Sony - WH1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-th
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a Christmas present for my teen. I read reviews on all noise canceling headphones and this had great reviews. Bestbuy had the cheapest price and in blue. She loves it and I tried it out too. It definitely does work at canceling out noise.

Not much improvement
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very similar to the previous model including functions and sound qualities. $280 will be a good price to get this item. For full price, it's not worth it. Get the XM3 instead for cheaper.

Posted .Hi mich2k,
We appreciate your feedback about the headphones. There have been some great upgrades to the WH1000XM4 from the WH1000XM3.
The WH1000XM4 utilizes DSEE Extreme™️ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) which upscales compressed digital music files in real-time. Dynamically recognizing the instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of each song, such as vocals or interludes, it restores the high-range sound lost in compression for a richer, more complete listening experience.
Also, the WH1000XM4 features smart listening technology to enhance your listening. With this, you can simply start speaking to automatically pause your music in Speak-to-Chat, or enjoy adaptive playback thanks to the proximity sensor and two acceleration sensors that detect whether your headphones are being worn or not.
The WH1000XM4 also allows you to connect to 2 devices simultaneously.
Finally, we also gently adjusted the design of the headphones. We added more cushioning to the headband and ear padding. We also changed the outside dimensions of the headphones slightly so they sit more comfortably over your head.
Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony.

Exactly what I needed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome headphone! They were exactly what I needed and more. I was searching for some noise cancelling headphones to help block off noise while I studied. These did the job perfectly. They also project crisp sound for music. I love the feature in which it automatically pauses while speaking. I'm glad I can engage in a quick conversation and continue where I left off with my lectures of music.

Review of Sony Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bass in these headphones are amazing! However, it is confusing at times to remember which way to swipe across the headphones to turn up the volume or switch songs. I’ve also noticed that the headphones will change from noise cancellation to ambient without me doing it and I don’t know if that’s a simple fix or if it’s something else.

Posted .Hi JheneS,
We are thrilled to hear you're loving the amazing bass on your WH-1000XM4 headphones. Regarding the controls, for volume, swipe up repeatedly for louder and down repeatedly for quieter; for tracks, swipe forward for the next song and backward for the previous song. The automatic mode change is likely due to the Adaptive Sound Control or Speak-to-Chat features in the Sony | Headphones Connect app. Please open the app and disable both of those features to keep it locked on Noise Cancellation. If the issue continues after checking those settings, please reach out to our support team for further assistance. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab
