Customer Ratings & Reviews

Five stars may seem generous but allow me to prove my opinion. These headphones are not the absolute best at any one thing, but their ability to do it all is why they receive a five star rating. They sound very, very good. Sennheiser good? No. But these are great headphones that still impress me with their sound quality. Are they as comfortable as the Bose NC-700's? Not quite, but I can wear these for hours before the headband induces soreness or the earcup pressure becomes fatiguing. The noise canceling is incredible, truly 5 stars, and while i dont live in a big city, numerous times I've left a noisy stovetop vent running because I simply couldnt hear it over the sound of a podcast, not even music. The battery life is fantastic and comnecting them to multiple devices is simple enough that the extra pinch of time to pair and connect is perfectly okay with me. The interesting earcup fold to place them appropriately in the case takes about a week to get used to but once you memorize it the act is natural and takes very little thought. The included 3.5mm audio cable, airplane charge converter dongle, and short usb-c to A cable are nothing short of a bonus and are appreciated. Again, these headphones dont knock anything completely out of the park, but they do everything very well. Give them a chance!

For the past couple of years I have been researching noise canceling headphones. With the the Black Friday deals, I decided to go ahead and buy a pair. From my reasearch I found the Sony WH-1000MX4's would best fit my needs. After about a months worth of use, I can say these headphones did not dissapoint. These headphones have excellent sound quality and great bass. The Sony headphones app makes it easy to tune the sound the way you prefer, instead of being stuck with presets. The noise canceling is good, but not perfect. When working in the office you can still faintly hear voices in the background. The voices do seem to go away when music or audio audio books are played. It is also nice the app does allow you to tune the noise canceling to fit the environment. If you just want to tone down the outside noise, you can just move the ANC slider to a setting of your liking. Last, these headphones fit great. I have a larger head which can be problematic with some headphones. With the WH-1000MX4's adjustability, they fit comfortably on my head, without too much pressure. I would recommend the WH-1000MX4's to anyone looking for a Noise Canceling headphone with excellent sound quality.

I am by no means an audiophile, but I have tried a large variety of audio playing devices and these Sony headphones are absolutely mind-blowing. I feel like up until this point, I have not heard music before. The sound quality on these headphones are beyond anything I have come across that just leaves you speechless. Also, the noise cancelling far exceeds any of the noise cancelling headphones/earbuds on the market, including the Bose 700s. I can confidently say that these are the best noise cancelling headphones under that 500 dollar range. Battery life is superior and truly does last over 24 hours (30 as described is a bit of a stretch here if you are using noise cancelling), but if you just plug these in for 10 minutes you can get like 2 hours of additional battery life. It is crazy. Microphone quality is excellent. I have used these for video conferencing and have been complemented on how clear my voice is. Background noise does appear to be controlled to a certain extent as well so people can hear you and only you. These are very comfortable and secure on my head. Additional app features help foster a great listening environment. Overall, these definitely outclass any headphones/earphones I have ever come across. However, its only downfall is I do think if a drop of water gets in these, you can say goodbye to these headphones! But these headphones are definitely worth the buy.

This headphone is so comfy & I actually like it better than the XM5. The sound levels are good doesn’t make you too deaf & I love how you can put your hands over one side to hear what others are saying. It charges fast and battery life lasts pretty long. Used mines for 2 weeks now from time to time and I haven’t even charged it yet.

These headphones provide excellent sound and spatialization. They are comfortable enough but be aware that they can get warm because they are closed headphones with no cooling air circulation. However since that didn't really bother me personally I did not deduct a star. Pricing was decent and I have had great experience with Sony products in general. Lastly, this is the second pair I purchased. The first was for me and the second for my adult son. We are both very pleased.

Really high quality. Look good. Sometimes it can be a little annoying how it auto-pauses when you speak. Any time I sing, it thinks I'm talking to someone and pauses the music. I'm sure there's a way of turning this off using the app, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I think it's great for college students.

Great sound and great price. Fits over ears very well

This model feels more comfortable than the New Model. They are also more comfortable than the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultras or the Q45’s in my opinion. The Sound is Solid “ compared “ to the aforementioned Headphones especially for the price of $225.00 I paid. Honestly I would not recommend paying $350 for these headphones or any of the other contenders. The sound does not blow me away for Sony or Bose . I will say that the Bose headphones are Overrated which is typical for Bose products in my opinion. In conclusion, most Electronics are overpriced and overrated, However if you can find the Wx004’s on sale for $225 or less, I think you should be satisfied.

I LOVED these headphones right from the beginning! They are noise canceling and don't give me headaches from the pressure of wearing them or using the noise canceling feature. They also have an optional feature so they can detect when you take them off and automatically pause your music so you don't miss it! If you get the companion app that goes along with them you can customize pretty much everything. You have the option to adjust the noise canceling level, the bass, if you want them to auto adjust to your lifestyle and so much more!

The Sony WH-1000XM4 in Midnight Blue offers stellar sound quality, class-leading noise cancellation, and impressive 30-hour battery life. Its comfortable fit makes it ideal for long use, while smart features like Speak-to-Chat and adaptive sound control add convenience. A premium choice for audiophiles and travelers, blending performance, style, and functionality.

Great sound quality. Comfortable fit even with glasses. Great battery life.

As a medical student who was studying for the most important board exams of my life, I had to move back to New York for my rotations. That meant noise from vehicles, and since I lived under a family, brothers sharing their love for each other with their fists - as all brothers do. Now, I did not want to be rude and constantly ask for them to keep their children quiet, so I tried these headphones out to block out the noise. The only thing that could annoy me was my own heartbeat now. These headphones: 1. Are comfortable so I can wear them forever. 2. Charge very quickly for 30 hours of uptime! Even a quick 10 min charge lasted me the night if I forgot to charge them in advance. 3. So versatile, since the Sony app allows you to keep the firmware up to date, and unlocks more features to customize gestures of your headphones, your equalizer, and how much noise cancelling you need. The con? Taking a call isn't so bad, but it's definitely NOT the best quality, which is fine because I played with both the Bose 700 and these headphones and let me tell you that the musician in me was so happy with the beautiful and crisp sounds of the mid-range frequencies that are often discarded for your hearing pleasure. These headphones are definitely worth the buy, you will NOT be disappointed.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones deliver incredible sound quality and industry leading noise cancellation. They're super comfortable, smart and perfect for music, calls, and travel. Premium performance that truly stands out.

Amazing set of headphones for the price. The sound quality is really good, and the noice cancelling is second to none. It's very comfortable to wear especially for long hours, and does not hurt your ears like other headphones after a while. The Sony app is also pretty good with plenty of features that you can adjust on your headset. Battery lasts a very long time and getting close to 28-35 hours of battery life and it charges fairly fast too. Also the headset connects really easy to your device unlike other headsets which can get finicky trying to connect to it via bluetooth. The case that it comes with is very nice, sleek, and minimalistic.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones are truly exceptional. The noise cancellation is top-notch, providing an immersive listening experience, whether you're in a noisy environment or just looking to escape. The sound quality is rich and detailed, with deep bass and clear highs. The comfort and battery life are impressive, making them perfect for long listening sessions. These headphones exceed expectations in every way and are easily the best I've ever owned.

I have tried out Apples Maxs and even though i am an Apple user through and through, these headphones are much lighter and the sound quality is more crisp and clearer! The Airpod Maxs though are better when it comes to noise cancellation. Just by a little. I don’t mind though since the Sonys makes up for that in every other way possible. I have worn these headphones over 6 hours straight for work and it did not once give me a headache or feel one bit uncomfortable. The best part about these is the amazing battery life. I have yet to charge them again since after the first charge. Its been like 2 weeks of daily usage and im at 40%! Thats wild!

Best ANC and sound quality I have ever experienced. I literally started hearing parts of songs I had never heard before. Battery life is outstanding and they're very comfortable for extended wear. Touch controls are very intuitive. They're definitely on the expensive side, but if you can manage to snag them on sale, I would definitely recommend.

I am not an audio tech. All I know is, they are comfortable for me, wearing them for most of two 15 hour flights, and the depth and clarity of sound is wonderful. Great around the house too. For the trips, the battery lasted my guess about 20-25 hours. Disconnected a few times with head movement.

As one not normally discount the quality of Bluetooth over wired headsets, I have to say that these pack a major punch! Bass is incredible, the highs and mids are phenonimal. 28-30hr battery make them great fro travel. Using noise cancelling on my last flight - I couldnt hear a thing aside from my music - and no one could hear what I was playing. The app is nice and has an equalizer. One perk is an option to turn on voice assist, which can turn off noise cancelling if you get a call/start talking. 10/0 would reccomend!

I've been looking for a pair of bluetooth headphones for work and running, and after seeing these on sale I got them. Battery lasts a long time. The noise cancelling feature is maybe my favorite part about them. I can still hear if someone needs to grab my attention, but it blocks out all of the other noises I dont want to hear. Music and audiobooks sound great. I recommend.
