Posted .Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM4, SamraS. We appreciate your positive note on the sound quality and understand your expectations regarding bass performance.
The WH-1000XM4 offers several features that allow users to customize the audio experience to their liking. If you'd like deeper or stronger bass, we recommend adjusting the equalizer settings either through the Sony Headphones Connect app or your audio source. Settings such as "Bass Boost" or manual tuning of lower frequencies can help enhance bass response and tailor the sound to your preferences. Additionally, using high-quality audio codecs like LDAC or AAC can further improve overall sound quality and bass detail when paired with compatible devices.
We value input like yours, as it helps us continue improving our products. If you have any more suggestions or questions about optimizing your WH-1000XM4, please let us know.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

Tried and tested! Five Stars!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these as a gift for my husband a few years ago. He uses them at the gym, travel, and while doing some household chores. After extensive use, they broke. He was so happy and impressed by the quality of these headphones that he repurchased the same product again on his own! He can't be without them and didn't even want to bother testing out another brand.

The noise cancelling is good snough to use while on the riding mower and not have to have the music turned up really loud.

Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best part of the headphones is definitely the noise cancelling. I am in college and I can tune out people being loud with these headphones so I can study. I can also just touch side of headphones to turn on transparency mode so I can hear if someone is talking to me.

Great noise canceling!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best headphones ever! Just got off a flight sitting infront a crying infant and singing toddler and heard NONE OF IT! Noise canceling is so good, it's almost scary how silent it can get if not playing any audio.

high quality product from Sony
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replacement for older Bose noise cancelling. Easy to pair once the app is installed. Not quite as comfortable as the Bose but the sound is incredible. Range is good and fairly easy to use. The feature that shuts off the music/sound if you start talking is helpful but it will also shut off if you laugh. The only reason it doesn't get five is that it's not really comfortable for longer periods of time such as a couple of hours. Great for airplane travel.

Posted .Hi iowafan,
We appreciate your review of the headphones. We're glad that you like the Bluetooth range and user-friendly functions. The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when it detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, but in rare cases, it may activate in response to the voices of other people, ambient environmental sounds, transportation announcements, etc. Disable Speak-to-Chat in cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident.
Your feedback about its comfort is greatly appreciated. Make sure to adjust the headband of the headphones for optimum fit and comfort. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony!

Good for music. Not much else.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.doesn't seem to have a full noise cancelling feature. Only seem to have passthrough. No mic for talk. Latency is too high for video games. OK for movies. Perfectly fine for music. Depending on what you want. That could be fine. Battery is really good.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the NC on this, the only thing is that it is very sensitive to touch on the outside, so if your hair swipes or or your sleeve or anything, it will react! Very cute and stylish though. I do appreciate the pause when it hears me talking, I think that’s cool. Overall very good, but the microphone on the Xm5 is much better. Very soft and bendy, just gotta be careful with them.
