    They are "okay".. I like the noise cancelling aspect as I drive truck and it helps protect my hearing. Listening to books as I drive and are rather comfortable for long period use. In noisy situations though, the are horrible for use while making a phone call.

      Hi MXmouse, Thank you for your honest review. Please note that 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.

      If you need assistance with your WH1000XM4, please send us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com

    Awesome sound effect and comfort on the ear. But biggest problem is multi device support. I paired it with apple TV and two iPhones and one Mac book. Whenever I turn on the Sony Headphone it's automatically connects last connected device (for example last connected device may be iPhone). If I want to connect to Apple TV, I have to remove the device and pair aging. Sony need to do something on that.

      Hi Wills, while we are glad to hear that you are happy with the comfort and sound quality of your WH1000XM4, we are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with its bluetooth connection feature. Once a device and the headset are paired, there is no need to pair them again. Connect to devices already paired with the headset using the methods necessary for each device.

      For this, if you are pairing the headphones to your TV, please turn off the Bluetooth connection of your mobile device.

      For more information on this, please check our help guide link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752778.html

    Nice headphones, excellent sound quality and noise canceling. Only complaint I have is to get them to recharge. When you plug in the charger It'll charge for 30 seconds and then quit. Sometimes it takes several tries to get them to stay charging. I've heard of several other people having the same issue with them

    This item does what it advertised it would do. The music quality is outstanding. It cancels out noise and when you turn your head to the left or speak, it stops the sound that are coming through the headphones. Attractive appearance, you almost don’t see them when they are on your ears.

    Have had these for a week and I've been using them everyday. Perfect for gaming on a laptop which produce a lot of fan noise. I have enjoyed playing with all the ease of use features and they respond VERY fast to touch. Only gripe I have, they get pretty warm. They are noise cancelling so can't expect that not to be a thing. Know what you are buying and you will enjoy these.

    Awesome sound quality and sound suppression. I can hear everything in videos and none of the outside world with these on. My only complaint is that my ears do get pretty hot after wearing them for a couple hours, but that's to be expected. I got these to be able to work late at night or early in the morning when my family's asleep and they work like a charm.
