Excellent headphones - def recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are reviewed as one of the market's best, so I had pretty high expectations. They're comfortable to wear, sound great, and look good. I would definitely recommend them. My only complaint is the passive noise cancellation works so well that it makes my ears warm.

A solid headphone.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From the perspective of a college student, these are really great headphones as they are comfortable to wear for extended time periods and I especially love their noise-canceling feature. Would also recommend downloading the Sony app as this allows you to customize the headphones further to your liking.

Like this new headphones over Bose
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already owned one Bose QuietComfort 35 II wireless Bluetooth headphones. The sound is great, but it can't cover my ears fully which makes the noise cancellation function less effective. I tried the new Sony WH-1000XM4 at a local Best Buy store and really like the comfort and sound quality. : )

Another great product from Sony
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My favorite headphones, yet I will say that the touch controls are a bit finnicky at times, so I have them disabled. Other than this minor point, the sound quality and the noise-canceling are rivaled by few. The color is also a nice matte finish that is neutral enough to not stand out. These come with a carrying case and pack down well enough to travel with. I recommend wearing them around your neck though!

Perfect for people with sensory issues!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1,000/10!!! I would 100% recommend. I was between this and the AirPod Pros, and I love these. They’re so comfortable and they’re more affordable. I’ve had them for almost 2 years now, and I still love them so much. Their battery life and sound quality is still good, but my favorite is the noise cancellation and the comfort. It fits around my ears instead of on them, and the ear pieces are so plush and comfortable. As someone who has sensory issues, these are perfect. I got them for grad school and continue to use them often.

Not the newest, but the best?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These XM4's are just what I needed. My XM3's are dying and the XM4's have updated Bluetooth to allow for multiple device connections. These may be two versions old, but the XM5/6's do not fold up as compactly and, as reviews point out, the headband may be slightly tighter. ANC is great and the sound is balanced.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of Headphones. I prefer these over the Beats over the ear studio because they're much lighter. Way more comfortable to wear. I wish they were wireless with the new PS5 but hopefully they'll come out with an update that allows them to. The Best Buy exclusive navy color is gorgeous.

Posted .Hi Timothy,
We are really happy to hear that your new headphones are providing the peace and quiet you need to focus!
The industry-leading noise cancellation in the WH-1000XM4 is specifically designed to filter out a wide range of frequencies, including those sharp, high-pitched sounds like a clicking keyboard. By using our Dual Noise Sensor technology and the Integrated Processor QN1, the headphones can effectively silence the world around you, allowing you to stay fully immersed in your music or work without any external distractions.
Thank you for making Sony part of your daily listening.
Best regards,
Dominick

Even better than the XM3s!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Almost identical design to the previous generation (apparently the foam on the ears is a little bigger?) but they have a few new features that warranted the upgrade for me. As with the XM3s, amazing sound, comfort, and noise cancelation.
