Love it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable and I cannot hear my family with the noise canceling feature even when the volume isn't that high up. The battery life is excellent as well. When the headphones die, it takes around 5-10 minutes for it to charge all the way up and it lasts a long time.

Great sound. Great Features. Great Price
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven’t traveled at all since buying these, but I have had the experience of using them at home while my wife and I were both on phone calls. The noise canceling is as good as my old Bose headphones (which my wife uses now), and the sound is spectacular, both on calls and for listening to music or watching streaming movies. They are quite comfortable and can be worn for hours without issues. I look forward to traveling again when I can really get the best out of these headphones.

Nice noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise canceling is the best!!! Any design or color is fine. Unlike AirPods, it does not hurt your ears even if you use it for a long time. Also, the price is reasonable, I think. The battery lasts longer than expected. It can connect to devices and uses MacBooks and iPhones with it. Switching to Bluetooth between devices works better than expected.

XM4 better than the XM5
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, Great feel. XM4 , in my opinion, better product than the XM5 and i see no noticeable sound difference for the non audiophile , Bought on sale so way cheaper than comparable competitor and worth waiting for them to be on sale.

Worth Every Penny
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What's there to say that hasn't already been said, its the build, its the sound quality, its the look, the battery life, etc. These are pretty much the go-to as far as Over-the-Ear headphones are concerned and for good reason. They recently released the XM5s which apparently have slightly better noise-cancelling and quality but honestly for the price(especially during a sale) you can't go wrong with these!

Decent headphones but…
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent headphones, good bass and ANC but coming from an airpods user or someone im the apple ecosystem, was a huge downgrade. Not to mention the inability to change settings of the headphones on a mac (main reason why i got it).

Posted .Hello, Ahmad.
Thanks for the comment; it is really important for us to know the overall experience of all customers, as Sony is always looking forward to improve. We understand the Sony | Sound Connect app is not available on Mac devices, but it can be found on your iPhone on the App Store. Nevertheless, we are glad you are enjoying the ANC, as the WH1000XM4 is known for its outstanding noise-canceling capabilities, which effectively reduce ambient sounds, and its capability to deliver deep and powerful bass, which can be further enhanced using the Bass Boost feature in the Equalizer settings. Thanks for choosing Sony!

Would buy again in a heart beat.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easily the best pair of headphones I have ever owned. I tried multiple top tier brands and this was by far the most comfortable over the ear. The sound quality is clear, which I found was not the case in some of the other brands. The noise canceling is way above my expectations, it cuts out everything with the exception of really loud noises close to you. There are alot of features that i could go on about. They are pricey but definitely worth the cost if the cost alone is not the deciding factor.

Great pair of headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have one of sonys first Generation over the ear headphones and hate them. They are heavy ugly and pinch my head. I could tell right away when I picked these up for the first time they would not be any of the things I hated about my last pair. They are light, good looking and don't hurt to wear for hours. Noise canceling is best ive ever had and the sound quality is great. I usually dont think anything that costs this much is worth the money but I didnt regret spending a cent on these love em

Posted .Hi Echofan,
We are so glad the WH-1000XM4s have become your go-to travel companion for those international flights! To get even better results in the air, don't forget to use the "Atmospheric Pressure Optimizing" feature in the Sony Headphones Connect app, which adjusts the noise canceling specifically for high-altitude cabin pressure.
