Highly Recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.these are the best headphones i have ever had. there’s a bit of a pressure feeling (like if your on a plane) when you put them on due to the noise cancellation. Saying that the noise cancellation is a 10 out of 10. only con in the touch sensors aren’t sensitive enough so it’s a bit hard to pause,skip, lower volume,etc. p.s. i also don’t think there’s not much of a difference between these and the m5. these are better price for same awesome quality .

Forget Bose
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been looking for good noise cancelling headphones that also sound good. I found that the bose headphones did a good job in the noise cancel department but really did not impress when it came to music playback. These sony's have done it all and stand above all others in striking that balance point. Overall these headphones are fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone looking for bluetooth, wireless, noise cancel, headphones that don't sound like muddy bose's.

Great for kids with autism!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for 15 year old daughter with autism. Noises bother her and affect her life negatively. She heard about these online and begged us to get them for her. Without hesitation we did so and it has been a great purchase. She can ride in car, go out in public and restaurants without being over stimilated now.

Decided I had to have the M4's when they went on sale, they work great. the noise cancelling feature does a good job of cutting out harmful noise in both of them, Music sounds amazing with these. the mic works well for calls even in noisy enviroments. Easy to configure the way you want.

Surreal Sound and Noise Cancellation!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Right out the box these headphones are amazing for noise cancellation and just submerging yourself into your playlist. I mainly use these for hitting the gym and I love how I’m just vibing in my own zone. A bit of a hassle when I make any sound and it pauses my playlist to allow me to hear outside noise but aside from that, great headphone which I really enjoyed purchasing at a discount!!

Posted .Hi Rich,
Thanks for giving the product a perfect rating! We're extremely pleased to hear you are very impressed with the excellent noise cancellation and incredible audio of your WH-1000XM4 Headphones. Good to know that your investment is worth it. We're sorry to learn the headphones pauses the music when you make any sound.
The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when it detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, but in rare cases it may activate in response to the voices of other people, ambient environmental sounds, transportation announcements, etc. Disable Speak-to-Chat in cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident. If you want to enable it, hold 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel until you hear the voice guidance say, “Speak-to-chat activated”.
You can also use the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app to switch between enabled/disabled, change the sensitivity of the automatic audio detection, and change the time until the Speak-to-Chat mode ends.
