• A:Answer My experience is all NC headphones can have some breakthrough noise depending on conditions. Having said that I believe these HPs have the best NC available. Google best NC Headphones and you will get some good reviews to consider. Only other HPs in Sony class seem to be Bose 700. Best Buys has both. Try them out and it is my understanding BB has good return policies anywhere from minimum 15-45 days depending on item.

Q: QuestionCan these block out all noise from noisy above apartment neighbors? I am looking for headphones that can drown out their heavy walking and constant moving of furniture.

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer In most cases yes. Depending on how your setup is. My upstairs neighbor is the same, and I rarely, if at all, notice it. You will notice vibrations though if your building shakes a little like mine. My kid can run through the living room pretty loudly and it cuts most of it out.

Q: QuestionWill these completely block out the sound of my husband’s snoring?

Asked 1 year ago by Mochia.

This question was asked about the related product: Sony - WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black

• A:Answer Hi Mochia, Thank you so much for your question! These noise canceling headphones feature additional microphones that assist in isolating sound for a reduction of even more high and mid frequency sounds. These should be quite effective in reducing the sound of snoring, especially when accompanied by audio playback while the noise cancellation features are activated. Additional information: Noise cancellation works best when the ambient sound around you is constant and around the low to medium pitch range. Bass is regarded as a low-pitched sound, whereas treble is a high-pitched sound. So, if the snoring is steady, you may experience significant reduction in volume. 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. Regards, Jess

Q: QuestionWhen you are on a call, in a very noisy situation (kids sports event), will the person you are speaking with hear the background noise (shouting, cheering, buzzers, etc)?

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: Sony - WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black

• A:Answer Hi there! Thank you so much for your inquiry. The noise canceling function of our WH-100XM4 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. The XM4 provides superior call quality with precise voice pickup quality- which combines five built-in microphones with advanced audio signal processing to deliver clearer voice quality to the other person on the phone when connected to a smartphone or mobile phone that supports the Bluetooth profile HFP (Hands-free Profile) or HSP (Headset Profile). However, your voice will be heard from the headset through the headset’s microphone (Sidetone function). In this case, ambient sounds or the sounds of the headset operation may be heard through the headset. I hope you find this information to be helpful! - Romeo
