Great headphones especially for the price drop
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything that has been said about the sound and build quality of these sony headphones is completely true. Great fit and feel. I came from the xm3s so its very minor in terms of an upgrade from the previous version. I wouldn't have grabbed them if it wasnt for the massive price drop. But the app the is necessary for at least the first Bluetooth connection to a device is meh. Its tries to make it easy to connect and modify the settings but its messy. It was alot simplier to connect to the headphones through my Bluetooth settings. But once that's done, everything works well and its becomes simple to customize settings and do system upgrades. If you dont wanna spend the money on the newest version and still have a great listen experience, get these headphones. Just have some patience first using the app.

Awesome Headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality for gaming on my computer. Use it with Discord and when playing games. Do need to adjust some sound settings in Windows, as usual to get the sound quality back up where it should be. After that great surround sound and noise cancelling.

Good for music. Not much else.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.doesn't seem to have a full noise cancelling feature. Only seem to have passthrough. No mic for talk. Latency is too high for video games. OK for movies. Perfectly fine for music. Depending on what you want. That could be fine. Battery is really good.

Great sounding easy to use!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrific set of headphones. I can't speak to functionality with Alexa which is available but the Bluetooth works well for true wireless connectivity. I primarily use them with my tv for high quality movie watching and try sound great! The price is high though. If you can get it a little cheaper I would highly recommend.

I cannot hear anything while walking down the streets of NYC. Only complaint is that people have a hard time hearing me on calls. May just be a setting.

Not any better than the xm3's
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the xm3's before these and there are not many improvements. Noise canceling and ambient sound is still top tier. Now there is a sensor in the left ear that knows when you take them off. The accompanying app allows you to enable features that can pause and/or turn off the device when you're not wearing them.

Posted .Hi Javier,
Many thanks for the 5-star rating! We're glad to hear you like the superb sound and noise canceling features of your WH1000XM4 headphones. Bluetooth communications may be disabled, or noise or audio dropout may occur under the following conditions:
When there is a human body between the headset and the Bluetooth device
In this case, put the Bluetooth device in the same direction as the antenna of the headset to improve the Bluetooth communications.
When there is an obstacle, such as metal or a wall, between the headset and the Bluetooth device
In places with wireless LAN, where a microwave oven is used, electromagnetic waves are generated, etc.
Where there are other wireless communication audio devices or other people nearby, such as in train station premises or on a crowded train.
