Posted .Hi MichaelA,
We are glad to hear you find the WH-1000XM4 a nice set of headphones, and we recognize that the preference for our models versus Bose is highly subjective, particularly concerning comfort and the exact noise-canceling profile. While many users prefer the Sony sound quality and advanced features like LDAC support and Speak-to-Chat, the Bose models are often lauded for their lightweight comfort and effective cancellation of specific low frequencies. We encourage you to customize your sound signature using the EQ in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to maximize your enjoyment.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Rattle when in motion.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I listened to the headphones in the store and they sounded great. Really liked the touch features and sound quality. Got home and wore them while mowing the lawn. I couldn't believe that the I was getting a rattling sound as I walked. Its as though something inside the headphone was rattling with every step. The long and short.of it is that they are decent as long as you're motionless, i.e. computer, movie, travel etc, but they are not made to be worn while moving or walking and certainly not while running.

Posted .Hi HifiAudioSystems,
We're glad that you like the touch function and sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are hearing a rattling sound when using these headphones.

Apologies if you disclosed some of this information in your review and to customer service, we just want to ensure that we have your accurate details at the time of communication.

Ok but not worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound was decent but are th ey worth 381$? No. I got almost as good sound from my AirPods Pro for almost half the price. I was also disappointed in the noise cancelling/transparency mode. The noise cancelling was great but the transparency mode was terrible, staticky, and sounded like a recording not actual live talk/noise. I am going with the Apple AirPods max instead and I think that they will have the upper hand on all these features. Also the app used for this was confusing and the free offer for streaming services wouldn’t work.

Posted .Hi Tristan,
We regret to hear that you are not having the best experience with the headphones. Make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. You can also use the app's equalizer function to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs.
Depending on the ambient condition and the type/volume of audio playback, the ambient sound may not be heard even when using the Ambient Sound Mode. Do not use the headset in places where it would be dangerous if you are unable to hear ambient sounds such as on a road with car and bicycle traffic. You can change the settings of the Ambient Sound Mode by connecting the smartphone (with the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app installed) and the headset via Bluetooth connection. Voice focus: Unwanted noise will be suppressed while announcements or people’s voices are picked up, allowing you to hear them as you listen to music.
Your feedback about the ambient sound and Sony app is greatly appreciated. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony!
