Strikingly good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good noise cancelation. I use them mostly around the house while cooking. It cuts out the fan noise extremely well. Controls are easy once learned. I did read the manual. I am not using most of the app functions because they are not useful for my use case

Excellent Quality Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very pleased with these headphones. The noise-canceling is superb. They are easy to set up and use. The sound quality is amazing. I like that they come with a physical cord for those times when you don’t have wi-fi capability. These are definitely worth the price.

The best over ear headphones.

Do yourself a favor and buy these.

Sony Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good! Primarily bought it for school but used it for other day to day use. Noise canceling works great during airplanes rides, however it doesn’t block higher frequencies like babies crying

Posted .Hi Dexter,
Thanks for sharing your 5-star review and experience with the WH1000XM4. Your feedback about the noise canceling function is greatly appreciated. For optimum performance, make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). The noise canceling function is effective in low-frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices.

Better than in-ear model
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better sound than expected. Noise cancellation is pretty good, not as good as Bose. I’ve been using these primarily for tele conferences and have not been disappointed. Their Bluetooth connection range is also a plus, I’d say 40 feet or so.
