Favorite Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones so much. They sound amazing, the ambient noise option is good if you're walking around outside so you're aware of any traffic or people nearby. I use the noise-canceling when I travel to block out any outside noise. Charges quickly and the battery lasts forever.

Stellar headphones for noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones! I needed a pair of noise cancelling headphones and these didn't disappoint. There are 3 noise cancelling settings, and I've found the off setting still drowns out enough noise. The max setting it boots with each time is wayyy too strong for my taste and it's a weird sensation having no noise at all thanks to the noise cancelling tech. Anyone who needs zero noise will definitely appreciate that though! The headphones themselves feel premium, and the case is wonderful! Very easy to take on trips. Audio itself is just good, but given all the features and quality of the headphones, that is fine with me in this case. I would recommend these to anyone looking for over-ear noise cancelling.

WH-100XM4 Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing headphones! You can hear a lot of the detail. The balance between the vocals and bass is perfect. The Noise cancellation on the headphones is great. It doesn’t cancel out every single thing but other than that it is good. The app it comes with as well is leagues above the others.

Great Value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased in 2025 at less than half the price of the then current model XM6. I'm willing to pay for the best if I can afford it, but value matters even more to me. I didn't notice any difference between the two in minimal testing, so saving about $200 was the right choice for me.

Posted .Hi WeiszGuy,
We are pleased to hear that you found such excellent value in the WH-1000XM4! While newer models like the WH-1000XM6 introduce specialized features such as an upgraded 10-band EQ, improved transparency mode, and the ability to listen while charging, the XM4 remains a fan favorite for its comfortable folding design and industry-leading noise cancellation. We agree that the "value-to-performance" ratio of the XM4 is hard to beat, and we're glad they are providing the premium experience you were looking for at a price that works for you.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
