WH-1000XM4 02 February 2021 by Sadthesedontowrk (USA)
Microphone and stereo audio dont work together. I like to play games with friends but I can't now because I will have to use the hands free calling as my stereo audio source to be able to hear them, but the audio quality is soo bad and distorted that I can barely make them out. for gaming, discord and meeting calls, it's not a good choice. These sound great for anything else though.

The device is connected to Android phone as a microphone. I can answer 4-5 calls and it will be ok, but some next time my opponent doesn't hear me. It happens frequently and there's no obvious rule. I'm not happy. The sound quality could be better.

WH-1000XM4 27 February 2021 by PFB17 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
I've owned a few "high-fidelity" wireless headphones in the past. From Marshalls to Sennheisers - the Sony WH-1000XM4 are the richest sounding headphones I've owned. They have a lovely rounded, warm sound. I'm no audiophile so I can't pour over details about this and that and the other thing. Like anyone however, I do appreciate good quality sound. The sound produced by these is superb.

WH-1000XM4 27 February 2021 by Spaddywaddy (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
These headphones aren't audiophile quality. However, they sound good for the buck, especially when using an EQ. I have the Bose 700 and compared to them the Sonys win. The noise-cancelling is on par with the Bose 700. The design feels cheap compared to the Bose. The buttons feel share and aren't as responsive compared to the Bose. The touch sensors aren't as responsive either, sometimes it's a double tap, sometimes it skips tracks when the volume should have been adjusted. They don't save your last setting, ie if last used ambient sound, after start-up it reverts to noise cancelling. Microphones and call quality isn't as good as the Bose as well. The ambient sound on the Bose is awesome on the Bose, it's like you aren't wearing headphones. I feel the Bose have a better build quality, more intuitive to use. But the Sony have a better soundstage.

I had the Bose QCii before these WH1000XM4’s and it is not an exaggeration to say these are better in everyway. They sound better, noise cancelling is more effective as well as not being uncomfortable. And they are so user friendly. I’m so glad with my purchase. Thank you Sony, wish you could now get me a PS5 ;)

I've had mine for a couple of weeks now and use them daily. The sound is great (and customisable) and adds a real "wow" factor to my music collection. I've connected them quickly and efficiently to several devices - iMac, iPad, iPhone and Sony Bluetooth Record Player. If you are thinking of spending this amount on noise-cancelling bluetooth headphones - there is a reason these are so highly rated! They are comfortable, well made and the app is intuitive. Also, the case is sturdy and neat - there is even a cable and airplane adapter provided. Nice!

Bought the Sony - WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones a few months back to help with focus while working-from-home. I'm very pleased with the sound quality, the Noise Cancelling performance, as well as the play/pause feature when I put them on/taking them off! What leaves things to be desired is the microphone performance, with folks on video calls complaining that they don't hear me too well (they say I sound like being in a distance).

Received it as a gift and I’m absolutely in love with it. I take the public transport a lot here in Singapore and the ANC is great to have. I think hear the important sounds but everything else just melts away to the ANC. Great sound and great bass. Definitely recommend it!! Ear cup cushions are soft and comfortable. But I do get ear and jaw aches at times(I have a big head). But other than that, it’s really really good!!

Good for music, awful for conversation. Sound playback quality was exceptional, as was the Noise cancelling. However, the microphone was atrocious - The microphone isn't up to the job of talking and the ANC goes into overdrive when you talk, regardless of what Operating State the ANC is in.

suitable for many different situations. I previously owned bose 700, which this obliterates however the comfortability is better for bigger heads and noise cancellation is more lifelike when in listening mode on the bose( when holding the button) than on the sony WH1000-XM4 ambient sound (level 20) and or when covering the right ear cup with hands.

Amazing Noise Cancellation and features
WH-1000XM4 23 February 2021 by NCWH4 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
Noise cancellation is amazing for focusing on work/ study and commuting daily via public transport, as it blocks out all the disturbing sounds of the city. Battery life is incredible (Lasts approx. 3 days with 7 hrs/ day, with Noise cancellation on). Sound quality: One of the best that I have tried. Gives full musical experience Touch Control: Offers ease of use and full hands free comfort. Sometimes increasing the volume is not always accurate and may cause skipping the song, making this the only negative I would put. Comfort: Comfortable enough to wear for hours without any problems. I would have preferred a tighter grip on the head

WH-1000XM4 review
WH1000XM4/BME 23 February 2021 by ntrpyCW (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified
I have been using the WH-1000XM4 for about a month. I also own 2 pairs of WH-1000XM3 so my review will be mostly based on the comparison between the XM3 and XM4. Overall, I must say I am a bit disappointed by the XM4. There are a few issues with the XM4: 1. The ANC performance actually falls short of XM3. When I turn on the XM3 without playing music, and sit beside a fan, the XM3 virtually cut off the fan noise. But under the same condition, the XM4 leaves an audible hissing sound behind instead of virtual silence achieved by XM3. 2. The sound played by XM4 feels 2 dimensional, flat and lack of vibrancy, compared to XM3 which feels more 3 dimensional, lively and bright. This could be due to the inexplicable omission of Surround VPT setting for XM4. The difference between XM3 and XM4 is quite prominent in this regard, even with matching equalizer settings. 3. Crackling noise becomes more prominent on XM4 for some music tracks. This could be partially contributed by the lack of Surround VPT setting for XM4, because the crackling noise of the track also rises a bit (still less than XM4) on XM3 when I turned off the Surround VPT. 4. Much shorter battery life on XM4. Both my XM3 could last about 20-24 hrs with ANC, but so far the XM4 could barely hit 14-16 hrs of playback with ANC. There are a few features I do like about XM4 though: 1. The ability to connect to 2 bluetooth devices at the same time. 2. Able to pause music playback when the headphone is taken off. 3. Able to maintain bluetooth connection over longer distance than XM3, probably the result of Bluetooth 5.0 protocol. In conclusion, I would still rate XM3 higher than XM4, and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another XM3 instead of XM4. I will definitely hesitate to purchase XM5 given the disappointing experience I have with XM4. The least and most immediate actions Sony engineers could do right now are: 1. Re-instate the Surround VPT for XM4. 2. Re-work and improve ANC performance of XM4 through firmware update. I hope Sony is treating this review seriously. Thanks.

Fantastic product with great little features
WH-1000XM4 23 February 2021 by graham54b (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
I was thinking about getting the new Apple AirPods Max and due to the price I started looking at alternatives. These are fantastic, not only are they comfortable and have good sound quality, but they have a couple of really useful features. I use the touch gestures on the right headphone regularly to change volume, pause music and skip tracks. Secondly, the chat to speak feature is excellent, meaning I can just start talking to somebody whilst listening to music and the music stops and transparency mode turns on, meaning I can talk easily without having to remove headphones.

WH1000XM4/BME 22 February 2021 by cfthn23 (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified
I won this on a lucky draw 3 weeks ago. The sound and noise cancelling is great however there is one issue with my headphones. The noise cancelling doesnt seem to do well when on public transport and bumpy roads. Whenever there is extra vibrations and bumps on the road, the active noise cancelling overcompensates and introduces extra sounds and noises which greatly affects the sound. If the active noise cancelling did not have the extra feedback, these would be the best headphones I have had.

WH-1000XM4 21 February 2021 by Moor_M (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
Great product overall. Excellent noise cancelling. Some features don't work particularly well, the auto-pause when headphones are taken off head only works about 40% of the time so it's not something to rely on. Switching between modes (noise cancelling, ambient noise on, ambient noise off) is instant, yet for some reason the voice that tells you what mode you're on mutes audio and takes far too long, let me change listening mode in peace - I know which mode i'm on. Lastly, headphones are far too big for my head - they'll fall off if I bend down and touch my toes.

This is my first pair of noise cancelling headphones ever and I’m very happy that I went with this model. Very comfortable, good noise cancelling, good sound quality and it’s great that it comes with a case and audio cable. One downside is that when I am connect to my iPad and laptop simultaneously, the Bluetooth is quite unstable. One device may drop unexpected and when I receive calls from the second Bluetooth device, its connection is unstable. I was hoping the multi-device connectivity will work nicely but I guess the current technology is a stretch at the moment.

Awesome noise cancelling!
WH-1000XM4 14 February 2021 by Dave297 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
Bought these so that I can watch TV without the subtitles which can be rather intrusive. Although I have a smart TV with Bluetooth, the audio settings only allow limited 'dual' output options which exclude the soundbar and, due to the rather basic codec, introduced unacceptable audio lag - not good for speech based programmes! I invested in a cheap BT transmitter which I plugged into the satellite box - problem solved! Audio us output simultaneously to the soundbar and my headphones! The sound quality is superb when listening to music streamed from my phone using LDAC and the noise cancelling us truly awesome. The wh-1000xm4 are lightweight and very comfortable. Battery life is amazing and the on board audio battery level check very useful - saves having to reach for my phone. It's worth shopping around for the best possible price. I got a whopping £109 discount and overnight delivery from Currys PCWorld online through a price match with a UK based online dealer who was offering a stock-clearance sales price - quite possibly of grey imports. I have had a fantastic bargain from a trusted retailer for the best in class headphones.

WH-1000XM4 14 February 2021 by friendlyneighborhoodgabe (USA)
I loved the XM3s. I mean absolutely loved. They were a god send and really transformed audio for me. Noise cancelling: perfect. Comfortability: superb. The XM4 is almost no different. When it comes down to it, the audio is better, the mic is better, and I even loved the full matte finish more. BUT, I loved the surround sound settings on the XM3. You could make it sound like you were actually in a club or concert. I mean, amazing. I never saw features like that before. But with the upgrade, they are no longer available sadly. I really don’t understand why they were removed. I thought it brought so much life to audio. If this weren’t an issue, I’d definitely rate 5 stars. Not 5, 10.

I spent a serious amount of time debating whether to go for these headphones and I’m so glad that I bit the bullet and ordered them! I had beats before which broke after a year so I was looking for something better. My office is so loud and my neighbours aren’t delightful either so I needed something to drown out all the noise! The sound quality is fantastic, the noise cancelling is saving my sanity, and as a glasses wearer I have never been more comfortable! They are so easy to use and I can wear them all day without my ears hurting. I would definitely say that if you are on the fence, save a little more money and go for these. You won’t regret it.
