Best ANC Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried the XM3s and loved them but ended up returning them because they couldn't connect to my laptop and my phone at the same time. The XM4s fixed that. Comfortable, best audio, easy to use. Slightly disappointed with the microsoft teams and zoom quality as it doesn't use the stereo codec but that could also be my fault.

Pricey, but so worth it
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Listen, if you are considering purchasing anything in this range, just do it. Blows away Beats.. I had the XM3's but returned them after trying the XM4. Better fit, microphones, and ability to connect to (2) bluetooth devices simultaneously. I use them for my iphone & Mac simultaneously, meaning i can easily switch back & forth. HTH

Great for Gym
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones for the gym and everyday use. I sweat a lot and still they don’t seem to slip off or anything. My only drawback is for my set they only charge when I have them charging through my laptop rather than a wall outlet.

Posted .Hello SebastianM,
Thank you for your purchase and for your feedback. We're glad that you enjoyed using our XM4 headphone for your gym and everyday activities. When it comes to charging the headphone, you can also charge the headset to an AC outlet. Just purchase a commercially available USB AC adaptor to use with the supplied USB Type-C cable.

Great wireless headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. Great audio quality using my LG V35 as the source with LDAP Bluetooth. Noise canceling seemed OK but the real test will be when I fly with them next month. Haven't tried ising the wired connection yet. Only complaint that I am sure I can fix by tweaking the software is that the headphones are too sensitive and pause playing whenever you make a sound, even clearing your throat. I realize this is a feature to pause playing when you start a conversation but it is just too sensitive.

Decent but not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Given that I bought these on sale and feel that they were still overpriced for what I got? These are massively overpriced. Semi-decent noise control, but not very effective. The noise cancelling is unequal between the right and left side, which makes it feel like one of my ears is plugged up somehow. The app is useful only in that I could tell it to stop switching to ambient sound every time I stood up- that was obnoxious. So, okay but far too pricey at full price for what I received. Skullcandy was far better imo

Posted .Hi emgo2,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback about your WH-1000XM4 headphones. We're truly sorry to hear that they haven't lived up to your expectations. We can certainly understand your frustration.
We take customer feedback seriously and what you've described, particularly the imbalance in noise canceling between the right and left earcups, is something we'd like to help you with. That definitely isn't the experience we want for our customers.
A good first step to address that uneven noise canceling is to try the "NC Optimizer" function in the Sony | Sound Connect app. It's designed to optimize the noise canceling based on your head shape, hairstyle and even whether you're wearing glasses. Just put the headphones on, open the app, and look for the 'NC Optimizer' option. It should only take a minute or two to run.
If that doesn't solve it, sometimes a quick reset can help with these kinds of issues. To reset your WH-1000XM4 headphones, please follow the instructions on this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752743.html
If you've tried both of those steps and you're still experiencing the issue, please contact our support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
We appreciate you giving Sony a chance with this product.
Sincerely,
Estefany
Excellent headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been the best purchase decision I have made in a while. The noise cancelling on these exceeded my expectations. Controls are easy and convenient even though it was a little confusing for me getting used to it. My only complaint is that the noise canceling doesn't work while it's charging.

Sturdy, great sound
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sturdy, great noise cancelling headphones my son uses for the gym. The earbuds fall out of his ear while working out and he has lost a couple. This ones do not fall and are very sturdy with great sound.

Posted .Hi Nick, Awesome! We are glad to hear you like the excellent noise canceling feature on your WH-1000XM4 headphones. These headphones have great cushioning and adjustability. This will help the headphones stay on your head while working out. These will work great for you while working out “Non-Hardcore”. That being said, these headphones are not specifically designed for sports activities and it doesn't have an IPX rating since it's not waterproof. I recommend you practice caution when using the unit while you are sweaty or when working out with these headphones so they don’t fall or become damaged during your exercise.

Not regretting passing on the XM5’s

The noise canceling drowned out not only the plane but also the crying baby. Work so well didn’t realize it was going on for over an hour. Sound quality is great and it’s compact packaging makes me not regret wait for the XM5’s.

Best in class
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for someone else who’s not as tech savvy, but she loves the headphones. They are built to last, and (while I have not listened to them) she says have great audio quality. The noise cancellation works exceptionally well, and automatically turns off when she and I have a conversation. Well done, Sony!

Best in the industry!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these headphones because as a student, it's important to me to have some quiet when I need to study. I put these on with some white noise, and I don't hear a thing around me. With no music or sound on, of course you'll still hear some things but overall, best noise cancelling headphones I've ever used.
