Great for Home or Mobile Use
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They work great, not ideal for studio quality sound engineering, but apart from that the best pair of headphones I've ever owned. If you need studio quality, get wired.

Posted .Thank you for your fantastic review, toastmalone!
We are thrilled to hear that you consider the WH-1000XM4 the best pair of headphones you’ve ever owned! That is high praise, and we are so pleased they are delivering a superb listening experience.
We also appreciate your insightful feedback on studio quality. You are absolutely correct—for the flat, uncolored frequency response required for professional sound engineering, a dedicated wired monitor headphone is always the best choice.
Thank you again for choosing Sony!
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team
Great ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are a great set of headphone. These headphones are good for listening to music when doing chores around the house or just sitting back and relaxing. For me the best feature is the ability to pause when the headphones are removed. They are excellent at blocking outside sound and sound great for music or podcasts. Their only weakest is phone calls, not as clear as when listening to music.

Exceptional sound quality, great noise cancelling

She loves them. Talked for days in the beginning about all the features and that they have excellent sound quality.

Speechless!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So glad I went through with purchasing these! I hesitated for a while because of the price. But when they were on sale, I jumped on it. I wish Spotify supported the 360 Reality Audio because I don't bother with 3rd party music apps I have not heard of. Regardless of that, the sound and features of these headphones is worth it to me. You get what you pay for!

Solid purchase

Noise cancelling and ambiance control give variety in sound output. Only thing i havent liked is the method to reach pairing mode seems to conflict with power button

Great headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome set of headphones. Great for work and lounging but not the best for working out. They slip off my head a lot and collect a lot of moisture from sweat, even though I wipe them off every time if needed.

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The balance is spot-on, bass is deep, mids are clear, and highs are crisp. It's a game-changer for travel and noisy environments. The Adaptive Sound Control is clever too, adjusting noise-cancellation settings based on what I'm doing and where I am.

Gift for teenage daughter
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for my daughter's 15th bday. She loves em so much, and uses em so much, that, frankly, it's annoying that I have to keep repeating myself when talking to her. It's like talking with a deaf person.

Incredible sound and comfort at reasonable value
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have been a gamechanger working from home during the pandemic. Sound is fantastic and noise cancelling is pretty strong. I did purchase these on sale ($70 off) which has greatly increased the value, but I would recommend at full price. During extended wear, they can start to bother my head, but the earcups are the most comfortable I have ever had (and wish the PS Pulse 3D headset learned from)
