Posted .Hi Timothy,

Thank you for making Sony part of your daily listening.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First pair of cans since 1972. Those were great wired headphones from Koss. Well, these are very different to say the least. And they are excellent. I'm no audiophile, no question. But love my jams regardless. Light, comfortable, easy to use. Sound is rich, full and clean. The Active Noise Cancellation comes in handy when daughters, granddaughters and dogs come over. I'm keeping them.

Best headphones I've ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned several different pairs of headphones from several different manufacturers, and these are by far my favorite. My last set was actually a pair of Sony wh- xb900n's, which I liked but wasn't blown away by. These blow them away. I like the fit of the XB's a bit more, but these aren't uncomfortable at all. The sound paired with the noise-reduction makes buying these a no-brainer.

Excellent Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony headphones are amazing! The headphones are designed to be both comfortable and stylish. The sound quality is impeccable. The only con I would like to point out is that sometimes the headphones will automatically connect to other devices they have been paired with and will refuse to connect to my current device without holding down the bluetooth button and pairing again.

Posted .Hi hellocorky,
Thank you for an amazing review! We're glad to hear that you like the comfortable fit, stylish design and great sound quality of the WH1000XM4. We're sorry to hear that you are having issues with Bluetooth communication on the headphones. If you touch an NFC-compatible smartphone to the headset while the headset is connected to another Bluetooth device, the connection switches to the smartphone (One-touch connection switching). However, the connection cannot be switched when talking on a headset connected to a Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone.
When an NFC-compatible smartphone is connected to the headset, if the smartphone is touched by another NFC-compatible Bluetooth headset or Bluetooth speaker, the smartphone is disconnected from the headset and connected to the Bluetooth device.
If you need assistance, feel free to contact us by send us an email with the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com.

10/10 Exquisite Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable, stylish, and audio quality is fantastic. The microphone isn't as great - when on a call you can hear the other line perfect but when you speak the caller has difficultly hearing you. Fabric around headband is delicate so take care not to drop or scratch. Overall excellent headphones and super comfortable!

Great wireless headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I owned the WH-1000XM3's and loved them. Great sound, flawless pairing on two devices, and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. My only complaint was an intermittent, faint static sound that only was noticable between songs. The XM4's sound even better with no static sound. You won't be diappointed.

Exceptional headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My girlfriend absolutely loves these. She said she honestly cannot find anything wrong with them. Great sound and noise-canceling (she uses these in a hectic work environment), clever mute feature, easy connection to her cell or PC, comfortable. These come in several nice colors, but they did not promote this in-store. The price is a little scary, but comparable to competing brands.
