Sony WHXM4s: An Honest Assessment
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After trying out the Sony WHXM4 headphones, I decided to return them due to underwhelming performance. Despite the initial hype, the audio quality fell short of expectations, lacking the immersive experience I sought. Additionally, issues with comfort and fit affected prolonged usage. While the noise-canceling feature is commendable, the overall package didn't meet my standards. I opted for a different option that better suits my audio preferences and comfort needs.

Good Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good set of headphones. Only complaint is that the microphone when on calls does not isolate noise very well.

Posted .Hi blep, Thank you for your positive feedback on the WH1000XM4. We appreciate your comment about the microphone's noise isolation during calls. The noise-canceling technology in our headphones is designed to reduce ambient noise for the user, but it does not extend to the microphone used for calls. This means that while you benefit from reduced background noise, the person on the other end of the call may still hear some ambient sounds. We are continuously working to improve our products and your feedback is valuable in helping us enhance the user experience. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam

Not worth the money in upgrades over the 1000XM3
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these as a replacement for the WH-1000X3. (Thank you geek squad protection plan!) Not much difference in sound quality, extra bluetooth pairing to second device is great.

Average premium built!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Premium design but has issues connecting to multiple device. Every time you have disconnect form device#1 and then connect to device #2. It doesn't switch between device 1 to 2 automaically. I still love my Bose QC series better than this.

Returned due to annoying app
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones have pretty good quality. However, the app is confusing to use, and was annoying to keep headphones on the noise-canceling setting because it would automatically sense your motion and turn it on ambient mode

Thank you for the review and we do apologize for the inconvenience. To turn off the Ambient Sound Mode. Press the CUSTOM button repeatedly until the Ambient Sound Mode is turned off. Each time the button is pressed, the function switches as follows and is announced by the voice guidance.

Connects Two Devices Simultaneously

Great audio, so so microphone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is amazing, best headphones I’ve ever had in that regard and no problems ever. Unfortunately, the microphone array leaves quite a bit to be desired. Constantly cuts out and everyone tells me the volume fluctuates constantly and with extreme variation.
