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!

Good replacement for last pair
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 4 years of use on my old Sony pair, the right ear went out. I went with these after looking at other Sony models, mainly due to price and the specs I wanted -- wireless, noise cancelling, over ear. Talking features are great (noise cancelling turning off when you begin speaking), as is noise cancelling. These aren't as comfortable as my last pair, but do have a slimmer profile. Carrying case is a nice touch. Battery doesn't last nearly as long as my last pair, but given that these seem to have more going on inside, it makes sense.

Practical and stylish
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nothing beats these in value or style. Noise canceling is great, surround sounds makes me feel like I’m at the movies, and they make me look cool. Only feature I don’t like is the speak-to-chat. I’ve disabled it multiple times but, since my family likes to steal my headphones, it keeps reactivating. They’re easy to carry and work even better using the analog aux cable.

Ok but far from perfect.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are really good headphones, but I like the second version more. These are lighter and sound better. The battery is nowhere near as good as the second version. These last two work days and end up with less than twenty percent battery left over. Version two would last at least three full days. These also squeak on my glasses when I turn my head. I can hear it even when I’m playing music loudly. The control pad doesn’t seem to track gestures as good as the second version.

WHAT!?
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for my wife and she couldn't handle the noise canceling/air pressure while listening to music. I ended up using them myself for a few days and they are amazing. Honestly the best sounding wireless headphones I've ever used. The noise canceling is incredible and the features work flawlessly.

Sony Rocks
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones at this moment, they notch the Bose or at least tie it. Bose have been my favorite headphones for many years but now I have decided Sony at least for now. The larger ear cups cover the ears comfortable, the strong base is strong a tight but not abusive strong, easy Sony app available for the phone. If Sony keeps it up, they would be top on my list for some time.
