Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones - 30 hours battery life - Over Ear style - Optimised for Alexa and Google Assistant - with built-in mic for phone calls - Midnight Blue

I was incredibly skeptical about just how so many people were saying these were amazing active noise cancelling headphones, as i've had some underwhelming experiences in the past with some noise isolating products.However, considering i'm above a business with a range of noises going on outside, i decided to buy these and give them a go. I was pleasantly surprised to see just how much these block out noise. Impact noise can travel quite alot, especially living in a flat, but these pretty much block out everything. It would have to be a very loud bang for it to break through, and even then it's muffled.The battery life could be a bit better, but they still last you a good few hours before charging. The sound quality is great, you can watch shows, sports with very little distractions. It's not like you have to play music alot to drown out the noises, cause barely anything gets through. Comfortability is good, but can ware on your ears after a couple of hours or so. Nonetheless, these are 100% worth the money, and made my life easier.

Was in two minds whether to get these. They were a lot of money (for me) and could they possibly be worth it? I needn't have worried. What a fantastic pair of headphones. Comfortable, have plenty of battery time and the noise cancelling made even the noise of a 12-hour night flight disappear to a whisper. If you're considering getting some noise cancelling headphones, I can't recommend these highly enough. You get what you pay for – and here, it's a price well worth paying.

Was about to get the newer XM5 model but saw these for £170 on prime day and decided that at half the price of the XM5s it was a steal. I'm not disappointed. Sound quality is excellent, battery life is very good. Great for PC gaming and music. Kind of wish it had the buttons like my old WCH-700Ns instead of the gimmicky touch sensor on the right ear cup. It has a habit of turning on or off functions that I don't want if i just accidentally put my hand over it and I don't ever use it to skip tracks or turn it up, I just use the device its connected to. Noise cancelling is pretty good. I've switched out the ear pads for Soulwit cool gel ones and they are super cool and comfortable. I like how it will pause music or videos if i take them off and restart playback when i put them back on. I wish the timeout for power off was longer / adjustable as if i take them off and nip downstairs to make a cup of tea they'll be powered off when i get back which is a pain if I'm gaming on my PC as often switching them back on means i have to restart my game as they are usually not picked back up by the game. Minor issue, for the price and the sound quality they are excellent.Edit: I have since found a setting in the Sony headphones app that allows me to prevent them from turning themselves off which is really useful. My friend has the XM5s and honestly, they don't sound any better. Different (a bit) but not better. I'm very happy with these.

Really nice Sony headphones, even though they have been out for a couple of years they still have incredible features and terrific sound quality. Would recommend especially for its low price compared to other large brands.

These Sony headphones offer impressive sound quality and are easy to set up, making them a great value for the price. The battery life is excellent, lasting several weeks on a single charge, and the headphones fold into a compact case, which is handy for saving space. However, getting used to folding them correctly can be a bit of a challenge, especially when in a rush.The ambient sound control feature is somewhat inconsistent; it sometimes effectively blocks out noise, such as when a train is approaching, but at other times it doesn't seem to work as well. The noise-cancelling feature, while decent, isn’t perfect—you can still hear people speaking nearby, though it does a good job in noisier environments like trains or planes.Comfort is another area where these headphones fall short, as they tend to become uncomfortable and make my ears sweaty after about 45 minutes of use. If you’re planning to wear headphones for extended periods, these might not be the best option. The touch controls on the right over ear piece, which allow you to pause, skip songs, and adjust the volume, are also a bit finicky; it’s easy to miss the right spot, leading to accidental pauses instead of skipping tracks.Despite these minor issues, I’m satisfied with the purchase, and the headphones have become a regular part of my routine. If you’re looking for reliable, affordable headphones with good sound quality and can overlook some of the ergonomic and functional quirks, these are a solid choice.

All the reviews recommended these, and I did have an older model which I wore loads for over six years! I love the new feature of being able to connect to two devices. Great design, I can wear them for hours and they don't give me ear burn! Easy controls and love the navy colour!

definitely best headset, very clear sound, long battery life, 2 device connectivity, good mobile app interface.

Always enjoy the quality of Sony products and these headphones are amazing. Comfortable to wear and the functionality of different sound settings to adjust at different environments is great.Folds nicely as well with the provided case and simple easy charging as well.Very happy and highly recommend
