Own two pairs
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones, waited years to buy a set of headphones because of cost and couldn’t find anything I liked. Bought these about a month ago and I have no regrets. Ended up buying my sister a pair as she loved them as much, if not more, than I do. Definitely worth the price you pay for what you get, quality is fantastic, very comfortable to wear, easy to use.

Clearest headphones I've ever heard.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I've ever owned. I have a pair of Bose QC headphones, and the clarity of sound from the Sony is far better. The noise-cancelling is also better on the Sony. I do find the headphones are bit sensitive to touch for the the controls, but once I get them set right they are phenomenal.

Me likey
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the design. Love the sound quality. But if you love deep base and loud music they arent as loud as the QC 45’s. Although, they do have a cleaner sound… Overall great but definitely think about the what type of listening you’ll be doing. Also the touch remote is annoying sometimes but thats just me

Better than the previous
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely when getting these I was a sceptical but honestly I don't regret the purchase. Definitely a huge improvement with the noise cancellation than the xm3. Also the ability to use no with just one but two Bluetooth devices is a plus for me since I do tend to use it with my phone and laptop. Also the comfortably has improved for the ears. Great product! Thanks Sony!

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned several Bose headphones and these are as good if not better than any I have used. I’m not sure what I think of the touch controls over other headphones I’ve used, but these are very comfortable with a long battery life and great sound. All that said, I think you can’t go wrong with these or Bose. Just go with whichever you prefer.

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!

Great Noise Cancelling Headphone.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise cancelling headphones that didn't produce any pressure like other ones I have used so I'm able to wear them for extended hours. I also like the added feature of the software so you can tailor the sound to how you like it. I found pairing the headphones with multiple devices easy and worked without issue.

Real does a good job
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never had sound cancellation headphones before. They were more than I wanted to spend, even on sale. But I am glad I did and wish I had got them years ago. These work well. Use them at gym, beach and even at home if watching something when I don’t want to bother anyone. Just about tunes everything out. My wife’s not crazy about that. ;-) Battery lifer is good but not great when compared to my previous Sony headphones. Not sure but maybe something to do with sound cancellation ?

Great noise canceling!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. The noise canceling is really great, I have young children and my one kid has a squeal that will split your ear drums. I put these babies on and tho I can still hear his squeal that rivals Mariah Carey’s highest octave range, it’s so much more bearable! Aside from that, the Sony app that comes with it is pretty cool I like to use it to change some settings. I think there’s definitely some quirks to it but overall great noise canceling comfortable and light headphones I highly recommend.

Great Cans
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. The sound is great although not the best bass. They are so comfortable I can wear them for hours without feeling pressure on my ears. I really like the easy controls for skipping tracks or replaying ones I especially like. Raising or lowering volume is a snap. Of course not struggling with a cord is nice. I highly recommend.
