Superior build
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Build quality is far better than their successor. Wh-1000xm5 sound quality a bit better than these but the build quality of the 1000xm4s are superior.

Posted .Hi papiloxs!
It is most rewarding to hear that you appreciate the great build quality of the XM4 model.
Even though the XM5 has some sound improvements, the XM4s still deliver a premium audio experience with features like our industry-leading noise canceling using the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1, Speak-to-Chat, and an impressive 30-hour battery life with quick charging.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Warm regards,

Skullcandy Crusher ANCs bow in respect to these.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You already know. These are by far the best headphones for the price. I originally had the skullcandy crusher ANCs, and thought I would miss the bass. However upon revisiting them today, the clarity of the Sony's sound with great bass, far outweigh the eye rattling subwoofer bass from the ANCs

Good headphones, slightly cheap feeling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, excellent noise cancelling. Touch controls aren't exactly my favorite but these headphones make up for it everywhere else. Only real complaint is the headband feels a lot cheaper than the older WH-1000XM3s, instead of soft touch plastic it's a really awful feeling scratchy kind. Not encouraging at nearly $300

Best Value and Audio Quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably the best over the ear headphones ive ever owned. Great sound quality and they are super comfortable. Noise cancelling is great but would be better if the transparency mode was a little better sound can be a little muffled and hard to hear compared to AirPods Max or standard Air Pods Transparency modes.

Real does a good job
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never had sound cancellation headphones before. They were more than I wanted to spend, even on sale. But I am glad I did and wish I had got them years ago. These work well. Use them at gym, beach and even at home if watching something when I don’t want to bother anyone. Just about tunes everything out. My wife’s not crazy about that. ;-) Battery lifer is good but not great when compared to my previous Sony headphones. Not sure but maybe something to do with sound cancellation ?

Nice color
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. They are easy to set up and use. They connect to my TV automatically when I turn them on, unlike my previous set where I had to connect through settings every time. The sound is really good. I got these on sale for $279 and they are worth it. The midnight blue sold at Best Buy make them really stylish.

Not bad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not bad headphones, sound quality is excellent for a non-audiophile. Noise cancellation works a charm, I can usually wear these for a couple of hours before I need to rest my ears. They sit a little tight on my head even with adjustment, but it’s not unbearable. Bluetooth is quick and easy to connect. Included case is rigid, do not over-torque the headphones when putting away in the case, I feel like it could be an easy failure point. Overall not bad. If you see them on sale I’d recommend picking them up.

Sony on the come up
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far, the best noise canceling headphones on the market. The durability of the materials and the build of it really does, make you feel like these are top of the line headphones, and not like those other ones where they use cheap materials. The comfort on this thing is immaculate, and I have a big head, so that says a lot. 10/10
