Review of Sony Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bass in these headphones are amazing! However, it is confusing at times to remember which way to swipe across the headphones to turn up the volume or switch songs. I’ve also noticed that the headphones will change from noise cancellation to ambient without me doing it and I don’t know if that’s a simple fix or if it’s something else.

Posted .Hi JheneS,
We are thrilled to hear you're loving the amazing bass on your WH-1000XM4 headphones. Regarding the controls, for volume, swipe up repeatedly for louder and down repeatedly for quieter; for tracks, swipe forward for the next song and backward for the previous song. The automatic mode change is likely due to the Adaptive Sound Control or Speak-to-Chat features in the Sony | Headphones Connect app. Please open the app and disable both of those features to keep it locked on Noise Cancellation. If the issue continues after checking those settings, please reach out to our support team for further assistance. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Pass into Tranquility
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My parents are always arguing. Needing to drown out the sorrow, I decided to buy these headphones. The sound quality is superb, but the noise cancellation is where these headphones really shine. I no longer hear my parents argue anymore, not because of these headphones, but because they got divorced.

Good but ..
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones were good considering the price. Sound canceling is good, but AirPod pro is a little better. I dislike how you have to use a separate app to work with the headphones. Comes w a attachable cable so that’s convenient! But I couldn’t hear that well when I attached it to a audio interface though.. but it’s good pair of headphones for the gym

My favorite headphones, despite being expensive
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable noise-caneling headphones with EXCELLENT sound. Better than my comparably priced Bose headphones! These Sony headphones have slightly less effective active noise cancellation than Bose QC35 II. However, the audio quality of these Sony headphones blows away the Bose QC 35 II. These Sony headphones, are by far, my favorite headphones. Highly recommended, despite being expensive. They're simply worth it!

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.
