    Got these headphones about a month ago and they have been great. Battery life is a strong point as well comfort and all the different configuration options just confirm these are top of the line. Sound quality is also outstanding. Got them in blue (only on Best Buy) and they price matched them almost no questions asked. Couldn't be happier with the product and the store.

    Woah, you need these in your life you want to listen to music that has a crisp sound to it. It’s very easy to hear everything down to the beat in the song with these. Even if you listened to a song in repeat, and felt you listened to it well. Truth is, you didn’t listen to the song well, UNLESS you listened to it with these bad boys. Essentially the questions that are most important, is the battery life good? I could listen to these for 4/5 days and still not having to charge them. Does the sound leak? Yes it does. But it’s very minimal unless you put it at a high volume regularly to blow out your ear drums you will have no problem with sound leaking. Does it work after months of having? Yes it does, BUT there are some points where the headphones stop working or pause when you’re listening, like the audio will go in and out after a while.

    I've purchased these headphones twice now. The first set lasted a couple of years' worth of heavy use. I love that I can pair it with two devices. The noise cancelling is decent. It recharges VERY quickly in only 10-15 minutes. The app on the android (my phone) is a better than the one for apple devices (my iPod). The second pair tends to have a few minor issues, but I am still happy with them in comparison to if I went with the next model. I had also looked at a few other companies, but found this set was still the best value for your money (on sale) and functionality.

    Great sound, good battery life, noise canceling is up there with the best of the best. Found them on sale for $178. These XM4’s sound considerably better than 90% of the headphones in this price range. I can comfortably wear these for hours on end. If you value sound quality, noise canceling, battery life, and comfort you cannot go wrong with these headphones.

    Did a lot of research before buying the xm4’s. Really like the sound quality and adaptive sound. Very comfortable for wearing on long haul flights. Plus a battery that lasts there and back. They do make my ears sweaty after a while. All in all like these better than Apple AirPod Max, Bose or Beats.

    I purchased these headphones as a gift for my husband over 2 years ago - he loved them immediately and he still does! The noise cancellation is impressive, and the additional features (such as muting music and allowing sound through when it detects the wearer is speaking) are so helpful. These work great and hold up over time!

    I honestly loved the sound quality imbedded within these when I had them. My partner has her pair still & I try to snag em from here when they’re not in use. If you’re looking for a great pair of headphones for your commute or just mere enjoyment of music, podcast, heck even tiktoks lol these are a really solid pair of headphones. I will say that when using them to speak up while using the mic as it picks up the voice fairly low & at a decent quality. It’s no shure mic but it gets the job done & battery on these is fantastic, no problems whatsoever for myself & everyone else i know who also owns a pair. App is user friendly and lots of configuring can be done, there’s literally a setting for everyone! Enjoy.

    Had the first gen Sony ear headphones from years ago but wow they have come a LONG way. These things have incredible base, crisp sound, a great app that allows you to customize sound and control settings as well as are super comfortable. Lastly noise cancelling is out of this world and invaluable for flying.

    I bought these headphones to block out noise while studying. They do a great job and blocking out most noise. If it isn't too loud I can use them without music and block out all noise with just the noise canceling on. If people are close to me talking I will put on some low volume music and that does the trick. You can also just hold your hand up to your right ear piece or just begin talking to temporarily pull in ambient sound. It actually listens to your surroundings and plays it in your headphones, so it doesn't sound muffled and there is no need to remove your headphones just to have a quick conversation. Quality is great as well as sound quality. I have never measured tye battery length, but i regularly use them for long days of studying for multiple days without charging them. They can be charged while wearing them though, so you are set either way. They do have dome 360 surround sound feature, that sounded really great in the demo. Just know that it only works with certain apps that I had never heard of before. I use spotify and it is not compatible. Hopefully it will be someday, but i am perfectly happy qith the sounds quality as is.

    Excellent headphones. Much better than their newer sibling. I tried the XM5s for a few weeks as well and the only thing I found to be a little better was the quality of sub bass. However it was outweighed by the horrible comfort of the XM5 touching my ears constantly, and I returned them. Enter the XM4, in my opinion the finest in Sony's wireless full size headphone lineup, excellent sound signature with lots of tuneability thanks to the Sony Headphones app. Very versatile for a variety of genres and far better noise cancelling than the XB900 I had previously. Best of all the XM4 comfort is great too. A little shallow in the earcups but nothing a little readjustment of the headphones can't fix. And nothing like the awful XM5s with their paper thin earpads! Long live the XM4!

    This headset has fantastic battery life, exceptional noise cancellation, and is pretty comfortable for long listening sessions. What really sealed the deal for me though is the programmable EQ and wired connectivity option. I’m able to plug these in to either my XBX or PS5 controllers and still enjoy my custom EQ so long as the headset is powered up.

    Sound quality is great. The noise cancellation is not quite as good as my Bose QC35IIs, but the sound quality is better and makes up for it. The touch controls work flawlessly. They’re also very comfortable and I’m getting about 25 hours of use with noise cancellation before having to recharge. I’m happy with them.

    I have been wanting these headphones for a while and finally picked up a pair. I have been reading reviews online pitting these headphones against the Bose QC35II and the Bose 700. Headphones are so subjective in taste; bass response, sound-field, musicality, timbre and many more ways headphones are evaluated. These headphones really work well for me. I recently used my headphones on a trip and these worked phenomenally on the airplane. The headphones also connected to my smart TV via Bluetooth for late night quiet viewing. These are very lightweight and the ANC is great. These are part of a team of headphones in our home and due to cost, I am very protective of these. I own two pairs of JBL’s and a pair of Beats Studio 3’s that are daily cans. I am still getting used to the app and the different eq settings. I was able to get these on sale which was another plus. I am fully satisfied with my purchase!

    I purchased this specific model based upon a friend's recommendation. He and his brother-in-law swear by them. The goal was to purchase headphones to enjoy hands free operations while on Zoom calls for work. This was a splurge purchase as I did not initially intend to buy high-end headphones. But since I did, I'm very happy that I took advantage of post-Thanksgiving Day sale prices!! :) The headphones are incredibly comfortable. I enjoy listening to YouTube videos and making calls using the Blu-tooth feature. It was so much fun walking around my living room talking to someone while not having to hold a phone!! At some point, I'll return to the office and that's where I'll fully utilize the noise cancelling features. The App is easy to use and the provided instructions are easy to understand. There is also the extra benefit of many useful YouTube tutorials for these headphones. In conclusion, I'm happy using the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones for Zoom calls and regular phone calls. PS - I chose Midnight Blue because the color reminds me of one of my favorite songs sharing the same name! :)
