Not bad
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great headphones, the noise cancellation is amazing and customizable which is neat. If you want good quality music and bass go ahead and grab you a pair of these but only down side is these really can’t be used for the gym they slide of easily which is the only down side Over all good to just kick back and jam out.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great value. Awesome sound quality and noise cancelling. Appreciated that it came with an adapter for airplanes. Only con is that I wish it could charge and play at the same time. Unfortunately it turns off as soon as you plug in the power.

XM4 Bluetooth with LDAC is amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you start using the XM4's with the Bluetooth LDAC codec they transform into a hifi wireless delight. Im using the hifi Tidal streaming service for maximum effect. Im not an audiophile expert, but OMG they sound good. Right now Im hearing the "Alice in Chains MTV unplugged" in Tidal and my ears are in that room.

An absolute life changer
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re buying these for someone that deals with noise sensitivity, these are absolutely amazing. We’ve gone with other brands in the past, and nothing has come close to the quality of this headset.

Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s good. If you have AirPods Pro the noice cancellation on these are about 25% better(in my opinion). AirPods Pro have an overall more clearer sound while these ones tend to sound more cloudy BUT they are one of the clearest over-the-ear headphones I’ve ever owned. They are more bass heavy than AirPods but not as much i would want them to be. In fact, I wouldn’t even categorize them as bass heavy at all even with the equalizer. Basically they give you a nice overall sound.

very bad noise cancelling over the mic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I use this headset for a phone calls, my frind complaint for the loaud noise this headset collect, other than that, good sound with some tweak of course.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Excellent,
We are glad to hear you are enjoying the good sound of your WH-1000XM4 Headphones with some tweaking, but we are sorry to hear about your friend complaining about loud background noise during phone calls. This specific issue is sometimes caused by how the Speak-to-Chat feature is set up, or it could be related to the device's Automatic Wind Noise Reduction which might require a check in the Sony Headphones Connect app to ensure optimal performance when using the microphones for calls. We appreciate you choosing Sony and hope you can resolve this minor call issue.
Best regards, Eliab

Excellent wireless headphones.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent pair of headphones for working in a noisy office. Bluetooth functionality is easy to use. Noise cancelling muffles the sound without completely muting everything, making it possible for people to get my attention while still not being distracted by other sounds nearby.
