wait til they go on sale!!

Almost perfect
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These may be the perfect headphones for you, they are almost perfect for me. I am coming from a wired pair of sennheiser headphones that cost over 4 times the price of these, and surprisingly these headphones exceeded my expectations in both sound quality and build quality. Here’s My small list of things I think you should consider 1.) The fit. I’d recommend trying them on In store before purchasing, for me the ear cups are a little to shallow to wear for longer than an hour comfortably. 2.) the bass, I might be nitpicking but in my opinion this bass just sounds too muddy, regardless of how I change it in the app. Don’t mistake what I consider “shortcomings” as a detractor, they are highly rated for a reason and overall I was impressed, and I believe most people wouldn’t notice the annoyances I did, and will be satisfied with the positive things like the amazing noise canceling, ambient sound that can be triggered by placing a hand on a ear cup, connecting to 2 devices, the option for auxiliary (încluded) , and I got 20hrs with noise cancellation on a charge and actually 32hrs without noise canceling.

Fantastic! Even better than XM5!
|Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones! They are a lifesaver on flights, the noise cancelling is some of the best on the market, as is the audio quality. The foldability is another benefit, and they are comfortable to wear over long periods of time. I would even say the foldability and wearing comfort make it better than the XM5 model.

These are the good ones.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lightweight, well documented controls, fantastic noise cancelling and battery life good enough that you can forget to charge it for days. Fantastically packed with features that make it a daily driver for the home office. Even though it has the drawbacks of bluetooth when it comes to sound quality, I barely notice with this headset. Only thing I could pick at is that the inbuilt microphone could be a little better, which might make the ambient sound function more bearable.

Screw Amazon go to Best Buy.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easily the best option out there. Price point seems high. Overall worth the cost though. Listed for $349 I waited and thought about the purchase. They went on sale to $278. Glad I waited but after buying them. I would still pay $349. I initially tried them on at the store 2 months before purchase. The noise cancelling alone is worth it. If you're hesitant don't worry about it. Best buy has an amazing return policy. I've listened to these things for days without charging. They hold a charge in my experience longer than advertised. Charge time is super quick as well. Comes with a great carry case as well. Pro tips watch the how to videos to learn how to use them properly.
