Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are excellent overall. The noise canceling is top-tier and works extremely well in noisy environments like cars, planes, or public spaces. Sound quality is rich and clear, with strong bass that can be adjusted in the app. They’re also very comfortable for long listening sessions. On the downside, the touch controls can be a bit too sensitive at times, and switching between devices isn’t always perfectly smooth. They’re also on the expensive side, though the performance mostly justifies the price. Overall, the XM4s are a great choice if you want premium noise canceling, comfort, and sound quality

40mm drivers still here, unlike on the XM5s (30mm)
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'll keep this simple. Sony shrunk the drivers on the new XM5s to 30mm. These XM4s are 40mm and if you prefer punchier and fuller bass I'd stick to the XM4s. Battery life, comfort and sound are amazing here. I don't see much reason to "upgrade" to the new XM5s? ANC performance is stellar. You can find third party ear cups too. That's a major contributing factor for me when buying premium headphones. If I can easily replace the ear cups. XM5s are not worth the upgrade. These XM4s are still an amazing value, especially when they go on sale.

If only it could cancel airplane engine noise!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Okay here is the real deal. It's an excellent set for around the house, making phone calls it's comfortable as can be but when it's tested against the Bose 700 on a real airplane it's not the device you're going to want for air travel! But I actually prefer it around the house because it's so darn comfortable! I walked into return it but I realized I really like it for home phone calls and just walking around the house using it with the phone, tv, computer. Sound quality is excellent I can see why there's so much hype about it. Noise cancellation for walk around the block and to function around the house is perfect! And it's actually really great in traffic. Where it's not great is on an airplane. That's it I'm going to give it five stars with the caveat that noise cancellation on an airplane could be much much better! It's actually superb for phone conversations picks up right away and everyone says it's super clear and the reception is super clear. So, yes, five stars because if you're not flying it's definitely five stars.

GREAT noise cancellation in loud environments
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are worth it! I started off with the regular AirPods, then got the AirPods Pro. The AirPods Pro have a good noise cancelling for everyday use but these Sony’s are impressive! The noise cancellation is the best I have ever used. I have an auto detailing business and always use them when I am working. They do a really good job at noise cancellation, my gas pressure washer, vacuum etc are very loud. These headphones do wonders when it comes canceling all that noise. If these can handle my loud working environment I’m sure it they can handle whatever type of environment you are in. I have seen the decibels get up to 100 according to my Apple Watch and these headphones make the noise very tolerable. I can still hear my machines working but at maybe 20% of the actual noise they make. The battery life is great! I got these on sale for 279. I have seen that sale happen often. They are worth the price! The Sony app is also easy to use and you can have these headphones paired with 2 devices. The controls on the side of headphones are easy to use and took me a bit to get used to since its a swipe motion instead of a clicks (airpods).

Noise cancelling is some of the best and the app offers tons of customization options.

perfection
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Turned in perfect conditions. Love the color not too bright but not too dark. Amazing sound quality. As someone who likes to still be aware of her surroundings at times, the ambience sound does an amazing job and so does the noise canceling. One of the best noise canceling headphones I had ever used, it covers my ears completely, not allowing any other sound to interfere. They are perfect.

Worth it but there are even options around!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound so good. Honestly the momentum 4’s have just a little bit more bass but these ones sound clearer on every aspect. For sale around black friday I got them for around $229 I believe which is a STEAL. I would invest in these honestly unless you have the money to get the XM5’s. Another cool thing about these is that they fold unlike the XM5’s. If you want a good pair of headphones I would go with these. You won’t be disappointed with the sound and bass. Also for more bass make sure you customize the equalizer on the app.

Great product for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Quality Headphone that are versatile and comfortable. I use these headphones for when I play my PS5 because it comes with a aux cord. Not a lot of high quality headphones still have aux ports on their products, and I love that Sony still does. The sony app also does a good job of helping you EQ your sound, which beats JBL's app in terms of quality and function. I would suggest spending the money to get these headphones because they will last a long time. Sony makes great listening products.
