I've had these 24 hours now and I'm blown away, I'd forgotten how good music actually is when you can hear every detail. They are easy to use stylish and very comfortable

I purchased these headphones after trying my friends while on holiday, they are so good I decided to buy my granddaughter a pair. Last night I connected them to my Sony TV and had an immersive movie experience. The sound quality and various modes are extremely good, making these headphones good value for what I paid.

I don't normally spend a lot on headphones but due to my hearing loss I find it difficult to understand voices but with the help of a Curry's member of staff on trying the headphones I find I can hear speech much easier. I mainly use them for TV So for me they are great

Anytime you clear your throat or cough or sing or even just open your mouth they turn off it is extremely annoying!

I've had these for about a month and it has been a great experience. Pros: - comfortable to wear as they are over the ears - decent noise cancellation - high quality audio, it feels like a party every day - love that it's foldable, amazing for travelling - long battery life Cons - can feel pretty heavy after a while - sometimes it makes my ears sweat, but i live in a tropical climate - it doesn't cancel out voices, only white noise

Bought this a month ago after a lot of considering. Finally decided to go with Sony as it is a well known and trusted brand. Sound quality and ANC is excellent, with strong bass. A little pricey though.

Absolutely love these headphones they're amazing for noise cancellation and the fact that I can switch from noise cancellation to turning on ambient sound for when I'm riding my scooter or walking or biking so I can still hear what's going on around me but then I can also choose to my noise cancellation turned on if I feel like just listen to music the sound is amazing and I love that I can download the app and adjust the settings to exactly the way I like them so any makes the best headphones!!

I recently purchased the Sony WH-1000XM4, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The sound quality is outstanding, with deep bass, clear vocals, and excellent balance across all frequencies. The noise cancellation is truly world-class - it completely blocks out surrounding noise, making it perfect for travel, work, or study sessions. The comfort level is great; the headphones are lightweight and fit snugly without any pressure, even after hours of use. I also love the battery life, which easily lasts a full day, and the quick charge feature is super convenient. Additional features like multi-device connectivity, touch controls, and speak-to-chat make the overall experience seamless. It's a premium product that delivers exactly what it promises - superb sound, comfort, and convenience. Absolutely worth the investment. Highly recommended!

My daughter recommended this make and brand as she has a set herself. My reason for investing is I need quiet in which to sleep next to my husband who snores. Although I've discovered I need a more concentrated noise cancellation at times, on the whole, this set has my sleep times covered. I love the ambient feature, too, if I am listening to a podcast and want to also listen out for the doorbell. These headphones sit very comfortably on my head. Sleeping with them is what you might expect if you do not sleep solely on your back - they're a bit lumpy! I also found the 2 small buttons on bottom left of the headset is a bit fiddly to use in the night. I assume that my sleeping with the headset on might otherwise inadvertently push the button which would be even more disrupting to my sleep, so not sure if a slightly larger button with a sliding cover opening from the top down over the button might work? I loved the choice of turning on Bluetooth and the ability to hardwire when preferred. I only gave 4 stars because of having to sleep only on my back with them, the fiddly small buttons when used during sleep and that I can still be woken by hearing occasional and excessive loud snoring but I believe that is not the issue of this set of headphones, rather, I needed to purchase a model with greater noise cancellation. Overall, I am really very pleased with my purchase of WH-1000XM4 wireless noise cancelling headphones

Have been using these headphones and happy with the noise cancellation. They are comfortable for a 4 hour flight. Not quite sure about using the ambient sound and the finger tap doesn't always work for me.

After a few years of hesitation I finally bought the WH-1000XM4 a couple weeks ago. And I dont regret at all ! The sound quality and the comfort are incedible !

Only been using these for a week or so. Upgraded from a pair of wh-720. These are definitely a big step up both in terms of sound quality and noise cancelling. The ability to control the settings through the mobile app is also a bonus. The touch controls are possibly a bit of a gimmick, but do work well. Having said that, the ability to mute the volume and boost the ambient sound by putting a hand over the earcup does work really well and is a feature that I genuinely use. Overall, I'd definitely recommend these headphones, especially as they can now be purchased far cheaper than they were a year or two ago.

Replaced a pair of Bose quiet comfort which had started to power up on its own. Complained to Bose who weren't interested. These are much better and you can connect two devices at same time allowing you to check batery and change levels on one device while listening on the other.

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.
