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:

Battery life is insane
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery on these headphones last forever! I wore most of the time while working from home for a whole week and didn’t have to charge in between the 5 days. I love how minimal these headphones look and sound quality is great.

Best Headphones Ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones! The noise cancellation feature works great. Even if you don't want to listen to music, just having the noise-cancellation feature on is amazing for blocking out outside noise. The only thing is that the sound does leak if you are in a very quiet area if the volume is around 75% full volume. These work great for working out, however, if I'm doing pilates or yoga, they tend to slip. Totally recommend buying them. I bought them during the time that amazon had their prime sale, so I was able to get them cheaper!

Hands down my favorite pair of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been pleased in every single way by the performance of this headphones, I’ve had both the M1 and M2 versions in the past and I got to say this one is just at good or even better in every quality as those. I also some beats solo and studio headphones and these are far superior compared to beats. This thing has one of the best Active noise canceling in any headphones out there. Even though they are expensive they go on sale quite often and there are plenty of good opportunities to buy them in a good deal. One thing I did find that has gone down compared to the previous models is the unboxing experience, and how it feels. The older model felt premium, the cups had some texture and look unique. The complete smooth plastic feel is something I don’t like too much. That aside this is still a great buy and would recommend anyone looking amazing noise canceling headphones.
