Great headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality, blue tooth connectivity and battery life are excellent. The software features are very useful. But 3.5mm headphone jack is not 4-pole so you cant use the built in microphone through a cable.

Best noise cancellation headphones for the price !
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones were worth the price, as it has immense noise cancellation and noise adaptability. The audio is adjusted to the environment and its good with the fitting. The only issue is its swivel as it tends to break often.

New favorite headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Build and sound quality are up there with all of the Bose headsets I've purchased before this set, but I personally feel that these blow Bose and Beats out of the water, especially since I paid less for these than the comprable headphones from other brands. Also, the look of these headphones is a lot better than the others in my opinion. Only problem I've had is getting the built in mic to play nicely with discord on my laptop, whether it's in wired mode with an audio/mic splitter, or in wireless mode.

Sony WH4x
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice wireless headphones. The sound quality is very good. There is a Sony App that allows you to adjust the EQ and that has made the sound profile very good. You can also adjust some of the features, like if the headphones go silent when you start to talk Overall these are near audiophile headphones with very competent active sound suppression. The only downside for me is that the ear pads are a little small and tend to get warm. They are not water resistant and the newer 5 series have better sound suppression But is you are cost sensitive these are a great buy when they are on sale

Mic noise cancelling jittery
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The WH-1000XM4 are comfortable headphones with a lot of customizable features via mobile application. However, if you are looking for a headphone that you can use to answer phone calls, these are not the headphones for you. Noise-cancelling seems to work well with receiving but not transmitting sound, so your voice will sound muffled or jittery from the distant end. I tried stability control and multiple configurations, still low-quality voice especially on phone calls. Need to reboot a few times, Bluetooth can also tend to have interference, signal is not as resilient as you would expect on a $380 headphones.

Posted .Hi SoundCheck, While we are glad to hear that you are happy with the WH1000XM4, we are sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties using them for calls. For this, if your smartphone or mobile phone supports both HFP and HSP, set it to HFP. This will provide a better experience while receiving phone calls using the WH-1000XM4s.
