Peak (on sale)
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are awesome, I use these to jump rope and relax on my patio. The noise canceling is awesome and does its job. My son has autism and uses the ANC when he's in large crowds. My favorite feature is the quick ambient mode, simple hand over the right headphone and you can have a quick conversation, even lowers your music volume for you, hand off and it goes right back to the volume you had it and noise canceling on. The app works like a dream. Only complaint is it's slow for the app to recognize the headphones are on, but could be my phone or my lack of patience lol Worth the price when on sale

Solid pair of headphones!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones for the reduced price. Audio quality is solid and the Bluetooth has been very handy while traveling. Took a little time to get used to compared to open ear. Battery life is a little less than expected with certain settings enabled.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed review, TobinD!
We are pleased to hear that you found the WH-1000XM4 headphones to be a great value at the reduced price and that you are enjoying the solid audio quality and very handy Bluetooth feature while traveling.
We understand that switching from open-ear headphones requires a slight adjustment, and we appreciate you giving yourself time to get used to the sealed fit. We also acknowledge your feedback regarding the battery life being a little less than expected when certain features (like full ANC or certain codecs) are enabled; performance can vary based on usage settings.
We are glad the XM4s are serving you well on the go!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Great for Entertainment & Work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since working from home I needed a good pair of truly wireless headphones or earbuds to use. These new Sony headphones is efficient when listening through your computer and answering calls from your phone without the hassle. During a call, your music is paused from your computer and resumes after finishing a call. Simple as that. Also the comfort is a plus, along with the noise cancellation.

9/10 if you ask me
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are probably the best headphones i’ve bought. Personally, I love how you can customize the sound and the bass when listening to music. It’s like like I can hear each instrument while also being able to hear the song. Only thing I don’t like is that I can’t connect them to my PS5 via bluetooth, using the cord can be annoying at times.

Good sound quality & Noise cancelation
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to pair with good sound, battery life & better bass than previous sony xm3. New feature is ability to "auto hear" when mic detects someone talking to you, but I didn't care for that option personally. Must use touch controls to change volume, track, answer. Some people will not like that, but the device looks better without buttons.

Loves the noise cancellation, the best sound quality, and overall great feel and comfortable to wear. Oh yeah, can't forget he loves the touch controls. He wears them all the time.

Best wireless headphones money can buy.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After months of watching YouTube reviews videos I finally pulled the plug and purchased them. Not a regret in the world…they’re just as good as the reviews claimed. They feel great on the head and sound awesome. The noise cancelling is the best I’ve had in a pair of headphones. Going to enjoy these on my flight to Hawaii in a couple weeks.

Amazing Product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great. The noise cancelling is great though does hurt my head after a while because it applies pressure. The fitment is quite good. But I give it 4 stars because recently I have had a problem, the headphones will randomly disconnect from my phone. It doesn’t happen often but if it didn’t happen at all, I would give this product 5 stars.
