Squeals feel like an ice pick in the ear drum
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these, but after three months, they started to squeal on the right side. I know I use them too much, but my previous pairs all lasted from six months to over a year. Hopefully, the next version will be better.

Posted .Hi bookriot, While we are glad to hear that you are enjoying your WH-1000XM4 headphones, we are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the right earcup. White noise (a small electrical noise with continuous static sound) is heard. This happens because of the Noise Canceling function. To avoid white noise, turn off the Noise Canceling function.
If you are experiencing white noise while using the WH-1000XM4, please try these steps to troubleshoot the issue with your WH1000XM4. First, please make sure that the headphones are up to date with its software. You may follow this link to update: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/software/00261613
When the Noise Canceling or Ambient Sound Control is On, the vibration of walking or running may be transmitted from your body and cause noise. To avoid this, turn Off the Noise Canceling or Ambient Sound Control.
If the noise is heard when you push the headphones into your ears, or when you tap the touch sensor strongly. This temporary noise can happen because of the Noise Canceling or Ambient Sound Control function and air-tightness of the headphones. This is normal, and not a malfunction.
For more information, please check our related article link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/articles/00273844

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for the intention of gaming, music, work, etc. It had a ton of features, a specific app, great audio quality, however, it has one major flaw. As soon as I tried gaming with them, it became extremely muffled. Idk why but it thought it was background noise so it tried to tune the sound out which defeated the whole purpose. As far as I could tell it was only me who was affected. Will be returning these within an hour of purchase.
