Excellent.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise canceling excellent. Audio quality excellent. Mic could have been better. Picks up quite a bit of noise when on zoom calls. I think more smart the device, the better your results will be. I found no issue talking over my new android phone.

5/5 Star Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really enjoy the soundproof audio. Even in the loudest settings, the soundproof does its job of minimizing the amount of noise I can hear. The headphones are also very comfortable. I had issues in the past where headphones would hurt my ears, so I could not wear them for a long period of time. However, these are extremely comfortable to the point where I can sleep just fine in them. They are easy to pair with devices and come with easy-to-follow instructions on how to set them up.

Very low volume, good noise cancelation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise cancellation, thats about what I liked. Other than that the volume is low, you have to raise it all the way to be at a decent level, and i just used them to workout. For the price very low volume. I dont return them because im in south america and will be here for a while so im stuck with them

Best Wireless Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to be obsessed with Beats. I had the Solo 2 & 3 and Studios 2 & 3. However, I tested these Sony recently and I am never going back to buy any new Beats ever again! These headphones are much better and I think these are the best at the moment.

Wanted these for Teams
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really wanted these for Teams use in the office, but they just don't handle switching between stereo audio and headset audio when going back and forth from Teams calls to videos or Spotify etc. My Bose 700 seems to handle the task just fine, so I'll just use those for calls and keep the Sony's at home for music, cause they do sound amazing. Definitely like the sound better than the Bose, it just feels more alive. I wish the app had more information in it regarding the different features and what all the different settings and modes were for. The noise cancelling seemed to be on par with the Bose for office use, but I didn't really like the 'speak to switch' feature, when singing along to Spotify it would pick up my voice and paused my music for 10 seconds. Couldn't seem to turn it off while keeping the additional features of noise cancelling. Very premium feel, love the color and the non-flashy styling.

Posted .Hi CrazyLefty, while we are glad to hear that you are happy with the sound quality of the WH-1000XM4 , we are sorry to hear that you are having a hard time using them for office use specially on Teams. For this, please make sure that your device has a Bluetooth function that supports calling connections (HFP/HSP). Re-establish the connection between the source device and the headset.
