Posted .Hi Cameron, we're glad you like the sound quality and noise canceling feature of our product. The WH-1000XM4 headphones offer further improvements to our industry-leading noise cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and smart listening that adjusts to your behavior and your location. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. For total convenience, WH-1000XM4 headphones can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connect to the right one automatically. You'll also be able to quickly, smoothly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl

Havent bought any headphones since
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Whether if its this version or a previous (they look the same) but it dawned on me that several years later they are still sounding as good, clean, and intact as the day ive bought em. Def worth the buy. Ive been using the same pair and im sure its been well over 3 years now.

Wonderful
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones! I had to buy two pairs because of a water related accident the first time and both times the headphones worked great (obviously before they went into a bag with an unsecured water bottle) The damaged pair I actually still use and keep with my computer, as the headphone jack still works even if the wireless part doesn't. The noise canceling is great, and the sound quality is even better. I prefer these over the more recent model.

Sony XM4
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like these headphones. Sound quality is great, noise cancellation is good, incredibly customizable. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is I feel it can be a little bulky if you have a smaller head.

Best Noise Cancelling Headphones in the WORLD
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No matter how much I write here, it isn't enough to describe how beautiful these headphones are. If you are ever looking for a synonym of the word 'Perfect', feel free to use Sony WH-1000XM4. The Sony Headphones App is amazing and versatile. You can customize your music in plenty of ways which makes you the master of your own music. Lastly, I never realized how crap the headphones in the Aeroplane are until I used my Sony XM4. Wow, the flight attachment is extremely useful if you are travelling across continents and want to cancel all the noise in flight and get a calm and cozy experience.

Great Headphones
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Possibly the best Headphones ever. Blow away Beats and sound better than Bose (my opinion). I use them when I cut grass and cannot hear mower at all. Bass is great and highs are clear.

Great sound, okay comfort
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After listening to just one song with this headset I completely get the hype around it. The sound quality is better than that of any headphones I’ve ever used, most noticeably in the mid-range. I really like the swipe commands and the auto-pause. My only complaints are with the band of the headphones. After about an hour or so my head starts to hurt from the pressure of the band. This doesn’t seem to be an issue for many other people so maybe I have to adjust the length of the sides, but it isn’t comfortable at all past the 2-hour mark. Still though, I think the sound quality mostly makes up for that, so I’d rate this 4 stars overall.

PERFECT FOR PLANES
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never wrote a review before but these are crazy good. I was on a flight from Vegas to Portland and there was this crazy lady who was getting mad at a family. Apparently, she was screaming and complaining the whole time. BUT I only knew after when we were de-boarding because people were filming her getting off the plane and I was listening to music <3

These headphones are truly excellent
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As I said in the title these headphones really get the job done. In addition to these headphones I have a pair of AirPods Pro. The noise cancellation on these headphones is far superior! I love the quick ambient noise feature by putting your hand over the earcup, it’s great for needing to hear the outside world fast. My ONLY complaint (so far) is that over a long period of time the top of the headband starts to hurt a little. Other than that small annoyance, these headphones are amazing.
