||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.sound quality and nose cancellation work really good together, one complaint is it feels loose on me and with the xm5’s they feel even more loose but other than that i have no problems with them.

Posted .Thanks for commenting, Dylan! We are thrilled to hear about your satisfaction with the amazing sound quality and exceptional noise canceling feature of your WH-1000XM4. We are so sorry if these headphones didn't fit you well. The WH-1000XM4 has a self-adjusting headband and soft cushioned earcups that cover the whole ear. For the best method to fit the headphones, please refer to the following:
• Check the left and right units of the headset.
- There is a tactile dot on the (left) mark side.
• Extend the slider to its full length before putting on the headset.
• Put on the headset with the earpads fitting snugly over your ears.
• Adjust the slider to a length where the headband touches the top of your head.
• Adjust the orientation of the left and right units so that the earpads fit snugly all around your ears.
• If you put on the headset without adjusting the slider, the headset may not be positioned properly on your head, resulting in discomfort or a weak noise canceling effect.
I hope you find this information helpful, and thanks for choosing Sony!
Best regards,
Romeo

Top of the Line
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for something with superior sound quality, in addition to BlueTooth connectivity and noise cancellation and these delivered exceptionally well. Having the ability to adjust the level of noise-canceling is amazing. They sound better than anything else on the market and using 8D audio really allows them to showcase their full potential.

Get them
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is great. MUCH better than Bose 35II. Just a tiny less comfortable. Both slide on my head when I bend over. Seems like all over ear headphones are for large heads. I’m a normal sized woman. If you’re deciding between Bose 35II or these, I recommend these. Many more selectable options such as equalizer. I really like the volume control swipe up or down on right ear.

Best Noise Canceling Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise canceling headphones. Have worn this pair on many flights and I could never travel without it. The best part is the sound which can be tuned to your liking via the Sony Headphones app. I've tried Bose Q45 but switched over to Sony once I heard the sound profile.

Wearing Them for 2+ years and They Still Rock
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As stated in the title, I have been wearing them up for the past two years (I may be wrong, but it felt like it with everything going on). Fantastic sound quality and noise-canceling is SONY's playground. Getting them for a discount is so worth it, especially as a student that needs to use public transport, not hearing random people talking is the best.

Snap cord in, USB mysteries.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works and sounds great even when you don't bother with the app, good only when your Android is new enough. It helps to know you need to press a little firmly to snap the cord plug into the headphone. Also, the computer finds USB hid interfaces, so there is some unadvertised (secret!) USB functionality, not just charging. Finally, the charging didn't seem to work with a plain 2A charger; only with a computer USB port.

Posted .Hi Seth,
We appreciate your 5-star review of the headphones. 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.
It is recommended to use a commercially available USB AC adaptor capable of supplying an output current of 1.5 A or more (If the output current is less than 1.5 A, the charging time will increase, and the music playback time after 10 minutes of charging will decrease.) The full operation with all chargers is not guaranteed.

Good quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These seem to be good quality. The audio quality is good and the extra features are pretty convenient, though I turned off the automatic switching between the noise cancelling and other features. The hinges seem to be aluminum, instead of aluminum and plastic like other cheaper head phones (though I’m not 100% sure since I can’t see the hinge entirely). But for now it seems like a solid head set.
