Just ok, not worth the price

Ok product, noice cancellation lot worse than I expected. If it's windy at all it will make the music sound very unclear even if it's only a little wind. Sound quality is good when not windy. Hurts ears slightly after a while. Also does not contain sound as well as I'd have liked. People can hear exactly what it listening to in a quiet environment. They're ok but expected more

$200 for crap design and customer service.

I bought this less than 3 months ago and the hinge broke. No damage, no falls. I have been taking care of it like I have a newborn, with utmost care and caution. What's worse? Sony won't honor their 1 year warranty. The XM5s have a similar defect, but I thought the XM4s were safe so bought these. Wasted over $200 on this...

Great headphones

Bough these a week ago and used them on the plane and on holiday, the noise cancellation is excellent on the plane. The only thing I would mark down for is the volume as at max isn't really loud enough

Superb audio and build

I have no complaints for the build, comform, noise cancelling and audio quality. They are superb and I am very happy. The only issue I experienced is during a call, the other party can hear the background voices. I cannot use this for meetings while in a noisy environment.

Top Notch

Great noise cancellation, sound, battery life, and design. However, noise can leak out, hence others could potentially hear your music.

Loving the product - lives up to the hype!

I brought this set of headphones recently, it's my first time using headphones so my expectations didn't have any comparable options - safe to say I was blown away by how different the sound quality is to regular earbuds! The noise cancelling feature is incredibly good and makes you feel like you're in your own world, I love the countless other features it has such as adaptive control for your surroundings and the way it can detect when you remove the headphones so it automatically pauses what you're listening to! The case, charger and adapter it comes with is so useful and better than having to buy separate ones!

Great sound quality

Bought this a few weeks ago and so far I'm impressed. This is my first pair of noise cancelling headphones so I'm still getting used to them after using on ear headphones for years. They have a deep and fuller sound compared to my previous headphones. The only feature I would like to change would be making the voice optional when turning them on and off.

Great design even now in Sept 2025. Personally always loved the design of the XM4. Sound improves tremendously after personalized EQ. Super comfortable and can be worn for hours without fatigue.

Investment as a student HEHE

I bought this a month ago because I was following the trend of headphone cause i tot it looked cool. After using it, i realised that it wasnt an impulse buy and that it was an investment cuz i focus better when studying cuz of the soundproofing although the top gets uncomfy after a while. But its ok cause the BASS is GOOOOOOD!! I look forward to many more awesome sony headphone products :)

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!

Great for school and work

- Noise cancelling is pretty great (but the wow factor of it might die down after multiple uses due to ears compensating overtime) - I have small ears and a big head so it fits me perfectly - Don't use it for the gym. I don't think this was made to be used in the gym. I use it while I wash dishes and slips down every few minutes from looking down - Can connect via wired aux (super love this feature) - Battery is great. I use it for Teams calls at work all day with only 1 full charge Cons: - Not for the gym - Cushions wrinkle kind of easily. I bought silicon covers for this to lessen wear overtime

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.

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.

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.

Sound You Can Believe In.

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

Real-Time Restoration Of All Your Compressed Files.
Smart Listening Technology To Enhance Your Listening.

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.

For Everyday Convenience, Just Speak-to-Chat.

For Everyday Convenience, Just Speak-to-Chat.

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.
