Good for noise cancelling, not so good for talking
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall these headphones are great, the sound quality for me is adequate and the noise cancelling is great. The only problem I have had is the ear phones are a bit tight and after prolonged use it causes sweat and a bit of discomfort but it’s not to noticeable. I have had a bit of trouble with the app that comes with it but after a bit of trial and error I have gotten used to it.

Great ... but better be at this price :)
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow. Just a different experience now with these headphones. The user experience is a bit clunky when learning how to connect them and I wish I could have connected to PS5 w/o an adapter but these things are phenomenal.

In addition, you can connect these headphones to most televisions over Bluetooth so you can get the audio from your PlayStation.

Best Noise Canceling Headphones period.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't think sony would be able to improve from its wh1000xm3 but they have some how. Noise canceling is better, they sound amazing and the fact that I could get them in this best buy exclusive midnight blue color, it was totally worth the upgrade for me.

Nice sound but Bluetooth connectivity issue
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this during thanksgiving, assuming this was a good product. However this model has serious connectivity issues. It does not automatically connect to your paired Bluetooth device (at least my headphone) and you need to reset the headphone every time before connecting which is pain. Quite disappointed but I am sure Sony will fix it in future.

Posted .Hi AshwiniM,
We're so sorry to hear you’re having such a frustrating experience with your WH-1000XM4s.

Sony xm4

But if you have the WH-XB900N they will sounds very similar so I’m not sure if it’s really worth the upgrade. But if you can find for a discounted price. You will not regret it.
