Amazing headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these headphones. As a musician I like to listen to my mixes on many different outputs...studio headphones, phone, bluetooth headphones monitors, car sound system. I wanted an over the rear blue tooth pair I ch could review my music or just enjoy others. I bought another pair right away for my guy! I love the voice recognition pauses so you can talk to someone else leaving them on. I would highly recommend this product. Oh! And it holds its charge beautifully. I charged mine 3 days ago and i use them daily. The only thing i could give a con to at this point is the ease of adjustent of headband sizes without hitting sensitive controls. Not really a con as prob just takes more familiarity. I have s small headHey, it's Sony.

Pricey but good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones overall. I got mine on sale for about 270ish and while it was still a little pricey, these are great headphones. Setup was relatively easy and the app offers many features, including a great eq (the headphones are too bassy out of the box), and different levels of ambient sound. The noise cancelation is amazing, and works well for bus rumbles and airplane noises. The battery life is also extremely good, and they dont need to be charged very often. They look very premium as well and dont look or feel cheap. My only gripe really is that the microphone isnt very good for calls. Besides that, I would highly recommend these headphones if you are willing to spend the money or wait for these headphones to go on sale.

Posted .Hi Juan,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM4. We're glad that you like the dedicated app (Sony Headphones Connect) noise canceling function, battery life, and design of the headphones.
We also appreciate your review about the call quality of the headphones. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is updated (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). These steps may also help when using the mic function of the headphones:
-Keep the headset away from a microwave oven, wireless LAN device, etc.
-Bring the headset closer to the Bluetooth device. Remove any obstacles between the headset and the Bluetooth device.
-Keep the headset away from a TV.
-Re-establish the connection between the source device and the headset.
-When using a video calling application on a computer, switch the Bluetooth connection to HFP or HSP with the computer. During a video call, sound quality may become low due to the conditions of the communication line.
-You can also check the settings of the app that you are using for mic sensitivity if available.

Better in every way including BT connectivity
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the previous XM2 version years ago and used it often when flying or on conference calls. While the sound and noise cancelling were excellent, the BT switching was terrible between devices. NOW, with teh XM4 they seemed to have fixed that to allow switching between TWO devices relatively seamlessly. The sound quality has improved and even the noise cancelling seems to cover higher frequencies than before. The cans fit more comfortably as well. It should be noted that when shipped, the two device feature was not yet included and a firmware update was required. This was not clear until I called Sony support and they walked me though it. Also, I experienced some odd shutoffs during conference calls due, I think, to my AC running at high and possibly confusing the talk feature. I will experiment further next call. The instruction manual and help pages need overhaul. The pictographic explanations are lame.

Phenomenal noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these specifically for their noise cancelling capabilities. They do that extremely well. I can block out all of the background traffic and office noise easily without even playing any music. They also excel at music reproduction and the app allows you to tailor the equalizer to your liking. I worry about durability as they are made of plastic and have hinges but so far they seem fine. I only need to charge them every 3 days or so. They can connect to two devices simultaneously.

If you have the money, get them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had these for a little over two months now and they’ve been great. I got these headphones in particular after being told they aren’t harsh on the ears, which is an important thing for me. They fit and feel wonderful, even with all of my earrings on. As for the actual sound of the headphones, everything sounds great to me. The noise canceling is especially great since I use these in noisy environments and hardly anything distracts me from my work when I have these on. So if you are looking to get headphones, these are a great option.

Love These Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have really been enjoying these headphones. The sound cancelling works wonders and the sound quality is amazing. The touch feature to control audio and playback works well. One thing I really liked was when taking off the headphones it would automatically pause your music and restart once you have them back on your head. Ive spent hours listening to my favorite songs and revisiting them again in a better sound experience.

Best headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did my research before deciding to purchase them. I saw these on sale last year around this time and I did a big mistake thinking they would be on sale a few weeks before Christmas but they weren’t and I ended up buying them but I returned them because of the price which was full price. So when they came around the holidays again this year, I didn’t hesitate when I saw the price drop to the same one as last year. In my opinion, they are the best ones comfort sound and price. I’d rather buy these than the Apple headphones.
