Perfect blend of comfortableness, & music quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a *mild* audiophile, I appreciate good sound and enjoy hearing it but I do not wanna carry an interface in my backpack with a generator in my left hand to listen to music on my commutes and at home. And these headphones deliver, more than I thought. I grabbed it on sale but it’s really worth every penny. My only cons are you must use an app to control certain things (but that’s not entirely bad), and the worst thing is the times it’ll cut out and then start to lag with watching Netflix or anything really. Little frustrating, haven’t found a solution but other than that, awesome.

Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones. I never tried the new Sony line of the noise cancelling headphones but I was pleasantly surprised. However, I feel like using them to talk on the phone is not so good, the other person has trouble hearing me when it is noisy around me. Also it comes with a bag and an airplane adapter and a cable which is very convenient.

Posted .Hi DanS!
We are thrilled to hear you were pleasantly surprised by your WH-1000XM4 headphones! It’s awesome that you’re enjoying the excellent sound and comfortable fit and having the handy bag, cable and airplane adapter makes it super easy to take them anywhere.
Thanks for being upfront about your experience with phone calls in noisy spots. The headphones use smart microphones and noise cancelling tech to help catch your voice, but in busy places, it can sometimes be tough for the other person to hear you.
If you often need to take calls in busy places, trying to find a quieter spot or adjusting features like Sidetone in the Sony | Sound Connect app can sometimes make your voice clearer for the other person.
Thanks for choosing Sony. We really appreciate you sharing your feedback, it helps us make our products even better!
Sincerely,
Estefany
