Used to be the king
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loved these until the Apple Airpods max came out. These are now the #2 headphones. Great noise cancelling and fold up very small. Also very light. Sound is a bit muddles compared to airpods max or B&W px.

Excellent Sound, but so so BT
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is awesome. Then why only 3 star? Bluetooth connectivity is not stable - if you walk around it disconnects and even if you sit, it disconnects from Samsung TV and your show sound becomes distorted. From sound quality point of view, it is much better than Bose QC45 and Sony XM3. But if we consider Bluetooth connectivity, it is not as good as QC45.

Highly Recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.these are the best headphones i have ever had. there’s a bit of a pressure feeling (like if your on a plane) when you put them on due to the noise cancellation. Saying that the noise cancellation is a 10 out of 10. only con in the touch sensors aren’t sensitive enough so it’s a bit hard to pause,skip, lower volume,etc. p.s. i also don’t think there’s not much of a difference between these and the m5. these are better price for same awesome quality .

Good, not Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not an Audiophile, but I Love music, especially when I can hear and distinguish each instrument. I really like when I can hear the drumsticks taping the symbols. These headphones sound really good, but to my ears, they don't let me hear individual instruments so well. I returned them and are still searching. Wish I still had my old Radio Shack Realistic headphones from the 70's.

Posted .Hi Pminter,
Thank you for the feedback. We're sorry to hear the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones didn't meet your preference for hearing individual instruments. It sounds like you have a great ear for detail, a quality that's often best served by headphones with a more neutral sound profile. If you're still looking for that detailed sound, we invite you to check out our latest model, the Sony WH-1000XM6. They feature a new driver unit and audio processor specifically designed to deliver a clearer, more precise soundstage, making it easier to distinguish each instrument and hear the subtle details you're after.
Thank you for considering Sony products!
Best regards,
Dominick

Great alternative to Bose!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are a serious competitor in the upper end of the noise cancelling bluetooth phone arena. I find the noise cancelling feature to be top shelf in and around the house. I haven't had a chance to test in flight but see no reason that they are not state of the art there as well. The voice quality on calls is excellent. The quality with music is very enveloping, like being on stage with the musicians. Very easy to set up makes for a compelling package!
