Great headphones with quirks
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones work really well overall. The noise cancelling is excellent, the sound quality is strong, and they are comfortable enough to wear for longer listening sessions. The main annoyance is the automatic detection and touch controls, which can be a little too sensitive or trigger when I do not mean for them to. Even with that, they are still a very good pair of headphones and I am happy with them.

Decent headphones but…
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent headphones, good bass and ANC but coming from an airpods user or someone im the apple ecosystem, was a huge downgrade. Not to mention the inability to change settings of the headphones on a mac (main reason why i got it).

Posted .Hello, Ahmad.
Thanks for the comment; it is really important for us to know the overall experience of all customers, as Sony is always looking forward to improve. We understand the Sony | Sound Connect app is not available on Mac devices, but it can be found on your iPhone on the App Store. Nevertheless, we are glad you are enjoying the ANC, as the WH1000XM4 is known for its outstanding noise-canceling capabilities, which effectively reduce ambient sounds, and its capability to deliver deep and powerful bass, which can be further enhanced using the Bass Boost feature in the Equalizer settings. Thanks for choosing Sony!

These are incredible
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down the best headphones I've ever purchased. I started using these on Christmas daily, and there is still 30%. I've put in over 19 hours worth. They power on and pair quickly. Most importantly, the sound Incredible. Especially if you have a service like Amazon Music where they support Dolby Atmos and 360 Sound. I've never looked forward to listening to music after such a long day. These do the trick and then some.

Posted .Hi OctavioV,
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying the excellent noise cancellation, sound, and battery life of your WH-1000XM4 headphones. A key feature that makes their noise cancellation so effective is the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1, which works in real-time to analyze and process noise signals over 700 times per second. This allows the headphones to block out a wider range of high and mid-frequency sounds, giving you a truly immersive and distraction-free listening experience.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have a great day!

Expect Sony Sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise canceling is great. Not quite as loud as I would like them to be but overall sound is very good. Construction is not quite as robust as I thought they would be. Great value compared to competition.

Awesome sound but weak build quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is excellent. Clear, crsip, music with plenty of bass for most types of music. Wouldnt recomended if you only listen to rap. Mostly using it for pop, kpop, jpop, jazz. 80s and 90s. Build quality weak. Made of plastic, not expecting to last more than 2.5 years. Previous sony headphones broke at the swivel by the ear piece. Nice carry case, great battery life, decent noise canceling especially on flights. Slighty pricey, look for a sale and handle the product with care.

Former Bose, new Sony Fan!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the 700 Bose headphones first, and while the sound was 'good', had too many issues with connections and with the Source List in the app not working when I needed it. Switched to the Sony headphones and couldn't be happier!! All my issues with Bose are nonexistent with the MX 4s. Longer battery, better sound (imo), better functionality with the controls since you have twice the surface area to work with... and the cheaper price is the icing on the cake!

Amazing headphones
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Genuinely the most comfortable headphones I have owned. Charge lasts for a very long time. The app makes dialing in the custom EQ very user friendly through a system of option one or option two choices that tailor the sound to your liking which made it perfect for me. The noise cancelling also makes it so I’m not having to use a high volume which is great.
