    First pair of cans since 1972. Those were great wired headphones from Koss. Well, these are very different to say the least. And they are excellent. I'm no audiophile, no question. But love my jams regardless. Light, comfortable, easy to use. Sound is rich, full and clean. The Active Noise Cancellation comes in handy when daughters, granddaughters and dogs come over. I'm keeping them.

    I've owned several different pairs of headphones from several different manufacturers, and these are by far my favorite. My last set was actually a pair of Sony wh- xb900n's, which I liked but wasn't blown away by. These blow them away. I like the fit of the XB's a bit more, but these aren't uncomfortable at all. The sound paired with the noise-reduction makes buying these a no-brainer.

    These Sony headphones are amazing! The headphones are designed to be both comfortable and stylish. The sound quality is impeccable. The only con I would like to point out is that sometimes the headphones will automatically connect to other devices they have been paired with and will refuse to connect to my current device without holding down the bluetooth button and pairing again.

      Hi hellocorky,
      Thank you for an amazing review! We're glad to hear that you like the comfortable fit, stylish design and great sound quality of the WH1000XM4. We're sorry to hear that you are having issues with Bluetooth communication on the headphones. If you touch an NFC-compatible smartphone to the headset while the headset is connected to another Bluetooth device, the connection switches to the smartphone (One-touch connection switching). However, the connection cannot be switched when talking on a headset connected to a Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone.

      When an NFC-compatible smartphone is connected to the headset, if the smartphone is touched by another NFC-compatible Bluetooth headset or Bluetooth speaker, the smartphone is disconnected from the headset and connected to the Bluetooth device.

      If you need assistance, feel free to contact us by send us an email with the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com.

    I exchanged the newer, more expensive XM5 headphones for these XM4. The XM4 is much more compact in that it folds up tightly and fits into a smaller, more transportable case than its newer sibling. The noise cancellation is fantastic and I often cannot hear my wife when she is calling to me. Fit is of course very subjective. I do not have a huge head, and I wear glasses. The headphones seal well and physically isolate sound to augment the noise cancellation. I even tried them while mowing the lawn and they successfully muted mower engine roar while I listened to tunes. They do feel a bit tight after a while but that's why adjusting them when removing them from the case is so important. I adjust the sound profile in the Headphones app to deemphasize the bass and the sound works well for me. Attack and frequency response seems good on music and speech adding both intelligibility and nuance to movies, music, and speech. I am no audiphile but I can recognize good headphones and these are absolutely perfect for me.

    Love these headphones. Bought them because I was going to be flying for 10 hours and I lost one of my air pods pro. The noise cancellation is excellent. Didn’t hear the airplane engines and I was sitting by the wing. They were comfortable on my ears. Love the app you can download because it includes an equalizer you can adjust for didn’t music genres. Overall happy with my purchase.

    My girlfriend absolutely loves these. She said she honestly cannot find anything wrong with them. Great sound and noise-canceling (she uses these in a hectic work environment), clever mute feature, easy connection to her cell or PC, comfortable. These come in several nice colors, but they did not promote this in-store. The price is a little scary, but comparable to competing brands.

    Amazing audio quality and extremely comfortable. I can wear these all day and forget that they're even on. Also love the controls and sound customization options. Definitely the best pair of consumer headphones you'll ever buy. The only complaint I have about them is that the headphones occasionally pause for no reason. Maybe, it thinks I'm talking when I'm not(it pauses automatically when you start talking) but it's slightly upsetting when that happens(which has probably been about 5 times in the month that I've had it.). Other than that, it's a solid pair of headphones.
