Good for first-timers. I already used this for more than a month now, and I would say it's good.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 are highly recommended wireless noise-cancelling headphones that offer an excellent balance of comfort, top-tier sound, and superb noise cancellation. They are considered a great value option today, even if they lack sweat resistance and have only passable microphone quality. Key Strengths: Industry-leading noise cancellation: Blocks out a wide range of ambient sounds effectively. Excellent sound quality: Detailed, dynamic audio that supports high-resolution formats like LDAC. Supreme comfort: Lightweight and ergonomic design ideal for long listening sessions. Smart features: Includes helpful additions like multi-device pairing and auto-pause when you speak.

Not a good listening headphone for traveling. ANC can't handle closing/opening bus door sound. It will create the loud cloak sound when ever the door closes or opens which is very very disturbing.

There is an abnormal sound from my headphones. When I walk, I feel something shaking inside them. I even only used it for a month and charged it once

Sony headphones are absolutely fantastic. The sound quality is clear, rich, and well balanced, with deep bass and crisp highs. They are very comfortable to wear, even for long periods, and the build quality feels solid and premium. The noise cancellation works extremely well, making them perfect for travel or everyday use. Battery life is impressive, and the controls are easy to use. Definitely worth the price - I highly recommend them.

Bought this a month or so ago, excellent product very comfortable for long periods. No more ear ache from the pressure my old earphones gave me if wearing for long periods like on long haul flights. The noise cancelling works perfectly and all the functions easily accessible from the side of the ear piece.

Have wanted to buy these for a long time and I have not been disappointed after finally getting my hands on them , excellent sound quality, very light weight and the active noise cancelling is very very good. Headphones of the highest quality and look very good. Also loving the touch controls for volume and next/back song. Reasonably priced as well.

I downgraded from WH1000XM5 because of the hinge reliability issues and portability. Im surprised i like the XM4 sounded better musically! However ANC of XM5 is still superior.

The Sony XM4 headphones are a dream to wear. Those comfy earmuffs make long listening sessions feel effortless. I love how easily they fold up and slide into my bag for travel. The battery life keeps me going for days without needing a charge, and the controls are intuitive and smooth. While the companion app could use a design refresh, the overall experience still feels premium and satisfying. These headphones make every moment sound brighter!

I bough this product on the 4th of December and was really happy at first, but seems like I have received a faulty product as the headphones do not charge in 3 hours at all. It took 10 hours maybe more for it fully charge from 10% battery. I tested the charging again when it was around 20% and 4 hours later it was still at around 20%

I was gifted these in September 2025. Less than a month later, they fell apart. Sony says this is a hardware issue and not covered by warranty.

Bought this because it came highly recommended by my son
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.

Sony WH-1000XM4.

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.


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.
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.


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.
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.

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


The WH-1000XM4 headphones use an array of smart technologies to create a seamless, hands-free listening experience. For example, simply start speaking to automatically pause your music in Speak-to-Chat, or enjoy adaptive playback thanks to the proximity sensor and two acceleration sensors that detect whether your headphones are being worn or not.

As soon as you speak to someone, Speak-to-Chat automatically stops the music and lets in ambient sound so you can conduct a conversation—handy if you want to keep your headphones on, or your hands are full. Based on Precise Voice Pickup Technology, this smart feature uses five microphones built into your headphones and advanced audio signal processing to recognize and react to your voice. And once your chat is over, your music starts playing again automatically.

Lose yourself in your journey, with no background noise to interrupt your favorite tracks.

Hear important announcements while you wait without noticing other background noise.
Over time, Adaptive Sound Control learns to recognize locations that you frequently visit, such as your workplace, the gym, or a favorite café, and tailors sound to suit the situation.

Proximity sensor and two acceleration sensors in your headphones can detect whether you're wearing them or not, then adapt playback accordingly to help save battery power.

Take off your headphones and the music pauses automatically.

Put the headphones back on and the music automatically resumes.
Need to quickly hear voices or sounds around you? Just place your hand over the housing to instantly turn your music volume down and let ambient sound in.

WH-1000XM4 headphones blend sophisticated style with exceptional comfort. Super-soft, pressure-relieving ear pads in foamed urethane evenly distribute pressure and increase ear/pad contact for a stable fit. And with a lighter-weight design, you'll barely notice you're wearing them.

With a huge 30 hours of battery life, you'll have enough power even for long trips. And if you need to top up in a hurry, you can get 5 hours' worth of charge after just 10 minutes with the optional AC adapter

Manage your day, just by asking your assistant. Enjoy entertainment, connect with friends, get information, listen to music and notifications, set reminders, and more.


Conversation flows freely with easy, hands-free calling. Leave your phone where it is, just speak with a double tap. Thanks to Precise Voice Pickup Technology, which combines five built-in microphones with advanced audio signal processing, WH-1000XM4 delivers clearer voice quality to the other person on the phone.

Change the track, turn the volume up or down, and take or make calls just by tapping or swiping the panel.
With the Sony | Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. Meanwhile the Equalizer lets you customize sound levels to suit your music.


The ear cups swivel inwards so they pack up neatly in a compact case.

The supplied carrying case is durable and includes a cable for wired listening.
Immerse yourself in sound all around you. As real as if you are there at a live concert or with the artist recording in a studio. With 360 Reality Audio, music has never been so immersive and so real. These headphones let you enjoy 360 Reality Audio

Sony's intelligent industry-leading noise cancelling headphones with premium sound elevate your listening experience with the ability to personalize and control everything you hear. Get up to 30 hours of battery life with quick charging capabilities, enjoy an enhanced Smart Listening feature set, and carry conversations hands-free with speak-to-chat.
