Review Summary
2026-01-05T19:00:00
My main issue with these headphones is the adjustability. I don't have a particularly small head but even at the smallest possible headband size, the ear muffs are slightly too low. The padding at the top is also a little uncomfortable. Maybe these were designed for a man's head (I'm female). Sound quality is great when listening to music. However, whilst the noise cancelling is OK, I found it better with my previous BOSE headphones. Unfortunately due to the store policy I cannot return these for a different model or make so I'm stick with them. The useability of the features is good although a little tricky to work out at the beginning.

I got these headphones for Christmas, and I'm extremely disappointed. The sound quality is good. The Battery life is great. The noise cancelling is superb. However, my biggest gripe is also it's biggest weakness. The touch controls. What the hell is that? My 70 dollar Raycons which I bought 3 years ago, have dedicated buttons for volume control and song skipping. I'm in a situation where I cannot access my phone for volume control, so I have to rely on the headphones to adjust the volume quickly. To go from max volume to the lowest with this stupid touch sensor takes about 10 entire seconds. Not only that, but I can't sleep with these due to the sensor. Putting it against anything makes it freakout and start doing random stuff. These are pretty good sounding headphones, but I would never try to use them in public due to how much this touch panel is either unresponsive, slow, or just generally clunky.

ANC Functionalities are good and multiple device pairing is working great. Battery duration is long and I can use this headset for long periods of time Only issues are the headset says that it has successfully paired with my phone but there is a delay before I can use it and I often mistaken the power button from the auxiliary button vice versa.

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!

Great sound!

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.
