Excellent Audio
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great audio quality. The main issue with these is a bit of ear fatigue and the constant Windows 10 misbehavior switching between HandsFree and Stereo mode. This problem is not unique to the Sony Headphones.

Posted .Hi Dpal, Thank you for the 5-star rating! Glad to hear that you are happy with your new WH-1000XM4 Headphones. You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue.
Note: Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while.
With regards to the switch between Handsfree and stereo mode, you may follow the reset and initialize steps on this link. https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP1000003512.html
If you haven't yet, to get the most out of your XM4, we recommend updating its firmware to the latest version (v2.0.7).

A little disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They're okay. For the amount of money I paid for these headphones, the sound quality is basic and not all that great. Sounds mostly muffled even if you customize the sound. When I'm active, it loses connection often. And i also hate that I can't charge and use them at the same time. But I will say they are quite comfortable to wear. Nice design. And the blue is nice.

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First time owning a noise canceling headphones and was not disappointed with the results. As of this time I am still getting the hang of it but I think it is easy enough to use once you start using it for extended periods of time. It is expensive for headphones but the quality is worth it and should last a long time to justify the price.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are looking for simplicity defined, in a headphone, this is not it. The driver for this Sony product is the App, which is not only confusing to master, but difficult to understand. The controls are somewhat masked in their function and operation, as well. Swiping up, down, left and right on non-existing buttons is glitchy, at best. What buttons there are are not raised so one can't easily perform pairing operations without taking them off to see what you are doing - and what good is that. Sound quality and noise reduction is as advertised, however the caveat in bluetooth mode is the small print in the included instructions that warns you that an audio lag might be (WILL be) present upon connection to the source. This right there ruins it for me. For the price, given all the negatives, I would not recommend these. Returned the product.

Good but pricey
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly bought it because it blew up on tiktok but it's not bad. Definitely pricey but the noice cancellation works pretty well. I don't like how it sounds when I'm walking though. It's like the sound of my footsteps are heightened, and it sometimes falls off.

Posted .Hi Joyce, You've made an excellent choice! We're glad you like the industry-leading noise cancelling feature of your new Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones. If you feel like the headphones noise canceling effects are weak when you're walking, it is possible that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on. We suggest setting the Adaptive Sound Control to Off using the Sony headphones connect app. You may find additional information about this feature on this link:
