Class leading noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had the prior version WH-1000XM3 for about 18 months, and absolutely was amazed by the sound and noise cancellation, absolutely worth it for several flights. These have kept everything I loved about the prior units and, improved in a few small areas, such as multiple Bluetooth connection capability.

Great Headphones before they broke down
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was happy when I first got these headphones, great audio quality and the ability to connect to two sepearte sources if I wanted to was a plus. NFC Support was also something that mattered to me. I am also a fan of Flac audio and this with it's low compression blue tooth technology made it really stand out. Carrying case and proper cables also a plus. Now the reason I like to wait a few months before leaving reviews. This thing just won't hold a charge anymore. Originally I thought it was my power adapters, but it was like that on 3 different ones. I plugged it into my laptop straight usb C to usb C, started to charge, I unplugged it to check it's battery life, got to 90%, Plug it back in and it's refusing to charge again. Not acceptable for the price I paid for these. Only reason I upgraded from the previous generation was they got stolen out of my car. If you do buy these, I recommend the protection plan as it will save you from dealing with the manufacturer. I will be cashing mine in very soon!

New NC King
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned Bose noise cancelling headphones for years. Was up for upgrading my QC35 II and debating over this and the Bose 700. The new Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones is a clear winner compared to other noise cancelling headphones in the same price range.

sound options great/ NC not quiet as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound choice is amazing. The vocal is great. The extra bass boost is also great for ear. However, the Nosie cancelling feature is not as good as advertised. I believe Bose NC 700 noise cancelling level of 10 is better than this. I already compared this in NYC subway. Bose noise cancelling is way better. However, you can choose sound options on SONY through app.

Posted .Hi sonyheadphones,
We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that the noise canceling function is not living up to your expectations. Make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance.
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.
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 . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I listen to pornography while I work. It helps me focus. Only thing I hate is having to wear a diaper. The headphones are very beautiful like that girl who looked at my yesterday at Best Buy. I think she likes me. Mine have the reverse noise cancelling. Nobody can hear what I’m listening to. Great!

Solid Buy
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really great ANC. Found them on sale and couldn't pass them up. I'm sure the newer model is slightly better, but the cost savings makes buying these the better decision. Sound is good and ANC works well. Case was nice.
