Great noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything works as advertised, specially the excellent noise canceling and battery life. I listen to it over 24 hours without worrying about recharging it. The sound is well balanced, the engineering of it didn’t add Lows or Highs like other popular brands such as the Beats does. I like Sony most because of the battery life and noise canceling.

Not Enough Volume for Home Theater
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones worked OK, were easy to connect to home theater by bluetooth and were comfortable to wear. I bought these to use with my home theater to be able to watch movies with loud special effects so I don't disturb my neighbors. Unfortunately, these were volume limited and did not go any louder than where I have to keep my volume now. Plus, there was a noticeable delay when I was watching streaming services.

Posted .Hi Hoopier, Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM4 headphones. We understand that you are experiencing issues with volume limitations and audio delay when using them with your home theater system.
For the audio delay, please try the following steps to remedy the issue:
Update Firmware: Ensure that your headphones are updated to the latest firmware version. This can sometimes improve performance and reduce latency.
Use a Wired Connection: If possible, use a wired connection instead of Bluetooth. This will eliminate the delay entirely.

Really Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow, I can't believe how great these are. I've had a couple of sets of noise canceling headphones in the past, all were on ear and I never really cared for them, these are so comfortable I could wear them 24 hours a day. The noise canceling is fabulous and they look great. Going to Paris soon and can't wait to use them on that flight.

Great over-ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy listening to music with these but it's true that after a while your head starts to hurt a little because of the band and the ear cushions get kind of hot but overall these are great headphones with active noise cancelling literally you can't hear anything outside and I love it when going on the bus.

Works Wonderful!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great! Noise cancelling works well and sounds amazing. Only connects to two devices at a time which is understandable, but limiting.

Theyre not that great but theyre not the worst...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are not great. Theyre not adjustable so if you have a small head theyll never stay put. Mine dont. Ive also noticed that the volume doesnt get very loud. Its almost like the headphones come programmed to be a certain volume and that is the loudest they can go. I neat returned them for this reason. They comfortable as far as the ear part and i do think the noise cancellation feature is pretty cool. I bought me a pair and my husband a pair.

Posted .Hi Lavisha,
We're glad that you like the comfort and noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you were already looking to return the headphones. The headband of the headphones can be adjusted to suit your head shape. You may refer to this link for more information:

For optimum performance, make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). For the best volume experience, turn up the volume of the headset and the connected device. Connect the Bluetooth device to the headset once again.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. This will certainly help us improve our products. Thanks for choosing Sony.

Sonys XM4
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably my first head of headphones since I was young and they are great! Fits comfortably on my head, sound quality is great, and the battery life is totally worth it. I think the noise suppression could be better but it definitely gets the job done.
