I would recommend this to a friendSony mark 4
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second time purchasing this product. I initially bought a pair for myself and decided to buy a pair for my wife, because she kept stealing mine! They’re that good. Highly recommend. I also opted to buy these even with the mark 6’s available, because these headphones are reliable and get the job done in so many ways!!

That is a wonderful compliment to the WH-1000XM4—so good you needed a second pair! It sounds like your wife has great taste!
It’s completely understandable why you chose the XM4s again. They truly are an incredibly reliable and high-performing pair of headphones, and many people appreciate their perfect balance of excellent noise cancellation, superior sound quality, and exceptional comfort for long listening sessions.
Enjoy your two pairs of fantastic, reliable headphones!

Zoom Calls + Good Base + Multi-device Support
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones, perfect bass, good for Zoom calls with in-built 5-microphone system, and nice noise-cancellation.

XM4's are great! (If cash isn't an issue)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely incredible headset! Separates instruments well, can handle some bass, great and full sound, very good noise canceling. Noise canceling is best when playing a little higher than 50% volume, and truly helps you disconnect a little bit.

Sony headset
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love my sony headphones they are very good quality and they sound amazing
I would recommend this to a friendExcellent upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own the twos and figured it was time to upgrade to the fours and although aesthetically there may not be much difference besides color options the sound is really great & being able to connect to two devices helps as well. Dry confrtoable and light in weight.
I would recommend this to a friendOver Ear Headphones Done Right!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been very pleased with these headphones. I was originally looking for Beats or Bose, but the Sony headphones had a lot more consistent reviews. The noise canceling is good, but the snug fit, big pillowed ear pieces, and contoured design make them extremely quiet, without even turning them on. The sound is clear and concise with good bass notes.

No brainer upgrade from XM2
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very noticeable improvement in the noise cancelling over the XM2 model. Also like the quicker charging AND the fact that they feel the same but are nearly an ounce lighter than the XM2. Definitely worth the upgrade. Probably wouldn't upgrade from the XM3 though.

Awesome headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best noise canceling that I have ever had. They are comfortable to wear for extended time and sound great. The app to control them could use some improvement. My Beats Studio 3 headphones work more seamlessly with iPhone but aren’t as comfortable to wear.

Best wireless NC headphones 2020
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is crazy good and they sound good for what they are, not up to the level of Sony's audiophile grade headphones but they still sound pretty clean and are enjoyable to listen to. They're pretty comfortable aswell and have a good battery life.

Better than AirPod Pros
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are some excellent headphones. I have had apples AirPod pros for 2 years and I loved them but they always lacked in the sound quality department but as soon as I put these on everything changed. These are the best sounding headphones I have ever had. From the smooth highs and the perfect base these are a great buy for those who just want amazing sound quality with all the bells and whistles that all these earbuds have and The noise cancellation is a lot better than I thought it would be.
