Posted .Hi JohnB,
We're so glad that you are enjoying the overall performance of your WH-1000XM4 and it does have an effective noise canceling for commutes/air travel . The noise canceling function primarily works for noise in the low-frequency band (train, airplane, engine noise). Although noise is reduced, it is not canceled altogether. To ensure optimal performance with noise canceling, please refer to the steps and guidelines from the link below.

Overpriced and underwhelming
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these because they were supposed to have some of the best sound deadening in the industry, but it was mediocre. I have Soundcore Q60’s that do much better sound deadening overall, and are a fraction of the price. Sound quality also was not great compared to open back headphones. I would recommend a pair of cheaper headphones for sound deadening and investing in a good pair of open back headphones for when sound deadening is not needed

Posted .Hi Bidd,
We appreciate your feedback regarding the noise cancellation of the headphones. To make maximum use of the Noise Canceling function, set the Adaptive Sound Control to off (via Sony Headphones Connect app), and manually adjust the Noise Canceling or Ambient Sound Control. 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. To ensure optimal performance with noise canceling, please refer to the steps and guidelines from the link below.

Handy yet complicated
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hurts the ears a bit with the noise cancelling but when I changed the sound settings if works great. A bit too complicated with having the app involved but it’s not impossible to learn and when it sounds the way you want it sounds great!
