I like them very much
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was choosing between the Bose 700 and the Sony WH-1000XM4. I checked professional reviews for both and thought the Sony was a little ahead, plus price was lower than the Bose at the time I bought it. It is an excellent headphone, and don't regret choosing it. I like it that is wireless, the battery last for days, on the kind of use I have for it. I use it for Zoom meetings, for listening to music on my laptop, and to watch videos and listening to music on my phone. Noise cancelling is excellent, and has other alternatives that allow me to listen to my surroundings. Added to that I like the feature that allows me to pause the sound on he headphone by just putting the palm of my hand on the right ear headphone, so I can talk to someone or listen to anything that might be happening around me. Also I like the feature that I can control the volume, pause songs, advance to another song and more by gesturing on the right ear headphone.

10/10 headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones. The noise cancelling on these is very effective and blocks out around 90% of surrounding sounds. The soundstage is also very wide and the base is very good. Battery life last for multiple days as well

Bad as in really good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well.. ive been saving up for these for a while now.. i work nights and its extremely hard for me to sleep during the day.. i figure l try out sonys anc and listen to some meditation music and see id that works.. the xm4s literally saved my life.. i sleep like a baby every day.. super comfortable, blocks out almost everything when i have some light music playing.. and sound quality is top notch definitely the best headphones ive ever had.. especially with the app you can really fine tune them to fit what your going for.. xm4s are on point! Only minor gripe.. is that i have a really small head haha so most headphones come off pretty easily.. i do wish they made the adjustments a little more accomodating for that.. but its still a lot better than most headphones in that regard.. again super comfortable.. 5 stars for sure!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I highly recommend these headphones. No doubt about it, they are expensive. But I definitely see it as an investment and not so much “breaking the bank”. If you’re annoyed and want to shut out the world, THESE ARE THE HEADPHONES FOR YOU! If you want to feel like you’re in the studio whilst listening to your favorite song, THESE ARE THE HEADPHONES FOR YOU. No joke. Also, they double as earmuffs lol because the ear part is very cushy. Anyway, 10/10, I definitely recommend, plus I would get the warranty… I’m an anxious person and I always get it just in case lol. ONE DOWNSIDE, I feel like on the website the silver color looks more cream colored, and in person they give more silver/gray. I didn’t like that at first but it grew on me!

Sony-WH1000XM4
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At the time when I purchased these I was beginning to get tired of earbuds and wanted to try something different. When I bought these it was like a whole new world of music was unearthed to me. Definitely a worthy purchase as it completely changes the way music sounds. The audio quality and noise suppression plus the comfortable fit makes these a top choice.

I Love The Sony - WH-1000XM4 Headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Sony - WH-1000XM4 during the Black Friday sale to program to my Bluetooth on my 2022 Samsung S95B OLED 55-inch 4K Smart Television to watch sports, HBO-Max, Showtime, Starz, Epix, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. I love these Sony Headphones and the noise cancelling. The sound quality of these headphones is awesome. I originally purchased the Samsung - Galaxy Buds2 Pro but they didn't feel as comfortable in my ears and sometimes they would get loose in my ears and fall out. Also, I get up to 30 hours with the Sony Headphones before they need recharging. I can practically watch television all day before I need to recharge them. The Samsung Galaxy Pro 2 Earbuds only last about 5 hours before needing to be recharge

Best headphones I've had so far.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As an audiophile, I've been looking for noise cancelling headphones that also have good quality sound and range. These have checked all the requirements so far, and more! They're comfortable to the point I can wear them 8+ hs a day, and switch between meetings and music seamlessly. The noise cancelling is so good my roommates need to signal to me in order for me to look up. I thought the gestures were going to take some time to learn but it hasn't been the case, they're intuitive. The remove noise cancelling to talk works really well. Too well sometimes. I'd be walking close to someone talking and it will activate. The option to have two devices connected hasn't worked for me so well, I had issues switching from my phone to my laptop with the result of the laptop switching back to its speakers. It might be my MBP, I haven't tried with other devices yet. She sound quality is excellent, as expected from Sony, the sound is crisp and balanced, with a good range.

Great Sound, Light weight, not easy pairing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XM4s are great sounding noise canceling headphones. They’re comfortably fit around my ears for hours. The main positive is its weight. I really only downside is the controls to pairing and unpairing is difficult.

Comfort, quiet, and AMAZING sound
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I looked for a very long time to find a pair of comfortable headphones that have great noise cancelling (flying even during covid) and amazing sound. I can say that these more than meet the bill. I have ZERO complaints about the sound. The noise cancelling is amazing - especially with the ability to temporarily let ambient noise in to hear overhead announcements and the speak mode. The comfort, while important, was beyond expectation. Anyone that wears glasses or now has a face covering on for hours at a time knows just how bad the pressure can be behind the ear. I'm happy to say that I have worn these for many hours through airports and flights and was very happy with the comfort.

Worth every penny
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is nearly perfect. Very comfortable without being too heavy on the head. Worth the investment and a little more cost effective. Just because they are the older version of the XM5 does not mean you lose out on quality at any point.

New Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony Wireless Noise Canceling Over the Ear Headphones are the one I will hang my hat to say that I love them. Love the the clear sounds of the music I listen to as a dj I can actually hear the highs and lows of the the music. Clear sound of the spoken words I can actually hear the words very clean and clear. I also have the ability to turn on a setting that will allow for automatic stoppage of my music if a call comes in or if someone walks up to me while wearing these headphones. The fit over my ear is comfortable and not pitching. Nice snug fit.

Very nice headphones but the BTH connection
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are very nice headphones with excellent noise cancellation qualities and I originally purchased it bc of the awesome reviews I’ve seen online however I don’t know if I’m the only one experiencing this but sometimes the headphones will unconnect randomly and if you use the duo connection for two devices. On most occasions the headphones will first connect to the other device before the one you want to if that other device is close enough. I use an iPhone XS Max and an iPad Pro 3rd Gen as the two devices I use the duo connection on. I found that this problem usually gets solved when you turn off this feature but because I use it so much and find it inconvenient to turn it off and on through the Sony app before using the headphones I just deal with it (that or I just move my other device really far away so that it won’t connect to it). If it weren’t for that I’d give these headphones a full 5 stars but yeah this is basically the only problem I had with them. Leaving on a good note though these headphones have the best battery time I’ve ever seen having upgraded from my regular airpod pros. After 5hrs of use these headphones still have enough juice in them to go another 3hrs! Def recommend to anyone looking for a good noise canceling headphones with long battery life.
