She loves them over her Beats from two years ago. She is picky about the fit over the ears, she loves these. Noise canceling is great. She also says the quality of the sound is awesome.

Pretty good, but could use improvements
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not bad for my first pair of noise-canceling headphones. They are definitely a must for working from home. They're comfortable and do a good job of canceling out low- and mid-range ambient sound. But high-octave ambient sound is still fairly audible even with noise canceling turned on. All in all though, they suit my current needs, so I'm not upset with this purchase.

Best Wireless Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to be obsessed with Beats. I had the Solo 2 & 3 and Studios 2 & 3. However, I tested these Sony recently and I am never going back to buy any new Beats ever again! These headphones are much better and I think these are the best at the moment.

Does a decent job cancelling noise
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this a couple of years ago to help deal with apartment noise while working from home. The noise cancelling does not provide absolute quiet but reduced the noise enough I could concentrate much better. It's music playing quality is decent.

Great Quality Headphones but...
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked these at first, but they did not compare to another brand I purchased. I did not like having to use an app to have the control settings. The other brand I purchased is able to work seamlessly without the app. They are great-quality headphones but did not like the user interface.

Posted .Hi Techie2o11, Thank you for choosing Sony. While we are glad to hear that you are happy with your new WH-1000XM4 headphones, we are sorry to hear that it did not meet all of your expectations. You can use the headphones even without the application installed on your Bluetooth device. The Sony Headphones connect app will allow you to change the settings of the WH-1000XM4 and these settings will remain even if the headphones disconnects or pairs to another device. The settings will only revert back to default when the headphones are initialized back to factory default. I hope this helps and thank you so much for your feedback.
Regards,
Carl

Great headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. The noise cancellation makes you feel like you’re in a void like in the TV shoes where everyone is in a all white room or area. Sadly it was a present for my wife and she preferred something else do had to return.

Not exactly sliced bread...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Poor connectivity issues (even after firmware updates) and ridiculously useless "touch controls" made these without much merit in my eyes and ears. They could not hold a connection while my older Sony MDR XB950N1s worked as always, i.e., flawlessly. This was also evident in my test of the Sennheiser PXC 550iis and their Momentum 3 ANC headphones. I was not willing to keep hoping these would work. Their noise cancelling was not up to the XB950s abilities either. I may have gotten a bad seed but I was not willing to keep returning and trying another pair, so...Back they went. Others have a different experience. This is mine. Not theirs. ;-) No recommended by me at this moment in time. I settled on the Bose QC45s as the keepers of my recent ANC headphone comparison and alternate between those and my excellent Sony XB950s! The Bose are better than the XM4s but so too are my Sony XB950s. Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

Posted .Hi SSSS,
Thank you for choosing and purchasing our Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones. We are sorry to hear you are having a connectivity issue with your WH-1000XM4. Allow us to help and turn this into a pleasant experience. If the Bluetooth connection with headphones suddenly disconnects, it may be worth checking though the troubleshooting steps from the links below to isolate the issue.
When connecting the headset to a Bluetooth device, use the headset at least 10 m (30 feet) away from the wireless LAN device.

The situation may be improved by changing the wireless playback quality settings. Set the headset to “Priority on stable connection” mode or fixing the wireless playback mode with the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app.
