Sony XM4
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is great. The fit leaves a little to be desired. This is the first headphones I’ve had where it feels like either my head is to small or my ears are set to high up. On all my old headphones the ear-cups needed to be adjusted down. On this set the ear pieces are all the way up and the band over the top of my head really doesn’t touch anything. Again though they sound good and have a decent play time whether using noise canceling or not. The only way I would recommend is to physically sit and wear them for an extended time. These are over the ear headphones and I initially thought they felt good. It was a little later I figured out they really didn’t git as well as I originally thought.

Great battery life and noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing! Im so goad i got them. They are incredible at noise cancelling and look amazing. I’ve also gone WEEKS without charging- bow this was using maybe only for a couple of house (5-6) but still amazing! The only thing is, the headphones can slide off my head a bit when movinf but i don’t mind too much.

Sony makes the best headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfy, easy to wear, especially with glasses. It has 3 modes: Noise Cancelling, Ambient Sound and Off and the noise cancelling is very good. There are some minor things like the battery and sensitivity to voice but nothing that is hard to get used to. It also folds up and the case is very hard so it protects. Overall I love these headphones.

Excellent Headphones
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best set of headphones I've ever used. I'm not an audiophile or anything like that, though. I mostly just use them while working or while cutting the lawn (noise cancelling works great as ear protection and the music is a bonus). They are very comfortable and they sound great.

Audiophile Wonder
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony is known for high end audio, and this is no exception! Even better than the MX3, the bass is really deep, and the high end is clear with easily discernible vocal notes. You can hear instruments individually, not all meshed together. This really makes a difference in your enjoyment of music! I was considering the Bose 700, but Sony offers so much more flexibility on their app to let you control the performance. You won't be disappointed in this choice!

Quiet Ears = Quiet Kids
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is a direct correlation between how noise cancelling my kids headphones are - and how noisy they are to others. This keeps the noise in both them and their ears

Absolutley amazing sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted these headphones for a while because my work changed to work from home, my cheap headphones finally broke so I ordered these finally when they were on sale. I wish I would have bought them a year ago, they sound absolutely amazing, I was worried because I listen to a lot of metal and usually the bas isnt there in cheaper headphones, but these sound amazing. I highly recommend them.

One of my Best Purchases!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. The sound is fantastic and the noise canceling is top notch. I’ve gotten used to the touch controls. One of my favorite features is the connection to 2 devices. I switch between my iPhone 12 Pro and IPAD seamlessly. I created my own equalizer setup in the app and use it all the time. The case is handy and it is a quality built case. Battery life works as advertised. Just put on Shazam’s top 100 (Apple Music) sit back and enjoy.

Great sound 4 your money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price and sound quality. My 3rd pair they last easily 1yr- 1 1/2yrs. Unfortunately my last pair stopped charging. Sony offers a good warranty, however I use them daily and couldn’t wait so I bought another pair.

Posted .Hi WiseShopper,
We are delighted you appreciate the great price and sound quality of the WH-1000XM4, and we truly value you choosing them for your third pair. We are sorry to hear your previous pair had a charging failure. Since you couldn't wait for a warranty claim, for future reference, charging issues can often be resolved by using a lower-wattage charger (like the port on a computer) or performing a soft reset by holding the power button while plugging the cable in. We hope your new pair provides you with many more years of excellent performance! Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Great noise cancellation and sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have excellent sound quality and the noise cancelling lives up to its reputation as best-in-class. The headphones are also very comfortable (I wear them for between 2 and 4 hours several times a week). I cannot recommend these highly enough, especially if you can catch them on sale. I'm not a big fan of the app, but I also haven't used it very much. I primarily use these while on my computer, which works well.
