    After months of research and watching several YT videos ....I can say that the general concensus is that these headphones are among the best of the best ...if not the best on the market. I whole heartedly agree! If you are looking for quality of sound and "bass" ...look no further. The noise cancelling is great! The battery life is insanse ...no regrets at all.

    It's a good pair of headphones, and it's really comfortable. Got a long battery life too. The feature where it pauses the music when you speak is, however, the most annoying thing on the planet. I spend a few hours trying to figure out how to turn it off before just calling support and figuring it out from there. The hands free audio when you're connected to multiple sources on the computer is also kind of annoying as the hands free audio is (compared to the normal audio) complete garbage. I got around this by simply disabling the hands-free audio sound device on my computer and it worked just fine (with 2 or less programs).

      Hi Linda, it's great to hear that the WH-1000XM4 are helping you drown out surrounding noise! Many users report that the active noise cancellation (ANC) works exceptionally well, particularly with lower frequency sounds, creating a more peaceful listening experience.

      Additionally, comfort is frequently noted as a strong point for these headphones, allowing for extended wear without discomfort. If you have any specific scenarios you'd like to discuss regarding usage, or if you're looking for tips on maximizing your experience with the headphones, feel free to ask!

      Thanks again for choosing Sony and for being part of our community!

    Great price and sound quality. My 3rd pair they last easily 1yr- 1 1/2yrs. Unfortunately my last pair stopped charging. Sony offers a good warranty, however I use them daily and couldn’t wait so I bought another pair.

      Hi WiseShopper,

      We are delighted you appreciate the great price and sound quality of the WH-1000XM4, and we truly value you choosing them for your third pair. We are sorry to hear your previous pair had a charging failure. Since you couldn't wait for a warranty claim, for future reference, charging issues can often be resolved by using a lower-wattage charger (like the port on a computer) or performing a soft reset by holding the power button while plugging the cable in. We hope your new pair provides you with many more years of excellent performance! Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards, Eliab Sony_US

    There isn't much I can say that hasn't been already said. This is the mother of all headphones ... for the price, anyway. For a higher budget, you can perhaps find something slightly better but not for the "end of year" 2021 Christmas Season Price which knocked almost $100 off of the MSRP. Noise cancelling is great, comfort is 'all-day', and the sound clarity is pristine - clear highs, clean mids and deep lows - with the ability to customize/EQ the sound to suit your personal taste. Overall, a winner! I would definitely recommend!

    I did a lot of research when looking for some new premium headphones and finally decided on these. So far they work great in the short time I have used them. Some people complained about the bass not being punchy, which I'm not sure why because the sound quality is amazing. I will say the volume doesn't get super loud, which is good and bad. These replaced some Wireless Studio Beats and these are much better quality, both in sound and build. The app has some cool features as well. I'm interested to see how they hold up long term, but so far I love them. (The Midnight Blue color is beautiful)

    Got them when on sale for $100 off before christmas and they have been a dream both for music and gaming. I dont game online or use them for phone calls so i cant say anything about the microphone quality but they put out awesome sound and are comfortable to wear for hours on end. Even though they are wireless, a great feature to have with aux ports disappearing, i use them wired always and get a wider, fuller, louder sound. Just my personal preference though. Solid headphones and even at full price are well worth the price
