Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Before I decided on these, I picked up Bose NC700, and I prefer these over the Bose. I find them more comfortable than the Bose, and they sure sound better to my ears. Highly recommended, especially if you find them at a discount.

Amazing Sound Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am no longer able to use in ear headphones so I needed over ear. Although the price had me hesitant, these headphones are definitely worth the money. The sound quality is amazing, they fit great and it took over an hour before sweat became noticeable.

I'm a huge fan and loyal customer of Bose but these headphones are up there or even might be better than some of their top tier products. Very comfortable and the music is superb.

Amazing!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used these headphones for a few weeks now and they're great. I had the Bose QC45 but decided to return those, as the XM4s were just better. They have more rich sound and more features. They also make the QC45 feel cheap in comparison. The only con is that the noise cancellation isn't as good as on the Bose. I also tried the XM5s recently and found that these sound better (and these fold inwards and have a nice case, the XM5s do not). To conclude, best purchase I've made in a while. I hope they'll last long.

ANC, PNC, fit/comfortability, Design, Quality.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To begin with, this is a review for the average user. I have Skullcandy venue and AirPods Pro, each totaling appx. $130 & $250 respectively, so this is the comparison. The Skullcandy headphones were good, but they didnt make me say "wow". Average sound, ANC worked, though not well. I discovered that an ice bagging machine is a good test, considering it is very loud, but not machine shop loud. With the SC I could hear the ice dropping out of the machine even at maximum volume. The AirPods Pro, however, mask the sound completely and without using max volume, same as these sony WH. They slip around the head, but that may be because I have a smaller one, and the touch controls are a pain sometimes but the sound quality is miles ahead of any Skullcandy, and a fair amount better than the AirPod pro. The mic really sucks though.

Posted .Hi Sett,
You made the right choice with the Sony WH1000XM4 headphones! We're glad that you like its sound quality. 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
Your feedback about fit, touch controls, and the mic quality is greatly appreciated. Make sure to adjust the headband for optimum fit and comfort.
For the best overall performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).
The sensor of the touch sensor control panel is built into the flat surface of the right unit. Operate within the range of the sensor. When you swipe your finger forward/backward or up/down on the touch sensor control panel, the touch sensor control panel may not work correctly depending on the angle at which the headset is worn or the direction your head is facing:
a. When you swipe your finger forward/backward, make the movements perpendicular to the headband.
b. When you swipe your finger up/down, make the movements parallel to the headband.
To improve call quality, re-establish the connection between the source device and the headset. Select HFP or HSP for the profile.
Sony takes all feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products.
Hope these steps improve your experience. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony

Can you improve perfect?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Going from the XM3s to the XM4s, I cannot tell a difference. At the same time, the XM3s were the most perfect product I have ever bought. Therefore, this is also perfect. I don't like how Sony has treated the newer versions of the XM series, and this was the last of its kind. Huge fan of the XM3 sequel.

Incredible sound!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Granted, I've never shelled out for a really good pair, but now that I am listening with these headphones, I get it. The balance is incredible. The noise canceling is amazing. The toggle between ambient and noice cancelling is super easy and quick. The features are great. Bluetooth works great. No problem with phone calls. Tested and the other person heard me great. Kept noise cancelling on while I was talking and found I could still hear my voice, which was nice, but could listen to music with noise cancelling on and couldn't hear someone talking to me. I had this on a wish list and then the price dropped, so I went ahead and ordered them. Really glad it did. Extremely pleased and excited to really enjoy and deeply listen to music.
