All around good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic headphones! Sound, battery life and features are all top notch. Wish the weight was a little better distributed on the top of head but improvements on the ear over last year much appreciated. Wish was a little better integrated with iPhone and the app was a little smoother.

Best headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good quality and worth the money! I’ve been thinking about purchasing this headphones for a while and I was having second thoughts because of the price but then I decided to finally buy it and it became the best purchase I’ve made this year. Sound quality was superb! It was easy to connect and I’m glad i can connect to 2 devices at the same time. It was also available for pick up so fast so i’m really happy about that.

Sound is Amazing but Phone calls not so
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just purchased the Midnight Blue pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones. After listening to music every day on them since I purchased, I can say the sound is amazing, I would say the best sounding headphones I have. The noise-cancelling feature is much better then my old pair. But talking on the phone is not so good especially for the other person. When on the phone my voice fades in and out to where the other person I’m talking to can’t hear me but they are crystal clear to me. I have the latest version of firmware 2.5.0 and it’s disappointing that a $349 pair of headphones can’t conduct a phone call. If phone calls are important to you I would advice not to get these but if sound quality while listening to music is then these are great.

Posted .Hi rtford31, we're glad you like the sound quality of our newest industry-leading noise canceling headphones. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with your SONY unit. Use the Bluetooth device to re-establish the connection. Select HFP or HSP for the profile. Use a smartphone or mobile phone at least 50 cm (19.69 in.) away from the headset. Noise may result if the smartphone or mobile phone is too close to the headset.
The WH-1000XM4 headphones offer further improvements to our industry-leading noise cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and smart listening that adjusts to your behavior and your location. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. For total convenience, WH-1000XM4 headphones can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connect to the right one automatically. You'll also be able to quickly, smoothly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl

Great all around heaphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these impulsively, but dont regret this purchase at all. Great sound and fit. Love that they fold down so easily and are very portable with the case. Incredible battery life. Easy to control and charge. The only downside really is that after a few hours I do start to feel that they start to hurt due to them squeezing my head a bit.

Great Heaphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound for these headphones are great. I really don't have any major complaints about them. I would just say that they are sensitive to touch, so if you are using them while moving around a lot, turn off the touch controls so that the music won't randomly pause.
