I loved these!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones made it so easy to just tune out the world. I wasn't worried nor dud I hear anything except whatever I wanted to out of these headphones. They were really easyto charge and were a nice comfortable size. They were easy to pair with devices. I also loved how they were made as well as their case they go in. I would recommend these a thousand times over.

Not as great as the reviews stated

Noise Cancelling: Very good. As with all ANC headphones, you can tell that it is on. Have used on airplanes and while using a leaf blower. It does a good job minimizing ambient noises Call Quality: Poor. Sitting in a quiet room or walking outside on a calm day, several people have commented on the level of background noise or how hard it was to hear my voice. Sony needs to improve the background noise cancellation for phone calls.

great

Last time, about 10 yrs ago, I had a Sennheiser, which didn't really quite work in terms of ANC. And I got a second one with bluetooth, which was about the same, on top of that, the earpad peeled really badly. I would never buy a senh again. Until recently I started to have some bad guests in and out causing lots of noises, I started to do a lot of research and eventually bought XM4. Im very happy. Besides the bad guests, I live like under the flight path that I hear airplanes like every 5 min. But with XM4 on, I just never hear it again. Thanks to Sony. I appreciate the new tech.

Great Option for Multi Use

I LOVE these headphones, I like how versatile they are. i use them for gaming (wired mostly) and I have used them for video editing (both wired and wireless). I have had some stuttering and sound distortion when connected wireless to my Razer Blade (2021) when listening to Spotify. Not sure what this could be from, some input from Sony may be needed, but this has been my only real issue as of yet.

Inexplicable warbling

When these headphones are working properly, they've got the best sound quality of any modern, consumer headphones. Unfortunately, during every single use so far (each of the past 6 days since Christmas), out of nowhere, the sound either drops out or becomes distorted and this will last for several seconds or a couple of minutes. The problem will resolve itself only to return later. When I looked online for help, I saw that "wireless LAN" could cause interference, but at the same computer station, I have never had this problem with the Sony CH710 or the XB900N or their predecessors.

Shhh I can’t hear you

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As I get older I have a tendency to enjoy peace and quiet. Unfortunately grandkids and abundance of animals doesn’t mix with quiet. Enter the noise cancelling headset by Sony. Not only does it cancel the ambient sounds but the wireless feature enhances the volume of my tunes ! Love them

Best headphones I’ve ever used

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can’t rave enough about these headphones. After battling with ear buds for years, I finally caved and bought the over ear noise canceling ones. They are so great you can barely hear a plane engine or a lawn mower running. 10/10 would recommend to friends and family

it's ok

Reall reason I m writing this review is question to the developers and programmers is it possible to add future to content wire head set into Bluetooth set which connected to devices and listen it together with second person non Bluetooth headphones together. Only few manufacturers who actually doing it as an option but unfortunately Sony isn't one of them

Incredible Performance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are incredible. I can not believe how light they are compared to there noise cancelling ability. I have had some Bose QCIIs for a long time and these blow them away. The touch controls take some practice but once your used to them they feel natural and well thought out. Highly recommend!

Too bad, no upgrade for me, LDAC and AAC only

Was going to upgrade my WH-1000XM3 headphones to get the Bluetooth 5.0 goodness, but can't the XM4s only have AAC and LDAC codecs, so much for that. I'm not going to limit my phone/tablet/whatever purchase to only ones that support AAC and LDAC. Sorry, No Aptx HD option means no upgrade, at least not to Sony products. We'll see who the first one to make high quality, noise cancelling headphones with Bluetooth 5.0 and support for AptX HD or at least a decent set of codec options.

Hi mtzlblk, Thank you for the feedback on the WH-1000XM4. We value your opinion and we would like to apologize if our product did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback about not having an APTX HD codec support. However, this unit supports LDAC which gives the ability to stream Hi-Res music content, even over a Bluetooth connection. Thanks for sharing your feedback. -Sam
