Good
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise canceling if you’re set on having top quality technology. The app is beneficial to use for eq and adapting to your ears. These have very clear and balanced audio. Unfortunately I can’t give this pair 5 stars due to them not being as loud as I would like. I tend to listen to my music full blast.

Great Value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased in 2025 at less than half the price of the then current model XM6. I'm willing to pay for the best if I can afford it, but value matters even more to me. I didn't notice any difference between the two in minimal testing, so saving about $200 was the right choice for me.

Posted .Hi WeiszGuy,
We are pleased to hear that you found such excellent value in the WH-1000XM4! While newer models like the WH-1000XM6 introduce specialized features such as an upgraded 10-band EQ, improved transparency mode, and the ability to listen while charging, the XM4 remains a fan favorite for its comfortable folding design and industry-leading noise cancellation. We agree that the "value-to-performance" ratio of the XM4 is hard to beat, and we're glad they are providing the premium experience you were looking for at a price that works for you.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Decent
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are not fully noise cancelling, and expect to hear loud noises if you’re in a mildly loud environment like a coffee shop. But they’re comfortable and have great sound

Meh - the XB910 would have been fine.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tested this for the past 3 days.. so my time is limited but a total of 20 hours. Bluetooth to my computer was easy to setup, but the volume up and down worked and stopped. The audio quality was poor, in games which makes me believe its a driver issue, but I stopped using them because of the performance. - Voice chat was clear and the range was about 50% more than my Logictech headset, allowing me to run to the front door and kitchen without disconnection. Using these headphones on the phone is ok. Audio is great. The Volume up and down touch pad is complete trash and non responsive. Design: great comfort, tested twice for 6 hours straight. Audio: good audio quality, with an app to allow for controlling Base and Treble settings. I bought these on sale and think I over spent for the issues I am having with the touch pad.

Best Noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are true noise cancelling headphones. They have all been great quality. These are no exception. I usually buy the earbuds or smaller but needed something for a long plane trip and got these. The cool part also is the app that goes with th allows you to attenuate the noise cancellation. Letting in a percentage of sound around in. Worth the price. You won’t be sad you got them.
