Best wireless NC headphones 2020
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is crazy good and they sound good for what they are, not up to the level of Sony's audiophile grade headphones but they still sound pretty clean and are enjoyable to listen to. They're pretty comfortable aswell and have a good battery life.

XM4's are great! (If cash isn't an issue)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely incredible headset! Separates instruments well, can handle some bass, great and full sound, very good noise canceling. Noise canceling is best when playing a little higher than 50% volume, and truly helps you disconnect a little bit.

Essential for work from home
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's pretty easy to become distracted when you work from home and have others making noise around you. The XM4s were worth every penny solely for the excellent noise canceling. TV on in the other room? No worries. Someone's talking on the phone? No problem. They won't block every noise, but if your music is on, odds are that's all you'll hear. As for the sound quality, these will sound phenomenal to anyone who isn't an audiophile. No issues there. I haven't found much use for all the extra features the headphones have - why do I need Google Assistant if my phone is always with me anyway? The autodetection of movement/activty is also more of an annoyance, I've found it much better to use the physical button to switch ANC on or off. Perhaps it would be better if you were on the move often. All around, excellent headphones and worth the investment if you work from home.

Not Enough Volume for Home Theater
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones worked OK, were easy to connect to home theater by bluetooth and were comfortable to wear. I bought these to use with my home theater to be able to watch movies with loud special effects so I don't disturb my neighbors. Unfortunately, these were volume limited and did not go any louder than where I have to keep my volume now. Plus, there was a noticeable delay when I was watching streaming services.

Posted .Hi Hoopier, Thank you for your feedback on the WH-1000XM4 headphones. We understand that you are experiencing issues with volume limitations and audio delay when using them with your home theater system.
For the audio delay, please try the following steps to remedy the issue:
Update Firmware: Ensure that your headphones are updated to the latest firmware version. This can sometimes improve performance and reduce latency.
Use a Wired Connection: If possible, use a wired connection instead of Bluetooth. This will eliminate the delay entirely.
May we contact you to help? If so, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com
