Great noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Given as a gift and loved. These are the best noise cancelling headphones in my opinion. I have tried these and Bose and these are noticeably better, especially when traveling. They are fragile however so careful about dropping them.

Prefer Bose QC45
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned these and exchanged them for the Bose QC45 headphones. Why? -Way too hot and ear fatigue after 1 hour Zoom meeting. QC45s perfectly comfortable for recent 3 hour flight. -does not seamlessly pair with multiple devices. So much fiddling with Bluetooth controls to pair and re-pair between devices. Unlike QC45s, which pair seamlessly and immediately. -touch controls not very responsive. Best feature is holding hand over ear to pause music but I can live without that. -sound quality is good, but so is sound from QC45. -noise canceling is perfect but so is qc45.

Posted .Hi Matthew,
Thank you for reaching out to us. While we are glad you like the sound quality and noise canceling features of the WH1000XM4, we're sorry to hear that the headphones was returned due to discomforts while wearing the unit and pairing issues. Adjusting the headband and the earpads properly can help reduce discomfort while wearing the headphones. Multipoint is a function which allows you to connect 2 Bluetooth devices to the headset and use one device for music playback (A2DP connection) and the other for calls. Making sure that software is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements and multipoint connection is turned on using the Sony Headphone|Connect app may help resolved the issue. We greatly appreciate your feedback and we hope that you will shop Sony again in the future. Thanks again for purchasing Sony. - Kris

Great for Home or Mobile Use
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They work great, not ideal for studio quality sound engineering, but apart from that the best pair of headphones I've ever owned. If you need studio quality, get wired.

Posted .Thank you for your fantastic review, toastmalone!
We are thrilled to hear that you consider the WH-1000XM4 the best pair of headphones you’ve ever owned! That is high praise, and we are so pleased they are delivering a superb listening experience.
We also appreciate your insightful feedback on studio quality. You are absolutely correct—for the flat, uncolored frequency response required for professional sound engineering, a dedicated wired monitor headphone is always the best choice.
Thank you again for choosing Sony!

Posted .Hi user178620,
We are so glad to hear that your husband is enjoying his new WH-1000XM4 headphones! It is a great testament to the quality of the series that he chose to stick with the same model for his programming work, where the industry-leading noise cancellation and 30-hour battery life are perfect for long, focused sessions. We hope this new pair serves him just as reliably for years to come. Thanks for choosing Sony.

Nice upgrade from the trusty XM3s!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved the XM3s so much I bought the 4s a couple years later and gave my wife my 3s! The primary upgrade for these is voice calls are much better! Mic works excellently now where before it was just average. Also the dual Bluetooth functionality is great to connect to phone and laptop to use for music and work calls/Teams Calls. Battery life is awesome!
