Dear Headphones: Stop listening to me
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound plus lighter and more comfortable than previous generation. My complaint: the xm4 keeps listening to me and pauses the audio every time it thinks I'm talking, such as when I cough or breathe. Please show me how to disable this useless feature!

Great product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The reason that I bought this product is because due to COVID I have to work from home and the noise cancellation and the battery life futures were the main reason of this purchase - I don't have to hear my dog, my teenager son and my mother talking and distracting me while I'm working.

Sweet Ride, Mellow Music
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Listening to music with my new Sony- WH1000XM4 is more enjoyable. The notes from different instruments flows sweetly, so mellow. No in-flight entertainment on my flight but with my Sony headphone, the movie sounded like it was seen on a big screen theater. The plane's engine's noise unnoticeable.

Good, but could use a few tweaks to be great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Then noise cancelling function on these headphones is really good. I've never really had a pair other than airpod pros. I mainly use these while I'm studying, listening to lectures or on Zoom calls. I love that you can connect to two devices at the same time via bluetooth. These headphones are much smaller and lightweight than I thought they would be. The app you need to accompany it is okay to use, but does not have a ton of functionality. There are a couple of major points that I do not like. 1st, the padding on the earcups is not very thick. Your ears may touch the inside of the headphones if they aren't on the smaller side. I have tried to replace them with aftermarket ones, but have not found the right one yet. 2nd, the talk to speak function, it will pause headphones if it indicates you speaking, is very sensitive. It reacts to a slight clearing of the throat or other sound easily. Then it will take a few seconds to reconnect to what you were engaged in. 3rd, to get the full functionality of these headphones, such as 360 Reality Audio, you have to subscribe to "premium" apps or services that utilize it. For the price, that is off-putting.

Great headphones!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased these for my daughter. She loves them. She just went on a flight and they were great with allowing her to jear her music over the airplane noise. They also maintain a charge long enough to last for her all day.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using ear buds for quite awhile but thought I’d try a good set of headphones and so far have been extremely satisfied. They’re not so heavy to cause discomfort and they are very good at isolating other sounds in the room. Being cordless really makes being mobile extra good!

Excellent choice of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality and noise reduction is superb! Fortunate for me the newer model M5 came out a few days after my purchase. The sound remains the same but the new features such as the larger ear pads make them that much more comfortable.

Great
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable even for someone with a very large head. I wear a size 8-1/8 hat and this still fits well. Noise cancelling works as well as any other brand I have tried. the touch commands on the ear to control music and volume is extremely convient.
