Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best quality sound I've heard from a headphone set, easy to use, noise canceling works great, it's comfortable to your ear and battery last for hours I would recommend it to everyone.

After a lot of research, I decided to buy these Sony's. They are probably the best headset I've ever had and I couldn't be happier! The sound is amazing and they are super comfortable. I wear them while I'm working at my desk as well as my nightly jogs, and they're perfect. Also, they're super easy to clean and fold back up into their carrying case for storing or traveling. I am so happy with this purchase!

it’s really good! The sound quality is great and the battery lasts really long

Incredible noise cancelling abilities, very comfortable on my ears and flexible, comes with a case, USB-C charging cable and has great base. Not perfect but great.

The absolute best sounding headphones I’ve owned. Super comfy when one.

I've purchased these headphones twice now. The first set lasted a couple of years' worth of heavy use. I love that I can pair it with two devices. The noise cancelling is decent. It recharges VERY quickly in only 10-15 minutes. The app on the android (my phone) is a better than the one for apple devices (my iPod). The second pair tends to have a few minor issues, but I am still happy with them in comparison to if I went with the next model. I had also looked at a few other companies, but found this set was still the best value for your money (on sale) and functionality.

I have been using the Sony-WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones in Midnight Blue for 3 months now. I bought these originally to help with flying anxiety and they served that purpose well but I didn't expect how much I would use them beyond that. I now use them in conjunction with my earpods for mobile listening, swapping between the two depending on the situation. Overall These headphones are amazing. I am very happy with the sound quality. Soundwise gives me everything I want and you can adjust things like the bass in the sony headphones app. The app works well enough and allows you to set the devices your headphones connect to (can have 2 connected simultaneously). The noise canceling performs best on constant sounds (which I think is where all noise canceling functions best). Additionally the sound pass through feature I have found to work as promised. The physical feel and interface is great as well and I love that is has the functions that work with my iphone/ipad such as double tapping the right headphone to pause/play. The headphones fold up nicely into a carrying case that is protective and works great for me carrying these in a backpack.

I've been planning to buy a pair of Sony 1000X headphones since the original MDR-1000X came out, and I finally pulled the trigger and picked up a pair of 1000X-M4s on Black Friday. I knew they were good headphones—I've always known they're great headphones—but they STILL exceeded my expectations. They're comfortable. They have excellent noise cancellation. And the audio quality, especially on the high end (vocals, snares) are HANDS DOWN the best I've ever heard. I genuinely couldn't believe how crisp and smooth the audio is. They're feature rich, especially with the companion app. I'm not the biggest fan of the touch controls, but that also might just be something I need to adjust to. Seriously, buy these headphones. You will not regret it.

Just what I was needing. Seamless connectivity, corded option, and over ear comfort I cannot find anywhere else.

Seriously, way better than expected. I trialed the AirPods Pro, returned them after a long flight, and the XM5, also returned them. The xm4s are the whole package. -Great compact, semi hard, case because the headphones fold. -Excellent Bluetooth connectivity in my experience (iPhone/Mac) user. -Excellent sound that is tunable through the app. (Missing on apple) -light weight. -noise pass through is the one minor thing that almost as good as apple. I don’t use it much, so I don’t care. The noise cancellation is just as good, if not better than the AirPods Max and xm5s. The xm5s can be buggy in my experience. From a pros/cons side of things the XM4, beat the xm5s, Bose, and AirPod max’s by a lot. Even if they were all priced the same, I’d still chose the xm4 it’s a bonus that you can find them cheaper than their rivals. Way to go Sony! Don’t get rid of this model.

Comfortable, sturdy and great sound quality. The swipe features are pretty cool also. they get a little hot though when you have them on for long periods so i used them through the hood of my sweater when i was on a flight last week. Even with that I would still recommend.

Having to share an office while working at home has been a real struggle. We both are in different zoom meetings all day and it was very hard to focus on my own meetings with all the talking behind me. I splurged on these and it was instantly like entering a personal soundspace. I can even have meetings while the gardener is working outside. It’s not that you can’t hear any ambient noise, it just sound muffled and far away. There’s a great feature that you can pair with two devices at the same time. It makes it easy to quickly switch back and forth between work meetings and other media. The sound quality is fantastic too. The best sound quality of any headphones I’ve ever owned. Also, my coworkers say my voice is clear in meetings and with noticeably better sound quality than my other headphones. They are comfortable, but I wear glasses and like all headphones can get uncomfortable after several hours of wearing them with glasses. The battery life is very good too. I’ve never run out of power even after a long day of meetings. They seem to charge fairly quickly too.

These have been my primary headphones for almost a year now. Battery life, noise cancellation, and sound quality are all great, and they are extremely comfortable. I wear them while I am working often and they only start to bother my ears after wearing them for about 6 hours. I bought them on sale but I wouldn't be upset if I had paid full price.

The Good: I bought the Sony XM4 headphones as an upgrade to replace my Skullcandy Crusher Wireless headphones. The Crushers are solid, long battery life, and sound really nice, but in terms of audio quality, there is a noticeable improvement in these Sony headphones. The clarity of individual notes or beats (I've noticed drum beats/cymbals and electric bass guitars in particular) is excellent in the XM4. If you like metal or orchestral music in particular, these are great for helping you hear all of the instruments and their effects. Where the XM4's are really impressive, and are marketed as such, is the noise cancellation. When using the active noise cancellation (ANC), all I hear is what's playing in the speakers, a person two feet from me speaking right to me is inaudible; it's great for really focusing on what you want to hear. Also, the impact on battery usage is not bad at all (you really do get about 30 hours per charge with ANC on, the Crushers got 40 hours per charge but have no ANC). Something new to me with the XM4 is the ability to connect to 2 devices at once with Bluetooth, so they connect to my phone and my computer and are smart enough to know which one should be the priority at any given time. This is pretty handy since you really cannot hear anything else nearby with the ANC on. The Bad: Now if they're as great as I've said above (and they are), why 4 stars instead of 5? Well, the XM4 in my hands seems to have issues with skipping when connected only to my computer if I am playing streaming audio rather than something off the hard drive. Yes, I have switched the priority to 'stable connection' and that doesn't do it. The XM4 only really works as intended (for me at least) when I put the Sony app on the phone and have the phone on and within range of the XM4 even if the only audio I'm using is on the computer (and the app cannot be installed on a computer). At that point, there are no skips and everything is beautiful. I don't think you should have to be stuck with the phone as an intermediary; the headphones should perform properly without the app and with only the computer, but maybe it's just me. My Crushers have never had that kind of problem, I don't feel that the XM4's should either. The Bottomline: All things said, the XM4's are excellent headphones that once you have them set up you will probably be very happy with them, especially if you are upgrading over your current headphones.

This is the best headphone I have ever tried on. I had used Bose, Studio Headset, and many more, but this one is super comfortable, has best noise cancelling feature, best sound quality. Likewise, you can connect to two devices (what more do you want :)). And of course, it has the long lasting battery. . So, this headphone truly deserves 5 star !!! If you have enough budget, go for it.

Best headphones I’ve ever owned. Comfy for all day wear, lightweight, sounds amazing. No complaints .

I have been a sennheiser fan for a very long time and have owned each momentum model (wired and wireless) and have tried many other brands of wireless and found few that match sennheiser. This review is about Sony, so I decided to try something different and ordered the XM4. They are great noise cancelling headphones, great features, very comfy and nice looking. I fired them up and was surprised at the lack of clarity, crispness and sound stage. I tried to eq them and they sounded a little better. So they impress me as great noise cancelling headphones that can sound OK and have solid build and great features. There are a safe bet if you fly a lot and need maximum ANC, but the Bose 700 offer equal ANC and sound much cleaner with nice bass. There is something magical about the sennheiser sound that makes you want to listen to music when you should be doing something else or asleep. I am an old guy but like good rap and the bass on the m3 is perfect, rock the same, the richness of the sound and the majestic sound stage are just a cut above any other ANC headphone I've listened too and I've tried them all. The Sony m4 is a excellent noise cancelling headphone with great features and comfortable fit for a fair price, but if you really like music, give the momentum 3 a spin, you won't be sorry because they will take you a happy place that will make you a more content person, I promise.

Sound Quality and Bass are balanced well - these are comfortable to wear for about 4 hours, It is slightly on the larger side since it's overeat and thus not great for running around or exorcising in. Best for relaxing or editing with.

Great headphones. Got them on a huge sale so that makes them even better. Very comfortable, handy carrying case, Bluetooth works flawlessly to all my devices so far. Very happy with my purchase.

I went back and forth numerous times when I was deciding to buy these or not. $350 for headphones is a lot for me, I'm a budget kind of guy (some would call me cheap). I do love music and my wife was encouraging me to splurge on myself, so I kept coming back. Then I couldn't decide between these, the Bose Quiet Comfort 35s the Bose 700s and the Microsoft Surface Headphones. After reading a ton of reviews it came down to the newest Microsoft Surface Headphones and these. I chose these because the build quality seemed higher and there were significant complaints about the band breaking on the Microsoft set. After having these for a couple of weeks, I am extremely happy with my choice. They are by far the best sounding headphones I have ever heard. They are also very comfortable on my head and they stay comfortable for hours. The active noise canceling works very well and the "touch the right ear with your hand" feature to hear ambient sound is awesome. I have enjoyed many genres of music with these and found they replicate the music very well all ranges sound awesome. Even though I was leery to spend $350 on 'phones. After having done so I would do it again without hesitation. These things rock!
