Sound is Amazing but Phone calls not so
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just purchased the Midnight Blue pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones. After listening to music every day on them since I purchased, I can say the sound is amazing, I would say the best sounding headphones I have. The noise-cancelling feature is much better then my old pair. But talking on the phone is not so good especially for the other person. When on the phone my voice fades in and out to where the other person I’m talking to can’t hear me but they are crystal clear to me. I have the latest version of firmware 2.5.0 and it’s disappointing that a $349 pair of headphones can’t conduct a phone call. If phone calls are important to you I would advice not to get these but if sound quality while listening to music is then these are great.

Posted .Hi rtford31, we're glad you like the sound quality of our newest industry-leading noise canceling headphones. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with your SONY unit. Use the Bluetooth device to re-establish the connection. Select HFP or HSP for the profile. Use a smartphone or mobile phone at least 50 cm (19.69 in.) away from the headset. Noise may result if the smartphone or mobile phone is too close to the headset.
The WH-1000XM4 headphones offer further improvements to our industry-leading noise cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and smart listening that adjusts to your behavior and your location. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. For total convenience, WH-1000XM4 headphones can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connect to the right one automatically. You'll also be able to quickly, smoothly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl

Incredible sound!
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love wearing these headphones while I'm working out or even shopping at the grocery store or I can listen to some great music without hearing external sounds. With one touch on my headphones the music stops and I can talk to people with my headphones still on and hear them perfectly! I highly recommend this model and this series presented by Sony. Best Buy is a great place to purchase these along with reasonably priced protection plans.

All around good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic headphones! Sound, battery life and features are all top notch. Wish the weight was a little better distributed on the top of head but improvements on the ear over last year much appreciated. Wish was a little better integrated with iPhone and the app was a little smoother.

Posted .Hi AbrahamC, You've made an excellent choice! Thank you for upgrading to your new WH-1000XM4 headphones. We're glad you're enjoying all the improvements we made on these headphones. Your assessment is spot on! The headphones blend sophisticated style with exceptional comfort. Super-soft, pressure-relieving earpads in foamed urethane evenly distribute pressure and increase ear/pad contact for a stable fit. And with a lighter-weight design, you'll barely notice you're wearing them. Thank you so much for the amazing review and for trusting Sony! -Jess

Sony mark 4
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second time purchasing this product. I initially bought a pair for myself and decided to buy a pair for my wife, because she kept stealing mine! They’re that good. Highly recommend. I also opted to buy these even with the mark 6’s available, because these headphones are reliable and get the job done in so many ways!!

Posted .Hi RamseyS,
That is a wonderful compliment to the WH-1000XM4—so good you needed a second pair! It sounds like your wife has great taste!
It’s completely understandable why you chose the XM4s again. They truly are an incredibly reliable and high-performing pair of headphones, and many people appreciate their perfect balance of excellent noise cancellation, superior sound quality, and exceptional comfort for long listening sessions.
Enjoy your two pairs of fantastic, reliable headphones!
Best regards, Eliab

Not My Preferred Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, these are good Wireless Noise Canceling headphones and are probably great if you have never tried Bose Quiet Comfort headphones or Apple Airpod Pros. Pros: Noise Canceling is very good Ambient Noise system is good Fit is nice Sound is great They turn off automatically Battery life is great Cons: Re-Connecting to devices is cumbersome Controls are terrible (Volume, Play, Pause, Stop) Default Settings are trash Difficult to switch between devices Prefer On/Off button than a momentary button Only extra button is useless Overall, I prefer my Apple Airpods over these. I would also prefer the Quiet Comfort Bose that I lost to these. The noise-canceling on these are superior to all, but they've become so difficult to use that I just prefer not to. What's the use of the greater noise canceling if you turning it on takes 5 minutes.

Great Heaphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound for these headphones are great. I really don't have any major complaints about them. I would just say that they are sensitive to touch, so if you are using them while moving around a lot, turn off the touch controls so that the music won't randomly pause.

it is a steal for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is much better than some of the high end headphones found in Magnolia. Very good warm bass but it overshadows the high frequencies. The sound may sound muddled. But for the price, it is worth like a steal. Surely, it is very highly recommended for the price.
