Posted .Hi Apolloman, we're glad you like our newest industry-leading noise canceling headphones. Intelligent and intuitive, the WH-1000XM4 headphones offer further improvements to our industry-leading noise cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and smart listening that adjusts to your behavior and your location. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. For total convenience, WH-1000XM4 headphones can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connect to the right one automatically. You'll also be able to quickly, smoothly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl
Surreal Sound and Noise Cancellation!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Right out the box these headphones are amazing for noise cancellation and just submerging yourself into your playlist. I mainly use these for hitting the gym and I love how I’m just vibing in my own zone. A bit of a hassle when I make any sound and it pauses my playlist to allow me to hear outside noise but aside from that, great headphone which I really enjoyed purchasing at a discount!!

Posted .Hi Rich,
Thanks for giving the product a perfect rating! We're extremely pleased to hear you are very impressed with the excellent noise cancellation and incredible audio of your WH-1000XM4 Headphones. Good to know that your investment is worth it. We're sorry to learn the headphones pauses the music when you make any sound.
The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when it detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, but in rare cases it may activate in response to the voices of other people, ambient environmental sounds, transportation announcements, etc. Disable Speak-to-Chat in cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident. If you want to enable it, hold 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel until you hear the voice guidance say, “Speak-to-chat activated”.
You can also use the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app to switch between enabled/disabled, change the sensitivity of the automatic audio detection, and change the time until the Speak-to-Chat mode ends.
The WH-1000XM4 is a new design, with intelligent and intuitive Ambient Sound Control features that include improvements to Multipoint connection and our industry-leading Noise Cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and Smart Listening that adjusts to your behavior and location. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess

Its Sony... expect the best
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you can afford these, please go with them! Obviously, the sound is superb. The tap buttons on the side take some time to get used to but are convenient. The Headphones app provides great customizion. Lastly, the reason to go with this version rather than their latest ($399 headphones) is because these still fold and easily fit in your bag/backpack.

Great headphone with just one flaw
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are planning to use this headphone mostly on a Windows machine please take a note that you cant use LDAC on Windows and iOS devices. While on iOS devices AAC format creates good sound, they have omitted the aptX so the sound code is limited to a very old SBC format on Windows. I am not an audiophile myself but can hear some sound differences between my Windows machine (SBC) and iPhone (AAC). I didn't know this when bought the item, and if I knew probably look somewhere else. But, I can't say I am 'that' disappointed, the product is great and the battery life is really good.

Great Battery & Music Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones- this is my second pair. Only con is they can slide off my head every once in a while (it is smaller than average though). The battery power is 10/10. Sound quality is amazing. Noise canceling is 9.5/10. Would definitely recommend!

Decent product
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has always been a go to for me. Great product. The noise cancelling actually works. The comfort is key. But honestly not worth the price for the upgrade.

Nearly perfect
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality and noise cancelling are great. Headband could be softer (top of head gets tender after several hours of continuous use), but these are the most comfortable headphones.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These by far have been the best headphones ive had in a long while. Still havent had to charge them from out of the box. Purchased for use with an electronic drumset that needed to have corded headphones. Nice that these are both bluetooth and corded. Case is a plus.

Bad software, good hardware
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality headphones. Outdated software. Almost negative support from Sony. I had issues with this headset randomly turning the ambient mode on and off and Sony just said “get a different headset”. They don’t support the software nearly as much. Besides this the actual audio experience is very nice, comfortable and light headset with a nice rounded lower bass

Really great headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and functions! If I were to change anything it would be to swap plastic with aluminum and get rid of the touch gestures as they can get in the way and be a little hard to get down in memory.
