Great Sound. Great Controls.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned several headphones, including 3 Boses, 2 JBLs, and a few others. These Sony headphones are the best sounding I've owned. The noise canceling works great. The controls take some getting used to, but once you figure them out they are genius. Far superior to the Boses controls. I use them primarily with my Samsung Note 9 and Samsung Smart TV. I haven't had any issue pairing or keeping them connected. I use them regularly outdoors while doing chores.

Posted .Hi Excellent,
We are glad to hear you are enjoying the good sound of your WH-1000XM4 Headphones with some tweaking, but we are sorry to hear about your friend complaining about loud background noise during phone calls. This specific issue is sometimes caused by how the Speak-to-Chat feature is set up, or it could be related to the device's Automatic Wind Noise Reduction which might require a check in the Sony Headphones Connect app to ensure optimal performance when using the microphones for calls. We appreciate you choosing Sony and hope you can resolve this minor call issue.
Best regards, Eliab

Best over-ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had these for probably a couple years now. I use them when working and for taking work calls. The audio is awesome, and people can never tell I am using headphones, which is a plus. There are a ton of things you can do with these that I don't use anymore, but they can be quite helpful.

Posted .Hello jmk1,
Thank you so much for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you find the WH1000XM4 headphones to be good. We value your comments regarding the effectiveness of the noise cancellation feature.
To ensure you get the best performance, we recommend adjusting the settings in the "Sony | Headphones Connect" app. For an optimal experience, please set the [Ambient Sound Control] to [Noise Canceling] mode. Keep in mind that if you have Adaptive Sound Control enabled, it could impact the noise-canceling effectiveness, so you may want to consider modifying that setting as well.
For detailed instructions, please refer to the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752735.html.
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards,

Great headphone with just one flaw
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are planning to use this headphone mostly on a Windows machine please take a note that you cant use LDAC on Windows and iOS devices. While on iOS devices AAC format creates good sound, they have omitted the aptX so the sound code is limited to a very old SBC format on Windows. I am not an audiophile myself but can hear some sound differences between my Windows machine (SBC) and iPhone (AAC). I didn't know this when bought the item, and if I knew probably look somewhere else. But, I can't say I am 'that' disappointed, the product is great and the battery life is really good.
