Solid headphones.

Bluetooth connection with multiple devices is unreliable at times. Audio doesn’t swap consistently when connected to laptops and my phone.

Good but ..
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones were good considering the price. Sound canceling is good, but AirPod pro is a little better. I dislike how you have to use a separate app to work with the headphones. Comes w a attachable cable so that’s convenient! But I couldn’t hear that well when I attached it to a audio interface though.. but it’s good pair of headphones for the gym

Exactly what I needed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome headphone! They were exactly what I needed and more. I was searching for some noise cancelling headphones to help block off noise while I studied. These did the job perfectly. They also project crisp sound for music. I love the feature in which it automatically pauses while speaking. I'm glad I can engage in a quick conversation and continue where I left off with my lectures of music.

Good Pair of Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my opinion this is one of if not the best ANC headphones for under 500 USD. I would probably get a skin on them since the matte material can get scratched up but other than that, it is a very good device

Not much improvement

Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very similar to the previous model including functions and sound qualities. $280 will be a good price to get this item. For full price, it's not worth it. Get the XM3 instead for cheaper.

Posted .Hi mich2k,
We appreciate your feedback about the headphones. There have been some great upgrades to the WH1000XM4 from the WH1000XM3.
The WH1000XM4 utilizes DSEE Extreme™️ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) which upscales compressed digital music files in real-time. Dynamically recognizing the instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of each song, such as vocals or interludes, it restores the high-range sound lost in compression for a richer, more complete listening experience.
Also, the WH1000XM4 features smart listening technology to enhance your listening. With this, you can simply start speaking to automatically pause your music in Speak-to-Chat, or enjoy adaptive playback thanks to the proximity sensor and two acceleration sensors that detect whether your headphones are being worn or not.
The WH1000XM4 also allows you to connect to 2 devices simultaneously.
Finally, we also gently adjusted the design of the headphones. We added more cushioning to the headband and ear padding. We also changed the outside dimensions of the headphones slightly so they sit more comfortably over your head.
Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony.
