Sony XM4 Headphones- Great Quality
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've never owned noise-cancelling headphones before, but I researched various Sony and Bose headphones prior to making a purchase. The Sony XM4 headphones simply have the best noise-cancellation on the market. It's a great pair of headphones for students who easily get distracted by noisy environments. My only complaint is that Sony needs to improve on it's pairing of multiple devices with the headphones. When I am connected to my phone and laptop simultaneously, there is an occasional dinging noise. I still have no idea why, but if you disconnect from your phone, the dinging will stop.

Posted .Hi Lauren,
We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are hearing a noise when using the multipoint function. This isn't normally the case with these headphones. Make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve the issue:

Amazing Performance
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound occlusion is amazing with these headphones. I tried them out at the behest of an employee and was instantly converted. The sound quality and noise cancellation are incredible. I cannot recommend these enough. The only minor gripe is you need to tinker with the setting about auto-cancel of noise cancelling.

Great sound but that price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony always does great with sound coming from their headphones. This pair is no different. And the color navy blue makes it a great catch for me. The price is a little too stiff for me, but when they go on sale, i would jump on it ASAP.

These headphones rock!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First time spending a moderate amount of money on some good audio quality headphones. The connectivity is great and easily interchangeable with all your devices witch was a huge plus for me to be able to switch between my PC and phone. It will automatically switch for you if hooked up properly. I was really curious about where noise cancelling headphone tech was and this was a great example. Almost all ambient noise is blocked out from these especially if the ambient noise is from a distance. The closer it is the more easily it will still be picked up which is great if someone is trying to talk near you, you will still hear them unless the volume is completely blasted. Having kids these help out great for when they are watching tv or playing and having fun and instead of being frustrated i can still enjoy my content. I do not have a lot of other headphones to compare these to but the sound quality far exceeds any headphones I had prior even earbuds. They have extremely punchy and strong sound. You can get them to your desired genre preference using the app it comes with, Amazing high quality headphones at a reasonable price.

Not what I had hoped for.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were very comfortable overall and the performance was not horrible, they left quite a lot to be desired at this price point. In short, the maximum volume is far too low, the sony equalizer app helps but, unless you're an audiologist its "What does this button do?", and lastly the active or adaptive noise cancelation let a ton of environmental noise in. Even its more restrictive setting. I returned and bought another Bose 700.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Evin,
We're glad that you like the comfort of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you were not completely satisfied because of the volume and Adaptive Sound Control. For optimum performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). The overall volume may vary depending on the source content. You do have the option to adjust the volume of the headphones and connected device. The Adaptive Sound Control is designed to automatically adjust the noise canceling function by behavior recognition. You can turn this function off if the noise canceling function becomes insufficient.
Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.
-Ralph

Posted .Hi Mewto, While we are glad to hear that you are happy with the sound quality and noise cancelling of your new WH-1000XM4, we are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the headphones disconnecting while connected to your meetings. We'd love to troubleshoot this issue and make this a better experience for you. In the meantime, if you are using the headphones with your computer for meetings or video conferences, select calling connections (HFP/HSP) and not music playback connections (A2DP). On the speaker settings, select calling connections [Headset (WH-1000XM4 Hands-Free)]. ([Headphones (WH-1000XM4 Stereo)] is for music playback connections.)
On the microphone settings, select calling connections [Headset (WH-1000XM4 Hands-Free)] . When the microphone is not set up, the Speak-to-Chat mode activates when it detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, and the sound from the headset is muted.
