Better than Bose 700
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Expensive, but better than bose 700. Sony sound quality is better and does not nickel and dime you for every little thing like bose. Bose is selling a portable usb link to help with the connectivity of the bose 700. They are trying to make more money by solving a problem in their headphones, which is the connectivity. Sony headphones connect to my pc, but bose 700 glitches.

The best headset
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a gift for my husband and he loves it so much. He’s very happy with this product. He had tried the more expensive and well known brand and returned it and got this one instead. Very happy and would highly recommend it.

Nice gift
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a gift for my daughter for Christmas. It is lightweight and seems so much more convenient than the wired headphones from back in the day. She has not used them yet, but it's exactly what she wanted.

Great headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You won’t go wrong with these if your want a good over ear headphone with all the bells and whistles. It’s way too big for my head though, so if you have a tiny head like me then you might not find these as comfortable as others.

Posted .Hi Katy, Glad to hear that you are happy with the sound quality and features of your new WH-1000XM4 headphones. To reduce discomfort while wearing the headphones, try adjusting the headband and the earpads properly. These headphones actually support super-soft, pressure-relieving earpads in foamed urethane evenly distribute pressure and increase ear/pad contact for a stable fit.
Regards,
Carl
Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, ears up, the best headset I’ve ever owned. The only issue is with updates, as they seem to wipe your previous settings each time. It’s annoying, and inconvenient, but easy to fix with their mobile app,

Top ANC in class again
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Other than a terrible name, Sony has done it again. The XM4 is a slight upgrade of the XM3 and if you are coming from the XM3 it is probably best to wait for the XM5. If you are on older headphones though or new to ANC headphones these are amazing

Right Hinge
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are AMAZING when it comes to audio and noice canceling..but my issue lies with the physical. I have bought a pair of xm4’s before and in fact this is a replacement for those but my first pairs I had dropped and the right hinge swivel had broke and the right cup was just dangling, that was my fault that it broke, but this time I was just taking the headphones off and they broke, in the same way as my last ones..so I probably won’t ever be buying Sony’s again, they cost way too much to break so easily.
