Very sweet noise-cancellation.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only other time I've ever used a noise-cancelling headphones was at the shooting-range. It works similar but not that extreme. I used these to study in Starbucks during heavy traffic. It does well in blocking, enough to concentrate and still be able to faintly hear your named being called.

Love this Headphones - Noise Canceling is 2nd to n
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Some of the best noise-canceling headphones I have ever owned and it's why Sony is at the top of the food chain for noise cancellations. The only con is they are comfortable for a few hours but if you wear glasses they may start to become a little less comfortable after a couple of hours.

Great wireless headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. Great audio quality using my LG V35 as the source with LDAP Bluetooth. Noise canceling seemed OK but the real test will be when I fly with them next month. Haven't tried ising the wired connection yet. Only complaint that I am sure I can fix by tweaking the software is that the headphones are too sensitive and pause playing whenever you make a sound, even clearing your throat. I realize this is a feature to pause playing when you start a conversation but it is just too sensitive.

Better than before!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There's a reason why they call this the king! The new sensor that stops media from playing is sensitive enough where it doesn't feel like a gimmick. The only one wish I have is more control for the multi-device; there should be a switch in app to switch instead of having to disconnecting one of the devices. Other than that, amazing!

Great, Connection takes longer than necessary
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these, only thing is that while they immediately say "bluetooth connected" when I turn them on, they actually take a while to pair. There's been a few awkward moments where I immediately play my music or podcast and they haven't actually connected.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience, Zara13!
We are thrilled that you love your WH-1000XM4—they are fantastic for both sound and industry-leading noise cancellation!
We sincerely apologize for the brief but awkward delay between the "Bluetooth connected" voice prompt and the actual functional pairing. That moment where you immediately start your audio only to have nothing play is certainly frustrating, as we aim for a completely seamless experience.
This behavior can sometimes be related to how quickly the source device (phone/laptop) completes its handshake with the headphones. To potentially smooth this out, have you tried these two steps?
Please ensure your headphones are running the latest firmware via the Sony | Headphones Connect App. We frequently issue updates that improve connection reliability and speed.
Sometimes, temporarily removing the XM4s from your device's Bluetooth list ("Forget Device") and then re-pairing them can reset the connection profile for faster linking.
If the issue persists after trying those steps, our support team can look into more advanced diagnostics. You can reach them here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
Thank you again for choosing Sony!
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team
