Good, but Inferior Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was not thrilled with these headphones. The noise-cancellation is inferior to the Airpod Max Pros and, while they are approximately $200-250 cheaper, it was enough of an issue for me that I returned them and then bought the Airpod Max Pros from my local Best Buy.

Posted .Hi stanley,
We're sorry if the noise canceling feature of our WH-1000xM4 didn't live up to your expectations. This is definitely not the news that we would like to hear. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. If you haven't tried yet, please follow the troubleshooting steps below to isolate the problem:
• Make sure that the noise cancelling function is turned on.
• Adjust the headset into a comfortable position.
• 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.
• When the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app is turned on, the wearer's actions, like walking or running, are detected. The noise canceling function is automatically adjusted and the Ambient Sound Mode may be activated according to these actions. To make the most of the noise canceling function, turn off the Adaptive Sound Control, and try to turn on the noise canceling function manually when you need it.
• With the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, check the setting of [Ambient Sound Control]. If it is set to [Ambient Sound], the effect of noise canceling is reduced. Set it to the noise canceling mode.
• Check with the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app whether the function of the NC/AMB button is set to [Ambient Sound Control].
If the issue persists, please refer to the following article:

Complex and faulty
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These aren’t what you’d call plug-and-play. It takes about an hour to set up. Just over a month after purchasing I find myself Googling solutions to its various charging faults. I have had to do a factory reset twice and I’m about to send it back to Sony for repair.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for the intention of gaming, music, work, etc. It had a ton of features, a specific app, great audio quality, however, it has one major flaw. As soon as I tried gaming with them, it became extremely muffled. Idk why but it thought it was background noise so it tried to tune the sound out which defeated the whole purpose. As far as I could tell it was only me who was affected. Will be returning these within an hour of purchase.

My $100 earphones sound beter
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought them and used them for nearly a month, going after all the "best noise cancelling headphones ever" reviews. Sure, they cancel out most noise, but what's the point of that if they're going to sound bad? My Bose SoundSport Wireless (2 year old) earphones sound WAY better than these ~$300 headphones. I didn't have a lot of expectations going in for a Sony (being used to Bose/JBL). Somehow, I still came out disappointed. Would NOT recommend to anyone who cares about audio quality even one bit :(
