Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones are very comfortable and look nice on. The phone app to adjust settings can sometimes be a bit clunky to use and while the sound quality is fine for streaming music etc, the noise cancellation isn't quite as good in certain settings.

Best I've ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't think headphones could get better than the XM3...but I was wrong. The noise cancelling in these headphones is unmatched. Additionally, you can connect two devices at the same time. This is great when I'm traveling because I can connect my phone and tablet at the same time rather than disconnecting one and connecting the other.

Buy a warranty
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I initially purchased these headphones around a year ago I thought they were fantastic. The noise cancelling was fantastic, and perfect for repetitive droning noises, likes fans or ac. The sound quality was also great. Whether you are using the ldap protocol on an android phone, or simple aac on an iphone. I found these headphones to be one of the best sounding ones I have had the pleasure of experiencing. It's also light weight, rest easily on your head, and feels premium. But there's a reason I'm giving a one star review to them after a 18 months of ownership. These headphones developed an issue with the noise cancelling feature. The issue being that it would RANDOMLY AND LOUDLY SCREECH FOR A SOLID 30 SECONDS AT MAX VOLUME. There is no way to predict when this happens. You'll just be sitting there, minding your own business, perhaps listening to some Jazz or Lo-fi hip hop when suddenly a piercing screech at max volume comes out of both ears of your headphones. The only solution I have found was to just disable to the noise cancelling, but that's half the reason you are spending three hundred dollars on a pair of headphones. This is an unacceptable quality failure, and apparently the headphones are already out of Sony's warranty. So according to them, I got my values worth. Needless to say, I won't be purchasing any Sony headphones in the future, and advice anyone reading this to seriously consider this review. I personally, I bought a pair of SennHeiser momentum 3's to replace these, but there are a lot of other competing anc headphones to choose from. Headphones like the Bose 700's, Bose QuietComfort 35, or Bowers & Wilkins px7. Those are just a few I think I would have been more happy purchasing than these headphones.

Posted .Hi DecentShow,
We regret to hear that you're hearing unwanted noise on your headphones. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. Make sure to update the firmware of the headphones by performing a software update (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. Doing so may resolve the issue.
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/downloads
You may hear noise (such as a creak, click, or static) through the WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones when traveling through tunnels, or other environments which air pressure changes easily, even if the noise canceling function is on. When the Noise Canceling function is set to ON, you may also hear a White noise (a small electrical noise with continuous static sound). If this occurs, temporarily turn off the Noise Canceling function. Also, please remove any obstacles between the antenna of the connecting Bluetooth device and the built-in antenna of the headset and keep the headset away from a microwave oven, wireless LAN device, etc.
We recommend performing the steps provided on the links below to refresh the content of your headphones.
