||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is very clear and the noise canceling is a great touch. I like its three settings: noise canceling, noise canceling off, and ambient control. They last for a really long time and they charge fast too!

Me likey
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the design. Love the sound quality. But if you love deep base and loud music they arent as loud as the QC 45’s. Although, they do have a cleaner sound… Overall great but definitely think about the what type of listening you’ll be doing. Also the touch remote is annoying sometimes but thats just me

The Perfect Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After over a year of use, these still look just like they did on day one. They feel sturdy but are still light enough to wear for hours without discomfort. The array of features and great battery life make these a really good value. 10/10 would recommend

Top of the line
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are replacing the M2s. I loved those and after using these they are definitely a step up. I love that I no longer need an audio cable most of all. They are very comfortable and do a superior job of noise canceling. These are the best on the market. There are plenty of expert reviews out there and all of them are spot on. This is a superior product.

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall amazing headphones, love the audio quality as a person who has bought a lot of main stream over the ear headphones. I’d say these aren’t for heavy gym users. The band is pretty will and it’ll fall when laying down in my experience

Posted .Hi Marco,
We appreciate your positive remarks on the WH-1000XM4 Headphones' outstanding audio quality, and it's great to hear they stand out among mainstream options. We understand your concerns regarding stability during heavy movement, like at the gym or when lying down, as these headphones are optimized more for premium listening and travel comfort rather than intense physical activity. For a more secure fit during exercise, you might consider our sport-focused models, which are specifically designed to handle greater movement and sweat resistance.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Great investment!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They definitely block out most if not all the outside noises. I'm happy with my purchase. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because they're bulky, touchy when working out, and they didn't come with at least a travel pouch. They worked perfectly for my flight. The battery life is on point.

Great headphones with great noise cancellation!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are easily the best headphones I've ever purchased. It took me awhile to finally decide to lay down the money for them since they are a little pricy, but totally worth it! I really struggle when it comes to finding the right headphones. Earbuds will NOT stay in my ear, no matter what make, model or kind they are...so that leaves me with over-the-ear headphones. I have gen 1 AirPods but I'm constantly adjusting them to make sure they don't fall out...which they still do on occasion and it's really frustrating. I also fly a lot, and trying to listen to music or watch movies while on the plane is always a struggle because I end up holding the Pods into my ear so I can actually hear over the noise. These bad boys take all of that away. The noise cancellation feature is exactly what I was looking for and I love being able to just put my palm to the side to hear what someone is saying to me. I debated between these and the AirPods Max but these won out because of price, they aren't as heavy on my head and they come with a carrying case. Definitely worth the money! Only con, they do make my ears sweat after awhile, but not bad enough to knock them for it.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I have ever used. I have an old version of Sony noise-cancelling headphones and was very please with their performance. But THESE are way better. The size, the quality, the way they hug your ears (you tend to forget you are wearing them) is awesome. I truly recommend them. The sound quality is beyond perfect.
