Best noise cancelling and bass
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are awesome! I had the previous version for a few years until they broke, so when I got these I was hoping they would live up to the XM3s. And they do! The noise cancelling is elite and blocks out almost all ambient noise. The sound is clear and the bass is the best sounding I've heard in headphones. The quality of the construction is great and they're comfortable to wear for hours.

Perfect except for gaming
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones. Audio is amazing, connectivity is excellent. Actually helped fix my bluetooth issue on computer. Only draw back is that when using for gaming, they cant function as headphones and mic at the same time. Small inconvenience, but if you're thinking for primarily gaming and you use Discord or play with friends I would go for a gaming headset over these. For anything else, these are amazing.

Excellent ANC, but Ambient mode could be better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, it's a great product. I'm not a huge music person, but i still can appreciate the audio improvements over my Pixel buds pro. The ANC is excellent, but the ambient mode could be better. It still works and is perfectly usable, but found it slightly worse than my Pixel buds pro and no where as good as the Airpods pro, which is $100 cheaper. But other than that, it's very comfortable to wear and then battery life is great.

Expensive but worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are comfortable, sound great, have good noise cancelling, and generally do everything I want. The one downside is you can't charge and listen wirelessly at the same time. But the recharge speed is fast and battery lasts long, so that isn't really a problem. You can also plug it into a 3.5mm audio jack, which the wire is thankfully included, but noise cancelling won't be available if you use it that way.

Fantastic Sound Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Something you need to understand going into the prospect of buying active noise cancelling headphones is that no review — not mine, not anybody else's — is a substitute for putting on a pair and trying them for yourself. That said, I absolutely love my Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones, and wouldn't trade them for anything. It's perfectly possible to use these with no sound cancelling whatsoever, and they're fine for that, I suppose, but they really come into their own when you use them as they were meant to be used. Also, like some other manufacturers' offerings, these are intended to be used with an app installed either on a smartphone or a tablet, because in order to have full access to the range of capabilities they're capable of, you need the app. However, whether you have an Android-based phone or an iPhone, or you have an iPad or an Android-based tablet, you're good to go. Sony has made their app available on both platforms. So, if you're anathema to having or using a smartphone or tablet, then look at a much more basic model, whether from Sony or anyone else. That said, these units are INCREDIBLE at nulling out background sound. In fact, they are built to be able to identify and selectively cancel out different kinds of sound. This can mean something like train and subway noise, motor noise, and a whole range of other things. They can filter out — or not filter out — human voice. In fact, they can selectively not filter human voice yet filter out much of the rest of the spectrum, letting you have a very comfortable conversation with someone without having to take them off and put them back on again. The app, used in conjunction with a tablet or smartphone, can be set up to know if you're at home, if you're out at some specific location, or if you're on the move, and function accordingly. Riding your bike? Going for a walk? Well, perhaps you shouldn't mute out all vehicle noise for safety reasons, and these headphones allow for all those sort of possibilities. So yes, these are not cheap headphones by any means, but for what they do and how well they do it, they're worth every penny.

Great product, had to get it a second time.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.great quality that matches the price, had to get a second pair due to my first ones going through the ringer of 3 years of sweat and abuse. great for working out and just listening to music or movies. Gives more detail in the tones an vocals along with decent bass, all of which can be altered in the app that is supported by the headphones.

Excellent noise cancelling and stable bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.During work-from-home, I used to use Apple AirPods Pro, because of noise canceling function. However, AirPods Pro sometimes disconnects while a meeting that I struggled with. Sony WH-100MX4 has a better noise cancelling and over-the-ear style that doesn't harm to my ear, so I could use it for a long time in a day. In addition, Bluetooth connection to my mac is very stable. I never encounter unknown-disconnection. Overall, I'm very happy to use this product and keep use it while a meeting.

Nice noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise canceling is the best!!! Any design or color is fine. Unlike AirPods, it does not hurt your ears even if you use it for a long time. Also, the price is reasonable, I think. The battery lasts longer than expected. It can connect to devices and uses MacBooks and iPhones with it. Switching to Bluetooth between devices works better than expected.
