Exceptional
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned pretty much the previous 2 generations of this and this model is by far the best. It’s lighter, and I love how we can finally connect to 2 devices! Took them long enough. I’ve been a fan of the touch features and being able to hold a hand over the ear cup to let sound in. Now you can enable when you speak for it to stop playing and that’s super convenient but of course can be annoying sometimes too. But I definitely recommend these over any of the other headphones on the market.

Top of the line Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They have ready great sound. HPs are very customizable for a person's noise cancelling preferences. They are very comfortable to wear. Damien, Store Manager, at Arundel Mills MD store gave me the sale discount because the sale price had ended unbeknownst to me 2 days earlier. So I got a ready great price.

Good Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So let me start off with, I returned the headphones. The noise cancelling is awesome and it has some great features. Also, these are very comfortable headphones, although they are very light and can easily be bent. As an audiophile want-a-be, I thought the sound was very good, but not great. I prefer the sound of my Sennheiser M2's although they are not nearly as comfortable. (the Sennheiser M3 is out now for $399). Sound is subjective so try them out first and compare to other products.

Solid pair of headphones!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones for the reduced price. Audio quality is solid and the Bluetooth has been very handy while traveling. Took a little time to get used to compared to open ear. Battery life is a little less than expected with certain settings enabled.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed review, TobinD!
We are pleased to hear that you found the WH-1000XM4 headphones to be a great value at the reduced price and that you are enjoying the solid audio quality and very handy Bluetooth feature while traveling.
We understand that switching from open-ear headphones requires a slight adjustment, and we appreciate you giving yourself time to get used to the sealed fit. We also acknowledge your feedback regarding the battery life being a little less than expected when certain features (like full ANC or certain codecs) are enabled; performance can vary based on usage settings.
We are glad the XM4s are serving you well on the go!
Thank you for choosing Sony!
