Overall, pretty good. Could be better.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like these headphones. I had returned these to get the Bose NC700 headphones. I will be exchanging the Bose 700 for the Sony XM4. The XM4 have excellent base and clear treble. You can really feel the bass which I love. Feels like a rave in my head. The noise canceling is ok. It could be better. I can hear conversation coming from my living room when I’m in my office. Maybe my expectations are to high when it comes to noise canceling. It doesn’t cancel out noise as much as it muffles it.

Posted .Hi Dave,
We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about the noise canceling function is greatly appreciated. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is updated (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). The noise canceling function is effective in low-frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. Check that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned off. Check the setting of the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. When the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on, the noise canceling function may become insufficient.
We hope this improves your experience. The WH-1000XM4 is a new design, with intelligent and intuitive Ambient Sound Control features that include improvements to Multipoint connection and our industry-leading Noise Cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and Smart Listening that adjusts to your behavior and location. Thank you for choosing Sony!

Best headphones ever.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A wireless wonder for sure. Clamp the cushy cans over ears and either solitude or noisy workplace fades and enables getting things done. And that means either thinking, yoga or doing...or all three. Pair once with any bluetooth device and the headphones remember after you've turned them off and not back on for days.

Nice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sounding ear phones. I bought to connect to my TV wirelessly. These lack the two files to keep the sound from lagging. So I purchased a dongle that has them and is also a transmitter that the headphones can connect to. Works awesome once you turn the volume down on the Sony's and up using the tv amplifier.

Crazy good
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the coolest headphones I have ever seen with my own eyes. The noise cancellation is remarkable. I wore them on an airplane with two crying babies and slept the entire flight. It can track your movement and automatically changes the type of noise cancellation tones based on your movement, it is so cool.

One of the best!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation is excellent, the music quality is good, the fit is okayish because for some reason after a month of use it kinda got a little loose on my head. It would occasionally fall out of place especially if I am doing circuit training that involves heavy movement. FYI Those who are on a budget and looking for a quality and excellent headset the xm3 can still go toe to toe with this xm4, minus some of the features the xm3 can basically do everything what an xm4 can do when it comes to providing sound quality

Glad I purchased
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound great and seal the sound from the outside great. Use them when mowing on my rider and can't here the tractor when music is playing. Love the pause feature by touching the outside of the ear muf. Love the carrying case which worked great on the plane. Didn't like the feel of the ear bud and so glad I purchased these as an alternative.

How can this get any better for the money?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A Christmas gift buy for my son. After a little coaxing he finally let me try them. I’ve been involved in a lot of sound system set ups and tuning over the past 30+ years and these things are amazing! These headphones are the closest thing to complete theater sound attached to your head I’ve ever seen. The frequency range is awesome !!!

I have tried a lot of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality on these are amazing . I love the feature of being able to cup the ear and hear what's going on especially at airports. I love the fact that when you take them off your ears it pauses whatever you're listening to are watching. The only thing that I didn't like about these that I didn't realize at first is when I turn the volume up to listen to something my wife could hear it clearly sitting on the other end of the couch. For me that part defeats the purpose especially when we fly.
