Great sound annoying control
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound great and have a good build quality. The customization of sound output and button function is nicely executed but the touch control on the right side is so annoying I had to turn it off. Would buy again

Amazing Sound Quality and Noise Cancelation
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome Sound. Kind of expensive, but the sound really delivers, especially if you use a 360 app. The buttonless feature takes a little time to get used to, but once you get it, its easy enough.

Decent headphones for the money, not enough bass
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these headphones after hearing lots of good things. Pricey but I was putting it on my best buy card so it’s cool. Out of the box these don’t sound that great honestly. After watching YouTube reviews and searching Reddit, after playing with the sound levels you can get these to sound really good. Only gripe I have really is there could be some more bass. Even with the bass at max it still seems a little lacking. The touch controls are great and easy to use. I really like the noise cancellation and the fact you can put your hand over one ear and it temporarily turns off noise cancellation is really nice. Overall good headphones that sound great but if you like lots of deep bass you might want to keep looking.

Good but not great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable and charges quickly. The noise cacnellation is good, yet the software could be better. While using on an airplane recently I could still hear the rumble/mumble of voice in the background, even though I checked all the settings and they were as they should have been. Like I said good, just not great.

Thank you for sharing your detailed review of your WH1000XM4! We're glad that you like the comfortability, quick charge and sound quality of the headphones.

Make sure to update the software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance.
The noise canceling function works primarily on noise in the low frequency band. Although noise is reduced, it is not completely canceled. Adjust the earpad position to fit your ears. In additional to checking all the settings, check that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned off. When the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on, the noise canceling function may become insufficient.
Thanks for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony!
