Outstanding
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding purchase, these have been the standard for a few years and perform as well as the newer XM-5 without a few of the bells and whistles. But at 1/2 the price.

Great for the gym
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these and the bose 700 to test out at the gym. The sonys had more bass to where you feel your cheeks vibrating. When someone talks to me at the gym and i start to speak the music stops so i can have a conversation which is really convenient. The material is real good quality.

Noise cancellation for the win
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never appreciated noise cancellation until I bought these headphones. Whether I was on a plane, on a trail, walking around or working out there has never been a time where I regretted this purchase.

Sound Quality? Meh.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From the title of this review, it probably sounds like I hate this headphone. No. I completely understand the purpose it serves under the factor of convenience. The noise-cancellation is fantastic, the call microphones are alright, and the fit and comfort are out of this world, though slightly clampy for a big head like me. What I dislike, however, is how meh and uninspired the sound quality is. I would hope from a headphone this expensive that the sound would at least be much more clear and crisp. Instead, the XM4 has this awful muddyness to it. Personally, I find it to be unbearable, however your mileage may vary, when headphones are all bass. And the XM4's really are just mud and bass. Perhaps this headphone isn't aimed at me, but still, I would love a pair of good travel headphones that don't sound like being drowned underwater while your favorite music plays. If you are someone who isn't very keen or just doesn't care about sound as much as convenience and comfort, these are for you. I completely understand that side, and I would recommend them for commutes. But general listening, you can do way better.

Excellent product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product, does exactly what it claims. Great noise cancelling, effective in environments like airports or cafes, but still allows you to hear announcements that are being made. Fast charging with USB-C, multipoint functionality makes connecting to 2 different sources a breeze. No major complaints.

GREAT product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my daughter - who didn't think she'd really like them. She wore them one night while watching Netflix on her laptop and she LOVED them. She wished she'd had them on the airplane next to the crying baby....

Sound great.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compared Bose NC 700 and Apple AirPods Max to these Sony WH- 1000XM4. To my ears, the Sony headphones sound the best...with tweak of EQ settings. Noise cancelling is very good. At a price of $250...can't beat them.
