An incremental improvement.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you don't care about multi-point connection for your headphones - the XM3 will be a wiser buy from feature and price point. I've been buying this line since XM2 and the improvements in terms of noise canceling have been good, the sound profile has not seen any huge change over the years. The bass is still punchy to the point of overbearing and the mids and treble are not as pronounced as its competitors. It's still the best of its class out there but the next model better have a refresh in design and sound profile or there's no point in upgrading these cans for the next couple of years.

Excellent Headphone Choice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of these headphones are just amazing. I use them daily on my trips to campus. Really great sound quality, excellent noise cancelling, and the over-ear build helps to keep my ears warm in the cold, which is a nice bonus. It's on the higher end of noise cancelling headphones, both in price and quality, but it's definitely worth it. Would recommend over other products.

Best noise canceling headphones I’ve used
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For Bluetooth headphones, I used to have JBL E55bt and these cannot compare to those. The sound quality is excellent and the noise canceling makes it so that I hear almost nothing. The speak to chat is a good improvement over the quick attention but the time it takes to go back to my music is a bit too long and it’s a bit sensitive since it activate it I’m laughing or humming to a song.

Outstanding!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones produce the best sounding music I have ever heard coming from headphones. I would compare the quality of the sound to some of the best studio equipment out there. The noise cancellation is perfect. I’m not sure what else they could do to these to make them anymore perfect. They are totally worth the price. Definitely get what you paid for with these.

Amazing sound and noise cancellation
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these headphones for work. Amazing features. With the Sony app, you can customize your noise cancellation, I have it to cancel all sounds except people talking to half, so I can still hear people if they are close but not far away. Has built in mics and if you put your hand over the right ear up, it turns off sound cancellation and you can talk normally with lightning quick response time.

Okayish if you like it heavy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The nice quality isn't as bad as I thought. But it could be better the reason why I'm giving it. 3 stars is because the headband piece digs into your scalp. And it could hurt, especially after hours use or if you have thin hair and the battery life is okay compared to other headphones. It tends to run out at a quicker rate depending on the volume. And setting, you have it on. But if you're a Sony fanatic, these would be better than the latest generations like the last 2 generations, aren't as good as you would think. This one, because it's thicker in the muffle area has a better. Noise-canceling property than the others, but it is heavy not to an extent. You would notice in the very beginning. But after hours use, you do notice it

Posted .Hi NicoAnd,
Thank you for the candid feedback on the WH-1000XM4. We're pleased the Noise Canceling performance is strong and that you find it superior to previous models.
We sincerely apologize for the discomfort the headband is causing during long listening sessions and the frustration with the battery life variability.
To help maximize the battery life, please check your Sony | Headphones Connect app and ensure features like DSEE Extreme are disabled, as these can increase power consumption. For the headband comfort, some users find that a third-party padded cover helps alleviate the pressure. Your detailed observations about comfort and weight are vital, and we'll ensure this feedback is passed along to our product design teams. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Oh my
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve always been a Bose fan.. I have the latest NC 700s and love(d) em. Just for kicks I decided to try the Sony competition and it’s incredible how amazing they sound. I’ve only had em a couple days now, but I can already say that sound-wise they wipe the floor with my Bose NC 700s. Let’s just hope they last and I don’t have any connection issues like I’ve had with my Sony earbuds!
