Some of the best over the ear at headphones
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my daughter for over the year headphones she had an older pair that finally went out. She had them for years. We replaced them with these because she researched all the Sony headphones and these among the best after she got them, she absolutely fell in love with them and uses them constantly

Finding The One
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been on the hunt for the best work out headphones and when I tell you I’ve been running back and forth to Best Buy three times in the past two weeks. These are the best ones to purchase because of the research I did for the best recommended ones in the market after my last two attempts at finding “the one” mind you, I’m not an electronics person but I was looking to become physically healthy again and needed to find the right tools that will help me make it fun.

Amazing Sound Quality and Noise Cancelation
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome Sound. Kind of expensive, but the sound really delivers, especially if you use a 360 app. The buttonless feature takes a little time to get used to, but once you get it, its easy enough.

The BEST headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had many pairs of over the ear headphones throughout the years, and NOTHING compares to these. (I don’t leave reviews for any product) they are comfortable, actually noise cancelling and just overall great quality. Ever since I bought them, I’ve been using them daily. Great for studying, I got them so could focus on writing my masters thesis. Highly recommend treating yourself with one of these!

Great headphones that don't last.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. These are the most comfortable, best sounding headphones I have ever had. Better than a comparable Bose. The problem is they don't last. I bought them in 2022. After several months the battery stopped charging. Looked on Youtube, talked to tech support and tried all of the resets. Nothing worked. They sent me a brand new pair. I was very happy. Less than a year later the exact same thing happened. They sent me another pair. Now that pair is not charging. Talked to customer service and they said the origninal pair has a 1 year warranty, replacements only have a 90 day warranty. So 3 pair in two years, all with the same problem. Apparently this is a common problem because there are videos all over youtube. So even though I loved them I cannot spend another $350 on a pair of headphones that have never lasted even a year. Bose here I come.

Very good with one exception
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancellation is excellent. Comfort is very good. Works great with all my devices EXCEPT my android phone (Samsung Galaxy S10+). I can hear well with it but the microphone doesn’t work with the phone, so have to hold it up to use phone mic. But decided to keep it because it is otherwise great,

Good but not great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable and charges quickly. The noise cacnellation is good, yet the software could be better. While using on an airplane recently I could still hear the rumble/mumble of voice in the background, even though I checked all the settings and they were as they should have been. Like I said good, just not great.

Posted .Hi Denmeister3,
Thank you for sharing your detailed review of your WH1000XM4! We're glad that you like the comfortability, quick charge and sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you're not having the best experience with these headphones. Make sure to update the software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. We appreciate your feedback regarding the noise cancellation of this XM4. Make sure to update the software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance.
The noise canceling function works primarily on noise in the low frequency band. Although noise is reduced, it is not completely canceled. Adjust the earpad position to fit your ears. In additional to checking all the settings, check that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned off. When the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on, the noise canceling function may become insufficient.
Thanks for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony!
