Creaking/popping noise
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are very good. I love the sound and the noise cancelling is top notch. My main issue with my unit is the left earcup/band makes some kind of subtle creaking sound/popping noise whenever i move my head. It is quite distracting when I am trying to listen to music. I expected better quality control considering this is a $350 headset.

Noise Reducing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It lessens some of the outside sound, but not all sounds are equally muted. Don't expect a miracle for it to be completely sound proof, but it will lessen some of the noises. Ear cups are soft and there is some padding for the top of the head. The case is sturdy too. You can use earplugs with the headphones for a better level of noise reduction.

Great Headphone
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I only have one complaint about this excellent headset. When you move your head to the music, there's a sound that interferes with the sound when I use Bluetooth, When they are wired, it does not happen. Maybe it has something to do with the microphones. If you cannot move your head to the music, that is a problem.

Posted .Hi Ricardo,
Thank you for reaching out to us. We're glad to hear you like the WH1000XM4. However, we're sorry to hear some issues that you are experiencing with the headphones. Bluetooth communications may be disabled, or noise or audio dropout may occur under the following conditions:
When there is a human body between the headset and the Bluetooth device
In this case, put the Bluetooth device in the same direction as the antenna of the headset to improve the Bluetooth communications.
When there is an obstacle, such as metal or a wall, between the headset and the Bluetooth device
In places with wireless LAN, where a microwave oven is used, electromagnetic waves are generated, etc.
Where there are other wireless communication audio devices or other people nearby, such as in train station premises or on a crowded train
You may try some solutions on this link below to resolve this issue:

Speak to chat is annoying
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's comfortable and it fits well. The quality of the materials are really good. The only thing that I hate about this headphones are the speak to chat feature. It does not make sense to me. It's very sensible and it gets really annoying. I have it disabled on my phone so I don't run into interruptions.

Great, but not perfect...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In terms of everything else on he market, it for sure is the best in its league. However with that being said, transitioning from Apple AirPods Pro's to these frustrate me slightly, as they take quite a bit longer to automatically connect to my phone. Not a whole big deal, but a very noticeable difference and over time becomes annoying.

Love them
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After three months daily use, and a couple business trips im very pleased with my choice!! Theres a review on YouTube by “This is tech today” that gave an overview on these plus other (Bose, beats, Apple etc) headphones. I chose these and in my opinion Id say they're the best choice for price, sound, and style.

A Really good Pair of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They’re not out of the box ready. The Bluetooth connectivity can be quite fussy. It’s not as seamless as AirPods for example, but once you customize them in the app they’re a great every day pair of headphones. Serviceable for anyone whom is not an audiophile.
