Excellent Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m very happy with these. Excellent sound, no annoying hissing or “fuzz” when noise canceling is on and the ability to have a conversation with someone next to you by easily pausing content with voice or hand touch.

I had a 2 year old Bose headset and a internal wire broke and Bose would not fix but was willing to give me a small credit towards a new one. I decided to try this headset. While new, I am very pleased.

King of ANC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones, coming from the WF-1000xm3 wireless headphones these are king of ANC. My only complaint with these headphones is that if you lay down and still for too long they automatically turn themselves off.

Posted .Hi MrGeeeee,
Thanks for giving the product a perfect rating! Good to know you're enjoying the sound quality and noise canceling of your new WH-1000XM4 Wireless industry-leading, noise-canceling Wireless headphones! The addition of Sony’s proprietary HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 masterfully eliminates the noise around you.
We do apologize for the inconvenience. By using the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, you can change the settings of the wearing detection automatic music playback pause and resume function and the wearing detection automatic power off function (the battery saving function).
Thanks for sharing your feedback and for trusting Sony!

Best headphones I’ve ever had !
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It took a little while to get used to the feel on my ears. Other that that these headphones are great! Using it to speak on the phone isn’t all that great but slightly better than the XM4model. Lastly they are a bit pricey...
