XM4
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these as a college student. The noise cancellation works really well so you can focus on your work, and the sound quality is also very nice. The headphones have an ambient mode so you can switch between noise cancellations and normal mode, it does this automatically or you can do it manually.

Good Pair of Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my opinion this is one of if not the best ANC headphones for under 500 USD. I would probably get a skin on them since the matte material can get scratched up but other than that, it is a very good device

Snap cord in, USB mysteries.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works and sounds great even when you don't bother with the app, good only when your Android is new enough. It helps to know you need to press a little firmly to snap the cord plug into the headphone. Also, the computer finds USB hid interfaces, so there is some unadvertised (secret!) USB functionality, not just charging. Finally, the charging didn't seem to work with a plain 2A charger; only with a computer USB port.

Posted .Hi Seth,
We appreciate your 5-star review of the headphones. The WH-1000XM4 is a new design, with intelligent and intuitive Ambient Sound Control features that include improvements to Multipoint connection and our industry-leading Noise Cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and Smart Listening that adjusts to your behavior and location.
It is recommended to use a commercially available USB AC adaptor capable of supplying an output current of 1.5 A or more (If the output current is less than 1.5 A, the charging time will increase, and the music playback time after 10 minutes of charging will decrease.) The full operation with all chargers is not guaranteed.

Great sound quality and isolation
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the XM2s, honestly, think the noise cancelling was better on those, and the bass was a little stronger. However, the mids and highs in these are LIGHTYEARS better than them, and the headphones are stupidly lighter, making them easier to wear. Overall, much better product. Im a snobby drummer, so i know my critique of needing more bass is probably just a me problem lol

I Bought 3, Great for ASD
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought my pair first (I have ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder) and loved them. I bought my partner a pair, then another for a family member with ASD. Excellent noise cancelation and sound quality. I will put them on when riding the subway and not even put sound on; just let it quiet the noisy subway. I wish they were water resistant but the build quality is solid nevertheless.

Great Battery & Music Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones- this is my second pair. Only con is they can slide off my head every once in a while (it is smaller than average though). The battery power is 10/10. Sound quality is amazing. Noise canceling is 9.5/10. Would definitely recommend!

Needing to drown out the sorrow, I decided to buy these headphones. The sound quality is superb, but the noise cancellation is where these headphones really shine.
