Best over-ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had these for probably a couple years now. I use them when working and for taking work calls. The audio is awesome, and people can never tell I am using headphones, which is a plus. There are a ton of things you can do with these that I don't use anymore, but they can be quite helpful.

Great headphone with just one flaw
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are planning to use this headphone mostly on a Windows machine please take a note that you cant use LDAC on Windows and iOS devices. While on iOS devices AAC format creates good sound, they have omitted the aptX so the sound code is limited to a very old SBC format on Windows. I am not an audiophile myself but can hear some sound differences between my Windows machine (SBC) and iPhone (AAC). I didn't know this when bought the item, and if I knew probably look somewhere else. But, I can't say I am 'that' disappointed, the product is great and the battery life is really good.

Posted .Hello jmk1,
Thank you so much for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you find the WH1000XM4 headphones to be good. We value your comments regarding the effectiveness of the noise cancellation feature.
To ensure you get the best performance, we recommend adjusting the settings in the "Sony | Headphones Connect" app. For an optimal experience, please set the [Ambient Sound Control] to [Noise Canceling] mode. Keep in mind that if you have Adaptive Sound Control enabled, it could impact the noise-canceling effectiveness, so you may want to consider modifying that setting as well.
For detailed instructions, please refer to the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752735.html.
