Great headphones, stellar noise cancellation.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sound great and the sound-cancelling is incredible. I forgot to bring these on a flight and definitely missed them. They are also great for an office environment, if you need to focus and get work done. The microphones are okay for the type of device, but certainly don't replace a headset with a proper microphone arm.

I recommend getting them
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Over a year later and all i have to complain about is that i cant replace the earmuffs because itll cost me around 100 dollars to keep noice canceling. They became pretty flat around 3 months after i git them, but i wore them like 24/7. I dont regret getting them though. I sometimes go all week without having to charge them.

Feelin Blue
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.XM4. I have the XM2 and XM3, so I knew I would like this. I handed down the other two to my wife and son when I got this. The main reason for getting these is the ability to pair to two devices. I decided on the Blue color (XM2 were tan and XM3 were silver) I think the color is MUCH better in person. The copper "SONY" accents make these pretty classy looking. The case color matches the blue and the Zipper pull is the copper color. If you haven't had the Sony before, you cant go wrong. Price is better than Bose....and so is the sound and noise cancelling.

New favorite headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Build and sound quality are up there with all of the Bose headsets I've purchased before this set, but I personally feel that these blow Bose and Beats out of the water, especially since I paid less for these than the comprable headphones from other brands. Also, the look of these headphones is a lot better than the others in my opinion. Only problem I've had is getting the built in mic to play nicely with discord on my laptop, whether it's in wired mode with an audio/mic splitter, or in wireless mode.

Mic noise cancelling jittery
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The WH-1000XM4 are comfortable headphones with a lot of customizable features via mobile application. However, if you are looking for a headphone that you can use to answer phone calls, these are not the headphones for you. Noise-cancelling seems to work well with receiving but not transmitting sound, so your voice will sound muffled or jittery from the distant end. I tried stability control and multiple configurations, still low-quality voice especially on phone calls. Need to reboot a few times, Bluetooth can also tend to have interference, signal is not as resilient as you would expect on a $380 headphones.

Posted .Hi SoundCheck, While we are glad to hear that you are happy with the WH1000XM4, we are sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties using them for calls. For this, if your smartphone or mobile phone supports both HFP and HSP, set it to HFP. This will provide a better experience while receiving phone calls using the WH-1000XM4s.

Best headphones on the market*
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I had the XM3s and I loved those headphones. Used them every day while I was on the computer. Only reason why I upgraded was because I had the protection plan, so doing a swap was no problem. Got these boys on and the sound is great, the new proximity sensor is an amazing add, the ANC is the best, Bluetooth 5.0 is a must nowadays, connecting to two devices is so handy, the Type-C charging is top tier, and having access to either Google Assistant or Alexa is beyond convenient. The reason why there's an asterisk in my title is because of comfort. Because of my weirdly shaped head and ears, these headphones are not comfortable. And I only had them on for the evening. I can't see myself using these guys from the morning until three in the morning. No way. It's a shame, too. I was extremely excited to own these but alas, they are not meant for me. Comfort aside, they're still stellar headphones. Nothing beats the ANC
