Very good with one exception
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancellation is excellent. Comfort is very good. Works great with all my devices EXCEPT my android phone (Samsung Galaxy S10+). I can hear well with it but the microphone doesn’t work with the phone, so have to hold it up to use phone mic. But decided to keep it because it is otherwise great,

Good but not great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable and charges quickly. The noise cacnellation is good, yet the software could be better. While using on an airplane recently I could still hear the rumble/mumble of voice in the background, even though I checked all the settings and they were as they should have been. Like I said good, just not great.

Posted .Hi Denmeister3,
Thank you for sharing your detailed review of your WH1000XM4! We're glad that you like the comfortability, quick charge and sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you're not having the best experience with these headphones. Make sure to update the software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. We appreciate your feedback regarding the noise cancellation of this XM4. Make sure to update the software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance.
The noise canceling function works primarily on noise in the low frequency band. Although noise is reduced, it is not completely canceled. Adjust the earpad position to fit your ears. In additional to checking all the settings, check that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned off. When the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on, the noise canceling function may become insufficient.
Thanks for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony!
Regards,
Jess

One of the best noise canceling headphones out!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable, great noise canceling, fits over ears perfectly, convenient design to fold up in carrying case, pairs easily with any app or device, good base. One thing to note: outside of the Sony headphones app, you can also adjust the settings in your actual phones settings. Took a minute to figure out, but it makes a huge difference when you learn how to do that as well.

Best headphones ever.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to have beats solo pros which had much smaller ear cushions. Because of that, wearing them for an hour or two it started hurting. Those headphones were also noise canceling but I didnt know noise canceling until i tried these. Now i cant study without them. Having a bunch of settings is awesome too. the only issue i have is to change the volume you need to swipe up or down which takes much more time/ effort then tapping up or down to change the volume
