Worth the money!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are by far the best headphones I have ever listened to. I was a bit hesitant to pay the price tag these come with. So I bought a less expensive brand, I was dissatisfied and returned them for the Sony WH-1000XM4. I am so glad I did! The old saying "you get what you pay for" is certainly relevant here!

Great headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise canceling as i wear at home with loud kids and can barely hear them. Great features as it stops playing when you start a conversation with others and using gestures for controls, for example. Almost flawless, 4 stars as my wife says when i call her she can still hear the tv in the background supposedly. Look forward to using them on my next flight. Was a great deal since i got them on sale for black friday.

Headphone Essentials
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is by far my favorite purchase of 2021. An absolute essential. The sound quality is amazing and so is the noise cancellation. The design and slick and the material is very premium. I do not see any flaws in this product aside from its price. If you can find it on sale for around 250 or less, it is a definite buy!

Bought for gym use. Good quality.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for gym use. Great for blocking out noise during cardio, however will slip off head if doing weight training laying down.

Posted .Hi BG312,
We are glad to hear the WH-1000XM4 is performing well for your cardio sessions. To improve the fit during weight training, we recommend adjusting the headband so it sits slightly further forward on your head to create a more secure anchor point when leaning back. Please keep in mind that these headphones are not officially IP-rated for water or sweat resistance, so we suggest wiping the ear pads down after your workout to maintain the material and internal sensors.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Worth the price, still wait for a sale.
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well, this is a premium set of headphones. And it definitely delivers. Noise cancelling is great, comfort is great, and sound is amazing. Very convenient having multiple devices on Bluetooth. The cost is high, so you may want to hold out for a sale, but they’re a good pair of headphones.

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.

Clearest headphones I've ever heard.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I've ever owned. I have a pair of Bose QC headphones, and the clarity of sound from the Sony is far better. The noise-cancelling is also better on the Sony. I do find the headphones are bit sensitive to touch for the the controls, but once I get them set right they are phenomenal.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned several Bose headphones and these are as good if not better than any I have used. I’m not sure what I think of the touch controls over other headphones I’ve used, but these are very comfortable with a long battery life and great sound. All that said, I think you can’t go wrong with these or Bose. Just go with whichever you prefer.

Great Cans
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. The sound is great although not the best bass. They are so comfortable I can wear them for hours without feeling pressure on my ears. I really like the easy controls for skipping tracks or replaying ones I especially like. Raising or lowering volume is a snap. Of course not struggling with a cord is nice. I highly recommend.

Great noise canceling!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. The noise canceling is really great, I have young children and my one kid has a squeal that will split your ear drums. I put these babies on and tho I can still hear his squeal that rivals Mariah Carey’s highest octave range, it’s so much more bearable! Aside from that, the Sony app that comes with it is pretty cool I like to use it to change some settings. I think there’s definitely some quirks to it but overall great noise canceling comfortable and light headphones I highly recommend.
