Crystal Clear Bass and Vocals
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these headphones, when it comes to comfort, battery life and sound quality they are amazing. Out of the box they come with great sound but tweaking it in the sound options of their app make them so much better depending on your taste. If you want headphones with amazing noise cancellation, sound and battery life. These are the perfect choice!

The perfect headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for headphones that were comfortable and excellent quality. I found them. I love being on a plane and putting them on and all the noise just goes away. The sound quality is outstanding and they are very comfortable on my head and ears. It comes in a cute case with accessories for use on a plane. I have used them many times already and have not been disappointed. The battery life is fantastic and charges extremely quick.

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.

Solid headphones. A definite buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are great! They have pretty solid connectivity and the sound is phenomenal. Coming from AirPod pros, I don’t think it was a huge jump but still nice. They are comfortable but I’ve found wearing them for more than a few hours can make my head hurt eventually. I loved these so much I bought a pair for my sister as well. Bonus that these go on sale pretty often and are totally worth the money

A Great Investment.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned Bose and Beats. Bose are good headphones but uncomfortable on the ears due to me wearing earrings. Both of my beats broke after about 7 to 8 months of daily use. Very poor battery life also. Bought these and have enjoyed them more than all other listening devices. The app is a plus too. They fold up nice and compact. Battery life over an 8 hour work day. Comfortable and very happy. A great investment.

They’re v Awesome
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s everything I needed and more. I’m impressed with the quality of these headphones. First off, sounds great. I listen to different genres of music; I cannot describe in with my limited vocabulary how amazing my music sounds. It’s like I can hear everything the producer added- like I can finally hear the backing vocals for “Why Not?” by LOONA. I’m so amazed at the attention to detail, but don’t be mistaken!!! THE BASE!!! HOLY SHI- THE BASE IS ALSO AMAZING. Anyways sounds great. Second, I never truly knew the blessings of having noise canceling headphones. I’ve always had to turn up the volume on my regular earphones bc everything else outside of earphones was so loud. So I don’t ever need to go past the middle of the volume controls to be able to hear my music or podcasts. It’s intuitive, easy to start up and use. It has special controls on the headphones itself; so I when I’m working on my projects I don’t have to look away and use my phone to change the song or podcast episodes. The only thing I do wish Sony would do is make these headphones resistant to water/water damage of any kind (sweat, splashed water, idk what else). There’s also the Voice-to-speak; I sometimes hum to the songs I’m listening to so the headphones will automatically stop whatever I’m listening to. I don’t really use this feature so I just turned it off; but it’s cool. Anyways great pair of headphones; more grey than I thought they’d be. best purchase I’ve prob ever made. 10/10 STAN LOONA

Fantastic headphones, in ever category
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely and genuinely love these headphones. The noise-cancellation is second to none. Recently took them on a plane and quite literally forgot how loud things were. I connected to the plane wifi and joined a video call with friends they immediately muted me telling me how loud things were around me and for a few seconds I was actually confused at what they meant! The sound quality is also great, mixed in with the built in EQ, it allows you to really get the sound YOU want out of these. I also use these for the gym, and while not being sweat or water proof in the slightest they work fine and plenty of reviewers have said the same. I of course have no plans of drenching them or anything like that but sweat will not hurt these. (Of course do your due diligence and keep them dry and clean) The blue is definitely a darker blue. Under most light it’s just black, the blue being very hard to see (not even remotely a bit deal). Honestly I’d done quite a bit of research on top headphones in the segment and these always came up but the price and brand loyalty elsewhere scared me off. I’d used Sony headphones before but never their premium line ups. Don’t wait as long as I did. If they’re on sale… BUY them. If they aren’t on sale but you want to gets some headphones that’ll last you… BUY THEM.

Sony WH-1000XM4...You can’t go wrong!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an outstanding set of headphones. I upgraded from the 1000XM3 which l loved as well. I love that I was able to get these in blue. The clarity and sound from these headphones is amazing and they are very comfortable. I love the use of the Sony app with the headphones as it allows customization. The Speak to Chat and wearing detection are new to this upgrade and are welcomed features. Also, noise cancellation is great and the battery life is outstanding. You can’t go wrong with the Sony XM4.

Fantastic Headphones! Great sound! Comfortable!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are fantastic! The build quality is very solid without being too heavy on the head. I was concerned they might be a bit tight on my large head, but they are super comfortable, with a light to moderate clamping force and soft ear-piece cushions. Both of these factors make them easy to wear for extended periods of time. I thought I would have to modify the sound profile using the SONY app made for these headphones to get the sound mixed how I prefer, but they sounded great right out of the box. Clear, well-defined bass, plenty of mids, and brilliant highs. Not muddy in the least as some other reviews stated. I use these every day, both for work and for play. At night, I connect them to the ROKU app for private TV listening, so I don't wake up the house. There is zero lag time or delay between the action on screen and the headphones. They also work great streaming audio from music apps on your phone. The bluetooth range extends a lot farther than most other bluetooth devices I own. I can walk all over the house listening to music while my phone is downstairs in the office and the headphones stay connected and sound great. I haven't tried using them for phone calls yet, but I will. The noise cancelling is amazing. When you put theses over your ears, it's like you disappear into another world. The headphones fold up neatly and fit perfectly in the provided hard case for safe transport. I can't recommend these headphones enough. I'm going to need a second pair because my daughter has discovered them and loves listening to music with them. Get these headphones! They're worth every penny. You will love them!

Posted .Hi VintageMediaGuy,
Thank you for the positive feedback and we're glad you like the overall performance of the headphones. Everything in the WF-1000XM4 headphones has been designed from the ground up. Like our new Integrated Processor V1. Specially developed by Sony, our new Integrated Processor V1 takes the noise-cancelling performance of our acclaimed QN1e chip and goes even further. Improved noise cancelling performance and Bluetooth “System on Chip” technology delivers the industry’s highest level of noise cancelling yet uses less power. We appreciate the recommendation and thank you for choosing Sony!

David
Excellent all around headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones that provide all day comfort. Noise cancelling was weird to get used to at first, but now I quite enjoy it. Sound quality is great for the price point. These do last my whole 8-10 hr work day building race engines with charging boosts during my breaks and lunch time. Finish on the plastics do not like solvents like brake cleaner or acetone.
