Sony Quality as Expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My only complaint is the voice activation shuts off the headphones momentarily. Also if you cough or clear your throat. It can be frustrating. I have utilized them for watching TV, music and Video watching. They are comfortable and do not get hot too quickly. I would purchase them again and recommend them to a friend.

Posted .Hi Backwoodscommuter, thanks for sharing your feedback. While we are glad that you like the quality we are sorry that the voice activation shuts off the headphones. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. You can turn on/off the voice guidance.
To turn the voice guidance on/off, please install the Sony | Headphones Connect app on your smartphone. Select [Notification & Voice Guide] from the Dashboard to set the notification and voice guidance to be heard from the headphones.
The WH-1000XM4 is a new design, with intelligent and intuitive Ambient Sound Control features that include improvements to Multipoint connection and our industry-leading Noise Cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and Smart Listening that adjusts to your behavior and location.

Decent purchase..still figuring it out
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the headphones. It sounds great and the nose cancellation is better than any other headphones in this price range. The only thing I'm struggling with is that sometimes it keeps pausing and randomly connects and disconnects automatically which is a little annoying. I'm not sure if anyone else has faced this of if just this piece is faulty.

Sony xm4 great headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are excellent, I would put them up against any other headphone in its class. The Bose 700 and the Sony are neck and neck, so rest assured you are in the same ball park. using the app to control functions is very easy to use

Good cans. They gave me a headache...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XM4's have great sound. I compared them with the Bose Q45s to see which sounded better and most comfortable. The XM4s sound was ok. It didn't blow my socks off. I think sound is subjective. Comfort-wise, the Sony's gave me a headache. I could not wear them all day when focusing when I am WFH. Too much squeeze on my head. Many reviews say that the XM4s are some of the best on the market. (I didn't try the XM5 because I want folding headphones.) However, I preferred the lighter, smaller profile Q45s over the heavier XMs. ANC was about equal. I also tried the new Beats Studio Pro that recently came out. I loved the sound. They were NOT comfortable. So.... the XM4 are good cans. I liked them. However, I prefer my Q45s. I forget they are on my head.
