||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have become my emotional support headphones. I use them at work to block out sounds to help me focus. They work amazing on planes and for daily use. When it's time to buy another pair I'm going for this model because they're better than the nee ones in my opinion.

Great pair of ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got Apple AirPod Max last Xmas, but wanted to give these a try at $100 off and wasn’t disappointed. Much lighter/confortable to wear and like the ability to tailor the EQ to my preference. My only to knocks are connecting to 2 devices is a bit clunky (had issues of it constantly connecting/disconnecting to 2nd device while listening to my primary device which was annoying) and the APM seem to me have a better transparency/ambient mode.

Good, not Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not an Audiophile, but I Love music, especially when I can hear and distinguish each instrument. I really like when I can hear the drumsticks taping the symbols. These headphones sound really good, but to my ears, they don't let me hear individual instruments so well. I returned them and are still searching. Wish I still had my old Radio Shack Realistic headphones from the 70's.

Posted .Hi Pminter,
Thank you for the feedback. We're sorry to hear the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones didn't meet your preference for hearing individual instruments. It sounds like you have a great ear for detail, a quality that's often best served by headphones with a more neutral sound profile. If you're still looking for that detailed sound, we invite you to check out our latest model, the Sony WH-1000XM6. They feature a new driver unit and audio processor specifically designed to deliver a clearer, more precise soundstage, making it easier to distinguish each instrument and hear the subtle details you're after.
Thank you for considering Sony products!
Best regards,
Dominick

Highly Recommended
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice headphones. I ended up buying 2 pair with 1 a gift. The headphones sound very balanced, musical and are very versatile making it easy to listen to various sources. The noise cancelling works well as does the microphone. The songs encoded with the 360 Reality Audio add another dimension to listening. The programmability of these headphones is unbelievable and quite useful. These headphones deserve a front seat with my other equipment and deliver on all fronts.

Excellent Sound, but so so BT
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is awesome. Then why only 3 star? Bluetooth connectivity is not stable - if you walk around it disconnects and even if you sit, it disconnects from Samsung TV and your show sound becomes distorted. From sound quality point of view, it is much better than Bose QC45 and Sony XM3. But if we consider Bluetooth connectivity, it is not as good as QC45.

The music sounds so incredibly clear and I like that I’m able to custom the listen quality to my liking. My only issue with these is they take a while to connect to my phone but I believe that’ll stop over time since they’re still pretty new.

Best headphones I've ever owned!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these to use in my office in the middle of a machine shop. They work better than my previous headphones from another leading noise canceling provider and add useful features for me like the headphones cutting off when I talk or cover the right ear piece with my palm. The app controls work fine, I've only been in the app a few times after setting up. Highly recommend to anyone in need of good noise canceling with premium sound.
