Amazingly Amazing Sounding Headphones!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are all they're cracked up to be on the amazing reviews online! Sony has the corner on the market with over the ear headphones in my opinion. I've had some Sony wired MDRV-6 headphones for decades and they're still making them as they're one of the most venerable pair on the market still today, running around 4 Bills to get them. These Sony-WH-1000XM4's are no slouch for Wireless Headphones! I'm truly amazed with the spatiality, accuracy, and noise-cancelling qualities of these headphones. When you add in the Sony 360 Reality recordings it's truly going to take you to a whole different level. Wanna feel like you're in the studio and looking in different directions for each musician... that's what 360 is about. Very much like a live performance. I'm using TIDAL for my online music choice after reading many reviews about different services. I'm TOTALLY happy with their quality as it never fails to amaze me with their sound and they offer the Sony 360 music too! I'm sold on these, and the only headsets that compare are my wired Sony MDRV-6's. I don't like to buy things twice as I like to get what I want the first time, and I'm very happy. You might pay a pretty penny for these, but they're worth every hard earned penny you spend!

Terrific sound with noise cancellation, very comfortable, perfect for music and phone calls. Blows Blue Parrot away. I like them so much I gave my Blue Parrot headset away. Money Well Spent if looking for an excellent set of wireless headphones.

Sony over Bose!!

Some of the best over the ear at headphones
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my daughter for over the year headphones she had an older pair that finally went out. She had them for years. We replaced them with these because she researched all the Sony headphones and these among the best after she got them, she absolutely fell in love with them and uses them constantly

Posted .Hi ErainaJ,
We are thrilled to hear that your daughter is completely in love with her new WH-1000XM4 headphones! It is wonderful to know that her research confirmed these are an outstanding choice and that she is using them constantly. We are also incredibly pleased that her previous Sony pair provided years of excellent service—that speaks directly to the quality and durability we engineer into our products.
Thank you for being a loyal Sony family and for the fantastic five-star review!

Posted .Hi Johnsoncar48,
It is most rewarding to hear that you are absolutely happy with your decision to choose the WH-1000XM4.
This model remains a fan favorite for a reason, specifically due to its incredible balance of performance and versatility. We are glad you’re enjoying the industry-leading noise cancellation powered by our HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1, along with the convenience of the foldable design and the Speak-to-Chat feature. It is a fantastic testament to the enduring quality of this series that it continues to provide such a premium listening experience years after its debut.
Thank you for making Sony part of your daily listening.

Expensive but good headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-1000XM4 is good wireless noise cancelling headphone. I have not used other high end headphones and hence cannot compare. Usage: Primarily for conference calls using computer audio Pros: Battery life Sound quality Pair 2 devices simultaneously Cons: After 6 months of usage, hear some hiss occasionally. Read that this is due to the moisture build up. Need to disconnect and reconnect the bluetooth and run the "Test connection" wizard to verify for webex calls to get the audio going.

Xm3, but 30% better
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really recommend reading xm3 reviews and decide: If you would pay 350 for the xm3 even thought those are cheaper, then totally buy the xm4. Xm4: - More comfortable - Usage detection - Like 5% better ANC - Speak to deactivate ANC - Better microphone - Connect to two bluetooth devices

Amazing headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality and noise cancelling are both excellent, headphones are super light and comfortable, and the multi-device support works perfectly between my phone and my iPad.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat for the price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great headphones for the price. When looking at the XM5 and 6 being several hundred more, the XM4 still holds now. Not being able to connect to multiple devices at once is a bit inconvenient, but it’s easy enough to pair so I’m not too bothered by it.

AMAZING headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I LOVE these headphones. I use them for just about everything. The noice canceling is by FAR the best i have had. I can go walking next to traffic and not hear a single noice. I'vebeen on planes and couldn't even hear the planes taking off. If you need a pair of headphones to block out your kids or your nagging wife, these are for you. Block out the world abs just be with your intrusive thoughts with these headphones. I actively show people these headphones and have talked people to bordem about them. I try and get everyone I show them to to but a pair.
