Wanna drown out your office and focus on work?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for a noisy workplace! I wear glasses and have a huge head and these do not cause pain after extended period of wearing. I wear them throughout most of the day and have to charge after every third or so. The quality of the sound is very nice although I am no hi fi expert. But these are definitely the nicest pair of head phones I now own. I was previously using some Bose over the ear head phones and they were okay but old and didn’t have noise cancelling which is what I wanted. The blue is a really elegant dark hue and was hesitant that I didn’t get black but seeing them in person I have no more quarrel with that. The price isn’t too bad for what they are.

Fantastic! Even better than XM5!
|Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] I love these headphones! They are a lifesaver on flights, the noise cancelling is some of the best on the market, as is the audio quality. The foldability is another benefit, and they are comfortable to wear over long periods of time. I would even say the foldability and wearing comfort make it better than the XM5 model.

Posted .Hi SGIL, you definitely made the right choice. Sony’s industry-leading noise cancellation evolves to further immerse you in your music. The addition of Sony’s proprietary HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 masterfully eliminates the noise around you. Listen all day with up to 30 hours of battery life. Quick charging gives five hours of playback with just a 10-minute charge.
To get the most out of your WH-1000XM4, download the Sony | Headphones Connect App. It includes Adaptive Sound Control—which automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your activity and an equalizer—which can be customized to fine-tune your music. Using our advanced noise canceling technology, we designed these headphones so you can block out noise and experience next-level silence. Plus, you have the ability to use the convenient smart features including Quick Attention, Google Assistant/Alexa/Siri compatibility, and touch controls. Thanks for choosing Sony.

Solid choice for the money
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Very good sound quality and noice canceling. There could be better insulation from outside noise and although the headphones do an amazing job in most environments, they struggle to cancel out certain noises in real time, such as in a coffee shop. I love that they can be used both wired and wirelessly, so sound quality doesn't have to be sacrificed. The app could be better and Bluetooth connectivity can cut out if multiple devices are carried together. Overall, they're a solid choice for the money.

Posted .Hi Atomicfireball,
It’s rewarding to hear that you find the WH-1000XM4 to be a solid choice, and you are enjoying the very good sound quality and noise cancelling performance! We're also glad you appreciate the flexibility of using them both wired and wirelessly.
We genuinely value your specific feedback regarding the isolation from certain real-time noises (like in a coffee shop) and the occasional connectivity issues when multiple devices are present. We are constantly working to improve our Active Noise Cancellation algorithms and overall user experience, including app features and Bluetooth stability. Your detailed comments are instrumental in guiding those improvements for future updates and products.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Recommend for hyperacusis
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these to help with hyperacusis and auditory processing issues and I recommend them. The active noise cancelling is great and surprisingly adjustable through the app (which you need to download to use them). I wear these every day and they especially help in places that are loud or have a lot of background noise. They are comfortable and the battery lasts a long time

The best noise canceling headphones
