Best Value and Audio Quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably the best over the ear headphones ive ever owned. Great sound quality and they are super comfortable. Noise cancelling is great but would be better if the transparency mode was a little better sound can be a little muffled and hard to hear compared to AirPods Max or standard Air Pods Transparency modes.

Nice color
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. They are easy to set up and use. They connect to my TV automatically when I turn them on, unlike my previous set where I had to connect through settings every time. The sound is really good. I got these on sale for $279 and they are worth it. The midnight blue sold at Best Buy make them really stylish.

Impressive Headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation is next level. I can completely tune out the world when I need to focus or just enjoy peace and quiet. It works beautifully in noisy environments like airports, coffee shops, or even at home when things get busy.

Worth the upgrade for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a college student that travels a lot for school. I got the XM3’s last year and they were easily the best headphones I’ve ever had until I got my XM4’s the other day. For me it was worth the upgrade just to be able to connect to multiple devices at once. The noise cancelling seems slightly better, but it was already very impressive. I notice slightly more clarity in sound with the new ones as well. The sensor that pauses the music when you remove the headphones isn’t the best because I like to hang them around my neck instead of removing them completely so the music will resume on its own. I’ve gotten so used to pausing as I’m taking them off that it’s not really an issue to me. Placing your hand over the ear cup to activate ambient mode seems to work much faster compared to the XM3’s which was a big improvement for me. I haven’t noticed much of a difference in comfort. I got the silver XM3’s and XM4’s, and the new ones are closer to actual silver/gray with each section matching while the XM3’s have a bit of gold in the color and the color isn’t consistent. I see a lot of people recommending the XM3’s since they’re cheaper now but in my experience that will just leave you wanting more.

Sony on the come up
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far, the best noise canceling headphones on the market. The durability of the materials and the build of it really does, make you feel like these are top of the line headphones, and not like those other ones where they use cheap materials. The comfort on this thing is immaculate, and I have a big head, so that says a lot. 10/10

Best headphones for the price

Posted .Hello WinA,
Thank you for choosing Sony!
We're excited to hear that you’re enjoying the WH1000XM4 headphones and appreciate their great sound quality and value. Your honest note about the bass response is especially helpful, as it offers valuable insight into your listening preferences.
To enhance your experience, you can adjust the bass on your WH-1000XM4 headphones using the "Sony | Sound Connect" app. The app lets you choose from preset sound profiles or create a custom equalizer setting, where the "Clear Bass" slider allows you to increase or decrease the bass to your liking.
For a step-by-step guide, this video shows how to adjust the bass and equalizer settings: https://youtu.be/z9Ak6Z0qxz0?si=r4jBO5LentUDXc6j.

Much better than surface 2 and Bose
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow! I have tried the big 3 consumer NC headphones and these beat the other two. I love Sony sound, but the new EQ has something for everyone. You can dial in a Bose-esque sound profile. I wear for 4-6 hours per day constantly streaming and I get 4 days use from these (NC on). Get them on sale, these are great.
