Posted .Hi EricaM,
We appreciate you acknowledging the top-notch sound quality of the WH-1000XM4 headphones! We are sorry to hear they did not provide the necessary stability for your runs, as they are primarily designed for stable use during travel and daily commuting rather than vigorous athletic activity. For activities like running, we recommend considering one of our true wireless earbud models, such as the LinkBuds Fit, which are engineered with secure-fit wing tips and an IPX4 splashproof rating to ensure they stay comfortably and securely in place during movement.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
Best combo for Noise-Cancelling and Sound Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Noise-Cancelling and Sound Quality combination on the market! You usually either get good noise-cancelling, or good sound quality, but this one has an excellent combination of both. It's expensive, so I recommend getting it on sale like I did. Either way, an excellent pair of headphones.

Sony WH 1000XM4 headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are VERY quiet to outside noises! The batteries last a fair amount of time and charges quickly. I also have a Bose 35 and either one is good. I say....always try the ones you are looking for and get the one that you like.

Solid Buy
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really great ANC. Found them on sale and couldn't pass them up. I'm sure the newer model is slightly better, but the cost savings makes buying these the better decision. Sound is good and ANC works well. Case was nice.

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really had a tough time deciding these on sale for 240 i think and the beats studio for 150. The noise cancelling is best in class on these sony xm4s. If your on the fence they are the best period. Buy them trust me.

Last years best, still the best value.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing sound both for pop/rock as well as classical. Decent app that allows for equalizer adjustments. Not as seamless with Bluetooth connections as Apple AirPods. Would have preferred dedicated buttons to the trackpad style gestures.

Pretty good
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are really good at noise canceling and the sound is solid. The only issues I have with them is sometimes the headphones randomly disconnect for about 1 second. It has improved though with software updates through the app though. Comfort wise I would say it is pretty average, I do not usually like to wear them for hours on end like other headsets. That might be because i'm not used to the weight yet as I usually have lighter headphones on.

Great headphones with a few major drawbacks
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good headphones with lots of software but the software and the amount collected information is absolutely ridiculous. You need a lawyer to explain what you're agreeing to. Honestly I have no idea why these are so complicated. No ps4 or 5 support even though they are superior to the sets they make for the systems. Pretty much a let down other than the battery life and sound quality after finally getting them set up. If you are getting them just for your phone and dont care about signing your life away these are for you.

Posted .Hi DKII. while we are glad that you like the sound quality and battery life, we are sorry if you find these headphones complicated to use. This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have with our products. We would love to help you and turn this into a better experience.
You can connect these headphones to your television so you can get the audio from your PlayStation and other gaming consoles. PlayStation headphones are best to be paired with PS4/PS5 consoles.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, really Boss headphones. If you have any doubt about the quality of the noise cancellation technology, just drop it. It will block just about everything out. Blaring TVs, voices, engine rumbles, etc. Now, I'm just wondering if I need the Geek Squad on these. Bluetooth technology still isn't perfect and who knows if it'll crap out in two years./

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love my new headphones. I bought them to use when I’m traveling in my motor home which has a lot of road noise. But have since used them when working out and on an airplane. They are easy to use have great sound and definitely cut out all of the extra noise
