Great compared to what's on the market now
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My experience was primarily with the original MDR-1000X model before I decided to get another set and ended up waiting for these to launch before pulling the trigger. They're surprisingly different, with the newer (M4) model including app support for equalization and adjusting levels of ambient sound control. I'm not sure I like it compared to the simplicity of the original 1000X model. The noise cancelling is unquestionably better on the M4s model (with a noticeably lower noise floor and better overall cancellation across more frequencies), and both sound great via Bluetooth from LDAC sources but for some reason the line-in on the M4 sounds overly processed which hurts one of my main use cases. I use a Hiby R3 Pro music player and would use the wired output for my 1000X headphones but the wired in on the M4s sounds so processed that I'd rather use Bluetooth for them. Perhaps there's some EQ setting I can tweak in the app to fix that but so far I haven't found it.

Posted .Hi Cableguy, we're glad that waiting for this model was worth it. Good to know that you like the Noise Canceling function of the headphones. To get the most out of your WH-1000XM4, download the Sony | Headphones Connect App. It includes Adaptive Sound Control—which automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your activity and an equalizer—which can be customized to fine-tune your music. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Ralph

Great headphones, stellar noise cancellation.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sound great and the sound-cancelling is incredible. I forgot to bring these on a flight and definitely missed them. They are also great for an office environment, if you need to focus and get work done. The microphones are okay for the type of device, but certainly don't replace a headset with a proper microphone arm.

Great Headphones! some bugs
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones sound great, comfort has improved, software and features are great. One of the best noise canceling features around. bugs I'm still experiencing are multi device does not prioritize my phone over my laptop, also sound would sometimes randomly pause which is more software.

A worthy successor to the WH-1000XM3
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from the previous generation of these noise cancelling headphones (which I still use), these headphones are an excellent successor with good quality of life improvements even though it may not seem like it at first glance. I primarily purchased this due to the improvements to the camera and the addition of wear detection. Conferencing with these headphones is excellent and far clearer than the WH-1000XM3. Battery life is great! Lasts me through an entire day of constant use consisting of listening to music and conferencing.

Great headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality. The noise cancellation is insane and actually takes some getting use to lol. Huge upgrade from my old headphones. My only negative is they run pretty big. I have a pretty big head and these almost fall off me, especially when I'm working out and that's the main time I use them. Otherwise I love them.

Sony XM4 Headphones- Great Quality
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've never owned noise-cancelling headphones before, but I researched various Sony and Bose headphones prior to making a purchase. The Sony XM4 headphones simply have the best noise-cancellation on the market. It's a great pair of headphones for students who easily get distracted by noisy environments. My only complaint is that Sony needs to improve on it's pairing of multiple devices with the headphones. When I am connected to my phone and laptop simultaneously, there is an occasional dinging noise. I still have no idea why, but if you disconnect from your phone, the dinging will stop.

Posted .Hi Lauren,
We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are hearing a noise when using the multipoint function. This isn't normally the case with these headphones. Make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve the issue:
