Worth the Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical on spending a high price for these but they were definitely worth it. The connect seemlessly with all my bluetooth devices. The app to manage which devices I can connect to is also really helpful for when I need to switch between devices. The noise canceling feature is also top notch. It's helpful for when I'm watching TV and I could just drown out the noise in the background. Highly recommend getting these headphones if you're in need for something more premium.

||Posted .

Probably the best noise ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my opinion, these are the best wireless noise canceling headphones you can buy. They have very good range, a bit of a bass boost, but nothing too muddy. And the noise cancellation is superb.

Very happy & always looking for excuse to use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really a 4.7 only because they are not quite as comfortable as I would like. Can't wear them for more than hour (think podcasts). Dual pairing is brilliant (phone and TV) and swaps between devices automatically and effortlessly. I like the layout of the new app as well. Not a good a Philips Hue but way better than Sonos. Oh and yah they sound really good too :) I got them for $100 off with a my $50/yr membership!!! (so worth it).

Headphones Creak/pop, but are otherwise great
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality and noise cancelling are great, as advertised. I can’t really add to what’s already been said in the reviews for this or the previous model. My only complaint is the large amount of mechanical noise (creaking and popping) I’m hearing as the the headphones flex or adjust to head movements. They sound extra loud because everything else is so quiet. It’s probably made worse by the focus/study playlists I’m using for work from home.

Some of the best over the ear at headphones
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my daughter for over the year headphones she had an older pair that finally went out. She had them for years. We replaced them with these because she researched all the Sony headphones and these among the best after she got them, she absolutely fell in love with them and uses them constantly

Posted .Hi ErainaJ,
We are thrilled to hear that your daughter is completely in love with her new WH-1000XM4 headphones! It is wonderful to know that her research confirmed these are an outstanding choice and that she is using them constantly. We are also incredibly pleased that her previous Sony pair provided years of excellent service—that speaks directly to the quality and durability we engineer into our products.
Thank you for being a loyal Sony family and for the fantastic five-star review!

GREAT!! Wonderful noise cancellation.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After using this product for couple months now i am absolutely IN LOVE with my purchase not to mention the great customer service you get from the Best Buy employee who made my experience easy when i had to come in for an exchange. I love the hands free fetures this headset has, it is great for the gym, Cancels out so much background noise and I love how personize you can make these headphones to your prefured audio experience. It had Alexa built in if you use alexa a lot this would be another great devise to add. Only issue i have with it is that the pairing experience is quite hard to connect to whenever i want to switch to use on another device but maybe thats just me, and also how when i run or move my head too fast it likes to slide off my head but other than those minor details its a great pair of headphones.
