Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had a lot of trouble finding headphones I liked. These are comfortable (even with my rx glasses, which has been an issue in the past.) The noise cancelling is killer, but the ambient sound is just as good! Battery life is also shocking. I use them 50/50 for PC gaming and listening to music, so the ability to have two devices connected is surprisingly handy.

I absolutely love my headphones and I have been using them for 3 years. The battery life does not wear out and the installment is amazing. The headphones are very comfortable to wear and noise canceling is almost very good in loud environments. Only problem is that when you turn on the headphones, the turn on speaker is too loud and if your music is too high, the music leaks.

Sony has just made a big gamer changer when it comes to WH-1000XM4. I own 5 pair of differnt brands of headphones and another Sony headphones. These beat them all hands down. Being able to use the app has a lot to do wih that you can change the way you listen to your music if you like more bass you can have that you can make your own settings. Tese will stop playing when you talk and take out the noise cancellation so you can hear. The only problem with that is if you like to sign along with your music. So you might want to turn that function off. You can downlosd the 360 Reality Audio but that will be an extra charge you do get a trial for it from Sony. So the Sony headphone app is easy to download and you will want that for these you have all kind of functions on there to get the most of these. Battery life is great 30+ hours charge time 3 hours it has Google and Alexa Assist on these. Carrying case witch is nice thank you for that Sony. The last pair i had just had a bag not to good for protection. The phone audio comes in clear but i was told that i sounded like i was talking into a can but it didn't sound that bad compared to other brands. You can connect another set to these for sound sharing. Love that there is only 2 buttons on these makes it so nice and easy to function the swipe up and down for volume and forward and back to skip or playback. Double tap to pause and play. These will know if tou have them on your head or around your neck if they are off your head they will stop playing. I used these to power wash my deck and the next day to stain it they worked awesome light on the head easy to use the memory foam ear cups are very nice they don't get all hot over the ears. Sony knocked this out of the PARK you did a GREAT job on making these and i'm sure they will take over the market. Love the functions and the sound that come from these.

TL:DR; Better than XM5s in many aspects. XM5s have that SLIGHT edge on the sound but I am so glad I went back to XM4s after tolerating the XM5s for two months. If sound quality is your top priority, get the XM5s, they do sound better but for everything else, XM4 wins. I used my first pair of XM4s for more than a year after ended up getting the XM5s when it came out because I thought it'd be an improvement. I was wrong. This is my second pair, thats why the ownership date is near to this review. I use my headphones over 5+hrs every week day. During the day, they are in an office environment, after work, I head over to gym for another hour or so of usage. I've had an XM3, XM4, and an XM5. Comfort... Very obvious even just from looking at the pictures that these have more padding. It does have the difference in feel for sure. After returning the XM5s and putting these back on, I immediately said "oh sweet realms of comfort" ... The only thing with these are they are just a little bit short for my head. But ... I do have a giant head (XXXL helmet) so I can't blame them and it is just short... like... barely. still have no problem putting them on during a long coding stints at work. Noise cancellation... In my honest opinion, these destroy XM5s. I was excited to see that XM5s have double the mic to help with the active noise cancellation but omg they are so annoying. XM5s constantly tries to adjust the sound deadening. XM5s wont let you just set a setting for the ANS because it is supposed to be clever but does not work so you constantly have ANS adjusting the outside noise. Even if you are a chewing gum, when the cups move a tiny bit, the amount of noise that comes in with XM5s changes. If XM5s stay idle (no sound playing), it tries to be smart and turns off sound deadening so all of a sudden you hear more of whats going on around you even though you just wanted more quiet. These ... set and forget. I don't hear anything and that is a constant status not a variable. Battery... These win again. After the same amount of usage, XM5s would go down to %30 at the end of the day and go to %20 after 10mins in the gym. These are always around %50+ even after leaving the gym. Love it... Storage... These comfy cups fold. XM5s do not. These are easier to travel with or to throw it in your backpack from folding and less foot print. App usage... These give you more options in the app than XM5s because as I said above XM5s tries to be clever with ANS and fail at that miserably. For example, in XM4s, you can set the amount of ANS you want but no such option with XM5s. Sound quality... As for the lesser sound quality on these compared to 5s, XM5s have that more clear mid range so you get to hear more of the instruments. BUT ... XM5s lack the base compared to these. So I don't know if it's clear because it has less base or just clear. I say these are not as good sounding compare to XM5s but in no way these sound bad. I do like that extra bass thump I get in these so it may even preferable to some. After having the XM5s for about two months, towards the end of my ownership, I started to even forget them at home so I had use my back up headphones at work. For me to forget my headphones at home is like forgetting to put on clothes. That is how much I was let down by them. I am so happy I went back to these guys. I loved my first XM4s before the upgrade and I am loving my current XM4s after the exchange even more.

Sound Quality: Best Sound quality I've heard so far between Arctis Pro Wireless Gaming Headset, Playstation pulse 3D and Bose Noise canceling 700. However i did bump into some odd sound and connectivity issues between ps5 controller connected to the controller making the sound quality sound very muffled while pushing out 3D audio from the ps5 very odd yet im 90% sure that if you get a separate Bluetooth 5.0 Dangle to connect directly to the ps5 that would be eradicated, i hope ( i did not test that). Everything else sound quality is superb. Connectivity: This is where i had some issues, not with all devices but with the ps5 and a midrange Samsung Tv. With the ps5 there is no Bluetooth connectivity what so ever, the ps5 does not recognize the headset its unsupported completely but there is a way around it yet except a downgrade of sound quality oddly enough, by directly plugging in via headphone jack to the ps5 controller making the sound quality muffled very odd behavior, maybe caused by compatibility issues. Also bumped into connection issues via Bluetooth between a Samsung midrange TV from 2016 sound coming from ps5 directly to the tv via HDMI and then from the TV to the sony M4s earphones via Bluetooth yet i couldn't verify if it was earphones or to many sources involved yet thats what happened, but when the connection was stable enough it would deliver a better sound quality against plugging the headphones directly to the ps5 controller, it was all backwards, because i was expecting better results connecting to the ps5 for obvious reasons yet that was not the case unfortunately. Comfort: Comfortable enough up to 12hr of none stop playing video games, after that started to feel heavy on my ears causing some pain especially if you wear glasses. If you have some what warm place/apartment the do make you sweat, my place was a 75° f and i was sweating from where leather was touching my skin, something to keep in mind. Besides that very good Comfort. Battery life: Exeptional 30hrs of batterylife , 12hrs none stop video games while of line (no chat) and battery was at 45%, unlike the worst offender being the sony pulse 3D with 15hrs of battery life, from 100% to 50% after 3 hours.

These Headphones Are Seriously Next Level If you’re hunting for a pair of headphones that offer both premium sound and top-tier comfort, stop scrolling you’ve just found them. I’ve been using these headphones for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly blown away. The audio quality is nothing short of amazing—crisp highs, deep bass, and a balanced midrange that makes every genre sound incredible. Whether I’m zoning out to some ambient tracks or blasting my workout playlist, they never miss a beat. Noise-cancellation? Unreal. It cuts out background noise so effectively that it feels like I’m in my own personal sound bubble. Perfect for travel, noisy offices, or just some peace at home. Comfort-wise, I can wear these for hours without any fatigue. The ear cushions are soft and breathable, and the adjustable headband fits snugly. Bonus points for: • Sleek, minimal design • Easy touch controls • Seamless Bluetooth pairing If you’re serious about sound and want a hassle-free wireless experience, these headphones are absolutely worth the investment. They’re not cheap, but you get what you pay for and then some.

Sony Wireless Noise Canceling Stereo Headset WH-1000XM4 This headset is packed in an attractive and functional travel case. Included in the case are the headset and the cables needed for charging and connecting options. My unit arrived fully charged which was a nice touch. If yours needs charging out of the box, then you’ll want to take care of doing that first. A full charge can last up to 30 hours, so you can spend your time listening to music instead of constantly having to recharge the device. If your battery does run low, 10 minutes of charging time will give you up to five hours of additional playback, and, going from empty to a full charge only takes about three hours. So, you’re getting up to 10 hours of play time for each hour of charging. That’s not a bad deal. You’ll want to download the Sony Headphones Connect app from either the Android or Apple Store. Then use the app to do the initial set up of the headset, including connecting to your Bluetooth device(s) (You can connect to two devices at the same time). Use the app to make additional changes to your preferences as needed. One option I really like is the Speak-to-Chat feature that you can turn on using the app. This feature lets in ambient sound so that you can start to conduct a conversation with someone once the headset hears your voice. Speak-to-Chat automatically turns off the music when you start to speak, so that means you can conduct a conversation without first having to fiddle around trying to manually turn your music off. In addition to face-to-face conversations, this feature also comes in handy when you want to talk to someone on your phone. Then, 30 seconds after you stop talking, your music resumes playing where it left off. Another neat feature that I really like is the headset’s ability to let you know when you get notifications on your phone. If you want, it will then read them to you. And, of course, you can make and receive phone calls on your headset, too. Finally, it supports Alexa and Google Assistant. You control the various functions such as power, volume control and skip forward via gestures on the left and right earphones themselves. These earphones are “cushy comfortable” and the sound quality is excellent. I don’t think you’d expect anything less from a high-end Sony product such as this. It’s definitely a top-of-the-line product.

Is one of the more comfortbale set headphones that I have owned. Sound is very crisp and clear. I love the sleek look. Overall, I think the higher price than I normally pay for headphones was worth it.

My 4 is really a 4.5. Charge holds a surprisingly long time, and the noise cancelling is very good. I liked the case it comes in and they are comfortable. I feel they are a bit quiet. Also talking on the phone with them is hit or miss and is glitchy. Range also feels shorter than other devices.

I've been using these for over 2 months now. I really can't find anything that I could report as an issue that can't be fixed by changing a setting. I do notice the headband does adjust a bit too easy and sometimes doesn't hold in the fully closed position. Not a big deal since I've got such a big head, I pull them out all the way. These have performed flawlessly from day one. The sound is crisp and clear. Bass is there and my favorite bass song can be played and hear them low lows. The ANC is perfect. I work as a programmer on a noisy production floor so the noise cancel is needed! I can also continue to talk to others while wearing them. Just pause my music and can carry on a conversation with no issues. I can hear better if I remove them, but most of the time I don't need to. I love how I can connect them to both my phone and laptop at the same time. If I get a call, the music or video (playing on the laptop) pauses so I can answer then restarts when then call is done. I haven't really pushed the battery time. I'll use them for 9+ hours (with ANC on all day) then plug them in overnight at my desk. I usually have about 70% battery left at this point. I would highly recommend these if you are looking for some very nice wireless headphones.

great sound for a middle range of money, while they're not supper laud in my personal opinion i think that they're great for their generation. They deliver on everything that you want comfort, sound and great battery life. Great compatibility which IOS devices and overall great for they're price. the only down grade to them is the material that surround your ears. In hotter environment's it can cause sweating and discomfort but overall great comfort.

I have tried many over the ear headphones throughout my life especially to use when I am at the gym. These headphones are incredibly comfortable and light weight. I love the functions where I could just swipe on the right side of the ear when I need to instead of looking for buttons with my fingers to use the functions I need. The sound quality is outstanding especially the noise cancellation and if you download the app you can also customize the sounds and when you want the noise cancellation/transparency on and off which I thought was pretty neat. All the other headphones I have used always got uncomfortable to wear throughout my lifting session but these are very comfortable that I highly recommend!

These headphones are easy to recommend. While the nose cancelling is not the strongest I've ever used as it tends to block low noises better than high pitched frequencies, I'm nitpicking; these get the job done well. I am a big guy with a large head and big ears and these expand and fit over my ears just fine. The pad material is comfortable for a couple hours at a time like I use them; I don't know how they would feel for working out though. Probably wouldn't try it. The sound quality is terrific. I use them for video games and to watch shows more than music but they do well regardless of media. Battery life is solid. I charge them after a few days of use so I haven't really tested how long they last until they die, but I don't think they've ever dropped past 50% so I'm happy. The touch controls on the side are nice to have and simple enough to learn. Overall I recommend to anyone looking for a quality pair of headphones built to last.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones have quickly become my go-to choice for both everyday use and travel. The sound quality is phenomenal, with rich, detailed audio and deep, punchy bass. The noise-canceling feature is top-notch, effectively blocking out ambient noise, whether I'm on a plane or in a busy café. The comfort of these headphones is another major plus. The ear cups are plush and fit snugly without causing discomfort, even during extended listening sessions. The lightweight design ensures that I can wear them for hours without feeling any strain. The battery life is impressive, easily lasting up to 30 hours on a single charge, and the quick charge feature is a lifesaver when I'm in a hurry. The touch controls on the ear cups are intuitive and responsive, allowing me to adjust volume, skip tracks, and take calls effortlessly. The WH-1000XM4's smart features, like adaptive sound control and speak-to-chat, enhance the user experience by automatically adjusting settings based on my activity and environment. The multi-device pairing is seamless, allowing me to switch between my phone and laptop without any hassle. Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones deliver an outstanding audio experience with superior comfort and advanced features. They are well worth the investment for anyone seeking high-quality, noise-canceling headphones. Highly recommended!

Build Quality Great, Sound and Noise Cancellation! Amazing! Not heavy at all, and comfy on the ears! Color is a wet cement matte color. Not really silver which I love.

I recieved these in exchange of my honest review. Ill start by saying, wow these wireless noise cancellation headphone by Sony sound incredible. I've never been one to spend over 100.00 on a set of headphones, as normally I prefer to listen to my music through my floor standing tower speakers and a powered sub. But late at night its nice to have a decent pair of over the ear headphones when you wanna listen to music or even videos on YouTube. The noise cancellation works wonders at drowning out louder surrounding noise, and its defeatable if it not your thing also. But at this price I would assume your buying them as part of this feature alone. These Mark 4s don't disappoint in anyway, whether music or videos the sound is clear and crisp with a nice amount of bass. The headphones are very comfortable on your head and ears. I never found them to be fatiguing or uncomfortable in anyway. Just a joy to listen to, I found myself noting nuances in music I never heard with my old headphones. Also I love being able to switch/connect between my S10+ phone and my tab s6 tablet, great feature. The side cup controls for skipping tracks and turning up the volume works so well, I was surprised by how well it worked. Usually I find myself not using features like that but the ear cup controls are super easy and helpful on these sony headphones. Google Assistant is also nice to have to aid in controlling smart home features as mh lights and thermast. The only con I can think of is I couldn't get them in white, which really isn't bad. The included padded carrying case is a great added bonus for traveling, and keeping the headphones safe from damage. If you don't own a pair of these over the ear sonys, do yourself a favor and pick up a pair. You won't regret the decision one bit...

I was weary of the price but for me, it was worth it. The battery life lasts me a week at least. The noise canceling is truly unbeatable. My family jokes that if there was a fire in the house I wouldn’t notice because of the noise canceling headphones. They’re also EXTREMELY comfortable. I’ve fallen asleep with them on several times. It fits perfects on my head and I have no complaints even after wearing it for multiple hours. I have sensory issues so just having the headphones covering my ears even if they aren’t turned on helps muffles the noise which prevents me from being overstimulated. 10/10

I absolutely love these headphones! The comfort is top-tier. I can wear them for hours without any discomfort, which is rare for over-ear models. The noise cancellation is incredibly effective; it really blocks out background noise and lets me focus or relax without distractions. One of my favorite things is how lightweight they are. Unlike the Aipods Max and other bulky headphones I've tried, these feel barely there but still deliver amazing sound quality. Highly recommend if comfort and peace are priorities for you!

These are my favorite headphones. Love the sound on them. They don’t weight a lot. Battery life is good doesn’t go low so quick

I was so hesitant on splurging on a pair of headphones since the price of these are quite outrageous to say the least, but I finally hit the trigger when it was $121 off. I’ve had these headphones now for probably 2 weeks and I must say, it has become my whole personality for the rest of the year. I wear these headphones religiously, even when I’m just out doing errands or going out on my walks. I immediately put these on as well if I’m doing school work and when I do light work out at the gym. The moment I turn it on, the atmosphere around me just immediately goes quiet. The noise cancelling on them are excellent (I can not really compare them to other noise cancelling headphones as these are my first pair) along with the sound quality of these headphones. I can also say that even after hours of wear on these headphones, it has never given me a headache. I’ve had problems with headsets/headphones giving me a headache after a while of wear due to me wearing glasses since I am very much blind and these headphones are the first ones to never give me a headache, I can literally wear them the whole say and I would be fine. (I also have problems with earphones making my ears feel sore and itchy, which is why I’m looking into good quality and comfy headphones.) I also have a small head and they fit me just fine. (: Oh and I forgot to mention, but the battery life on these are crazy, I have not charged mine for probably 5-6 days now and they’re still up and going. Overall, I love them! I’m not some headphones connosseur or anything or a pro at reviewing them to their fullest extent, but they’re very nice! It’s very much worth the price (especially when you get them on sale *wink wink*) and I would definitely recommend it to people who are thinking of getting them!
