Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After needing an alternative to in-ear buds that gave me issues, I moved back to over ear headphones with this set. The experience has been great so far. The sounds are rich and vibrant. Connectivity has been flawless. I have no regrets so far.

Excellent Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased as birthday gift for my son. I put them on at the store to try out the noise cancelling feature and was blown away with how incredibly quiet it was with them on! Especially compared to a busy loud store like Beat Buy. They are great quality craftsmanship and sound. Not one regret on this purchase!!

Fantastic Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for an international trip, and they are amazing. While there is some noise leak, it's not the worst. I highly recommend them for planes and trains. The bass is great and easy to pair with your phone or laptop.

Best Headphones for the Price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The wh1000xm4 are by far the best headphones I have owned. The music is crisp and the bass is deep and scary accurate. The noise cancelling feature is what truly sets these headphones apart from the rest. With noise cancelling active, the outside world becomes near silent and the headphones can be enjoyed at a very low noise.

XM4 VERSUS XM5
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really liked these headphones, the only reason I decided to change this for the XM5 is that that model wasn't on display in the store, so I could not compare the sound between my XM4, VS the XM5, so once I tried the XM5 for the 15-day trial I liked the sound of the XM5 better.

Does not live up to all the hype!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great headphones, but they live nowhere near to the hype . The noise canceling is okay but I do not understand how it’s industry leading. They are not that comfy and make my ears sweat. The sound quality is fantastic but they aren’t the loudest. I have also noticed they have a small delay for some reason. Maybe it’s my fault for listening so much to the reviews praising these headphones and me expecting who knows what.

Posted .Hi Imjusthue,
Thank you for the time to write this review. While we are glad you like the WH1000XM4, we're sorry to hear we were not able to meet your full expectations and issues that you are experiencing with the unit. Allow us to help make this experience better.
Industry-leading noise cancellation technology means you hear every word, note, and tune with incredible clarity, no matter your environment. These noise canceling headphones feature additional microphones that assist in isolating sound for a reduction of even more high and mid frequency sounds.
Adjusting the headband and the earpads properly can help reduce discomfort while wearing the headphones. These headphones actually support super-soft, pressure-relieving earpads in foamed urethane evenly distribute pressure and increase ear/pad contact for a stable fit.
Please make sure that the headphones software is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements. You may try some solutions on these links below to troubleshoot issues that you are having with the headphones:
If the effect of noise canceling is not sufficient:

Low sound level:
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752812.html
The audio playback on the headset may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games.

The folding Sony to buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The xm3s refined and that what I wanted. Fits tighter and doesn't squeak when I put it on. Auto off when you take them off is great. Still fold for small compact package unlike the 5s. I think the battery is slightly less than the 3s but it does more.
