A nice upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Haven’t had a pair of headphones for 3-4 years. After my last pair of Sony headphones broke & played out I just stuck with in-ears. But I really did miss them so I purchased these at a nice sale. The sound is great and the noise canceling does what I need it to. The volume is great as well. Even on low I still can’t hear much unless it’s something really loud in the background. The only thing I’d suggest is immediately changing the settings on the app for the noise canceling. Out the box, the feature that turns noise canceling off and lowers the volume when ppl approach you to talk or whatever is super sensitive. Thought I got a defective pair since the sound kept cutting out every time I breathed, blinked, or thought about breathing or blinking lol.

Posted .Hi JaimeR,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM4. We're glad that you like the sound quality and comfort of the headphones. Your feedback about the design is greatly appreciated. While the WH1000XM4 headphones don’t have an IPX rating, simple workout routines like walking shouldn’t be of concern. If you sweat a lot or for more serious workouts, you may want to consider the WF-C500, WF-1000XM4, or WF-1000XM5.

Wow!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality. Sleek design. Noise cancelling is exceptional. Sometimes I wish there were buttons on the back of the ear instead of touch response on the headphone itself but overall very happy with purchase.

Love em.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love them. They are the best sound you can get for headphones that have all of the mobile friendly features that these have (Bluetooth, noise cancel, airplane adapter, mobile app with eq adjustments, multi device connections, nice travel case, wired & wireless). If you strictly want the best audiophile headphones you won’t find all of these features. With these features though, these are the best sound quality cans you can get. Maybe not out of the box, but with eq adjustments you can fine tune in the mobile app. You will NOT be disappointed by these. - budget audiophile hobbyist who uses these for best sound quality while on the go.

Great!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was debating between these and Apple AirPods Pro 2, and Bose QuietComfort. I’m glad I went with over the ear headphones and chose Sony. The sleek finish and the headset touch pad on the right ear is so handy. Sound quality is great and noise cancelling is far better than Apple AirPod Pro 1.

Excellent Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My only other set of noise cancelling headphones were the airpods pros and these are significantly better. It is somewhat eery how silent it is when they are turned on and on sound is playing. Good battery life and easy to switch between two devices.

Awesome! If it’s not broken don’t fix it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 2 pairs for my wife and I. I had the previous generation 1000xm3 and I loved them, when I heard that the 1000xm4 was coming out I sold the xm3. I they look more are less the same except a few additions like the on ear sensor that’s inside the left ear cup. The cushion on the top of the headphone is smaller. They also took away the ambient noise control button. Out of the box they sound just as good if not slightly better than the xm3. I love the new features they added like, connecting to two devices at the same time, when you talk the headphones let’s ambient noise, and when you take them off it pauses what ever you’re listening too all in all a great product! I’m more than satisfied.

Great sound, not so great noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old, wired QuietComforts had finally come to a time they needed replacing, and I knew I wanted to get a high quality pair of wireless headphones. Sound quality is big for me, and equally important is the noise cancellation since I work in an open office and spend a fair amount of time on flights. While these Sony headphones definitely deliver on sound quality (the app is cool, if not kind of quirky, too), the noise cancellation is not as good as my old QCs. Also, switching Bluetooth between devices is unnecessarily difficult, requiring you to restart the headphones. I don't regret the purchase, but if i could do it again, i think I'd splurge for the XM5s or the QC 700s.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Before I decided on these, I picked up Bose NC700, and I prefer these over the Bose. I find them more comfortable than the Bose, and they sure sound better to my ears. Highly recommended, especially if you find them at a discount.

Amazing Sound Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am no longer able to use in ear headphones so I needed over ear.
