Get These for Amazing Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound Quality- 8/10 I'm a bit of an audiophile and I have plenty of cans that sound much better than these. However, with the included EQ you can get pretty good sound from these with a little tweaking. Noise Cancelling- 10/10 With a newborn and a toddler, working from home has been quite a challenge. This noise cancelling is so good sometimes I just have them on with no sound playing just so I can experience quiet while I work. It's incredible.

Love these!!!!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So good I bought a 2nd pair because they were on sale which is rare. These offer fantastic sound and clarity without being plugged in. I have the bose Q35 wireless that I also like more for ANC but the audio is better with the XM-4's IMO. THe ANC is better with the Bose but these get the job done. If I were going on a plane I would take the Bose. If I wanted music I go for the sony and not plug it in because they are that good.

Posted .Hi Daniel,
Wow! We're glad you like the great sound, clarity and wireless connection of your new XM4 headphones. The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. If the noise canceling function is not sufficient. Check that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned off. Check the setting of the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. When the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on, the noise canceling function may become insufficient.
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. Meanwhile, the Equalizer lets you customize sound levels to suit your music. Thanks for choosing Sony! - Kris
Game changer!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sound great, but the active noise canceling is where it's really at. Working from home, my family is VERY loud and often breaks my concentration. These resolve that. Add to the fact that I can have them synched to my computer AND phone at the same time and that means I can stay in my little bubble as long as I want free of interruption. The must have accessory for working at home during these strange times.

Top quality headphones, highly recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m gonna be honest with you, I’m a huge fan of music. I listen in many ways across several devices and I’m really pleased to say that this model of Sony headphones is really cut from a different cloth. I can’t find a single thing I don’t like about the sound quality and the active noise cancellation is top tier. The only reason I’m pulling it down one star is because I find that the headband is structured a little loose. To elaborate further I need to expand them by 2 notches on each side and I’ve found that the headphones really like to slide into that position with little effort now. This could potentially become more detrimental down the road.

Sony did it again with another great headset.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I've own, but not by a lot. I think you have to get this model at the right price. Getting my set for under $250 made sense. The price made it a reasonable upgrade over the M2. It's lighter, sounds slightly better, and simpler to use with the Sony app. Is it a huge step from the older models? No, but it is an improvement and I think most people will be satisfied with their purchase.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th series. If you already have a preceding series, probably not worth the upgrade, but if you don’t, these headphones are great. The battery life seems better than advertised and their quick charging capability is more valuable that one might think.
