Good product

I bought this product for a month. It is above an average product. The noise cancellation is above average as compared with Bose. I still can hear the engine on the plane. I have also used it for web meeting with wire connection. My own voice during the meeting was quite muffled which is not too good. Maybe I should use the ambient mode with the headphone turn on. Generally I am happy with the product.

Sound quality feedback

Happy with the bass was impactful. But disappointed with the Sound Connect App as there was no customization for bass only a general loudness level for bass. Would prefer to have the same function ad on XM6. Mid range was ok but high pitch was rather weak need to compensate by lowering the bass and turn up the volume to boost the high pitch.

Doesn't work while using power tools? which is the reason i purchased them. Even tried adjusting the setting with the app.

Perfect, for me.

They were the best headphones before the XM5 & XM6 were brought into the fray, considering they fold and the XM5 doesn't, that imho makes these the second best headphones right now. The sound is perfect for me, the bass is not too heavy, the rest of the sonic detail is super clear. As with anything new vs old, I do covet the new ANC in the XM6 (and XM5 btw) as the ANC in the XM4 could be better, but it really isn't an issue when you pay less that £200 for them. I predict in 3 years, i'll swap them out for the foldable XM6 for a bargain price and still have a better product than some of the really expensive headphones available at that time.

Great headphones at this price!

I bought this 3 weeks ago and it is absolutely excellent, I was skeptical as these are around 4-5 years old but you really aren't missing much compared to the newer models, especially if on a budget! I have only charged these once and I have been using every day moderate use, ANC is fantastic and generally comfy to wear through the day

My opinions on WH-1000XM4 headphones

I bought this in November 2025 and the noise cancelling and audio quality is extremely good and I cannot barely hear anyone through them. However I do wished it had a better mic.

All good.

Had headphones for a few weeks and I find them really good. Noise cancelling is very good compared to my old Sony headphones, sound quality is very good after just tweaking the bass. They are very comfortable to wear, light and seem pretty well made. Would buy again

Headband too large, sound good, NC only OK

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.

Why would you do this.

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.

Excellent Product

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.

Great sound!

By Leogal

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.

Be at one with your music
Discover how the WH-1000XM4 headphones blend our advanced noise canceling with exceptional sound quality and a range of smart features for an unrivaled listening experience.

Only Music. Nothing Else.
Sony's intelligent premium noise canceling headphones with superior sound elevate your listening experience with the ability to personalize and control everything you hear.

Premium Noise Cancellation
Premium 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.

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.

Sony | Sound Connect App
Adjust ambient sound with the Sony | Sound 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.

Smart Listening Technology to Enhance Your Listening
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.

Adaptive Sound Control Automatically Adjusts to Whatever You Do
Adaptive Sound Control is a smart function that senses where you are and what you're doing, then adjusts ambient sound settings for the ideal listening experience.

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

Walking
Be aware of everything around you, from street to office, while still enjoying music.

Waiting
Hear important announcements while you wait without noticing other background noise.

Learns Your Favorite Locations
Over time, Adaptive Sound Control learns to recognize locations that you frequently visit, such as your workplace, the gym, or a favorite cafe, and tailors sound to suit the situation.

Quick Attention
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.

Wear All Day In Total Comfort
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.

All Day Power and Quick Charging
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.

Effortless Operation
From controlling your music to accessing your voice assistant or making hands-free calls-with the WH-1000XM4, it couldn't be easier.

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

Clearer hands-free calling
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.

Control at Your Fingertips
Change the track, turn the volume up or down, and take or make calls just by tapping or swiping the panel.

Sony | Sound Connect app
With the Sony | Sound 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.

Multipoint Connection
For total convenience, WH-1000XM4 headphones can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connect to the right one automatically. You'll also be able to quickly, smoothly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button.

Fast Pair
The WH-1000XM4 supports Google's helpful new Fast Pair feature. It lets you easily locate where you left your WH-1000XM4 headphones by tone sound, or checking their last known location in Google's Find My Device app on your smartphone.

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

Carry Case with Cable
The supplied carrying case is durable and includes a cable for wired listening.

360 Reality Audio: So Immersive. So Real.
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.

Artist Connection App
