Wind Noise In Right Ear Cup
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just got these and on day one I noticed an issue. The Ambient Sound Control is causing a wind-like sound in the right ear cup. When I turn it off in the setting the noise stops but automatically turns back on because of Adaptive Sound Control if your action changes. The ANC isn’t as good as the AirPods Max but I returned them because of the condensation in the ear cups. I was hoping these would be a keeper because of all the hype I saw and read about them online but sadly in my opinion they didn’t live up to the hype so I’m returning them.

Requires geek to set up
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed in comfort, quality of sound and set up issues. Could not get sound from new smart TV to pair with them and they would only work when wired to my iPad. Ear pads were fine but head band hurt after awhile. Granted, 95% of problems probably could have been corrected if I paid over $200 to contract with Geek Squad to fix, but I sincerely have a problem with the new “smart” technology requiring the services if trained technicians to set them up, especially when manufacturers brag about how easy set up is.

Get XB-900H instead
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did not find 1000XM4 very comfortable and exchange them for XB-900h. For my taste 900H has the same sound quality and fit my ears much more comfortable and they are twice cheaper.

Posted .Hi Nikolay,
We regret to hear that you had to return the WH1000XM4 headphones because they didn't live up to your needs. The WH1000M4 does feature an adjustable headband for optimum fit and comfort. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, you can also adjust the equalizer function to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs.
Sony takes all feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve your products.
Thanks for sharing your review and we hope you enjoy the Sony WH-XB900N.

Sound good, until they don’t
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great headphones, but I’ve recently started to hear some crackling noises from the headphones. Sounds almost like a blown speaker. I never listen to music too loud and I’ve only had them for a month, so I’m not sure what’s going on. Needless to say, I’m sending them back to the store for a refund. I hope Sony can get they’re quality control back to where it was a few years ago. I’ve had quite a few other Sony products go bad within a year or so of purchase.. Kind of sad to spend so much money for “quality”, but end up getting the opposite.

Posted .Hi Andrew,
We regret to hear that you're hearing unwanted noise on your headphones. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. Make sure to update the firmware of the headphones by performing a software update (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. Doing so may resolve the issue.
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/downloads
You may hear noise (such as a creak, click, or static) through the WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones when traveling through tunnels, or other environments which air pressure changes easily, even if the noise canceling function is on. When the Noise Canceling function is set to ON, you may also hear a White noise (a small electrical noise with continuous static sound). If this occurs, temporarily turn off the Noise Canceling function. Also, please remove any obstacles between the antenna of the connecting Bluetooth device and the built-in antenna of the headset and keep the headset away from a microwave oven, wireless LAN device, etc.
If you still have the unit, we recommend performing the steps provided on the links below to refresh the content of your headphones.
