Better than xm5
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned the xm5s because they were uncomfortable and these are soooooo much better. Not only are these far more comfortable, they sound better too.

Really Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow, I can't believe how great these are. I've had a couple of sets of noise canceling headphones in the past, all were on ear and I never really cared for them, these are so comfortable I could wear them 24 hours a day. The noise canceling is fabulous and they look great. Going to Paris soon and can't wait to use them on that flight.

Really work for noisy neighbors
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was down to trying these noise canceling headphones (THE BEST) or possibly doing something that would end up in court. Upstairs noise was really getting impossible to live with. As soon as we begin to hear "Henrietta Hippo" begin her baby elephant walk we put on our WH-1000xm4's and cannot hear anything but what comes in from the T.V. or stereo. Peace at last. Use with MEE transmitter/receiver so both my wife and I can enjoy our lives again. Also good when one of us wants to sleep while other listens to or watches something else. WORTH EVERY PENNY and a lot cheaper than moving or hiring a lawyer to work out a plea bargain.

Amazing sound quality. Very comfortable.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been shopping around for a pair of ANC headphones for a while. I’ve used the Bose 700s, Bower and Wilkins PX7, and the WH-1000mx3s. I loved the mx3s but the fit was a bit uncomfortable for longer periods of time. That’s not the case with these new mx4s. The extra cushion feels great and they feel very light. Overall an excellent pair of headphones. Best in its segment!

The sound quality is insane
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You would think for a pair of headphones that is over three years old that they would sound as if they would be falling off in sound quality . But that’s where you would be wrong they still hold up to be some of the best sounding headphones to date. Also, I know people don’t like to download apps for a lot of things, But the app that works with this pair of headphones Is worth it because of all the features that it holds you can have a custom EQ you can tweak different options in there. The pass-through is really nice as well. There’s a lot of great features.

Own two pairs
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones, waited years to buy a set of headphones because of cost and couldn’t find anything I liked. Bought these about a month ago and I have no regrets. Ended up buying my sister a pair as she loved them as much, if not more, than I do. Definitely worth the price you pay for what you get, quality is fantastic, very comfortable to wear, easy to use.

Nice quality headphones to spoil yourself with
||Posted .

They set up very easily with the Sony headphones app and provide excellent surrounding noise cancellation. The battery life seems good as well. The case is nice and charging seems relatively quick.

9/10 if you ask me
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are probably the best headphones i’ve bought. Personally, I love how you can customize the sound and the bass when listening to music. It’s like like I can hear each instrument while also being able to hear the song. Only thing I don’t like is that I can’t connect them to my PS5 via bluetooth, using the cord can be annoying at times.

Perfect for Morning/University Commutes
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these!!!! They block out 90% of regular noises that I would normally hear on buses (light fixture buzzing), arguments, drunk party goers, and etc. They also make it more likely for me to have my own sense of space when I am anywhere. I get to be comfortable and well contained in the spaces that I'm in, like a I'm the only person in the world. The noise cancelling features, atmospheric pressure adapter, and different sound modes are added benefits that you never know you needed until you have it! I also have sound more headphones but these ones best them and I always have them on even in bed. They are also a beautiful black color and I am wearing them out but they aren't really showing signs of wear or waning sound quality. Best impulse purchase ever!

Better than the previous
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely when getting these I was a sceptical but honestly I don't regret the purchase. Definitely a huge improvement with the noise cancellation than the xm3. Also the ability to use no with just one but two Bluetooth devices is a plus for me since I do tend to use it with my phone and laptop. Also the comfortably has improved for the ears. Great product! Thanks Sony!

Worth the cost
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These things are amazing. Haven't had a problem at all. Battery lasts forever and easily connects to my computer and my phone seamlessly. Worth the money, and IMO better than the Bose on my own big head. My only minor complaint is how my glasses push against my head for a longer session, maybe 3-4 hours straight, but that has nothing to do with the product.
