Nice gift
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a gift for my daughter for Christmas. It is lightweight and seems so much more convenient than the wired headphones from back in the day. She has not used them yet, but it's exactly what she wanted.

Does a decent job cancelling noise
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this a couple of years ago to help deal with apartment noise while working from home. The noise cancelling does not provide absolute quiet but reduced the noise enough I could concentrate much better. It's music playing quality is decent.

Sound vs Distance
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In comparison to my B&W PX7 these are close in comfort and ease of use. The radio is stronger and goes about 10 feet further in a straight line and 3 to 5 feet side to side. The sound is not as deep and pronounced as the B&W's but for general use its good. So trade off sound or distance. B&W's material feels finer (Carbon) and controls a little easier.

Not impressed

Posted .Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM4, SamraS. We appreciate your positive note on the sound quality and understand your expectations regarding bass performance.
The WH-1000XM4 offers several features that allow users to customize the audio experience to their liking. If you'd like deeper or stronger bass, we recommend adjusting the equalizer settings either through the Sony Headphones Connect app or your audio source. Settings such as "Bass Boost" or manual tuning of lower frequencies can help enhance bass response and tailor the sound to your preferences. Additionally, using high-quality audio codecs like LDAC or AAC can further improve overall sound quality and bass detail when paired with compatible devices.
We value input like yours, as it helps us continue improving our products. If you have any more suggestions or questions about optimizing your WH-1000XM4, please let us know.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

So worth it
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Haven't owned over-ear headphones in years but I'm getting tired of earbuds. Switched from Galaxy Buds Pro 2 to these and I don't regret it. They're not the most intuitive for touch control but once you figure it out it's very simple. Love the volume control option. I would recommend these for sure.
