Great compared to what's on the market now
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My experience was primarily with the original MDR-1000X model before I decided to get another set and ended up waiting for these to launch before pulling the trigger. They're surprisingly different, with the newer (M4) model including app support for equalization and adjusting levels of ambient sound control. I'm not sure I like it compared to the simplicity of the original 1000X model. The noise cancelling is unquestionably better on the M4s model (with a noticeably lower noise floor and better overall cancellation across more frequencies), and both sound great via Bluetooth from LDAC sources but for some reason the line-in on the M4 sounds overly processed which hurts one of my main use cases. I use a Hiby R3 Pro music player and would use the wired output for my 1000X headphones but the wired in on the M4s sounds so processed that I'd rather use Bluetooth for them. Perhaps there's some EQ setting I can tweak in the app to fix that but so far I haven't found it.

Posted .Hi Cableguy, we're glad that waiting for this model was worth it. Good to know that you like the Noise Canceling function of the headphones. To get the most out of your WH-1000XM4, download the Sony | Headphones Connect App. It includes Adaptive Sound Control—which automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your activity and an equalizer—which can be customized to fine-tune your music. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Ralph

Best for studying
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Needed noise canceling headphones for college and so far they’ve been great. Sometimes I can’t even hear people walk up behind me. I also like the ability to adjust the noise cancellation based on my surroundings so I don’t have to worry about being dangerously unaware of my environment. Takes a moment for the sound to connect to headphones but only a moment. 10/10 would recommend.

Great Headphones! some bugs
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones sound great, comfort has improved, software and features are great. One of the best noise canceling features around. bugs I'm still experiencing are multi device does not prioritize my phone over my laptop, also sound would sometimes randomly pause which is more software.

Best headsets in that price point
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i love this headset. Sounds great and very comfy. Small issue i have is with the sensor that pauses the music when it detects you talking or someone talking to you. it pauses randomly, I'd rather a button and for it to not autodetect. the color is oh so beautiful

The WH1000XM4 has a built-in proximity sensor in the left unit and the built-in acceleration sensors in each of the left and right units detect when the headset is attached to or removed from your ears, and the headset automatically controls the touch sensor control panel’s operation, powering off, pausing music playback, play music, etc. By using the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, you can change the settings of the wearing detection automatic music playback pause and resume function of the headphones. I hope this helps. Erin
