    With over a couple months of use it is one of the best fitting and amazing audio experiences I’ve had with using them in the gym for hours at a time and with daily activities it does the job.

    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!

    Great sound, easy to set up and use, comfortable. Some functions were too much for me. When I sang along with music, it would stop the music thinking I was in a conversation. I shut that off right away.

    Crazy good sound even now in 2025, it holds up pretty good for any use, although I would say the sound leaks a little more than I’d like.

      Thank you for your review, Estyebra! We're thrilled to hear that you think the WH-1000XM4 headphones have "crazy good sound" and that they still hold up so well in 2025. It's wonderful to know you find them great for any use.

      We appreciate you bringing up your concern about the sound leakage. The WH-1000XM4 headphones are designed with a tight seal to provide optimal noise cancellation and sound isolation. However, if the headphones are not fitting snugly, a small amount of sound can escape. We recommend checking the fit and positioning them to ensure they form a proper seal around your ears.

      Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we will certainly share it with our development team for future product improvements. Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Best regards,
      Gus, Sony Social Media Team. Sony_US

    I bought these headphones to help with working at home. They are great. The first day I was wearing them I didn't even notice piano movers bringing a piano into my house. We have also used them with our smart TV. The microphone is OK for phone call. The dual paired devices is nice if I am listening to music and I get a call via my computer but works best when only 1 device is paired. I would recommend these. They are also very comfortable. I have a small head and they fit just fine.
