Best over-ear headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product has tremendously changed by music listening experience. 1. The battery life on the device is amazing. I will go days where I listen to music for a couple hours or more before I get to even 40 percent battery life. 2. The noise cancelling abilities are better than I have heard in other over ear headphones. 3. Build quality is light yet solid, making it a comfortable wear for long periods of times. 3. The app the comes paired with the headphone allows for many useful abilities such as noise canceling adaption, multiple device connection, and many more. Overall great headphones.

awesome sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.loved my bose qc 35 and bought these to try out. the bass is much deeper and i love for music and movies. I do like the passive technology when i fly i can easily listen to flight changes etc without removing my headphones. Comfortable and now my designated travel set. However qc35 are still a bit more comfortable for extended use like gaming or for work. also the app is great and i can manage the noise canceling from my phone-- in addition its easy to manage multiple phones synced simultaneously (i have a work phone and personal phone) so playing music on one device and getting email notifications on the other is convenient.

Great choice
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love the headphones. The over the ear is so comfortable. Sound is clear you hear everything thing. I also like how customizable the headphones are with the Sony app. Because each person has a preference on how they like to hear their music you can make it sound how you like it. The work great for exercising you feel like your in your own world with the noise canceling feature. Once you start talking it stop the music. I liked that feature but because I also like to sing I had to turn it off because I couldn’t get through a song without the headphones thinking I was having a conversation. But you have so much control on how you want the headphones to work that it’s a great choice for anyone.

Best headphones ever !
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my favorite headphones I’ve ever had. The quality of sound is like no other and the noise cancelling feature works so well that it does make it hard for someone to come up to me and chat while I wear these. You can also adjust the settings on the app it comes with and I have the bass a bit boosted and I love the sound of it so much. The battery lasts forever and I don’t need to charge it that often either. Sony did their big one with this.

10/10 headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best wireless headphones I have owned. I used them during a 9 hour flight to Hawai’i and I was pleased at how comfortable they are over long wear periods. Great noise canceling, I accidentally put it on noice canceling at work and my co workers have to walk up and talk to me because I genuinely can barely hear them. Batterie seems to last the advertised 30 hours. 10/10 would recommend. Unable to speak on longevity/ build quality over time.

Well worth the price!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never really had a pair of nice over-the-ear headphones before but had gotten tired of earbuds and wanted to get something sturdy and quality to last me for a long time, and I’m so glad I chose these. Not only are they super soft, but completely cover/cup my ears so there’s no pressure on my cartilage piercings (something I was initially worried about causing irritation). I have a pretty small head so they fit comfortably without extending outward, but are still tight enough to stay in place on my head without slipping. I also absolutely love that I can switch between the different equalizer options to cater to what kind of media I’m listening to (audiobooks, different genres of music, etc). The noise cancelation isn’t as powerful as the AirPods, but it definitely does the trick. I also deeply enjoy that you can adjust how much ambient noise you want and the feature that allows noise transparency/audio pause when the headphones detect you talking or the headphones are removed. Has been used and helpful more times than I can count already. Overall, I’m super happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to spend a pretty penny on some headphones.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good noise canceling. Not audiophile sound quality but good enough to listen to all your favorites. Good battery life. Got myself a pair and bought another pair for my dad i liked them so much. Pretty comfortable. Not a big fan of that fake leather stuff just because if you sweat it can get sticky but thats partly me being a headphone snob.

I love the feature where you press your palm on the side to hear ambient sound when you want. Battery is phenomenal—I’ve had these headphones for a month, used them almost every day for an hour on average and only had to charge them once. Comfortable as well, even on a small head like mine.

Don’t hesitate, Go ahead and BUY.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are phenomenal. Noice cancellation, in app customization, sleek design…they’re really great. I picked these up because I refuse to pay for the AirPod Max. I used the headphones in the office, at the gym, and at home. They pair almost as nice as some of my Apple products, so don’t worry about lack of compatibility if you’re in the apple ecosystem. I truly don’t have any complaints. I can keep them on for hours at a time and barely kill the battery. These are everything I need when I want to fully dive into my listening experience.

LOVE THESE THINGS
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these things. Currently I have all types of headphones laying around the house. Sometimes I just buy them to just see what the hype is about. These Sonys are definitely not just laying around. The battery life is amazing, last all day and into the next. The noise cancelling is great, on a plane you really cant hear much with a movie playing and noise cancelling all the way up. The headphones are comfortable and you hardly notice them. I knew the call quality was going to be all there, and i didn't purchase them for calling so I'm not taking a star. It does deserve to be mentioned that the call quality is trash.

Review
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are easily among the best wireless headphones on the market, delivering an outstanding mix of sound quality, comfort, and industry-leading noise cancellation. Sound Quality: The audio is rich, clear, and well-balanced. Bass is deep without overpowering, mids are smooth, and highs are crisp. Whether you’re listening to music, podcasts, or watching movies, everything sounds clean and immersive. Noise Cancellation: This is where the XM4 truly shines. The active noise cancellation is top-tier, blocking out everything from airplane engine noise to background chatter. It creates a quiet, focused listening experience that’s hard to beat. Comfort & Design: The headphones are lightweight with soft ear cushions, making them comfortable for long listening sessions. You can wear them for hours without discomfort, which is perfect for travel or work. Battery Life: You get up to around 30 hours of battery life on a single charge, which is excellent. Even better, a quick 10-minute charge can give you several hours of playback. Smart Features: Sony packed these with useful features like touch controls, speak-to-chat (pauses music when you talk), and multi-device pairing. These small conveniences make a big difference in everyday use. Downsides: • Not fully waterproof (just basic resistance) • Touch controls can be a little sensitive at times • Slightly older model compared to newer XM5 and XM6, but still highly competitive

Excellent set of bluetooth headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is probably not a lot I can say that hasnt already been said about these headphones but I'll give it a whirl. I was impressed with the sound quality. I was expecting it to sound like a typical pair of popular headphones where the bass is so muddy that it ruins the entire sound. This is fortunately not the case. There is also an equalizer in the app to adjust the sound to your liking. 360 reality audio is mostly a gimic. To start there are very few ways to actually use this. The way I used it was through deezer. There is a special deezer app that allows you to play songs with 360 reality audio. I tried comparing a few songs between the normal deezer app and the 360 reality app. I think I prefer the way it sounds with the normal app. It does sound more open with 360 reality audio but it also sounds more processed. A pair of headphones with a wide sound stage and good imaging sounds far better. I think 360 reality audio would be cool if it could be used games or movies but not with music. The battery life is fantastic. I tend to use it in short bits of maybe 30+ minutes here and there. I find I rarely need to charge them. I dont have a ton of experience with noise cancelling headphones. I was initially a little dissapointed in how much it cancelled. This doesnt block as much noise as something that isolates the noise like a pair of shure or etymotic earbuds. Since thats what I often use I wasnt blown away by the noise cancelling ability like others have been. One thing I was dissapointed in that I havent really seen mentioned anywhere is that you cant connect to two devices and use LDAC at the same time. You have to choose which one you want to use. Higher quality or two devices. All the reviews seem to point out that these headphones support these two great features but fail to mention that you cant use them at the same time. Hopefully they figure out how to make both work at the same time in a future version of these headphones. Until then I tend to mostly treat these as the multipoint feature doesnt exist. Overall, these are a great pair of headphones and would highly recommend them.

Top Notch noise cancelation, great sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gotta say I'm very pleased with these! My office has several people just outside of it in cubicles and I can hear everything they say. These allow me to enjoy an open door while not having to take part in every conversation they have! Great for productivity! The sound quality is also very high, these are not reference headphones, they are arguably not audiophile grade either, as many audiophiles want a flat frequency response to hear the music as intended. These give you a bit of boost in the bass range, and have a very "fun" sound to them. They last forever on a charge it feels like, and sound good enough they don't have me yearning for my "hifi" pairs back at home.

So good, but not perfect.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise cancelling. AMAZING battery life. Very comfortable. Really, the only reason it isn't a 5 are down to two reasons: Batteries: I'd rather replaceable batteries (no e-waste when the batteries eventually dies) and good but not great sound. But Sennheiser and the like aren't making the same great ANC headsets. And I love that I can still use a jack!
