Pretty good for the price point and definitely wor
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The customization and sound quality is really amazing especially with a little bit of tweaking through the app and it allows for excellent music and the noise cancelation is pretty good but that is expected for the price point, its able to block out most noise whether it be with the adjustable feature it has within the app and on the physical buttons and the soft padding on the cups and head band allow for wearing the headphones for a pretty long time. That being said sometimes it randomly disconnects and takes about 2 to 9 seconds to reconnect.

Posted .Hi Honestly,
Thanks for the 5-star review! We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying the amazing sound quality and effective noise cancellation of your WH1000XM4 headphones. The comfort features, like the soft padding, are a key design element that allows for extended listening sessions.
Regarding the random disconnections, we understand how frustrating that can be. While these headphones are designed for a stable connection, factors like wireless interference from Wi-Fi routers, other Bluetooth devices, or physical obstacles can sometimes cause this. For a more stable connection, you can use the Sony | Sound Connect app to switch the "Bluetooth Connection Quality" setting from "Prioritize Sound Quality" to "Prioritize Stable Connection". This can often resolve such issues by prioritizing a strong signal over the highest audio bitrate.
In case the problem persists, please make sure to reach to out technical support at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones for further assistance.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have an excellent day!

No real drawbacks
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only possible drawbacks to this are price (fair but they are not cheap) or wondering how to replace the ear pads. They sound fantastic and the noise canceling is so good I can take a nap at my desk while my kids play Minecraft on the TV :-). I use them for everything from YouTube to CyberPunk and recommend them highly.

XM4s - great value & continue to out perform XM5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used Beats (over the ear) headphones for many years. After listening to my son’s XM4’s, I knew there was no going back. After testing the XM6’s, while there are small upgrades, the XM4’s are proven and loved by many, including our family!

The King of over-the ear Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best over the ear headphones money can buy. They're light, they fit well, your ears and head don't get sore after extended use, and the sound quality is above and beyond what beats or Apple can provide. The only comparable brand is Bose, and you would be paying another $100-$200 for similar audio quality.

Another winning headset from SONY
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.An exceptional set of headphones. A lot of automation and sound tailoring possible with the Sony application. They are very comfortable and the noise cancelling is A+. I felt that I had to custom set many of the features to work well for my usage, but kudos to Sony for having that level of customization in their application.

Super comfortable and the sound quality is excellent. The noise canceling feature is next level and the fact that I can be connected to two devices at the same time and not have to manually switch back and forth between devices is pretty cool. Highly recommended.

Comfortable and great sound.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphone was very comfortable. I wore it while sleeping on a 5 hour flight and had no issues. The sound quality is great, watching movies and listening to music was a game changer for me. $350 is worth the price but is understandably expensive for most. If you ever see this on sale be sure to pick it up.
