Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones Ambient Sound

By far the best headphones I have had for a while. The autoswitching between full noise cancelling and ambient sound as you move/transit is very clever. Sound is superb, but the real ace is the noise cancelling.

I was between this ones and the Bose since i needed noise cancelling headphones. My first experience was that the design was just perfect fit for me and it was easy to install and connect to my iphone. The noise cancelling in airplanes works perfectly and the ambient sound is perfect to keep listening to any song and hearing any incoming sound. the manual controls to increase or reduce volume, switching songs and ambient sound is really easy and with one hand. I really recommend this product since the price is one of the lowest for a high quality headphones. Also the audio quality exceeds my expectations. And the battery allows you to use for non-stop for many hours, at least 13 non-stop. Amazing right?

The Sony XM4 headphones were so worth it! The noise cancelling is amazing and the sound is great too. In a study space where there is a lot of noise, these headphones really help me focus. They are worth every penny!

I am very happy with the sound and noise cancelling. They are also very comfortable and lighter than my previous Sony headphones. Worth the extra money.

I am loving my new headphones, cleanest sound ever and a good noise cancelling.

Ive had several other noise cancelling headphones by Bose (QC35 II) and Beats (Studio Wireless) and I always hailed Bose as king of Noise Cancelling headphones. Now the only thing that Bose has over Sony is the durability of the headphones, my Bose headphones I could pretty much bend however I wanted and they wouldn't break. The Sony's are a bit more stiff, but the material is still premium! I originally went with Bose because of their comfort though, I like to wear my headphones for an extended period of time and the old Sony's (XM1 and XM2) got uncomfortable after a few hours. With the new design however, I can see myself wearing these all day! What does Sony have to offer that's better than Bose? - Noise cancelling (much better) - Sound quality - Battery life - Customization through app - Accessories (better quality auxiliary charger cords, as well as a good airplane adapter!!) - USB-C Charger!!! (as a MacBook Pro owner this was a must, I hated micro-usb so much) - Comfort? (I'm still testing this out but ill update in a few weeks if its better or on-par with the Bose QuietComfort 35 ii)

I got these Excellent upgrade from my old 1000's. Better sound, better noise cancelling. Better Ambient sound. These were so good, I got the WF1000XM4 earbuds for Father's Day!

Have 2 other Bose Noise-Cancelling headphones over the years and I always felt somewhat disappointed in the quality of the noise cancelling, but figured this is what it is. Now I know differently. These Sony headphones literally shut down nearly all the noise where I can't hear anyone talking to me and priced reasonably, unlike the Bose or Apple headphones.

Best sound of them all!! Noise cancelling is second to none.

I went into B&H looking for a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. The floor attendant told me that it would be mostly a toss-up between Sony and Bose for top-of-the-line equipment. I eventually settled on Sony because I was more interested in listening to natural voice than to bass and musical effects. So far so good. I am happy with the performance, which kept my ears protected during the 9-hour flight home.
