Cuts out all those kids while I work from home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these headphones to work in silence while my wife and kids work in the other room. My mom sleeps with the TV in the room. These headphones have saved me. I wish they came out in March like they said, so waiting until August was not cool. Only downside is how it handles calls/first device, by cutting off the second device. So if you are in a webinar and a spam call comes in, you are out of audio in your meeting. The noise canceling in great. Sound quality is great.

Forget Bose
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been looking for good noise cancelling headphones that also sound good. I found that the bose headphones did a good job in the noise cancel department but really did not impress when it came to music playback. These sony's have done it all and stand above all others in striking that balance point. Overall these headphones are fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone looking for bluetooth, wireless, noise cancel, headphones that don't sound like muddy bose's.

Using our advanced noise canceling technology, we designed these headphones so you can block out noise and experience next-level silence.

Surreal Sound and Noise Cancellation!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Right out the box these headphones are amazing for noise cancellation and just submerging yourself into your playlist. I mainly use these for hitting the gym and I love how I’m just vibing in my own zone. A bit of a hassle when I make any sound and it pauses my playlist to allow me to hear outside noise but aside from that, great headphone which I really enjoyed purchasing at a discount!!

Posted .Hi Rich,
Thanks for giving the product a perfect rating! We're extremely pleased to hear you are very impressed with the excellent noise cancellation and incredible audio of your WH-1000XM4 Headphones. Good to know that your investment is worth it. We're sorry to learn the headphones pauses the music when you make any sound.
The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when it detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, but in rare cases it may activate in response to the voices of other people, ambient environmental sounds, transportation announcements, etc. Disable Speak-to-Chat in cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident. If you want to enable it, hold 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel until you hear the voice guidance say, “Speak-to-chat activated”.
You can also use the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app to switch between enabled/disabled, change the sensitivity of the automatic audio detection, and change the time until the Speak-to-Chat mode ends.
The WH-1000XM4 is a new design, with intelligent and intuitive Ambient Sound Control features that include improvements to Multipoint connection and our industry-leading Noise Cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and Smart Listening that adjusts to your behavior and location. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess

The best sound!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best sound quality headphones for me and based on CNET. It is the best, and loud and the hardware functionality to stop play when you speak to someone and take it off your head is amazingly smart. The sound and hardware. And definitely a need to be able to connect to two devices. The previous only connected to one, and that was an angering inconvenience. Definitely an additional fix worth the upgrade.
