Terrible experience with the noise canceling.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I first purchased the XM4 they were great but just not tight enough to keep out noise. I decided to return them and spend a little more on the XM5 which did fit a little tighter but there was some terrible feedback I don't know if they were broken, they were brand new, so I just decided to return them and am trying out the raycon pro. Was super excited because the noise canceling according to all reviews I read online said the five was better noise canceling than the four.

Great set of noise canceling headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The microphone is much improved over previous Sony headphones, so I can use them for both listening to music and Zoom calls. I tested the QC35 and Bose NC700 and these were much better.

Sound good, until they don’t
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great headphones, but I’ve recently started to hear some crackling noises from the headphones. Sounds almost like a blown speaker. I never listen to music too loud and I’ve only had them for a month, so I’m not sure what’s going on. Needless to say, I’m sending them back to the store for a refund. I hope Sony can get they’re quality control back to where it was a few years ago. I’ve had quite a few other Sony products go bad within a year or so of purchase.. Kind of sad to spend so much money for “quality”, but end up getting the opposite.

Posted .Hi Andrew,
We regret to hear that you're hearing unwanted noise on your headphones. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. Make sure to update the firmware of the headphones by performing a software update (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. Doing so may resolve the issue.
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/downloads
You may hear noise (such as a creak, click, or static) through the WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones when traveling through tunnels, or other environments which air pressure changes easily, even if the noise canceling function is on. When the Noise Canceling function is set to ON, you may also hear a White noise (a small electrical noise with continuous static sound). If this occurs, temporarily turn off the Noise Canceling function. Also, please remove any obstacles between the antenna of the connecting Bluetooth device and the built-in antenna of the headset and keep the headset away from a microwave oven, wireless LAN device, etc.
If you still have the unit, we recommend performing the steps provided on the links below to refresh the content of your headphones.
