Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been using the Sony WH-1000XM4 for a while now, and they’ve quickly become my go-to headphones. ✅ Comfort: They feel surprisingly light, and even after wearing them for long durations, there’s no discomfort or pressure. This makes them perfect for work sessions, travel, or just relaxing with music. ✅ Sound Quality: The sound is crisp, clear, and well-balanced. Vocals and instruments come through beautifully, and the overall listening experience feels immersive without being overwhelming. ✅ Noise Cancelling & Features: While my main focus has been on comfort and sound, it’s worth noting that these headphones are also praised for their excellent active noise cancellation and smart features like auto-pause and multipoint Bluetooth connectivity2. Overall: If you want headphones that combine comfort, clarity, and premium features, the WH-1000XM4 still holds up as one of the best choices—even years after release. They strike a great balance between performance and wearability, and I genuinely enjoy every listening session with them.

Headphones are the perfect fit. The features to go wireless and plug in are perfect. Sound is great.

Great build quality, top tier noise cancellation, extremely comfortable even after wearing it for long hours, extremely high battery life giving about 30hrs. Overall super happy with the product.

I have been looking for some gym hesdphones that dont fall off and have amazing noise cancellation. When I tell you these are the ones… THEY ARE!! They are so comfortable and easy to fit anywhere, as well as dont feel too heavy. Perfect features on the app they have at no cost ! Awesome headphones reccomend 100%

Best headphones I've ever bought. I also have the XM3, and while I think the noise cancelling is better with that headset, everything else about this one is superior. It's lighter on the head. Sound quality is amazing. The touch controls seem to work better. Battery life is phenomenal, I wear this thing for hours at a time and it'll go about a week or so before I need to charge it. Been using it for almost a year now, have had no issues whatsoever. If I have a gripe, it's that the built-in microphone doesn't work with PC at all, which is a bummer, and if I want to configure something or update the firmware I need to use the mobile app and connect the headset to my phone, but I haven't felt like I needed to so it's not that big a deal. I use this for gaming on my PC and attach an Antlion mod mic to the side of it (because the built-in mic doesn't work with PC). Gaming headsets in this price range pale in comparison. It's got simulated surround sound so I can accurately hear where enemies or other sounds are coming from. I don't have to download proprietary software and mess with an equalizer to get clear audio out if it like I did with my LG and Corsair headsets, though if you want to there is a mobile app where you can do that. It's lightweight and I can wear it comfortably with glasses for hours and it doesn't even feel like it's there. 100% would recommend this over any other gaming-focused headsets.

Got a good deal from best buy on these! They're definitely worth it. You can customize the equalizer to your liking and they aren't bass heavy and have a good treble. They aren't too heavy and they fit comfortably over my ears. They look so good too! Very satisfied with my purchase.

great sound for a middle range of money, while they're not supper laud in my personal opinion i think that they're great for their generation. They deliver on everything that you want comfort, sound and great battery life. Great compatibility which IOS devices and overall great for they're price. the only down grade to them is the material that surround your ears. In hotter environment's it can cause sweating and discomfort but overall great comfort.

I absolutely love my headphones and I have been using them for 3 years. The battery life does not wear out and the installment is amazing. The headphones are very comfortable to wear and noise canceling is almost very good in loud environments. Only problem is that when you turn on the headphones, the turn on speaker is too loud and if your music is too high, the music leaks.

Really great sound quality, and the noise cancelation is excellent. Comfortable enough over the ear that you can go for hours listening. I found the battery life to be quite good.

Bought these from previously using Beats Studio 3 w ANC, same MSRP as these, and got these on blackfriday and wow the quality is incredible, SUPER LIGHT, SUPER COMFORTABLE, and amazing ANC, fan was on max and I couldnt hear it hardly unless I tried to. Amazing battery lasted 6 hours without charge straight out of box, I use the headphone jack so I cannot say if it were wireless

Absolutely love these headphones. I'm no audiophile, but I love the sound and the noise cancelling is great. The over-ear is extremely comfortable. I've worn them for 6+ hours for the last month or so and have loved them. They hold a solid charge, I maybe charge them once or twice a week. Being able to connect to two devices at once is also a huge bonus because I can easily swap from my phone to my laptop. Only negatives is that sometimes the band at the top weighs down on my head so I need to shift it around. Also, if you are someone who easily gets carsick/vertigo, you might have to adjust to such strong noise cancelling. At first I would feel nauseous but after about a week, I didn't have any other issues with nausea. You can turn the noise cancelling off in the Sony app if it's an issue so you can ease yourself in to using the ANC all the time.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones offer outstanding sound quality, with rich bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. The noise cancellation is exceptional, effectively blocking out unwanted background noise. They're incredibly comfortable for long listening sessions and feature impressive battery life, lasting up to 30 hours on a full charge. With intuitive touch controls, seamless device switching, and a premium build, these headphones are a top choice for anyone seeking high-quality audio and noise-cancellation in one sleek package.

I wanted to do am "in-store" comparison between the Bose QC 35 I have owned for about the last 2 years and the Sony WH-1000XM4. Unfortunately, the demo station in the branch nearest to where I live, never had the demo model set up properly and, besides, I wouldn't be able to compare the same music. Well, now that I have bought a pair of these great headphones and have finally done an "in-home" comparison, listening to the same song, I can truthfully say that this Sony model is superior to the Bose QC 35. While the Bose model has produced very good sound and the noise cancellation has been excellent, the bass on the Sony is much stronger and the overall clarity of the music is noticeably sharper. Also, the Sony app provides a much superior Equalizer experience for customizing your own settings, allowing you to set up TWO custom pre-sets. The Sony even feels more comfortable than the Bose which wasn't ever UN-comfortable. The Sony just feels "softer" and "lighter" by a small margin. The Sony app even allows a more custom fit by allowing you to measure your ears using photos you take. Until recently, BB was carrying the previous model, the Sony - WH -1000XM3 but this has been, I'm guessing, phased out for the slightly more advanced XM4 released by Sony in 2020. My needs for using this headphone are very basic. I don;t really use the voice or phonecall feaures, so I'm not in a position to state how well that works. I did use the volume feature on the right earcup, (no button, you simply raise or lower the volume by running your finger vertically up or down the earcup exterior), and that worked fine and the connection between the Sony app and the headphones paired effortlessly. All in all, I'd say that, soundwise, (especially because I like extra bass), these are superior to the Bose QC 35, and are worth the price if you want the more expensive noise cancellation headphone experience.

TLDR in advance: try it on in store before you purchase to make sure it fits. Good for big ears. Better sound than the bose imho. Tried in store before I purchased. To me they sounded better than the bose quiet comfort 45 which was the only real competition. They also fit over my ears better because I have big ears. I also have been accused of having a big head and these weren't too tight. A friend of mine with a much smaller head and smaller ears said it felt huge on her head so its not sized for everyone. I recommend trying it in store. Noise canceling is good. Obviously it's not shooting range good but if the world around you is too noisy putting them on helps block out the noise. Probably shouldn't use the noise canceling while attending children for safety reasons because odds are you won't hear them screaming from the next room over. ;) That being said you will probably hear them screaming in the same room it will just be dulled. You can also turn off the noise canceling. Some of the gimmick features are cool but most people won't use them. Like immersive 360 sound for some subscription based music services (Not spotify). It sounds cool but im not paying a monthly fee for one music source to sound better. Especially when all the others still sound pretty good. The feature to temporarily hear your surroundings when noise canceling is active was also cool but odds are you won't use it often if at all. Overall they're cool noise canceling headphones that sound good. The app works on andoid well but I didn't do any testing with an iphone. Price is a little high but would recommend.

I've been using these headphones for a few months now, and I'm thoroughly impressed. The sound quality is exceptional, with clear highs, balanced mids, and deep bass. The noise-canceling feature works wonders, blocking out background noise and allowing me to fully immerse myself in my music or podcasts. The build quality is solid, and they feel comfortable even during extended listening sessions. The battery life is outstanding, lasting for several days on a single charge. Pairing them with my devices was effortless, and the controls are intuitive and easy to use. Overall, these headphones have exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether you're a casual listener or an audiophile, I highly recommend them for their superb performance and value.

[Employee of bestbuy] This is the perfect non “ luxurious “ listening headphone that you will find in the market , I didn’t get the latest one ( xm5 ) because they don’t fold but the 4 does and it’s perfect for traveling , on top of that it comes with an adapter to use it in the airplane. They are super comfortable and can be used with glasses and you won’t get tired of them and the noise cancellation is Insane ! I love how quick 5min charging gives you 10hrs of battery life ! And I love how the buttons are touch screen. Best headphones

Great battery life. Sound is crisp and perfect ANC. Comfortable to wear for prolonged hours.

Touch panel is WAY too sensitive. I’m talking don’t raise your arm or they change songs type sensitive. I had to turn the panel off, which is a good feature but absolutely sucks if you’re working out. They’re comfortable but if you wear glasses they’re terrible; I’m sure most over ear headphones suck for glasses users. The noise-cancellation isn’t bad but it’s not as good as my AirPod pros…the little white earbuds. I chose these over Bose because they sounded better in my opinion. I’ve worn them on the plane and they were better than my AirPod pros for that purpose, which I literally purchased them for the plane. So they’re good for what I bought them for but musically there are better headphones out. These only sound good because I fixed the EQ; they should have sounded good right out of the box considering the price. For comparison I tried the Bose equivalent of these and could hear EVERYTHING with the noise cancellation on BUT the Bose sound better musically. These, I can not hear the TV while standing right in front of it at a decent volume. I’d catch these on sale, definitely do not pay full price. I might add that the battery life on these is insane. I can go a month or more on a single charge using these 3-4 days a week for 1-2 hours each of those days. When I say insane….I literally forget where I’ve placed my charger because I don’t use it often.

Absolutely in love with these headphones. They're pricey but worth it. The sound is amazing and the noise cancellation is great. I can wear these for a long period without my ear hurting, which is honestly a huge plus. I assumed they were going to be heavy but they actually aren't. Another thing is the battery, I charge these once a week or two.

I grabbed these on sale on 3.8.22. There was so much hype surrounding these, so I pulled the trigger. I can honestly give a review after owning them for 17 days! My taste in music ranges from bands like Rotting Christ, Behemoth, Slayer and in a flash, I can go to Frank Sinatra. Yes, I know it's a great range in genre, but these headphones keep me happy. I don't find them to be too bass happy or treble happy, but I would rather call them neutral sounding. I'm not an audiophile, but I can't find any issues with these at all. The Sony app works just fine on my S22 Ultra and it gives the ability to tweak the EQ where I want it. They are very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The noise cancelling feature is quite nice compared to my Bose QC 25's. I don't feel the pressure on my ears that I do with my Bose. Battery life thus far has been good. The longest I have had them on (on and off to be honest but still powered on) was when washing my two vehicles and my motorcycle and still had a ton of battery left. Estimated time I used them was about 6 hours. I love the color as well; the blue is very nicely done, and the picture doesn't do it any justice. The only complaint is the USB C cable is so short! I have a charging station for all my devices and the included cable is too small. I suppose if you are using your laptop and need a quick charge, the size of the cable would be fine. Are these worth the hype? In my opinion they are and if you can wait for a sale, grab them!
