Snap cord in, USB mysteries.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works and sounds great even when you don't bother with the app, good only when your Android is new enough. It helps to know you need to press a little firmly to snap the cord plug into the headphone. Also, the computer finds USB hid interfaces, so there is some unadvertised (secret!) USB functionality, not just charging. Finally, the charging didn't seem to work with a plain 2A charger; only with a computer USB port.

Posted .Hi Seth,
We appreciate your 5-star review of the headphones. 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.
It is recommended to use a commercially available USB AC adaptor capable of supplying an output current of 1.5 A or more (If the output current is less than 1.5 A, the charging time will increase, and the music playback time after 10 minutes of charging will decrease.) The full operation with all chargers is not guaranteed.

Pass into Tranquility
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My parents are always arguing. Needing to drown out the sorrow, I decided to buy these headphones. The sound quality is superb, but the noise cancellation is where these headphones really shine. I no longer hear my parents argue anymore, not because of these headphones, but because they got divorced.

My favorite headphones, despite being expensive
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable noise-caneling headphones with EXCELLENT sound. Better than my comparably priced Bose headphones! These Sony headphones have slightly less effective active noise cancellation than Bose QC35 II. However, the audio quality of these Sony headphones blows away the Bose QC 35 II. These Sony headphones, are by far, my favorite headphones. Highly recommended, despite being expensive. They're simply worth it!
