Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Sony WH-1000XM4 is a stellar pair of wireless over-ear headphones that delivers an exceptional audio experience coupled with unparalleled comfort. The sound quality is truly impressive, offering a well-balanced and immersive audio profile. The headphones boast powerful bass, clear mids, and crisp highs, creating a rich and detailed listening experience across various genres.

Recently bought these to replace a pair of Bose QC 35ii's that'd I'd been using for travel for several years, and the leather had finally given way (and aftermarket replacement ear pads just ruined them). I've always liked these Sony's, and bit the bullet and switched. Overall, I do really like these. They are a tick heavier than the Bose equivalents, but not all that noticeable even with a few hours of wear. The sound equalizing is really nice, and a big differentiator from Bose. Really strong bass. It's more noticeable which is L/R compared to the Bose. It's a little thing, and maybe I'm just a moron, but there's a visible difference. The 3.5mm cord is a lot heftier than what Bose provides. I never broke mine, but I was always worried it would happen. Great battery life. A couple negative marks (and why I can't give them 5 stars)... The "vacuum" created with ANC is a lot more noticeable to me than with my old Bose headset, and I'm not in love with that after using these on a few trips. Also, I'm not in love with the lack of buttons and dependence on touch "gestures" for controlling volume, skipping, and pausing. I also worry that, over time, there will be visible wear on that headphone (right side). At least for volume, it'd be nice to have more tactile control (see people's complaints about touch screens on cars). Definitely would recommend these though if they're in budget. All-in-all...great set of headphones.

I purchased the Sony-WH-100XM4 based on all the positive reviews I’ve watched online. The Headphones are comfortable and light. The sound is great for Bluetooth headphones. Noise canceling works great too. The battery last a long time with Noise canceling enabled. The headphones can connect to two devices at once. The Headphones use touch controls for those interested and you have to download an app to adjust settings. I would certainly recommend these if you’re in the market for a new pair of noise canceling headphones.

I've had my eye on these for a while. I had been holding out because they are a bit expensive. So far, definitely worth it. Noise-canceling is great, very comfortable, they feel nice and sturdy and come with a g hardshell case, battery life is solid, and the touchpad controls are a very unique feature. You can connect to multiple devices at the same time. I also really like that you can customize the sound using the mobile app. Don't know of any other headphones that do that. I will say, if there is no music playing, and the noise-canceling feature is on it feels like there is pressure in your ears. But that's not a big issue.

A little background, I have been enjoying my silence in the office during the lockdown as most people either be working from home or coming in shifts thereby creating an extremely peaceful work environment. Fast forward a couple of months, people showing up in the office increased exponentially and so did all the gossips they had to share. So I bought these headphones on a whim. There hasn't been a single day in the office that I have not used them. They are amazing in all respects. Let start in the order of qualities I appreciate in them. ANC: The best feature of these headphones for me is the active noise cancellation. All the chatter and bs is just blocked to the point where you can enjoy a dumbed-down version of the silence. Make no mistake, they will not completely make your environment similar to pin-drop silence but be rest assured you shall feel the difference for sure. Battery: I don't care about the numbers but there hasn't been a single day that I have run out of the juice in them. That doesn't mean they won't but just means if you are judicious enough to keel an eye on the battery and keep charging for a couple of hrs, you are good. In case you do forget, good old wired technology is for your rescue. Sound: It's SONY, enough said. The sound quality is amazing. The sound stage is wide, well balanced, and yes the EQ does come in handy for a bass lover like me. Build quality: You get what you pay for, so since you paying the premium you do get lightweight, well build headphones. The headband is comfortable. The ear cups have the right amount of cushion and do not get bothersome even after 10hrs of use. That is the max I have tried on a single stretch. The ANC feature can make you feel a little uncomfortable with weird pressure feeling but I could live with it for 10hrs. EXTRA: Speak to chat, amazing function when in office worst when you are at home and your jam comes on. The touch on the right ear cup is flawless. Every time I want to execute a function, it is done. Final: I would highly recommend this investment.

It has very good quality sound i would recommend this headphones and the noise reduction also works well and it is comfortable its not too tight

I returned my Bose 45s for these, and I’m super glad I did! I got the blue pair when I wanted the black, because they didn’t have them. I gave it a try anyway. These are far superior! The ease of connection, the swipe to control the music without touching my phone, and you hold your hand over the cuff to cancel the noise control. I love these and wear them at home, work and the gym! If your considering these- don’t hesitate! You’ll love them! They are very light and even after hours I am not sweaty at all. The app is easy to use also. Thanks Best Buy!

Great new color! I have a few Sony over ear headphones, and these are the latest pair. They offer great overall sound. The highs are high and the bass is palpable! Another great offer for this set is that the battery life has been extended further. I have paired these with many items so far, and the customization offered by the app is just outstanding. These are a great investment for those who travel, like NC, or for people who just enjoy headphones that provide excellent sound quality. I got these on sale. If you see these on sale grab them quickly.

I researched a lot of headphones like beat solo 3, studio beats 3,and Bose QC45, and I found that these models of Sony's beat all of them. You can do the research yourself and you'll come up with the same result that these brand of Sony's are far superior in noise cancelation than the other models that I've mentioned bose comes in an incredible 2nd place beats noise cancelations are trash. The sound quality on the Sony's are fantastic. The seamless touch interface on these headphones are fantastic. I recommend these headphones for anybody that wants quality NCH with great sound. I can vacuum my entire house I can do my laundry and never hear any of the machines running or the vacuum running when I'm listening to my music. Well done Sony.

Very comfortabel,lightweight,sounds great,easy controls, and long battery life.

Bought these to replace my Beats, so far they’ve been great. The battery easily lasts the week and I use them daily. They’re comfortable to wear and don’t feel very tight around the ears (like the Beats did). Noise-cancelling works so great I don’t even need to put music on sometimes. All that said, I don’t like how they stay connected to the last device they were connected to as I switch between my phone and mac often. The volume adjustment or the pause function by touch seem to lag. I really like the voice when you’ve been connected. They are a bit pricy but I still think they’re worth it.

The Sony headphones are just what I needed. I travel a lot by air and the ANC feature blocks out nearly all the ambient sounds without having to turn the volume way up. The sound quality is full and rich even at low volumes making relaxing very easy. The battery life is good. I don’t have to worry about charging often seeing that a 3 hour usage still left me with over 90% of battery life remaining.

Had no problems pairing with my TV. Though it seems to be a bit of a hassle to pair with a second item. Can be done, but not worth it to do right now for me. Audio range and sound are good. Not as nice, crisp or dynamic as my Monster DNA headphones (but they are wired). They are quite comfortable, can wear them for hours binge watching TV. Which is what I got them for - being up late watching TV without disturbing others in the household. Battery life is great! Could binge a few days on a full charge. I only need to charge once a week. Packaging and quality are good. Was not interested/concerned with noise canceling, but now that I have it, it is nice. Works well. Was not even aware of it at first, but one time I removed them and realized all the noise it had been removing (furnace, clothes dryer, ext.) Very aware of how much this does now and appreciate the feature. Not having to adjust the volume up or down every time the furnace kicks on or off is nice.

My main purpose, in buying these headphones, was to get excellent sound quality in a wireless setting. These certainly provide that. The noise cancelling is very good as well. The headphones are also very comfortable and reasonably light, comparable to my wired headphones. Battery life is quite amazing- I can go 1-2 weeks without charging. It appears well made, with a quality feel (esthetically not super exciting, but that is OK) The 360 audio feature is nice, but I am perfectly satisfied without it- limited to a few sources (like Tidal, with premium level subscription), and not worth it for me. Movies sound great. Highly recommended.

Great audio and excellent bass performance and long lasting battery so I can listen to my music all day long. It’s a comfortable fit and no irritation want so ever. The noise cancelation does not cease to amaze me it’s as if I’m in my own world, just me and my music. Over all these headphones have elevated my music experience and was an excellent purchase.

These headphones are amazing. They bring tracks that I have listened to countless times to life and shine a light on details that I never noticed before. That may sound poetic lol but it’s true! They’re very comfortable, although my ears get a little warm while wearing them inside where there’s air conditioning. However, these are my first over-the-ear headphones and maybe that’s the way it is with all of them? Call quality is not very good so if that’s very important to you I would consider other options. The app interface and customizable settings are great, and so is the ability to connect to two devices simultaneously. Highly recommend.

Love my headphones, beautifully designed, comfortable, fits well, and I love how well it blocks out sounds around me when listening to my music.

These are much better than the ult wear if anyone is wondering, Ult wear’s are not good. I purchased both and returned the ults immediately and kept the xm4’s. for $200 or even $150 I can’t recommend the ult. Xm4’s are clean and clear in all areas and similar bass as the ult. The old sony xb900n are vastly better than the ult in everyway, new is not always better for the ULT. XM4’s for gaming it’s surprisingly very good. Clean bass and soundstage is good for closed back, some gsmes im finding myself hearing new sounds and shocked out good they are for gaming. As Someone who games with the audeze maxwell headphone ($300) the xm4 are better than maxwells when gaming wired to a controller. (Consoles) very impressed and on sale for $200 its a great buy. These will stay in the collection

Great sound, comfortable to wear & great noise cancelling! Buy! Long battery life too.

I love these headphones. They have probably the best noise canceling you’ll ever have. Great speaker quality they are amazing. I’ve had the previous generation and they’re all so just as great. Only thing I kinda don’t like is the sensor other than that it’s amazing I love. It’s also really comfortable.
