Yes, I'd recommend this product.
I needed noise canceling headphones to work at my noisy hub that would block out traffic noise but still allow me to hear if I needed to. But that wasn't the biggest hurdle in shopping, they also had to fit my head for long term wear. This was literally The Only Brand that hit all the marks! And while the need for sound to be great was lower on the list of necessities, these deliver excellent audio. Long battery life, great packaging for safe storage, and I've worn them for hours at a time with no headache or sore scalp or sweaty ears. They were a gift so price point wasn't an issue, but so far I feel they're worth every dime. Hopefully they last.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
Have these in blue and when I saw the sale I couldn’t resist the silver! I have always loved Sony for audio, all the way back to the wired days. I have some from 25 years ago that still work. That’s why I was confident in getting both pairs of this model. Great for flights, commute on public transportation and they even drowned out the loudest guy at my office (thank GOD!). I don’t see these getting replaced any time soon.

Headphones are technically competent but Sony will absolutely force you to listen to a human say "Power on" "power off" "Bluetooth device 1 connected" "Bluetooth device 2 disconnected". Noise-cancelling, except for all the noise it forces into your ears.
Sony North America Customer Support - 1 month ago
Hi Lortcel, Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear that you are happy with the sound quality and noise canceling of the WH-1000XM4.

Jeff1987 . 2 months ago
We have used sony headphones for years. Over 20 pairs in my Landscape business. The active noise cancelling on the newer models is straight trash. Constantly switching on and off automatically.
Sony North America Customer Support - 2 months ago
Hi Jeff1987, We regret to hear you are having noise canceling issues with your headphones. We’d love to help you troubleshoot your problem. When the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app is turned on, the wearer's actions, like walking or running, are detected. The noise canceling function is automatically adjusted and the Ambient Sound Mode may be activated according to these actions. To make the most of the noise canceling function, turn off the Adaptive Sound Control, and try to turn on the noise canceling function manually when you need it. You may refer to this link for troubleshooting steps to isolate and fix this issue: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/articles/00267839 The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. If you need more information or technical assistance with your product, please feel free to contact us and we'll be more than happy to assist you. You may send us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following: Name: Username: Model Number: Issue: Telephone Number: We appreciate you and thanks for sharing your feedback!

Noise cancellation
4 out of 5 rating
Abhi9 . 2 months ago
Noise cancellation is not up to mark. When I'm in meetings, people on other side still hear background noise.
Sony North America Customer Support - 2 months ago
Hi Abhi9, We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the noise canceling function of the headphones. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headset is up-to-date (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). The Sidetone function's effect makes it easier to talk using the headphones and helps the headphone microphone pick up sounds and play your voice naturally. As a result, the noise canceling function works differently from when playing music. If you hear ambient sounds, headphone operational sounds, or white noise (a slight electrical noise with continuous static sound) from the headphones, that is also an effect of the Sidetone function, not a malfunction. Noise cancellation doesn't transfer during telephone calls. Although it protects the headphones user from the surrounding noise, it doesn't apply to the receiver of the call: they will potentially hear background noise. As a workaround, you can check the settings of your source device or the app that you are using for mic sensitivity if available. Hope this helps. In case you need further assistance, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com. Name: Username: Model Number: Issue: Telephone Number: Or contact our product support team via phone call or chat through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones Sincerely, -Ralphsony.com Originally posted on sony.com

The noise cancellation is the best but the headphones are less than 6 months old and the side buttons already stopped working - come to find out, I'm not the first to have this happen too.
Sony North America Customer Support - 2 months ago
Hi deeper, Thank you for your comment. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the sound quality and noise cancellation of your WH1000XM4. However, we're sorry to learn about the issues you've experienced with the side buttons. We understand how frustrating it can be when a product doesn't perform as expected, especially within such a short period. This is not the experience we aim to provide. We recommend ensuring that your headphones are running the latest firmware, as updates can sometimes resolve functionality issues. You can find the latest firmware and update instructions on the link below: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/downloads If the issue persists or you may need more information/technical assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details and we'll be more than happy to assist you.
