||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.

Best Headphones I’ve Ever Had
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are absolutely great. I just picked them up today and used them, and the audio and noise cancelling quality is incredible. The app is also really easy to use. I was gonna get the Bose 700’s at first, but I chose these instead, and I am not disappointed. I highly recommend these.

Great if they fit
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything about these is great. The one issue is user dependent - which is that the ear cups might bother your ears after a while. If they do, maybe the new version is a better choice. If they don’t, lucky you. The price to quality here now is excellent.

Great audio quality, poor mic noise cancellation
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Summary: Great audio quality, poor mic noise cancellation quality = AVERAGE Overall Rating I purchased these headset as I have moved to work from home and do not have an enclosed office to work from. I am just steps away from the kitchen and the living room and there are no walls/doors in between. I needed headsets that would eliminate the background noise picked up by the mic in calls. These headsets are not the solution for that. AUDIO: 5 Starts. Its probably the best audio output I've ever had on headsets. I come from wearing BOSEQuet comfort and these are better by A LOT! so if you need a headset that allows you to hear audio while eliminating the surrounding noises, I highly recommend this headsets. It has some other perks like ability to enable audio from environment automatically which works pretty well. MIC: 1 star. There is no active noise cancellation. I'm not sure if this was my mistake, could have been... but I read on some reviews that it worked as such... it definitely does not eliminate environment noise picked up by the mic in calls. In fact the feedback I got from people on calls is that it even enhances it... I used it with a DELL laptop, a MacBook Pro, an iPhone and an iPad, overall the results were the same (better feedback when in calls over the phone).

The best headphones I ever had
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This pair of headphones works seamlessly. The Noise-Cancelling is awesome. I love that you can connect to two devices at the same time. Covering the headphone with your hand to hear outside noise is nice touch. I would highly recommend those headphones to anyone.

Excellent noise cancelling headphone.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noise cancelling headphone. Comparing to my old Bose QC35, this headphone fares better in term of sound quality and features. I am still not use to using gestures to control the headphone. The phone automatically detects when I talk and stop the music. In a noisy environment, this features mistook someone else talking next to me, sometimes does not work well and stop my music when I am not even talking. Kind of annoying.

Posted .Hi Dabraddah,
You made the right choice with the Sony WH1000XM4 headphones! We're glad that you are enjoying the amazing features of the headphones particularly the sound quality and noise canceling function.
Your feedback about the Speak-to-Chat function is greatly appreciated. The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when it detects the speech of the person wearing the headset. In places with a lot of noise, the speech of the person wearing the headset may not be detected, and the Speak-to-Chat mode may not activate. If this is the case, speak longer and louder. In some cases, in extremely noisy environments such as a train station or airports, the Speak-to-Chat mode may not activate even when speaking longer and louder.
Note: By changing the sensitivity of the automatic audio detection in the Sony | Headphones Connect app, the Speak-to-Chat mode can be easier to activate. Unfortunately, this may also activate accidentally the Speak-to-Chat in response to the voices of other people, ambient environmental sounds, transportation announcements, etc.
Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony!
