Posted .Hi OctavioV,
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying the excellent noise cancellation, sound, and battery life of your WH-1000XM4 headphones. A key feature that makes their noise cancellation so effective is the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1, which works in real-time to analyze and process noise signals over 700 times per second. This allows the headphones to block out a wider range of high and mid-frequency sounds, giving you a truly immersive and distraction-free listening experience.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have a great day!

When I talk the music stops and then it starts again! Amazing! The comfort is so amazing - doesn’t hurt my ear even though I have been using it for over 3 hours. I am very impressed by the look - simple and elegant.

Very comfortable & excellent noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable headphones with excellent noise cancellation. Very good sound quality. The only issue I faced is with connecting iPhone and Macbook at the same time. When connected to 2 devices and I pay and stop audio from Macbook and later try to play from iPhone, it doesn't play. I need to disconnect Macbook in order for audio from iPhone to play.

Excellent noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are great. I had the XM3 but the best selling point was ability to connect with multiple devices at the same time. Often used for travel, noise cancelling/isolation is very good, almost scary good. I like the ability to automatically detect for certain sounds or quickly turn off noise cancelling when needed. For sound quality, there's a very balanced sound. They don't have the strongest bass or the loudest max volume. Overall very well worth the price, especially if you can catch them on sale.

Fantastic Pair of Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent bass and quality of sound, has all the essentials. The only nitpick I have would be the volume is not the highest I’ve heard, but with the noise canceling that might be negligible.

Awesome Noise-Cancelling and Multiple devices
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have recently purchased this Headset for the Noise-Cancelling feature and it didn't disappoint. It is super comfortable and I can wear it all day and not even notice it. You can pair it to two different devices simultaneously, had a little trouble setting up my iPhone and Windows Desktop but once the firmware update installed it works. One downside in Windows is that it treats the headset as two different audio devices, a windows audio and hands free device, which cuts off my music when a call comes in in Windows. I wish I could hear the music at much lower levels when I do get a call, I have a much cheaper USB Headset that does this because it treats the audio as one device instead of two. Other than that I love this product, switching between devices is great. I can be listening to music on my iPhone and answer calls on the desktop and it will automatically switch back to my iPhone music when I hang up the call. Pros: very comfortable, awesome sound quality, and you can connect to two devices at the same time. Cons: not so easy to set up on multiple devices at first, windows treats the audio as two different devices and not a big fan of speak to chat feature, rather use the alternative of holding the right ear cuff to talk.

Buy it on sale if you can
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very pricey but the quality shows. I got mine when it was over 100 dollars off so that's probably the only time it's worth it. No complaints with any aspect of the sound quality though. Touch controls are annoying though. Still an overall much better deal than the Airpods Max, especially when these are on sale.

Great
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been wanting a comfortable set of over the ear ANC headphones. Went back and forth between the Bose QC35s and the XM3s. Finally decided to get the XM4 based off other tech reviewers. They sound great, light and comfortable.

Great pair of headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this pair of headphones! I've been eyeing it since last year and finally decided to purchase a month ago since it was on sale. It's my first pair of noise-cancelling headphones, and I was definitely impressed by this feature. Sound quality is great, and I find it's pretty user friendly. As someone who wears glasses, I found it was comfortable to wear and didn't make my glasses dig into my head, which a previous headset of mine did. Can't wait to continue using it!

Sound Amazing but…
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had doing so much on what headphones would be best for me I’ve tested out almost every mainstream headphone the Bose , Beats , Apple & of course Sony I honest feel like these headphones sound the best out the box without Eq , the bass and tremble & balance it’s great for my eyes thr only issue I have with these headphones and maybe it’s most headphones is the comfort level I would give a 3out of 5 because the ear cushion is tight causes my ears get fatigued after long hours of use .Overall amazing headphones I would recommend especially when they are on sale !!!
