Best Noise Cancelling Headphones I’ve ever had
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best Noise Cancelling Headphones I had. Sound quality is another area where the XM4 excels. With powerful and dynamic audio performance, these headphones deliver a rich and detailed sound signature. The bass is deep and punchy, while the mids and highs are well-balanced, providing a satisfying listening experience across various music genres.

Best over ear headphones I’ve tried
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely my fave over ear headphones. It’s so comfortable to use for long periods of time. The sound quality is amazing. The controls are 50/50, the volume is controlled my sliding your finger up or down and waiting to see if you did it correctly, which I don’t like. But there are actual buttons to turn it on or off as well as to toggle between ambient sound off and on or noise cancellation on. It also connects to 2 devices at the same time allowing you to switch between devices without reconnecting Bluetooth each time. One thing I found annoying is if you accidentally brush your arm or whatever against the volume side earmuff, you’ll trigger its action by lowering or raising its volume. Also the noise cancellation is just ok, it could be better but it’s still really good.

AMAZING
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was debating between these headphone and the Apple AirPod Max, I am so happy I chose these. They are so easy to use, lightweight, and have amazing quality. The only downside to these is that they take a little more time to switch between devices. I need to reconnect them to my laptop or iPad, it’s not too big of a deal! Overall, I don’t regret getting them at all!

XM4 better than the XM5
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, Great feel. XM4 , in my opinion, better product than the XM5 and i see no noticeable sound difference for the non audiophile , Bought on sale so way cheaper than comparable competitor and worth waiting for them to be on sale.

Overall excellent except for battery remaining %
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing sound quality. Very comfortable. Fantastic noise cancelling. Great colour. My only issue is the battery is finicky when it comes to charging. I ONLY use these headphones for flights so after some odd battery remaining figures, I just charge before flying (regardless of what the battery indicator says) and all is usually okay. I am taking away 1 star for the 2moverseas flights in which my headphones died 1 hour in due to me thinking there was 90% battery left.

XM4 review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent investment, it lasts long, has amazing sound quality, and is simply comfortable to wear, but they do start weighing on you after you have worn them for a while, like for 3-4 hours straight.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite being out for a number of years now they still sound amazing. I was debating between the XM5s and these and these were more comfortable and felt slimmer. I have really enjoyed these anywhere I go including the plane where it blocks out all sound except announcements. Overall I highly recommend

Headphone review

Posted .Hi JustinR,
That’s great to hear you are enjoying the amazing clarity and noise reduction of the WH-1000XM4 headphones! If you find the bass slightly lacking, you can easily customize the audio profile in the Sony | Headphones Connect app. Go to the Sound tab and use the Equalizer settings; you can either select the "Bass Boost" preset or, for the best results, use the custom EQ and increase the horizontal Clear Bass slider, which is specifically designed to add low-end punch without distorting the overall sound.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Best wireless noise canceling headphones out there
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best wireless, noise cancelling headphones out there! I have the new Bose noise canceling headphones and the new AirPod Pros as well. I would rank these Sony headphones slightly above the Bose and the Apple AirPod Pros last. The Sony’s switch back and forth between your devices flawlessly and no other headset does that effectively. Sound wise, they’re just as good as the other 2 and have the best bass. You can’t go wrong with these!

Love it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable and I cannot hear my family with the noise canceling feature even when the volume isn't that high up. The battery life is excellent as well. When the headphones die, it takes around 5-10 minutes for it to charge all the way up and it lasts a long time.

Beyond Impressive
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Started enjoying right out of the box. Have owned Bose noise cancelling, JLab in ear, Apple wired and in-ear wireless. When it comes to hearing all the nuances of just music, these are hands down my fave. So many options that it takes a little time to learn all it will do. Gotta tackle dealing with "Alexa" smart home devices next. My first time with a Sony product and looking forward to many more. Long life between charges - a huge plus. Don't buy anything until you try these. Highly recommend them.
