The best noise-cancelling headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony wireless noise-cancelling headphones, did just that. I had purchased them for my vacation to Europe, and many they cancelled out all the noise around me, on the plane, at the airports and it was great!!! I highly recommend these to anyone who needs some quiet time where it's hard to get quiet time.

Big bang for your buck
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to give these 5 stars, but they don't connect to certain apps reliably (Slack, Zoom, and TikTok frequently have problems). Otherwise the sound is amazing as it the noise cancelling feature. Very comfortable, as well.

Crisp sound, beautiful kids noise cancelling :)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are the best! I cannot believe how crisp the sound is. More importantly, I do NOT hear my kids' drama ;). They cannot I am impressed Sony! They also come with the adapter to plug into the phone or other music device if you are leery about connecting to Bluetooth, as I am. These are hella expensive, j but Best Buy has great sales throughout the year so keep your eyes open for the sale price. Good luck and enjoy these bad boys!!!!

Sony XM4 Purchase Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I switched from an AirPods Gen 1, love it so far. Noise cancellation is great, it is comfy and it sounds good. Both my PC and my phone is connected to it and I simultaneously switched it whenever I use it. I would recommend it.

Sony ruined it
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only issue with these headphone are if I say something, it shuts off. Did not realize that they do this. I have Bose noise cancelling headphones and they do not do that. Only gripe because they are actually good.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear that, aside from that one gripe, you’re finding the WH-1000XM4 to be a great pair of headphones.
What you're experiencing is a feature called Speak-to-Chat. It’s designed to automatically pause your music and let in ambient sound as soon as you start speaking, so you can have a quick conversation without taking your headphones off. We understand it can be unexpected if you prefer to sing along or talk while listening!
The good news is that you can easily turn this off. You can either:
Use the App: Disable "Speak-to-Chat" in the Sony | Headphones Connect app.
Use a Gesture: Place two fingers on the right ear cup touch sensor and hold until you hear "Speak-to-chat deactivated."
We hope this makes your experience much better, thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards,
Gus, Sony Social Media Team

A trump can Interrupt your listening.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Superb headphones that enhance audio quality to amazing levels. Watching a movie in these things is a delight. My one peeve is they are super sensitive to external noise, meaning they will automatically pause and shut off if you so much as cough, sneeze or say hi to your pet. I farted watching Top Gun and it paused the whole movie.
