Headphone Essentials
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is by far my favorite purchase of 2021. An absolute essential. The sound quality is amazing and so is the noise cancellation. The design and slick and the material is very premium. I do not see any flaws in this product aside from its price. If you can find it on sale for around 250 or less, it is a definite buy!

Clearest headphones I've ever heard.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I've ever owned. I have a pair of Bose QC headphones, and the clarity of sound from the Sony is far better. The noise-cancelling is also better on the Sony. I do find the headphones are bit sensitive to touch for the the controls, but once I get them set right they are phenomenal.

Great build quality/sound, meh touch controls
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal build quality, great sound. The swipe controls on the side of the headphone arent my favorite. I miss physical buttons. In the pursuit of sleek build design, everything has become touch-based but its a big finnicky. Dont have to use them if you dont want to. Overall love these headphones.

Posted .Hi BoydS,
It is fantastic to know that you overall love the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones, especially their phenomenal build quality and great sound!
We certainly appreciate your candid feedback regarding the swipe controls versus physical buttons. We understand that while the touch-based design offers a sleeker profile, it can take some adjustment. We value this insight as we continuously work to balance design with ease of use. Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review and for choosing Sony!

Great ANC but gets HOT
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ANC is great. Sound is good. Bass struggles when it gets really loud. Earcups just sounded muffled. Transparency is ok. I still had to lift up a side to hear the conversation. Touch controls are acceptable. Can be sensitive sometimes. My main issue is that this thing gets HOT on the ears. Definitely buy it on sale if you are dead set on getting it.

Great product
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. They have probably the best noise canceling you’ll ever have. Great speaker quality they are amazing. I’ve had the previous generation and they’re all so just as great. Only thing I kinda don’t like is the sensor other than that it’s amazing I love. It’s also really comfortable.

Definitely worth the wait to upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow! I liked the XM3, it feels and sound good. I’m so glad Sony finally came out with the new XM4 with multi device support. I waited to splurge on this headphone. The sound is still beautifully clear as the XM3. It fits nice and feel really light when wearing for long period of time. Still has best noise-cancelling feature of any headphones out there. Well worth the wait!

Really work for noisy neighbors
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was down to trying these noise canceling headphones (THE BEST) or possibly doing something that would end up in court. Upstairs noise was really getting impossible to live with. As soon as we begin to hear "Henrietta Hippo" begin her baby elephant walk we put on our WH-1000xm4's and cannot hear anything but what comes in from the T.V. or stereo. Peace at last. Use with MEE transmitter/receiver so both my wife and I can enjoy our lives again. Also good when one of us wants to sleep while other listens to or watches something else. WORTH EVERY PENNY and a lot cheaper than moving or hiring a lawyer to work out a plea bargain.

Own two pairs
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones, waited years to buy a set of headphones because of cost and couldn’t find anything I liked. Bought these about a month ago and I have no regrets. Ended up buying my sister a pair as she loved them as much, if not more, than I do. Definitely worth the price you pay for what you get, quality is fantastic, very comfortable to wear, easy to use.

Amazing sound quality. Very comfortable.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been shopping around for a pair of ANC headphones for a while. I’ve used the Bose 700s, Bower and Wilkins PX7, and the WH-1000mx3s. I loved the mx3s but the fit was a bit uncomfortable for longer periods of time. That’s not the case with these new mx4s. The extra cushion feels great and they feel very light. Overall an excellent pair of headphones. Best in its segment!
