MX4 review
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product overall, noise canceling is on point, and perfect for use at the gym, studying, quiet time, jamming music, and even having on while trying to listen to outside noise using ambient mode. The color was even better in person, and the packaging was great. Can't wait to see the XM6

Great pair of headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this pair of headphones! I've been eyeing it since last year and finally decided to purchase a month ago since it was on sale. It's my first pair of noise-cancelling headphones, and I was definitely impressed by this feature. Sound quality is great, and I find it's pretty user friendly. As someone who wears glasses, I found it was comfortable to wear and didn't make my glasses dig into my head, which a previous headset of mine did. Can't wait to continue using it!

Recommend to everyone
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this as a gift for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it. She's been raving about the noise cancelling, especially when I'm playing games with my friends because I'm quite literally screaming. She uses it to dance and workout too and they fit perfectly and don't fall out even when she's moving around a lot. Looked up reviews comparing this model to the XM5 and didn't see much of a difference. She just liked the design of the XM4 more

Perfect for people with sensory issues!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1,000/10!!! I would 100% recommend. I was between this and the AirPod Pros, and I love these. They’re so comfortable and they’re more affordable. I’ve had them for almost 2 years now, and I still love them so much. Their battery life and sound quality is still good, but my favorite is the noise cancellation and the comfort. It fits around my ears instead of on them, and the ear pieces are so plush and comfortable. As someone who has sensory issues, these are perfect. I got them for grad school and continue to use them often.

Very comfortable & excellent noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable headphones with excellent noise cancellation. Very good sound quality. The only issue I faced is with connecting iPhone and Macbook at the same time. When connected to 2 devices and I pay and stop audio from Macbook and later try to play from iPhone, it doesn't play. I need to disconnect Macbook in order for audio from iPhone to play.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent bass and quality of sound, has all the essentials. The only nitpick I have would be the volume is not the highest I’ve heard, but with the noise canceling that might be negligible.

Rocking with comfort.

Buy it on sale if you can
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very pricey but the quality shows. I got mine when it was over 100 dollars off so that's probably the only time it's worth it. No complaints with any aspect of the sound quality though. Touch controls are annoying though. Still an overall much better deal than the Airpods Max, especially when these are on sale.

Boose headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The main reason I bought it is obviously for the gym. I wanted something to be loud and clear and motivating when I’m on the treadmill, but I noticed it’s not that loud so I kinda don’t like that part of it other than that I like it’s a nice color it’s lightweight.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, KarlaV.
We are so pleased to hear that your WH-1000XM4 headphones are lightweight and that you enjoy the color. We designed them to be comfortable for active use, and it's great to know they are working well for you in that regard.
We also understand your comments about the volume. We apologize that the headphones are not as loud as you'd like, especially when you need that extra boost for your workouts. This is certainly not the motivating experience we aim to deliver. If you haven't already, we recommend checking your device's volume settings, as well as the Sony Headphones Connect app, to ensure the volume is turned all the way up.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback.

Great Gift
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are a great gift for someone who works out. My wife has worn them to run, to chill in the steam room, and in the rain. They come with a nice case, and they fold flat, which makes them easy to store. The battery life and noise cancellation are also great, and there’s hardly any noise coming out when you’re wearing them, even with the music at full blast.

Posted .Thank you for the fantastic review, Michelle!
We’re so glad to hear the WH-1000XM4 made such a great gift for your wife! It’s wonderful that she’s enjoying the battery life and noise cancellation, though we do want to mention that this specific model isn't rated for water or moisture resistance. To keep them performing their best for a long time, we'd recommend avoiding the steam room and heavy rain. We're thrilled she loves the fold-flat design and the quiet listening experience even at higher volumes. Thank you for choosing Sony!

Excellent noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are great. I had the XM3 but the best selling point was ability to connect with multiple devices at the same time. Often used for travel, noise cancelling/isolation is very good, almost scary good. I like the ability to automatically detect for certain sounds or quickly turn off noise cancelling when needed. For sound quality, there's a very balanced sound. They don't have the strongest bass or the loudest max volume. Overall very well worth the price, especially if you can catch them on sale.
