Amazing

The only thing is somethings they can fall off because they are a little to big. But overall I love them

Nice small incremental update. Prefer over XM5
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Couldn't get used to XM5's as you can't comfortably wear them around your neck the same way as those the ear cups can't bend towards you and your chin smacks them any time you turn your head so I ended up with these. I use these for nearly 8 hours a day while working and they feel slightly heavier than the XM3's I had before and added to the weight discomfort but I can tell the audio quality and noise cancelling is somewhat improved over the XM3's. I thought I'd like the auto pause when you take them off but having to hit play again just because I'm adjusting them or want them to keep playing music while hanging on neck does get mildly annoying

Awesome! If it’s not broken don’t fix it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 2 pairs for my wife and I. I had the previous generation 1000xm3 and I loved them, when I heard that the 1000xm4 was coming out I sold the xm3. I they look more are less the same except a few additions like the on ear sensor that’s inside the left ear cup. The cushion on the top of the headphone is smaller. They also took away the ambient noise control button. Out of the box they sound just as good if not slightly better than the xm3. I love the new features they added like, connecting to two devices at the same time, when you talk the headphones let’s ambient noise, and when you take them off it pauses what ever you’re listening too all in all a great product! I’m more than satisfied.

Excellent Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My only other set of noise cancelling headphones were the airpods pros and these are significantly better. It is somewhat eery how silent it is when they are turned on and on sound is playing. Good battery life and easy to switch between two devices.

4 is better than 3
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the WH-1000XM3 headphones. I nearly wore them out after 4 years of use and would still have them if they weren't stolen. The WH-1000XM4 are better in everyway. My old XM3 would let noise in even in noise cancelling mode. When I wear the XM4 I can't hear doors open or close or my pets. I can't hear outside noise like I could with my old headphones. This is a bonus for stuff like flights. It's terrifying when I'm at home. I don't use these at home because I can't hear anything outside the headphones. I went with the XM4 over the XM5 because I feel like the headband is sturdier and would fit my 63 cm circumference head.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Before I decided on these, I picked up Bose NC700, and I prefer these over the Bose. I find them more comfortable than the Bose, and they sure sound better to my ears. Highly recommended, especially if you find them at a discount.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound. App is amazing. Only thing is that the pads get greasy a little easily but that isn't a deal breaker. The EQ is amazing once you fine tune to your liking. Also comes with 3.5mm cord as well as an airplane adapter, which is great.

A nice upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Haven’t had a pair of headphones for 3-4 years. After my last pair of Sony headphones broke & played out I just stuck with in-ears. But I really did miss them so I purchased these at a nice sale. The sound is great and the noise canceling does what I need it to. The volume is great as well. Even on low I still can’t hear much unless it’s something really loud in the background. The only thing I’d suggest is immediately changing the settings on the app for the noise canceling. Out the box, the feature that turns noise canceling off and lowers the volume when ppl approach you to talk or whatever is super sensitive. Thought I got a defective pair since the sound kept cutting out every time I breathed, blinked, or thought about breathing or blinking lol.
