Sound Quality Is Good That’s About It
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve used these headphones for many purposes and they’re not very comfortable compared to the BOSE and they don’t sit firmly on my head when at the gym. Yes I know these aren’t made to be used at the gym but every time I lay down on a bench the top part of the headphones comes loose and they fall backwards as I sit up. In general they’re very warm around the ears and my ears aren’t big by any means but they touch the inside of the ear cups. The sound quality is great but the noise cancellation isn’t what I expected. To be honest by AirPods Pro noise cancellation is just a little under what these are capable of.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend TV and Speakers purchase

A 7th grader couldnt do it
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Instructions are convoluted. Im not a caveman I don’t like looking at pictures. I’m not an ancient Egyptian and I don’t like reading hieroglyphs to learn how to do stuff. Give me step by step instructions out of the box! That’s part of what I’m paying for these instructions are NOT easy. I bought these headphones for my hard of hearing 93 year old father in-law to watch TV. I have Sony smart TVs in the house so I thought I’d by Sony headphones thinking they’d be easy to connect and operate - they’re NOT!

A Disappointing Follow-up To WH-1000XM3
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The previous model XM3 was superb but these, for me, did not live up to expectations. To begin with, I was a bit disappointed that I could not connect the headphones via bluetooth to two computers at once since the required app can only be used for a pc and a mobile device but not two pc's from what I can tell. The other unfortunate issue is the background noise while in noise canceling mode. I also noticed my connection drops out every few seconds. I'm really disappointed with this purchase, I expected a much better build.

Posted .Hi SirReginaldSpud, We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing connection drops on the WH-1000XM4 and that the noise-canceling of the WH-1000XM4 Headphones did not meet your expectations and you are hearing background noises while the noise-canceling is on. We'd love to troubleshoot the issue and make this a better experience for you. In the meantime, please make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. For the noise-canceling feature, please check if 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.
Also, adjust the headset into a comfortable position. This will help improve the noise-canceling of the headphones.
For the Multi-point feature, the WH-1000XM4 is capable of connecting to 2 mobile devices, 1 computer, and 1 phone.
For more information on the multipoint connection feature please check our related article link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/articles/00249936

Not what I expected
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the 1000xm3s and had them for a while and love them. But I discovered you can use them as a gaming headset but the sound quality was bad while in discord. I found out that the 1000xm4s came out and expected them to fix the Bluetooth handicap only to buy them and find out it was the same problem. Not only that, but I am getting way worse battery life than my 1000xm3s and I honestly think the sound quality isn't as good or as loud. The noise cancelation is better however but that isn't worth $350 to me. I will be returning them soon.

Posted .Hi BetterIngredients,
We regret to hear that it hasn't lived up to your expectations. We're glad that you like the improvement of the noise canceling function. Make sure to update the software of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. You can also use the equalizer function of the app to adjust the sound quality depending on your needs.
Battery life may vary depending on the settings and conditions of use. Please refer to this link for more information:

We are disappointed that you are considering returning the WH1000XM4 headphones. If the recommendations I shared do not help and you decide not to keep them, we hope you still consider Sony for your future purchases.
Thanks for sharing your review.
