    If youre looking for the best anc technology you can buy then get these pair! If you are on a budget then get the true wireless heaphones or wait for it on sale. Either way Sony makes some of the best ANC technology/audio quality combination out there.

    Quality is as you would expect - excellent. To get the most out of your headphones you must download and pair them with an android or IOS device, a PC is not enough. The android/IOS app is the only way to set defaults, tune the noise canceling, and update the firmware.

    I own the XM3s!!! The ability to pair to two devices and the approximately sensor that stops the music when you take them off is great - the build feels better than the XM3s. Over all a great refresh. Sony just refined a already great head phone, and honestly that’s what needed to be done.

    My son wanted noise canceling headphones for Christmas and asked for these after doing a lot of research. He loves them! I haven’t listened to them, but he has and also has borrowed my Bose headphones. He likes the sound better through these and says the canceling works very well.

      Hi EricaM,


      We appreciate you acknowledging the top-notch sound quality of the WH-1000XM4 headphones! We are sorry to hear they did not provide the necessary stability for your runs, as they are primarily designed for stable use during travel and daily commuting rather than vigorous athletic activity. For activities like running, we recommend considering one of our true wireless earbud models, such as the LinkBuds Fit, which are engineered with secure-fit wing tips and an IPX4 splashproof rating to ensure they stay comfortably and securely in place during movement.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards, Eliab Sony_US
