We all have vastly different reasons both for wanting headphones and for the headphones we choose. Some folks love the isolating power of over ear headphones while others find them smothering. There are people that prefer the subtle discretion of earbuds while others can't stand having some thing in our ear canals. All that is to say that purchasing headphones can be a very personal experience that's different for everyone. The best you can do is choose a reputable brand and try to find a pair that have good consumer reviews to. In this review I'm testing out the Sony WH – 1000 XM four over ear wireless noise cancelling headphones.

I'll take a look at the style and comfort, what you get with your purchase, how long the battery lasts and what it's like to use for all kinds of listening experiences from music to podcasts, phone calls and zooms. I'll wrap things up with the pros and cons and make an assessment about whether or not I think I can recommend these for you.


I'm very impressed. When you flip the case open you'll see the headphones, a very short 6-inch USB-C power cord, an auxiliary cable, and a dual-prong airplane aux travel adapter. A felted divider keeps the cords and accessories in one place while also protecting the headphones, another very nice touch.
Design & Comfort
The WH-1000XM4 should be one of the most comfortable headphones $350 can buy thanks to the ample memory foam cushioning on the earcups and headband. (In fact, the WH-1000XM4 model has thicker cushioning than its successor making the former the better pick if you are after comfort and long listening sessions. The newer WH-1000XM5 feels a lot lighter though.)
The earcups feel very well made but they are on the thinner side. I don't have particularly big ears or ones that stick out, but the inside of the earcup do come quite close to my ears. Those with bigger ears might find these uncomfortable or annoying. The covering on the cups is quite soft and feels feels neither leathery nor plastic. Just very comfortable. (I get the impression these would last years before you notice any signs of wear and once you do, you can easily replace the earcups with a third-party set like the popular stylish earcups Wicked Cushions make.)
When wearing the headphones, you can adjust the headband for a nice snug fit that doesn’t add serious pressure to your head and ears, in fact if anything I'd say these feel on the looser side when it comes to head compression. While I wasn't worried about them falling off, sudden had movement did seem to allow them to move around just a little bit. Just bear in mind that Sony designed the WH-1000XM4 for casual listening so they’re not really meant to go jogging or exercising since the design also offers no waterproofing.
My preference is for a lighter and less constricting feeling over your headphone that doesn't sound hollow or plasticky. I'd say this set checks all the boxes.

The noise cancellation quality is excellent and really allows you to create an excellent cone of silence.
Sound quality
I tried listening to a variety of music and audio with the WH-1000XM4 including spa sounds (soothing and non-distracting while working), pop, rock, podcasts and more.
The sound quality on these is outstanding, as it should be. Supremely well balanced, it’s easy to pick out multiple layers of sound. The bass, if all settings are left to factory, is a wee, wee bit on the flat side, which can easily be adjusted with the equalizer settings (turn on Bass Boost or Excited). The overall experience is full, head-filling and super enjoyable and it will be tough to find fault with the audio.
