These phones deliver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones deliver. Touted as the best NC phones, the XM4s did not disappoint. The freq response is wide (even wider if you run them wired) and the noise cancellation exceeded my expectations and my experience. While the Bose 700s are good, the XM4s are truly better. I did find them to be a little more brassy than the XM3s. My only disappointment was that the ear cushions are not thick enough to contain some of the higher volumes and someone sitting next to me can hear what I am listening to. But sound construction, wide freq response, full featured, phenom NC. What’s not to like?

Sony ruined it
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only issue with these headphone are if I say something, it shuts off. Did not realize that they do this. I have Bose noise cancelling headphones and they do not do that. Only gripe because they are actually good.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear that, aside from that one gripe, you’re finding the WH-1000XM4 to be a great pair of headphones.
What you're experiencing is a feature called Speak-to-Chat. It’s designed to automatically pause your music and let in ambient sound as soon as you start speaking, so you can have a quick conversation without taking your headphones off. We understand it can be unexpected if you prefer to sing along or talk while listening!
The good news is that you can easily turn this off. You can either:
Use the App: Disable "Speak-to-Chat" in the Sony | Headphones Connect app.
Use a Gesture: Place two fingers on the right ear cup touch sensor and hold until you hear "Speak-to-chat deactivated."
We hope this makes your experience much better, thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards,
Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Love these headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Basically it came down to 3 players in the market for over-ear. Sony vs Apple vs Bose After multiple reviews on YT and other tech pages, I went with Sony over AirPod Max for 2 basic reasons: 1) Price 2) Package Sony are literally half the price of APM!!! Also, it comes with carrying case and other things whereas Apple comes with a funny looking pouch(?!?) and exposes the softest part of the device! Sound is great and the companion app is great too, have put in some hours on it already. Cups were initially heavy on my ears but its getting more and more comfy daily.

Audiophile's delight...Superb!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm an old school audiophile and did research before buying. In addition to high quality audio I wanted maximum noise cancellation. Bose is a gold standard in audio and their noise cancelling technology is highly rated so I tested their headphone first. The Sony seems to be on par with the Bose for less money. I can find no fault with these. They are comfortable, great build quality, impressive sound, and excellent noise cancellation. I wish they had volume control on the headset, but other than that, I would highly recommend.

Bought for gym use. Good quality.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for gym use. Great for blocking out noise during cardio, however will slip off head if doing weight training laying down.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi BG312,
We are glad to hear the WH-1000XM4 is performing well for your cardio sessions. To improve the fit during weight training, we recommend adjusting the headband so it sits slightly further forward on your head to create a more secure anchor point when leaning back. Please keep in mind that these headphones are not officially IP-rated for water or sweat resistance, so we suggest wiping the ear pads down after your workout to maintain the material and internal sensors.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
