Great Purchase!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If ever you see these headphones at 100 or less, you should most definitely buy them. They are worth it a hundred percent if you can’t get the XM6.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had some beats studios from a long time ago that was not performing like it used to. I did a bit of research and these headphones were a great upgrade. The sony app that the headphones require is user friendly and will turn on only when the headphones are. Noise cancellation is awesome. Lots of other great features but it would make this review into a story. I would highly recommend anyone that is in the market to try these bad boys.

Best in everything except comfort
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is about a 4 out of 5. If you have music playing then you cant hear outside world which I like most so 5/5. If you want to hear outside turn on ambient sound. I am not fan of Sony due to their customer service or I would say I had bad experience in India where they ask me for repair cost in warranty product(no physical damage). But based on reviews I found this Mx4 is best suitable for me and I found it perfect. These are not comfortable somehow to me. My ear starts paining after 1-2hrs of usage and I thought I will get used it by now(4 month later) but same issue. I do have Sony's MDR-XB950B1 and used them for 3 years and they are extremely comfortable and I never had problem using them long hours. But these MX4 are not that comfortable, they feel comfortable when you use them for couple of songs but if you are travelling and using more than hr or you might feel that pain or may be its just me.

The best noise canceling headphones available
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best noise canceling over ear headphones hands down. I’ve tried all the big main manufacturers. Sony XM series are without a doubt the best ones out there for that money range. Highly recommend! My only complaint is that the new XM4 vs my old XM3 it seems as the battery does not last as long, but with a 30 hour battery life I’m still happy.

Slight improvement over last gen Sony XM3
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ANC on XM4 seems to be slightly improved over XM3, especially in the bass region. Otherwise nearly identical to XM3 in sound, fit & finish, and tech- which is a good thing!

Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones. I never tried the new Sony line of the noise cancelling headphones but I was pleasantly surprised. However, I feel like using them to talk on the phone is not so good, the other person has trouble hearing me when it is noisy around me. Also it comes with a bag and an airplane adapter and a cable which is very convenient.

Posted .Hi DanS!
We are thrilled to hear you were pleasantly surprised by your WH-1000XM4 headphones! It’s awesome that you’re enjoying the excellent sound and comfortable fit and having the handy bag, cable and airplane adapter makes it super easy to take them anywhere.
Thanks for being upfront about your experience with phone calls in noisy spots. The headphones use smart microphones and noise cancelling tech to help catch your voice, but in busy places, it can sometimes be tough for the other person to hear you.
If you often need to take calls in busy places, trying to find a quieter spot or adjusting features like Sidetone in the Sony | Sound Connect app can sometimes make your voice clearer for the other person.
Thanks for choosing Sony. We really appreciate you sharing your feedback, it helps us make our products even better!
Sincerely,
Estefany

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sound amazing and are very comfortable to wear. However, I am disappointed that it doesn't block out as much noise as I expected. Not any better than my previous ear buds. But they do sound a lot better and I'll continue to use them!
