Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very great sound quality. First nice pair of headphones I've owned, so i can't compare, but the noise canceling works really well. Sometimes the sides of my head hurt if i wear them and my glasses all day.

Posted .Hi JennaS,
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's wonderful to hear that you're enjoying the sound quality and noise-canceling features of your Sony WH1000XM4 headphones. It sounds like they’ve been a great first step into high-quality audio. As for the discomfort with glasses, you might try adjusting the fit slightly to find a more comfortable position for extended wear. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00282845?utm_source

Good but not Great
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good but not great. The bass is hands down really good. The mids I can’t seem to get down to my taste but highs are good. Overall they do provide a good sound experience. The app is ok because of the equalizer but aside from that it sucks. The dual device connection is crap. They sometimes connect without any problems but 8 out of 10 times it doesn’t connect. Sometimes it says the headset connects to my iPhone but the app will say it’s not. I have to delete all connections and start all over. Overall on sale they’re worth the buy. Full retail...wouldn’t recommend.

Currently, these are the best I've used
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've tried various models/brands of noise cancelling headphones, and these are the best overall. The NC works really well, the audio is really good, including bass delivery without crushing the mids. I think these are a bit better than the v3 in sound, and maybe a little in NC, but the differences are not huge. These seem to have less of a plastic "creak" when handling than the v3.

BEST HEADPHONES
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I have everrrrr owned. Although I kind of regret buying the headphones in black and I wished I should've bought them in silver. Anyways it doesn't matter the quality and sound of these headphones are amazing! I also enjoyed the noise-canceling option, I can finally stop hearing my upstairs neighbors from doing a ton of noise.

Best quality headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was debating between airpods max and this, but I'm glad I got this. Worth the money! Noise canceling is awesome. Pretty scary when commuting though because I couldn't hear anything outside of the headphones.

Posted .Thanks for commenting, Dylan! We are thrilled to hear about your satisfaction with the amazing sound quality and exceptional noise canceling feature of your WH-1000XM4. We are so sorry if these headphones didn't fit you well. The WH-1000XM4 has a self-adjusting headband and soft cushioned earcups that cover the whole ear. For the best method to fit the headphones, please refer to the following:
• Check the left and right units of the headset.
- There is a tactile dot on the (left) mark side.
• Extend the slider to its full length before putting on the headset.
• Put on the headset with the earpads fitting snugly over your ears.
• Adjust the slider to a length where the headband touches the top of your head.
• Adjust the orientation of the left and right units so that the earpads fit snugly all around your ears.
• If you put on the headset without adjusting the slider, the headset may not be positioned properly on your head, resulting in discomfort or a weak noise canceling effect.
I hope you find this information helpful, and thanks for choosing Sony!
Best regards,
Romeo

Love. Love.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these. So quiet. Salina quality is good. Blocks out family noises. Especially since we are all home during pandemic. I love that I can touch one speaker and it will mute the music and I can say hi to someone quickly and then when I let go the music resumes. I don’t have to find phone and stop music or take them off. What a great feature. Amazing product.

||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones are very comfortable and look nice on. The phone app to adjust settings can sometimes be a bit clunky to use and while the sound quality is fine for streaming music etc, the noise cancellation isn't quite as good in certain settings.
