Favorite Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first pair of headphones and I love them so much! The noise canceling feature is super nice to have especially whenever I'm in a noisy environment and I'm able to hear more of the bass out of my songs than I've ever heard before. I use these almost daily and I can't get enough of these headphones!

Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very great sound quality. First nice pair of headphones I've owned, so i can't compare, but the noise canceling works really well. Sometimes the sides of my head hurt if i wear them and my glasses all day.

Great purchase, quality noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality headphones, these have better bluetooth range than the Bose QC 35ii, which is why I got them. The sound quality is on par with Bose headphones, although the 2 headphones have different sound profiles. If the noise cancellation gives you headaches, try returning them for a different piece, as I had a similar issue with the one I first purchased.

Well worth the money!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best sounding bluetooth headphones I have heard. The noise cancelling easily handles busy traffic or loud noise. The bluetooth hissing found on all bluetooth headphones is minimal. Nothing will ever beat wired headphones, but these manage to matchup incredibly well.

Great quality, pay-to-use functions

Downside deals with the DLC stuff through the app, would be nice if it just came with the expense of the headphones.

Best NC headphones I have tried!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had these for a week and I've been using them everyday. Perfect for gaming on a laptop which produce a lot of fan noise. I have enjoyed playing with all the ease of use features and they respond VERY fast to touch. Only gripe I have, they get pretty warm. They are noise cancelling so can't expect that not to be a thing. Know what you are buying and you will enjoy these.

Simply the BEST!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re undecided, don’t think about it buy these. On sale they’re so worth it. I’d say watch the video on YouTube but you need the headphones to really hear what they’re capable of! I’m hearing parts of the song I’ve never heard before. The 360 degree feature is other worldly. The BEST noise reduction I’ve ever heard. Sorry Bose yours are inferior!

Great for Home or Mobile Use

Posted .Thank you for your fantastic review, toastmalone!
We are thrilled to hear that you consider the WH-1000XM4 the best pair of headphones you’ve ever owned! That is high praise, and we are so pleased they are delivering a superb listening experience.
We also appreciate your insightful feedback on studio quality. You are absolutely correct—for the flat, uncolored frequency response required for professional sound engineering, a dedicated wired monitor headphone is always the best choice.
Thank you again for choosing Sony!
