Luxury headphone
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphone i got in years. The sound is awesome, the low, the mid and the highs. You hear the bass too. Best part.. clarity. Also, it silenced all the unnecessary sounds around you so you can listen to what you want to listen in luxury.

Yeah...Oh yeah...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First pair of cans since 1972. Those were great wired headphones from Koss. Well, these are very different to say the least. And they are excellent. I'm no audiophile, no question. But love my jams regardless. Light, comfortable, easy to use. Sound is rich, full and clean. The Active Noise Cancellation comes in handy when daughters, granddaughters and dogs come over. I'm keeping them.

Not the newest, but the best?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These XM4's are just what I needed. My XM3's are dying and the XM4's have updated Bluetooth to allow for multiple device connections. These may be two versions old, but the XM5/6's do not fold up as compactly and, as reviews point out, the headband may be slightly tighter. ANC is great and the sound is balanced.

The sound quality is insane
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You would think for a pair of headphones that is over three years old that they would sound as if they would be falling off in sound quality . But that’s where you would be wrong they still hold up to be some of the best sounding headphones to date. Also, I know people don’t like to download apps for a lot of things, But the app that works with this pair of headphones Is worth it because of all the features that it holds you can have a custom EQ you can tweak different options in there. The pass-through is really nice as well. There’s a lot of great features.

10/10 Exquisite Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable, stylish, and audio quality is fantastic. The microphone isn't as great - when on a call you can hear the other line perfect but when you speak the caller has difficultly hearing you. Fabric around headband is delicate so take care not to drop or scratch. Overall excellent headphones and super comfortable!

Great wireless headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I owned the WH-1000XM3's and loved them. Great sound, flawless pairing on two devices, and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. My only complaint was an intermittent, faint static sound that only was noticable between songs. The XM4's sound even better with no static sound. You won't be diappointed.

Best headphones I've ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned several different pairs of headphones from several different manufacturers, and these are by far my favorite. My last set was actually a pair of Sony wh- xb900n's, which I liked but wasn't blown away by. These blow them away. I like the fit of the XB's a bit more, but these aren't uncomfortable at all. The sound paired with the noise-reduction makes buying these a no-brainer.

Excellent Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony headphones are amazing! The headphones are designed to be both comfortable and stylish. The sound quality is impeccable. The only con I would like to point out is that sometimes the headphones will automatically connect to other devices they have been paired with and will refuse to connect to my current device without holding down the bluetooth button and pairing again.

Posted .Hi hellocorky,
Thank you for an amazing review! We're glad to hear that you like the comfortable fit, stylish design and great sound quality of the WH1000XM4. We're sorry to hear that you are having issues with Bluetooth communication on the headphones. If you touch an NFC-compatible smartphone to the headset while the headset is connected to another Bluetooth device, the connection switches to the smartphone (One-touch connection switching). However, the connection cannot be switched when talking on a headset connected to a Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone.
When an NFC-compatible smartphone is connected to the headset, if the smartphone is touched by another NFC-compatible Bluetooth headset or Bluetooth speaker, the smartphone is disconnected from the headset and connected to the Bluetooth device.

Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I work with running diesel engines on a daily basis, anyone with a tractor can tell you how loud those things can get. Brought my headphones with me to work to see if I could use them in place of my Peltor workman earmuffs, turns out XM4’s have better noise canceling. There are a few annoying features. The app is very Sony, so half the features don’t work and the other half only work some of the time. The touchscreen on the outside of the right muff was cool when I first got them, now it’s just annoying, often increasing/decreasing volume when I want to skip a song. Speak-to-chat is also just a ridiculous feature, can’t use it in public, constantly activates when I’m laying in bed, turns itself back on randomly. It’s classic Sony, awesome tech, miserable software.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable, great bass. Was worried at first because the noise cancellation made me feel like I needed to pop my ears but that went away after about 4 hours of use. No problems now. Ordered online and was behind counter for me the next morning. 10/10

Best Daily Use Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using these headphones for about a year now and it's been a game changer for my day-to-day. I work remote but the headphones work great for calls on all types of apps (zoom, google meets, teams, etc) and the ANC blocks off the background noise if you have some family. I only have the occasional connection issues but it isn't anything you can't fix with a quick reset.
