XM4 Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality and easy-to-navigate app UI, only complaint would be the control panel on the side of the headphones which are just hard to use at first and I find myself just manually skipping or controlling my music on my phone rather than actually using it.

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

Posted .Hi JennaH,
Hello! We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the sound quality of your WH-1000XM4 headphones. We are sorry to hear you're experiencing some issues with the touch controls, as they can sometimes be a bit tricky to get used to.
To improve the responsiveness, make sure you are using the flat part of your finger to tap and swipe, and not just the fingertip. For the buttons, please ensure you are giving them a firm, deliberate press. If the issue continues, a quick reset of the headphones often resolves minor glitches. You can find instructions on how to do this in the Sony Headphones Connect app or our online help guide.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Sony WH-1000XM4
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been extremely pleased with this product. I have used others, but this one was definitely worth the investment. Great quality and great tones! The folks at the Janesville Wisconsin Best Buy were extremely correct on every answer to our questions. Yes I have a background but there's been changes in some of the other products - yep I will recommend!

Best headphones I've ever owned!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these to use in my office in the middle of a machine shop. They work better than my previous headphones from another leading noise canceling provider and add useful features for me like the headphones cutting off when I talk or cover the right ear piece with my palm. The app controls work fine, I've only been in the app a few times after setting up. Highly recommend to anyone in need of good noise canceling with premium sound.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome you can use anywhere. I use these at work because there are so many distractions. The noise cancelling helps me focus. And when I speak, no need to take them down they automatically mute and enhance the outside noise so I can hear whoever is speaking to me. It’s great!
