Great sound quality but too many mechanical flaws.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Experienced the following issues after one year of owning these: -Sometimes they would not charge at all, even using the included charger. -Static sound + sound cutting out on either side. -Factory reset was not possible - blinking light would not appear after holding down the buttons. -Would not power on sometimes, even if they were fully charged! I've learned my lesson and will not be spending this much on headphones again, knowing that there are quality headphones with longer batter life and fewer flaws for a third of the price.

Expensive for no reason.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to have the XM4 wireless buds and THOSE are what sold me on Sony headphones. So when I saw these, there was a certain expectation that was not met when I put them on. Honestly, they sound like some cheap $70 no name brand headphones. I returned them promptly. I will say, I had a a chance to try the XM5’s in store and those sound WAY better than these.

Posted .Hi SofaKingDope,
We regret to hear that it hasn't performed to your standards, particularly with the sound quality with the unit. We are sorry to hear that the wireless headphones had to be returned. For low sound quality, you may refer to this help guide link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752820.html
- To get the sound that you prefer, please try the different sound modes found in the Sony Headphones Connect app. There is even an EQ in there—which can be customized to fine-tune your music to your liking.
- Try playing another source on the device. For example, try another music app to see if the issue is with a particular app.
- When you listen to music from a computer on the headset, sound quality may be poor for the first few seconds after a connection is made. This is caused by the computer transmitting music at sound quality for communications at first, and it is not a malfunction.
The WH-1000XM4 headphones feature a built-in analogue amplifier integrated in the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 realizes an unmatched signal-to-noise ratio for low distortion and exceptional sound quality for portable devices. Powerful 40-mm drivers with Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) diaphragms make the headphones perfect for handling heavy beats and can reproduce a full range of frequencies up to 40 kHz.
We hope you will consider Sony again in a future purchase. Thank you for the feedback.
Regards,
Jess

Probably the best option for noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these for noise cancellation. They were the highest rated with the most decimals they block. Even with that I could still hear my dogs coughs through the night. I have to wear ear plugs and then these to block out the noise. It’s disappointing but finally works so I can sleep. Due to the high cost I started using them for listening to audiobooks when cleaning. They work well for that. I don’t like how sensitive they are at night. If I accidentally touch them, it starts playing and wakes me up.

Posted .Hi DrStrong, You've made an excellent choice! We appreciate your feedback about the noise canceling feature and touch control sensitivity of the unit.
-The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices.
And to ensure optimal noise cancelation, please follow the steps on the link below:
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752735.html
We recommend turning off the touch sensor when you're listening at night to not accidentally activate some of the controls.
Please download the Sony | Headphones Connect app, Go to [System] then Tap the [Touch sensor control panel] switch on the Dashboard to switch the setting between [On] and [Off].

Posted .Hi Thechef, We are so glad to hear that you are happy with the noise cancelling of your new WH-1000XM4. 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. Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while. To get the most out of your WH-1000XM4, download the Sony | Headphones Connect App. It includes Adaptive Sound Control—which automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your activity, and an equalizer—which can be customized to fine-tune your music. -Carl
