Best noise canceling on the market
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Previously owned the M3 version but my girlfriend started using them and didn’t want to give them back. Met her half way on the price and picked up the newer version M4 in blue for myself. Loved my M3’s and love my M4’s just as much. Highly recommended if you want some of the best sound and noise canceling available. You won’t be disappointed!

A travel must
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm really enjoying my headphones. I almost exclusively use them for traveling especially planes. It keeps the lod plane noise out. I don't like flying without them. I'm also very thankful for the cord, as bluetooth and me are not always friendly.

Headphone Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is for a Christmas Gift so not used to date. However, these were tried on in the store and my niece and I both thought they were better than the newer Sony model and Bose. We both have Bose headsets and these Sony are equal to at least the Bose.

Worth every Penny
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Originally I wanted the previous version of these but I’m glad I splurged on the newer model. Sound quality is what I expected and the noise cancelling is the best I’ve experienced. The only issue I run into is that my devices will randomly disconnect once and I’ll have to reconnect. After that there aren’t any issues. Love these either way.

XM4 VERSUS XM5
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really liked these headphones, the only reason I decided to change this for the XM5 is that that model wasn't on display in the store, so I could not compare the sound between my XM4, VS the XM5, so once I tried the XM5 for the 15-day trial I liked the sound of the XM5 better.

Does not live up to all the hype!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great headphones, but they live nowhere near to the hype . The noise canceling is okay but I do not understand how it’s industry leading. They are not that comfy and make my ears sweat. The sound quality is fantastic but they aren’t the loudest. I have also noticed they have a small delay for some reason. Maybe it’s my fault for listening so much to the reviews praising these headphones and me expecting who knows what.

Posted .Hi Imjusthue,
Thank you for the time to write this review. While we are glad you like the WH1000XM4, we're sorry to hear we were not able to meet your full expectations and issues that you are experiencing with the unit. Allow us to help make this experience better.
Industry-leading noise cancellation technology means you hear every word, note, and tune with incredible clarity, no matter your environment. These noise canceling headphones feature additional microphones that assist in isolating sound for a reduction of even more high and mid frequency sounds.
Adjusting the headband and the earpads properly can help reduce discomfort while wearing the headphones. These headphones actually support super-soft, pressure-relieving earpads in foamed urethane evenly distribute pressure and increase ear/pad contact for a stable fit.
Please make sure that the headphones software is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements. You may try some solutions on these links below to troubleshoot issues that you are having with the headphones:
If the effect of noise canceling is not sufficient:

Low sound level:

The audio playback on the headset may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games.
