Poor noise cancellation. Not worth the price.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancellation is a joke. Bought these mainly for noise cancellation. Troubleshooting guide says, it does not cut any noise for people talking / human voices in the background or anything other than low frequency sounds (such as airplane engine..). Not how it is advertised... Practically unusable in a noisy environment.

Posted .Hi ABREVIEW,
We're sorry to hear if the noise canceling features of the WH1000XM4 did not live up to your expectations. We understand your needs in using this feature. Allow us to help make this a better experience.
If the effect of the noise canceling is not effective, please check the following:
Make sure that the noise canceling function is turned on.
Adjust the headset into a comfortable position.
The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices.
Check that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned off.
Check the setting of the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. When the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on, the noise canceling function may become insufficient.
With the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, check the setting of [Ambient Sound Control]. If it is set to [Wind Noise Reduction] or [Ambient Sound], the effect of noise canceling is reduced. Set it to the noise canceling mode.
Disable Speak-to-Chat, and check whether the situation has improved.
Check with the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app whether the function of the CUSTOM button is set to [Ambient Sound Control].
You may refer to this Help Guide link on using the noise canceling function:

Static noise prevalent - BestBuy and Sony IGNORE
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Static noise in one ear cup and literally no response from Best Buy or Sony Customer Service. For a premium headphone, this is really disappointing and turns me off to both Best Buy and Sony.

Posted .Hi there, we regret to hear that you are having issues with the WH-1000XM4 Headphones. We'd love to troubleshoot this and make this a better experience for you. First, please make sure that the headphones are up to date as this will improve the overall performance of the headphones. You may use the Headphones Connect app to update the WH-1000XM4 Headphones. Resetting and Initializing the headphones will also help on resolving the issue.
To reset, press both the (power) button and the CUSTOM button simultaneously while charging. The headset will be reset. The device registration (pairing) information is not deleted. If the issue still occurs, please initialize the headphones.
To initialize, turn off the headset while the USB Type-C cable is disconnected and then press and hold the (power) button and the CUSTOM button simultaneously for 7 seconds or more. The indicator (blue) flashes 4 times, and the headset is initialized. This operation resets volume settings, etc. to the factory settings, and deletes all pairing information. In this case, delete the pairing information for the headset from the device and then pair them again.
Should you need further assistance, please let us know.

no driver found
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a period of time these worked really well. Then, they stopped working. I tried reinstalling them to no avail. I kept getting the message: "no driver found". Sony doesn't provide drivers on their website and apparently has removed them from Windows update for Win7-64. So, I now have some really good sound deadening earmuffs. This is the last Sony product I will buy. Any manufacturer that does not provide drivers is off of my list.
