Worth it!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are easily some of the best headphones I’ve used. The sound quality is excellent, with deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs that make music, videos, and calls sound amazing. Everything feels balanced and premium. The noise canceling is the standout feature. It blocks out background noise extremely well, whether I’m in public, studying, or just trying to focus. It genuinely makes a difference and creates a quiet, immersive experience. Comfort is another big plus. The ear cups are soft, lightweight, and comfortable enough to wear for long periods—even with glasses. Battery life is also impressive, lasting well over a full day on a single charge. Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM4s are absolutely worth it for their sound quality, comfort, and industry-leading noise cancelation.

these exceeded expectations!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are great!! I should of bought them at first. I started with the Sony Ulta, but the noise cancellation and over all sound quality sounded off. I returned them fo4 the Beats Studio Pro to see if they lived up to the hype seeing several people wearing them at the gym, they were trash. The Beats sounded flat, no EQ on the android app. So i decided to spend the extra money on the Sony 4s, and i havent regretted it. I listen to all different types of Reggae, Hip Hop, R&B and these sound great compared to the rest. I almost got the JBL headphones in the same price range. But the noose cancellation is definitely a game changer. FYI most the over ear headphones are not sweat resistant. I went on Amazon and got the sweat resistant ear covers for $15, because i primarily use the headphones at the gym and i sweat alot.

Sony over the ear
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed something to replace AirPods that went over the ear. Great sound and paired with app makes for a better experience. Fit great and comfortable over the ear, have to get used to the noise cancellation but have worn for hours with no issues. Easy controls and cover to mute function is great

Best for Noise Cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have noise cancelling like no other. Highly recommend if you get easily over stimulated. I use these where-ever I go and it has a nice battery life. I also like how you can customize your sound. You can adjust the bass, treble, and all in between. I’m no audiophile but to my average person ears they’re amazing. It is pricey but a good investment. I see myself using these for years to come.

They're not good enough.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After using these headphones along with Beats Studio, Wh- 910n, these headphones are overhyped, overpriced, but over performed. I like the comfort which over did the Beats Studio. They're aesthetically pleasing like Beats. The noise cancelling over performed. Compared to the Cases for each of the headphones, the XM-4s have a cuter and more protective case. The only problems that I have had with the XM-4s is that they're hard to connect to any of my Apple devices, and they randomly disconnect and turn off out of nowhere which is neither rare or common. But compared to the expensive Air Pods Pro Max from Apple, these have way better sound quality and more minimalistic with swipe on the right side of the Headphones, you can access ambient sound, pause, play, and play your next song. Compared to the wh- 910n, it is hard to turn on Siri by just touching the pad of your right cup which the wh-910, It is more worth getting the WH- 910 which are 100 dollars less but sacrifice the aesthetic for the better quality, and better base.

Better than Beats. Perfect for multitasking.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect for work. I can have these synced to my laptop while I work but switch over to take a call on my cell with just a double tap on the ear. Comfortable enough and long battery to wear all day. Noise cancellation is great. I even took a nap with them on and it was complete silence lol (I live in NYC by a hospital) Better than Beats by far I think. Programmable features on the app as well is great to customize function. Speak to chat feature is cool too. The AUX port option is great for watching inflight movies during flights because we all know the ones they give out are terrible.

Can’t go wrong with these!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was either these Sony or the Bose 700s. I took forever to decide and I looked at a bunch of reviews, and in the end I chose the Sonys. I was leaning towards the Bose and almost got them... My good friend chose the Bose that same day and honestly, it is a matter of preference because they are both great! I chose these because of the little features, like how you can put your right hand over the right earphone, and it pauses and turns off the noise cancelling so that you can hear around you. That feature has come in handy so many times. The noise cancelling is great. Although I like the Bose design and look, these look good too. Just by looking at these headphones, you can tell that you don’t accidentally buy these! I highly recommend.

Great headphones! Just one problem..
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are of superior build quality. There is an issue that arises with extended use, or more specifically, extended use with too much pressure on the earcups. Earwax manages to penetrate all the way to the active noise cancellation chip, leading to an incredibly loud, annoying, and seemingly never-ending high pitched ring. The problem can be solved by taking apart the headset but it’s inconvenient. Apart from that, the ANC and audio quality are everything you could expect at this price point.

Posted .Hi Tony,
Thanks for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review of your WH-1000XM4 headphones. We're very happy to hear that you appreciate the superior build quality, audio performance, and noise cancellation.
We are sorry to hear about the specific issue you've experienced with the high-pitched ringing.

We do not recommend that customers take apart their headphones, as this can cause further damage and may void the warranty.

Awesome Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are great, by far the best wireless headphones that can deliver the greatest noise cancelling, while also delivering a good sound experience. The headphones themselves and its inner system is solid, and its sound quality is great. Its also been a bit since i've got them and theres no signs of wear and tear or battery deterioration yet. The only nitpick to make is its accompanying app for your phone, and while it can give you more customization for the headphones, the app is buggy and currently isn't letting me update the headphones software. Regardless, the headphones and its bluetooth, noise canceling, and wired mode are all top notch.

The best of the best
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the XM4's after owning the XM3's for over a year. I was a bit nervous at first after hearing a few comments on a difference in sound signature on the XM4's but have yet to notice any significant change. While the rock solid sound quality remains very similar to the XM3's there is a noticeable improvement in ANC on the XM4's. I have used almost every high end wireless ANC headphone on the market and every time go back to this pair. It's the perfect combination of comfort, quality, and performance at a reasonable price!

Best headset ever!
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony headset is so comfortable to wear. After 16 hrs on a plane, my ears don’t ache because of the supreme padding. I bought Bose, which are supposed to be the best, don’t waste your money on the Bose. The Sony really is noise cancellation! Even screaming babies & loud crying kids on a plane were silenced. I will buy another Sony headset.
