Probably the best option for noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these for noise cancellation. They were the highest rated with the most decimals they block. Even with that I could still hear my dogs coughs through the night. I have to wear ear plugs and then these to block out the noise. It’s disappointing but finally works so I can sleep. Due to the high cost I started using them for listening to audiobooks when cleaning. They work well for that. I don’t like how sensitive they are at night. If I accidentally touch them, it starts playing and wakes me up.

Posted .Hi DrStrong, You've made an excellent choice! We appreciate your feedback about the noise canceling feature and touch control sensitivity of the unit.
-The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices.
And to ensure optimal noise cancelation, please follow the steps on the link below:
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752735.html
We recommend turning off the touch sensor when you're listening at night to not accidentally activate some of the controls.
Please download the Sony | Headphones Connect app, Go to [System] then Tap the [Touch sensor control panel] switch on the Dashboard to switch the setting between [On] and [Off].
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.

Posted .Hi Thechef, We are so glad to hear that you are happy with the noise cancelling of your new WH-1000XM4. You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue. Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while. To get the most out of your WH-1000XM4, download the Sony | Headphones Connect App. It includes Adaptive Sound Control—which automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your activity, and an equalizer—which can be customized to fine-tune your music. -Carl
