These headphones rock!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First time spending a moderate amount of money on some good audio quality headphones. The connectivity is great and easily interchangeable with all your devices witch was a huge plus for me to be able to switch between my PC and phone. It will automatically switch for you if hooked up properly. I was really curious about where noise cancelling headphone tech was and this was a great example. Almost all ambient noise is blocked out from these especially if the ambient noise is from a distance. The closer it is the more easily it will still be picked up which is great if someone is trying to talk near you, you will still hear them unless the volume is completely blasted. Having kids these help out great for when they are watching tv or playing and having fun and instead of being frustrated i can still enjoy my content. I do not have a lot of other headphones to compare these to but the sound quality far exceeds any headphones I had prior even earbuds. They have extremely punchy and strong sound. You can get them to your desired genre preference using the app it comes with, Amazing high quality headphones at a reasonable price.

AMAZING
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was debating between these headphone and the Apple AirPod Max, I am so happy I chose these. They are so easy to use, lightweight, and have amazing quality. The only downside to these is that they take a little more time to switch between devices. I need to reconnect them to my laptop or iPad, it’s not too big of a deal! Overall, I don’t regret getting them at all!

Great wireless headphones for work and music
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been having problems finding good wireless headphones that I can use for both work calls through a laptop and cellphone calls. These definitely work well for both use cases, and allow you to connect to both laptop and phone at the same time. The sound quality is great, and wearing them for longer periods of time isn't too difficult. I'm still figuring out some things about how the ambient noise feature works, especially when it comes to Teams calls, but overall very happy with the purchase.

Best Noise Cancelling Headphones I’ve ever had
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best Noise Cancelling Headphones I had. Sound quality is another area where the XM4 excels. With powerful and dynamic audio performance, these headphones deliver a rich and detailed sound signature. The bass is deep and punchy, while the mids and highs are well-balanced, providing a satisfying listening experience across various music genres.

Much potential, falls short in a vital area for me
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this headset to replace a comparable one from another brand (quality problems IMMEDIATELY after the warranty expired). Was actually looking for the 1000XM3, but seeing that this newer model was the same price made for an obvious decision to go with the newer headset. My use case may be much different than most. I live in an OLD, small apartment: the HVAC is located in a cabinet w/slatted door in my living room. This means that when I have the heat or A/C on, it is very loud and thus makes watching TV very challenging. So my main usage of this headset is for watching TV. Well, I've encountered some problems here: for one, when the headset connects to my TV (Samsung 6-series w/BT) the sound is choppy. The TV is about 7-8 feet straight ahead of me, so range & interference shouldn't be a factor - it wasn't with my other-brand headset. The only way I am able to overcome this is to ALSO connect the headset to the Sony Headset App on my smartphone, whereupon the sound stabilizes. So it's disappointing that I must employ my smartphone as a middleman to use this headset with my TV. This would be excusable if not for the other, more frustrating issue: sound sync. We've heard it before, about wireless headsets used with videos: the audio is a fraction of a second "off" and does not match what you're seeing. It does not happen EVERY time, but does occur most times, maybe 1 in 4 uses the audio is actually in sync with the video. This seems like something that can/should be resolvable with a software or firmware update. And I hope it comes soon: b/c the potential of this headset is so high and as a result I can't bring myself to return it. The sound quality is top notch - not just for wireless, but for ANY type of headset. The noise cancellation is excellent, so when my a/c is on I don't hear it at all and get beautiful & uninterrupted sound while watching television. The headset is extremely comfortable and relatively light, making it easy to ignore the fact that I'm wearing it. Touch controls work very well, and I particularly like the ambient control where cupping your hands over the outside of the ears quickly allows outside sounds in. If the headset was being used only for music listening, it'd be a 5-star rating without question, and I'm sure many feel that way. But the audio sync with video is a big problem which, again, I hope Sony will resolve soon with ne firmware.

Posted .Hi TUBuckeye29, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your WH-1000XM4. While we're glad to hear you appreciate the sound quality, noise canceling feature, comfortable and lightweight design, very responsive touch control, and ambient sound control feature of the headphones, we regret to know that you're having a Bluetooth connectivity issues and audio delay issues with the unit.
To ensure you get the best Bluetooth connection, please set the headphones
Bluetooth Connection Mode to “Priority on stable connection” using the headphones connect app. Once you've set the Bluetooth Connection Mode to “Priority on stable connection" then there is no need for the smartphone to be connected to the headphones anymore.
With regards to the audio delay, these headphones supports Bluetooth version 5.0 which effectively generates higher quality audio with shorter delay times. However, The audio playback on this unit may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games.
We take into consideration all feedback to improve the performance and quality of our products.
Hope this helps! Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam

There is a reason these headphones have such amazing reviews! I'm in love! Incredibly INCREDIBLY comfortable, great features, easy set up, and the sound is awesome! The only downfall is the addotional incredibly amazing 360 sound is only available through apps, which i have amazon unlimited but still wish it was available for everything every time! I've never heard anything like this on headphones! They are incredibly great without it but insanely great with it!

High Quality Features Delivered
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones really do live up to the hype of other online reviews and customer feedback I reviewed prior to my purchase. Crisp clear sound with enough base to enjoy the songs but not so much that it drowns out the rest of the range. Noise cancelling is perfect for noisy rooms and can be used with variable ambient noise settings. The app is easy to master and it maximizes the headphone's features. The touch control on the headphone ear piece is sensitive and instinctively programmed. Within the headphone price point they are competitively priced, but I am glad I picked them up during the black Friday sales.

Decent bass reponse. In addition the noise cancellation is excellent. I am in my own world with these on. No planes flying overhead, noise from fans, TV's blaring in the background and loud people. I have connected the headphones to my iPhone, MacBook, Google Chromecast, Two smart TV's and even my Desktop computer. The two device capablitiy is convenient and the phone conversations sound pretty good for both parties. The battery life is really good and charging is pretty fast.

Great sound, annoying features
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.(1) The noise cancellation is great when playing music/video but when only using the noise cancellation I can still hear people speaking, it's kinda annoying. (2) The low-end frequencies are great. I do music production in these using FL Studio and Pro Tool and they perform great, better than my Beats Studio 2. (3) The Talk-to-Chat feature is annoying. I usually turn it off b/c the headphones will pick up on me singing or laughing at a movie and switch me to hearing everything around me. (4) The touch volume is annoying it doesn't allow you to slide your finger from low to max volume, instead you have to do a series of quick swipes to change the volume.

Posted .Hi Cwilson,
We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about the Speak-to-Chat, touch controls, and noise canceling function is greatly appreciated.
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.
To change the volume continuously: Swipe up or down and hold. Release at the desired volume level.
Hope this helps. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony.

As outstanding as people say
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This must be my 6th set of headphones. All of the others were name brand; none of them holds a candle to the Sony's. The noise cancellation is perfect; if you need to hear the person next to you, you just put your hand over the right phone and you hear them clearly. The musical sounds are bright and clear; it's the best stereo separation I have ever had. Very long battery life. I have used these headphones more in the last month that several others in a year. I cannot recommend these highly enough.
