Almost perfect
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great for noise canceling and they only fall short of 5 stars because of the crackling in the left ear cup that many others have reported. This is especially during takeoffs for flights.

Posted .Hi Ryan, we are so glad to hear that you are happy with the noise canceling feature of your new WH-1000XM4! For the crackling noise on the left earcup, depending on the surrounding environment, crackling noise may increase when the Ambient Sound Mode is turned on. In that case, cancel the voice focus with the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. If the noise is still significant, turn off the Ambient Sound Mode.
