There is a defect the warranty will not cover
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality sound. Loved these. But it has been under a year, and they have broken due to a defect in the right swivel piece. I was literally putting them on my head like I always do, and the right swivel cracked. When I went to Sony for the 1-year warranty, they said they wouldn't cover physical damage even though this is a defect common in this specific kind of Sony headphone. They then wanted me to pay $90 only for labor to get them fixed. This $90 did not include the other cost that would be required. I would also have to pay for shipping both ways, which was $20 each. So if you don't mind them breaking in under a year and paying such a large price, then get them. The headphones have good sound quality but take a long time to connect to devices and can sometimes randomly disconnect. The sound quality is phenomenal, though, so there's that. But all in all, I feel like I've been robbed and wasted my money.

Decent but not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Given that I bought these on sale and feel that they were still overpriced for what I got? These are massively overpriced. Semi-decent noise control, but not very effective. The noise cancelling is unequal between the right and left side, which makes it feel like one of my ears is plugged up somehow. The app is useful only in that I could tell it to stop switching to ambient sound every time I stood up- that was obnoxious. So, okay but far too pricey at full price for what I received. Skullcandy was far better imo

Posted .Hi emgo2,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback about your WH-1000XM4 headphones. We're truly sorry to hear that they haven't lived up to your expectations. We can certainly understand your frustration.
We take customer feedback seriously and what you've described, particularly the imbalance in noise canceling between the right and left earcups, is something we'd like to help you with. That definitely isn't the experience we want for our customers.
A good first step to address that uneven noise canceling is to try the "NC Optimizer" function in the Sony | Sound Connect app. It's designed to optimize the noise canceling based on your head shape, hairstyle and even whether you're wearing glasses. Just put the headphones on, open the app, and look for the 'NC Optimizer' option. It should only take a minute or two to run.
If that doesn't solve it, sometimes a quick reset can help with these kinds of issues. To reset your WH-1000XM4 headphones, please follow the instructions on this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752743.html
If you've tried both of those steps and you're still experiencing the issue, please contact our support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
We appreciate you giving Sony a chance with this product.
Sincerely,
Estefany
For gym use/ casual as well
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these headphones in place of the Bose quiet comfort ones. I was surprised just how well if not even better they performed. Only issue I had with them was that the touch feature was a little sensitive at times while I was working out. Overall great product though.

Worth it :)
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love wearing these out during the cold since they keep my ears warm. They really do its job with blocking a lot of things out with its noise suppression, I'll be sitting with a friend and the only way to get my attention is just to wave in front of my face. It also has a sound equalizer so you can adjust what the audio sounds like as well, which is very nice :)
