    These headphones are not great. Theyre not adjustable so if you have a small head theyll never stay put. Mine dont. Ive also noticed that the volume doesnt get very loud. Its almost like the headphones come programmed to be a certain volume and that is the loudest they can go. I neat returned them for this reason. They comfortable as far as the ear part and i do think the noise cancellation feature is pretty cool. I bought me a pair and my husband a pair.

      Hi Lavisha,

      We're glad that you like the comfort and noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you were already looking to return the headphones. The headband of the headphones can be adjusted to suit your head shape. You may refer to this link for more information:
      https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002928786.html

      For optimum performance, make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). For the best volume experience, turn up the volume of the headset and the connected device. Connect the Bluetooth device to the headset once again.

      Your feedback is greatly appreciated. This will certainly help us improve our products. Thanks for choosing Sony.

    sound stage is good, and anc is good when it comes to reducing low frequency noises (airplane engine, heater, etc.). battery life comes to around 15-17 hours depending on settings.

    Great present for my birthday. Got around Christmas on a good sale and after lots of research i got these for me and the boise for my daughter. She loves her but I like mine better. Also comfortable to wear and if my husband’s snoring gets to bad i put them on and it’s quiet even without the music

    Well, this is a premium set of headphones. And it definitely delivers. Noise cancelling is great, comfort is great, and sound is amazing. Very convenient having multiple devices on Bluetooth. The cost is high, so you may want to hold out for a sale, but they’re a good pair of headphones.

    These are by far the best headphones I have ever listened to. I was a bit hesitant to pay the price tag these come with. So I bought a less expensive brand, I was dissatisfied and returned them for the Sony WH-1000XM4. I am so glad I did! The old saying "you get what you pay for" is certainly relevant here!

    ANC is great. Sound is good. Bass struggles when it gets really loud. Earcups just sounded muffled. Transparency is ok. I still had to lift up a side to hear the conversation. Touch controls are acceptable. Can be sensitive sometimes. My main issue is that this thing gets HOT on the ears. Definitely buy it on sale if you are dead set on getting it.

    Wow! I liked the XM3, it feels and sound good. I’m so glad Sony finally came out with the new XM4 with multi device support. I waited to splurge on this headphone. The sound is still beautifully clear as the XM3. It fits nice and feel really light when wearing for long period of time. Still has best noise-cancelling feature of any headphones out there. Well worth the wait!

    It was down to trying these noise canceling headphones (THE BEST) or possibly doing something that would end up in court. Upstairs noise was really getting impossible to live with. As soon as we begin to hear "Henrietta Hippo" begin her baby elephant walk we put on our WH-1000xm4's and cannot hear anything but what comes in from the T.V. or stereo. Peace at last. Use with MEE transmitter/receiver so both my wife and I can enjoy our lives again. Also good when one of us wants to sleep while other listens to or watches something else. WORTH EVERY PENNY and a lot cheaper than moving or hiring a lawyer to work out a plea bargain.

    This is by far my favorite purchase of 2021. An absolute essential. The sound quality is amazing and so is the noise cancellation. The design and slick and the material is very premium. I do not see any flaws in this product aside from its price. If you can find it on sale for around 250 or less, it is a definite buy!

    I’ve been shopping around for a pair of ANC headphones for a while. I’ve used the Bose 700s, Bower and Wilkins PX7, and the WH-1000mx3s. I loved the mx3s but the fit was a bit uncomfortable for longer periods of time. That’s not the case with these new mx4s. The extra cushion feels great and they feel very light. Overall an excellent pair of headphones. Best in its segment!
