Great headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for myself because i wanted a good pair of headphones, and every review i seen said these are the best. The noise canceling is great, and doesn’t make your head feel a ton of pressure the way my Airpods Pro do. They also sound great! And i love that i can easily adjust the equalizer. The battery also last a long time!

The sound quality is insane
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You would think for a pair of headphones that is over three years old that they would sound as if they would be falling off in sound quality . But that’s where you would be wrong they still hold up to be some of the best sounding headphones to date. Also, I know people don’t like to download apps for a lot of things, But the app that works with this pair of headphones Is worth it because of all the features that it holds you can have a custom EQ you can tweak different options in there. The pass-through is really nice as well. There’s a lot of great features.

best over the ear headphones I've ever had
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best over the ear headphones I have used, worth the cost. Easy to wear for hours, excellent sound and excellent noise cancellation as well. I have an in-the-ear-canal set of Etymotics (ER4) with ear molds that are also excellent, but after an hour or two they start to irritate me. This headset is light and no irritation.

Very pleased with these headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is good, I am partial to Sony tuning. Microphone works on calls, but listeners tell me noises around me are amplified. I find wind noise while outside is distracting a bit to me. My first pair of nose canceling cans, I'm impressed by the technology. The connectivity is phenomenal, very easy, works every time no problem with my android phone.

Amazing Headphones for the price on Sale
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from beats Solo 3, better sound and ANC is pretty cool couldn't hear my fan running in my room. Easy to pair with my iPhone 13 Pro Max. The ear cushion area does get a bit warm but its still nice and conformable than the Solo 3 (It was very tight and couldn't where them for a long time.) $249 was the price when I bought these.

Overall good
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall amazing headphones, love the audio quality as a person who has bought a lot of main stream over the ear headphones. I’d say these aren’t for heavy gym users. The band is pretty will and it’ll fall when laying down in my experience

Posted .Hi Marco,
We appreciate your positive remarks on the WH-1000XM4 Headphones' outstanding audio quality, and it's great to hear they stand out among mainstream options. We understand your concerns regarding stability during heavy movement, like at the gym or when lying down, as these headphones are optimized more for premium listening and travel comfort rather than intense physical activity. For a more secure fit during exercise, you might consider our sport-focused models, which are specifically designed to handle greater movement and sweat resistance.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Awesome headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m not a headphone enthusiast by any means, but these headphones have been well worth the purchase to me! I mainly use them at school, and the noise cancelling feature is great when I really need to focus on an assignment. The equalizer feature on the companion app is nice because you can adjust the sound exactly as you like it. It might be better to wait until they’re on sale if you’re on the fence about getting them, but I personally love and recommend them!!!

Best NC Headphones I've Used
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these on sale for $275 (down from $350) and am very, very happy with them. They ranked as good or better than both Bose and Apple AirPods Max in many, many comparisons and - even at full price - are the cheapest of the 3. The noise cancelling truly is next level. They sound amazing as well. A really immersive experience. You can fine tune the sound to your liking via an equalizer that you control from the included Sony app. There are lots of other bells, whistles and gadgets - adaptive noise cancellation (NC adjust automatically based on your environment) and Sony's proprietary 360 degree sound codec. The codec is nifty and sounds amazing but is only available on three premium music services (Deezer, Tidal & Amazon HD) and kept behind an expensive paywall on all of them. To be honest - ALL music sounds just great on these. Your mileage may vary as to if this is something that you HAVE to have. I probably won't be renewing the free 3 month Deezer trial that comes with the cans. The MAIN showcase here are the noise cancelling and sound quality which are both top grade. You could take away the other stuff and these would still be worth the price point.
