Beware - Not Worth the Investment
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these less than 6 months ago for sole use as my office headphones. I only used them while working and made sure to keep them protected in their case while not in use. A few weeks ago, plastic at the right the ear cuff joint began snapping off and the piece has continued to disintegrate. It is now unwearable and functionally useless. I immediately contacted Sony and although the product is within warranty, they refuse to cover "physical damage". There was never an incident that would have caused this damage, so I'm very disappointed in these headphones and am now researching alternatives! I now know that there are many Reddit threads about this exact damage occurring. This was a terrible first experience with Sony customer service and I will be avoiding their products moving forward.

Best active noise cancelling headphones!

Posted .Hi Jerry, you definitely made the right choice. Sony’s industry-leading noise cancellation evolves to further immerse you in your music.

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.

Best headphones I’ve ever owned!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Former Beats user. These are far beyond beats in every way. Tons of features and adjustability. With multiple levels of active noise cancellation. Wish I would’ve bought these sooner! The only thing that could be better is lack of iPhone support like beats and AirPods

The best around ANC Headphone you can buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With several upgrades from the previous version the The WH-1000-MX3, Sony perfected these headphones. The upgrades are the multiple pairing, the speak to chat, slightly bigger ear cups, slightly better ANC, and slightly better sound quality, The XM4’s are simply far and away the best al around.

Incredible Headphones! Best in the game!
