Audio quality and fit
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Audio quality is good for what you pay. But coming from Bowers & Welkins the audio on B&W is excellent compared to XM4. The fit on XM4 is poor, and you can’t wear them at gym as it falls off.

Using our advanced noise canceling technology, we designed these headphones so you can block out noise and experience next-level silence. Plus, you have the ability to use the convenient smart features including Quick Attention, Google Assistant/Alexa/Siri compatibility, and touch controls. Thanks for choosing Sony.

Speak to chat is annoying
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's comfortable and it fits well. The quality of the materials are really good. The only thing that I hate about this headphones are the speak to chat feature. It does not make sense to me. It's very sensible and it gets really annoying. I have it disabled on my phone so I don't run into interruptions.

Posted .Hi UncleBen, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your WH1000XM4. We're glad to hear you like the comfortable fit and quality materials of your new headphones. We appreciate your feedback about the Speak to chat feature. You can turn off this feature by holding your 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel until you hear the voice guidance say, “Speak-to-chat deactivated”.

Insanely Awesome
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down the best. I’ve owned Bose QC 35 I and II , most recently the 700’s. Long story short, I returned my 700’s (second pair I own since the other ones were stolen). Only short coming are still the mikes for phone calls but not by a lot. Huge improvement since M3’s.

Noise Reducing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It lessens some of the outside sound, but not all sounds are equally muted. Don't expect a miracle for it to be completely sound proof, but it will lessen some of the noises. Ear cups are soft and there is some padding for the top of the head. The case is sturdy too. You can use earplugs with the headphones for a better level of noise reduction.

Great, but not perfect...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In terms of everything else on he market, it for sure is the best in its league. However with that being said, transitioning from Apple AirPods Pro's to these frustrate me slightly, as they take quite a bit longer to automatically connect to my phone. Not a whole big deal, but a very noticeable difference and over time becomes annoying.

Posted .Hi Samuel, We apologize for any inconvenience. For total convenience, WH-1000XM4 headphones can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connect to the right one automatically. You’ll also be able to quickly, smoothly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button. The WH-1000XM4 supports Google’s helpful new Fast Pair feature. It lets you easily locate where you left your WH-1000XM4 headphones by tone sound, or checking their last known location in Google’s Find My Device app on your smartphone.
With the Sony | Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. Meanwhile the Equalizer lets you customize sound levels to suit your music. Thanks for choosing Sony. Jay
