• A:Answer yeah, they will be much better in sound and also in comfort, Beats is a on the ear headphone and cushioning in that is not that amazing. And they literally have zero bass. These on the other hand are actually Sony's flagship headphones and they are over the ear, which meand they don't sit on the ear. They do hurt a bit after like 4 hours of continuos use for me.

Q: QuestionCan I plug this headphone into my first-generation iPod, and into my phone or the headphones can only be used via Bluetooth?

Asked 11 months ago by Maria.

• A:Answer These headphones come with an aux cable so you should be able to use them wired to your iPod or phone! You just might need an aux to lightning or aux to USB-C to connect them to your phone since most phones don’t have headphone jacks anymore.

Asked 1 year ago by bobby.

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

• A:Answer That depends on your TV. Some TVs - specifically some of Sony's own Bravia models - have this ability but it's not common. But it comes down to your TV having that functionality - not the headphones.

Q: QuestionHow do you hook them up for in flight use

Asked 1 year ago by Mark.

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

• A:Answer Hi Mark, Thanks for your inquiry! You can use the supplied headphone cable. However, the plane's entertainment system must have headphones audio out port. Additionally, they include a plug adapter for in-flight use, allowing you to enjoy the in-flight entertainment system. Some airlines may require this adapter in addition to the supplied 3.5mm headphone cable. If the airlines allow using Bluetooth headphones, then you can use it wirelessly. To use Bluetooth headphones, you will need to connect Bluetooth transmitter to the headphones jack and pair with your headphones. Hope this helps. Regards, Jess

Q: QuestionDo these headphones or Any other Sony model headphones still have the noise cancelling feature even when plugged in using the aux cable ?

Asked 1 year ago by Oppa.

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

• A:Answer Hi Oppa, Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, it does. Most Sony headphones, including the WH-1000XM4 can be used as noise canceling headphones by connecting a device via the supplied headphone cable and with the headphones turned on. If you connect the supplied headphone cable while using the noise canceling function with a Bluetooth connection, the Bluetooth function is turned off, but you can continue to use the noise canceling function. Regards, Jess

Q: QuestionHow is the performance on background noise cancellation when using the mics on a call?

Asked 1 year ago by Cami.

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

• A:Answer Hi Cami, Thank you for your inquiry! The Sony WH-1000XM4 utilizes our improved Precise Voice Pickup Technology which reduces background noise during phone calls and delivers clearer voice quality to the other person on the phone. This controls five of the microphones in the headphones optimally and performs advanced audio signal processing to pick up voices clearly and precisely for hands-free calls and Speak-to-Chat. That being said, the noise canceling function of the headphones works differently during a call than when playing music. If you hear ambient sound, headphone operation sound, or white noise (i.e., a small electrical noise with continuous static sound) during a call, that is an effect of Sidetone and not a malfunction. Regards, Jess

Q: QuestionWhat is the decibel reduction rating?

Asked 1 year 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, Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we don't disclose the Decibel/Noise Reduction Rating. The WH-1000XM4 has Industry-leading noise canceling with Dual Noise Sensor technology that will provide one of the best noise cancelling experience.
