    Amazing Sound AND Features

    I received Sony - WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones as a gift from my father-in-law. I'd been researching brands and models for months and finally asked for advice from someone more knowledgeable than me. My father-in-law decided he'd just buy me the same ones he bought for himself. The sound quality is phenomenal and the features included are fantastic. Super comfortable, durable and decent color selection. I love them!

    Amazing

    After hours of research, I decided on the Sony WH-1000XM4. I was traveling and I needed something noise canceling. Everything is top notch for me with this headset. The fit is great. The sound is amazing. Truly noise canceling. I have recently started listening to audio books before drifting off to sleep. Even laying on a pillow the comfort is better than I could have asked for.

    ANC not So good

    Sure sound quality is not bad and pretty good. It's pretty comfortable too. ANC does good job of blocking low frequency noise. But no way in heck does this block out people voices which was my primary use case. Sigh. I am still searching and looks like xm6 might be the way to go. Listed my xm4 for sale on Carousell

    Buy at own risk

    These are 200 pounds and the battery broke within 2 months. Won't charge anymore. Try to go to Sony support and it sends me to an AI chatbot - no other options. If you buy these they will break.

    I went back to my 14.99 dollar headphones

    No light indication working at all, don't know if I am charging, I wait and then it tells me I'm still at 10% charge. The charging USB CAVLE is a wonderful 12 inches long if that, so you can't even use it in most of the time, unless you want 300 dollar headphones dangling, here's an idea, longer wire, and if I can't find a way to charge this crap, SEND A CHARGING BLOCK IN THE BOX SO YOU KNOW WHAT TO USE AND YOU KNOW IF SOMETHING IS WRONG OR IF YOU'RE 10 DIFFERENT CHARGING BLOCKS ARE WRONG!!!!!! You're not Apple. They may suck at the little things, but at least Apple works.

    A few generations old but sounds fantastic

    Bought this about a month ago during SG60 sale + birthday discount woohoo. 5 year old design but it's my first Sony headphone so I had little to none expectattion, it sounded great. I might get some after market earpads that can fit my ears better, but I still love it

    They break every 2 years

    So these are the best headphones, I have ever owned. However, I have bought 2 pair and they have both snapped on the right ear cuff. They seem to do it right at the 2year mark. I tried calling to get it repaired, apparently the don't make replacement parts. I still recommend these headphones, but if your an introvert who uses there headphones almost daily to avoid people ?? you'll be buying them every 2 years.

    Horrible.

    I'm sick of these. Don't try to pair any new device ms because it takes about 10 years and multiple tries. Trying to skip a song, rewind, or pause. Don't even try, it won't work. That is unless your shoulder happens to brush it, then it does every single action. Do yourself a favor and buy bose.

    Good sound poor craftsmanship

    So my husband loves these headphones for the noise cancellation and the sound quality, unfortunately we've had issues with these lasting?. First pair we had to send in on warranty because the headband part came detached from the ear piece (which seems like a common issue after I started looking into it) now the replacement pair won't charge after 14 months of use?. For this price I'd expect they last for YEARS

    No Manual or Instructions, over complicated

    This device has too many features that get in the way of using it, and it has no instruction manual (using WORDS) to explain how to use it. If you spend a lot of time you can download all sorts of videos and apps (that want to update themselves first), and ultimately you can find a 151 page pdf instruction manual you can download. Yeah. That many pages to tell me how to turn on and use a pair of headphones. Ridiculous.

    The best headphones ever had!

    I honestly had high expectations for this product and was amazed to discover they were far exceeded in every respect. The materials, construction, and finish are some of the best I've seen. The sound is clean and clear, and it's highly customizable via the app on your phone or with your favorite equalizer. They're extremely comfortable.

    Will not play CD's with noise cancel function.

    I do not use Bluetooth and I bought this to use with my portable CD player, HOWEVER... The unit must be turned OFF in order to play my CDs. Thus I can not use the NOISE Cancelling feature AT ALL. Is there some way around this problem, if not , i will likely return the unit to the store.

    Amazing Sound and Noise Cancellation

    I bought this to use with my phone and a new Bluetooth capable record player I got. I have never heard my records in such good sound quality before. The noise cancellation is also genuinely amazing, I could not hear anything around me when my music was playing. I felt I got a lot of value for how much it cost as well.

    Excellent sound quality, poor construction

    After 3 years, the microphone no longer works during calls and I frequently have to fix a high pitched ringing issue. I have followed all fix solutions provided by sony and nothing is a permanent fix. For the price point, the product is not worth it.

    Excellent audio & ANC - perfect for remote working

    By ryan

    I upgraded from the Sony headphones XM2 to this version XM4. The active noise cancellation and audio quality is noticeably improved. I will be using them everyday for remote working for video calls and to help reduce background noise. The build quality is fantastic with a lighter weight design. I'm looking forward to using the multiple Bluetooth connections feature and appreciate the headphone settings cloud backups.

    ONLY MUSIC.
    NOTHING ELSE.

    Sony’s intelligent industry-leading noise canceling headphones with premium sound elevate your listening experience with the ability to personalize and control everything you hear.

    voice activated AR noise canceling headphones

    Industry-Leading Noise Cancelation.

    Industry-leading noise cancellation technology means you hear every word, note, and tune with incredible clarity, no matter your environment. These noise canceling headphones feature additional microphones that assist in isolating sound for a reduction of even more high and mid frequency sounds.

    The Technology That Makes It Happen.

    Dual noise sensor technology, featuring two microphones on each earcup, captures ambient noise and passes the data to the HD Noise-Canceling Processor QN1. Using a new algorithm, the HD Noise-Canceling Processor QN1 then applies noise-canceling processing in real time to a range of acoustic environments. Working together with a new Bluetooth® Audio SoC (System on Chip), it senses and adjusts to music and noise signals, as well as acoustic characteristics between the driver unit and ears, at over 700 times per second.

    Dual noise sensor technology
    Optimizing Noise Canceling.

    Optimizing Noise Canceling.

    To maximize noise-canceling performance, the WH-1000XM4 headphones incorporate two technologies: Personal Noise-Canceling Optimizer, designed specifically for you, and Atmospheric Pressure Optimizing, designed specifically for air travel.

    Ambient Sound Control.

    Adjust ambient sound with the Sony | Headphones Connect app to cancel noise while still allowing essential sounds, like overhead announcements, through when you're listening on the move.

    Wireless Freedom, Premium Sound.

    LDAC transmits approximately three times more data (at the maximum transfer rate of 990 kbps) than conventional BLUETOOTH® audio, allowing you to enjoy High-Resolution Audio content in exceptional quality, as close as possible to that of a dedicated wired connection.

    Sound You Can Believe In.

    A built-in analog amplifier integrated in the HD Noise-Canceling Processor QN1 realizes an unmatched signal-to-noise ratio for low distortion and exceptional sound quality for portable devices. Powerful 1.57" drivers, with Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) diaphragms, make the headphones perfect for handling heavy beats and can reproduce a full range of frequencies up to 40 kHz.

    Real-Time Restoration Of All Your Compressed Files.

    Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence) co-developed with Sony Music Studios Tokyo, DSEE Extreme™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital music files in real time. Dynamically recognizing instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of each song, such as vocals or interludes, it restores the high-range sound lost in compression for a richer, more complete listening experience
