Good Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is good. I found that they are a little uncomfortable under extended wear. I like some of the options it has. It's a little pricy, but I would recommend it, especially if it goes on sale.

Improves upton the XM3 but not a revolution
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own a WH1000XM3 and this improves upon it without changing it completely. I had the option to go for the XM5 but I couldn't let go of the travel portability I love about the XM3 and so I went with this. I am not disappointed. The call quality on this is better but if that's not a concern, save some money and get the MX3 for a better price.

Great for music, terrible for phone calls
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality was amazing. Loved the app and equalizer. Phone calls on the other hand were very opposite. Had so many problems with people hearing me clearly. Got a lot of echoing complaints and there’s this high crackling that comes every time you speak. I tried everything and it turns out it’s some kind of feature that’s not fixed yet that’s stems back to the m3’s. This was a deal breaker for me as I would like to at least have the option to talk on the phone with them. Phone calls were not acceptable and until they fix this, will stay at 3 stars.

Posted .Hi Joss,
We're glad that you like the sound quality and the dedicated app support (Sony Headphones Connect app) of the headphones. It's unfortunate that the call quality is not living up to your expectations. Make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony app) for optimum performance.
Sony takes all feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products.
If you hear buzzing, popping, crackling, or vibration noises from your Bluetooth headphones that sound different than the more common static or distortion sounds caused by environmental interference issues, contact our product support team:

Posted .Hello jmk1,
Thank you so much for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you find the WH1000XM4 headphones to be good. We value your comments regarding the effectiveness of the noise cancellation feature.
To ensure you get the best performance, we recommend adjusting the settings in the "Sony | Headphones Connect" app. For an optimal experience, please set the [Ambient Sound Control] to [Noise Canceling] mode. Keep in mind that if you have Adaptive Sound Control enabled, it could impact the noise-canceling effectiveness, so you may want to consider modifying that setting as well.
For detailed instructions, please refer to the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752735.html.
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards,
