Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones truly live up to their reputation as premium noise-canceling headphones. From the moment you put them on, the active noise cancelation (ANC) is remarkable, blocking out a wide range of background noise, from chatter to engine hum on flights. The sound quality is outstanding, delivering crisp highs, deep bass, and a balanced midrange, making them perfect for music lovers and audiophiles alike. Setup is straightforward, especially with the Sony Headphones Connect app, which allows you to customize the sound profile, noise-canceling levels, and other features like adaptive sound control, which adjusts the ANC based on your environment. The headphones also support multiple codecs, including LDAC, ensuring high-quality audio streaming for compatible devices. One standout feature is the multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, allowing seamless switching between two devices—a big plus for those juggling work calls and entertainment. Additionally, the "Speak-to-Chat" feature is clever, pausing audio when you start talking, though it can be overly sensitive and trigger unintentionally. Thankfully, this can be toggled off. Comfort-wise, the WH-1000XM4s feel amazing for extended use, with plush ear cushions and a lightweight build that makes them barely noticeable during long listening sessions. The carrying case is thoughtfully designed—compact enough to fit easily in backpacks while still offering ample protection for the headphones. The battery life is impressive, offering up to 30 hours with ANC on and quick charging that provides several hours of use in just 10 minutes. The built-in microphone is decent for calls but not stellar—it picks up your voice well in quiet environments but struggles slightly in noisy settings. Alexa and Google Assistant integration are convenient, though voice commands can sometimes feel a bit slower to respond. Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are an excellent choice for those prioritizing top-tier noise cancelation, sound quality, and smart features. While there are minor areas for improvement, they remain one of the best options in their class. Highly recommended for frequent travelers, remote workers, or anyone looking to immerse themselves in high-quality audio.

The Sony headset is very nice quality. The sound is amazing and the noise canceling is the best I’ve ever experienced. I would recommend these if over the ear is what you like.

Very high quality headphones, don't regret my purchase. Comes in 3 color options which are all pretty good. I really like the comfort of them and ability to wear them all day without any irritation. I like the option of wire and wireless as well. Comes packaged nicely with a reusable case.

Honestly, I was skeptical at first because I've used airpods for a while now. But these take it up a level. They're extremely comfortable and they fit snug so they're not too tight(since other brands give you a headache if you wear them too long). For once it feels like you're actually getting what you pay for. Highly reccomend!

i love the color and the case is a good size. usb-c charging YAY. out of the box sound is good, i haven't touched the EQ. noise cancelling is great, sometimes i forget how loud noises really are when i take them off. battery life is great, i don't use them super often and i've charged them only once, they're still on 70% as of today. i can always count on them having charge. the only reason i give them a 4 star is because my ears get hot and a little sore after wearing them for multiple hours, just be weary of that.

It work amazing, super comfortable on the ears and the battery life is pretty good. I forgot to charge them one time and they still lasted me like a whole day when I used it. These also charge pretty quick for the battery life, overall it’s a good product for the price

My old Beat headphones finally gave out on me, so it was time for an upgrade. I heard about these headphones being fabulous. They are pretty lightweight and comfortable. The sound quality is excellent. I wish the battery life were a little better, although not terrible. I did turn off the automatic power-off feature because it would turn off while I was using it, so maybe that's a big reason for the battery life. I will miss the seamless connectivity between my devices that Beats provided. The touchpad seems to be very sensitive, which can sometimes be annoying. Oh, and can we talk about how pretty these headphones are? I love the tan-grayish color. Overall I would recommend these headphones.

First pair of actual real good quality headphones and can say these are amazing. Battery life is amazing that I don’t have to charge every day but rather now and then. Noise canceling is so good that when i take my headphones off i can hear everything and it makes me wanna put them back on. Would recommend for sure

The best headphones ever! The sound quality is unmatched. Truly sound cancelling. These are the best heaphones I've ever bought! Battery lasts me almost 40 hours. I use them at work in 8 hour shifts and it lasts me monday-friday.

Needed nee headphones after my kid started using my last Sony headphones and these did not disappoint. The sound is great and the touch controls on the headphones is easy to use, they are very comfortable to wear even after many hours. The noise canceling is outstanding and i could not believe how much it cut down on surrounding noise. Totally worth the price would definitely by another pair if I needed to.

Great item for those who wish to enjoy their favorite medium without the background noises. Use it on the go and lets me listen to music and books in comfort.

I went from the Skull Candy Crushers (BASS) to these because I didn't like some of the features of the SCC. The GOOD..... The ANC and Ambient sound on these headphones are amazing, best I've ever experienced. I truly enjoy the comfortability of these headphones, and the Capacitive Touch Interface is very responsive and and takes immediate action. For example, changing to the next track happens in an instant. The Bad.... However, the volume control only seems to increase incrementally and like like a slider feel. So it takes 10 swipes up to go from 0% volume to 100%. The bass on these headphones are lacking, but the audio has a luxurious balance of mids/highs. Sometimes the ANC or Ambient noise gets stuck and makes the sound quality on my Mac sound distant and not very clear. The battery life doesn't really seem like 30 hours, but I haven't taken the time to test it throughly

TLDR: amazing headphones with incredible battery life, super comfortable (no pressure headaches), adaptable for all of your needs (with a user friendly app, accessible controls on the headphones themselves, & its own carrying case), and truly noise cancelling! I spent so long debating which over the head headphones with a noise cancelling feature to buy, and I am SO thankful I went with these! I’ve had them for 3+ months now, and I am obsessed. As a very sensory sensitive person that can get very disregulated (and/or distracted) easily, these have been a lifesaver. Not only do they provide incredible sounds for all your musical + zoning out needs, they also are truly the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn, and I have not once gotten a pressure headache from them. The adaptability features makes it very customizable for your various needs, and they have worked wonders in grocery stores, social settings, for work (virtual therapy sessions - using them for hours and the battery life is insane!!!), exercise, sensory deprivation, airplanes, and literally any other possible usage. I was lucky to score an amazing deal on them for $199 right after Christmas, but I fully believe they are worth every penny at full price too. Overall, I am in love with these headphones and I recommend them 10000x over to anyone who is debating on purchasing these. DO IT!! You will not regret it. Plus, they’re very stylish, come with a cute carrying case, and has a corded option with an airport adapter. 12/10 headphones!!!

I really like this pair of headphones. I do suspect the left ear cup swivel assembly will degrade in a year or so, but for now, the plastic doesn't creak like the WH-CH520 that I had before. The sound quality is phenomenal, but when I turn on LDAC, there is an occasional dropped packet, when my phone gets unlocked, or if I switch apps. If you have a larger budget, I would go with the Sony XM5, because the swivel mechanism might be a bit more durable.

This has a very durable headphone battery with all the features that come with it but there’s a little bit of a trouble when it come to pairing it with a device that is not android and that’s why there’s a app for it but overall is a very good headphone very light and good noises canceling

It is amazing, especially for the price. It has top notch premium audio and great noise canceling. The battery life is phenomenal. I’ve had it for almost a month and I’ve only had to charge it once. The only con is that it does occasionally get slightly warm to the ears after long periods of use. Overall, still a great buy and would recommend it to others.

Sony is in my opinion king when it comes to headphones! I have owned these well over a year now and wanted to hold off on writing a review to see how the battery would hold up on these over time and let me tell you. Its battery is just amazing as well as there sound and everything else! They continue to impress me!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these headphones! The sound is crisp and clear. The design and color.... perfect. The noise cancelling feature is amazing! I had to look up how to change the setting that automatically turns off the headphones whenever I talked or even coughed....yes it was that sensitive. After I fixed the setting, I have to say these are the best and most comfortable noise cancelling headphones I have ever owned. Worth the extra $$ for this new version!

I had a beats studio for over a year before this, difference I notice is way better noice cancellation, bass is also a plus... more hard bass hits... vocals is alright... beats studio dont stay behind much... battery is better... would i go back to beats studio after trying these? Never... I already bought another set for my brother in the same week, especially on sale for $278... touch sensors havent got used to them yet but the best feature is you take em off the music pauses you put them back and plays automatically

Amazing headphones at this price range. There a little warm around the ears. I think I would have preferred bigger and a different material padding around the ears. Sound is grate.
