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.

Good, but not amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The midnight blue color is beautiful. Sound wise, I wasn't blown away and expected much more for this price point. Ultimately, I decided to return the item because pairing to Bluetooth devices requires using the Sony app, which is pretty inconvenient if you're used to easy pairing with Apple devices.

Ear pain
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ear pain after a few minutes of use. The touch buttons work alright. Sound is good. Again my biggest pain with this product is that it's not for everyone. People with ears that sti k out even a little from average will experience pain.

Posted .Hi kenji,
We're glad that you like the sound quality and touch controls of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are not having the best experience with its comfort. Make sure to adjust the headband for optimum fit and comfort. You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue. Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while.
Sony takes all feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony.

Posted .Hi RonS, we're really sorry to hear that you had a bad experience on your first flight with your new WH-1000XM4s. That's definitely not what you should expect from these headphones.
We can try a few simple things that often clear this right up:
-Make sure you use the Sony | Sound Connect app and run the "NC Optimizer" function. It basically calibrates the Noise Cancelling for your specific fit and the current atmospheric pressure.
-A quick reset can fix many minor electronic glitches. With the headphones plugged into charging, press and hold the Power and Custom buttons at the same time. The headset will be reset. Find detailed instructions here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752743.html
-Just to be sure, connect them to the app and check if there's any new firmware update available.
If the issue continues, please reach out to our support team for further assistance at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
Thanks for considering Sony and for bringing this to our attention.

Good, but Inferior Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was not thrilled with these headphones. The noise-cancellation is inferior to the Airpod Max Pros and, while they are approximately $200-250 cheaper, it was enough of an issue for me that I returned them and then bought the Airpod Max Pros from my local Best Buy.
