Not worth the money.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Where is the volume? A salesperson told me these would pump out the volume and bass better than Beats Pro or Beats Studio 3. He was wrong. I have wireless headphone from Seinheisser, Klipsch and Beats. Beats is the loudest, most bass kicking headphone out of them all. I returned them them within hours of purchasing these. Don’t bother.

Posted .Hi MamaSal05,
Thank you for purchasing our WH-1000XM4 Wireless Industry Leading Noise Canceling Overhead Headphones.
We regret that these headphones did not meet your expectations and had to be returned. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. We truly appreciate all of your feedback as it helps us improve our products.
Although we cannot compare the subjective experience of sound quality between these headphones and other brands. we can guarantee you that these are designed to provide exceptional sound quality. When designing this version of the WH1000X we payed close attention to this detail because it is highly sought after from our customers.
In addition, you can also customize the sound to fine tune to your music using the headphones connect app. This will give you more control over your headphones and their performance.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and we hope you'll consider Sony in your future purchase.
Sincerely,
Erin

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendRequires 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.
