The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely amazing headphones. I own A LOT of electronics, and these would be near or at top of them all. The sound quality is a 6 out of 5 (clarity and ANC). Call quality is not as great -- mic sounds muffled and the active noise cancellation (ANC) turns off -- but I just have to give these a 5.

Wow
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I put these headphones on and turned them on the white noise made me feel like I was alone. The sound quality while playing dance music was unparallel. I will definitely enjoy these for work purposes only ahem.. the USB C cord is pretty small in length but it charges quickly. The ear customization settings for better sound quality was mind blowing

Posted .Hi Mady,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM4. We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. Your feedback about its fit and mic quality is greatly appreciated. For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing the headphones properly and adjust the headband depending on your head shape. You may find this link helpful:

For optimum performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). When using a video calling application on a computer, switch the Bluetooth connection to HFP or HSP with the computer. During a video call, sound quality may become low due to the conditions of the communication line. You can also check the settings of the app that you are using for mic sensitivity if available.
Hope this helps. In case you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Winner over QC by far
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After trying out Bose QC this was an easy winner and in my opinion, xm4 beats QC everywhere except comfort. Everything including the trade-off was more than worth it. I highly recommend it.

The Hold Standard for Noise Canceling Heasphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably the best travel headphones out there. Superior noise canceling, great sound. Lots of features but confusing to learn them all and you have to put an app on your device. Also annoying that they try to upcharge you for 360 degree surround sound processing which is pure profit for them

Nice
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall a nice feature packed headphone. I am NOT giving 5 stars is only because of this one option missing which i need a lot which is there is no option to switch between the connected devices. Ex: I use these headphones with my Cell phone and Laptop so it would have been better if there was some button which allows you to switch to previously paired devices which my Bose Sound Sport ear phones do rather than going to the device and connecting.

Best ANC Headphones around!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best ANC headphones I've used! I've owned the Sony XM2 & XM3 prior to these. These improved on the ANC from the XM3 and those are still considered one of the best. The multipoint connection makes these so much better. My only issue with these would be that the "cabin pressure" feeling on these are ever slightly more noticeable than the previous models.

Great Buy
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise-canceling in this is amazing! I work at home and with the pandemic my kids are also home doing school. I throw these on and I can no longer hear my kids schooling and can get my work done with ease. Gaming is great with this pair with the 360 sound I can hear people from so far away that it gives me an advance in the game winning more often.
