Noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best over the ear noise canceling headphones period. Purchased Bose and HBO and these Sony’s could not compare.

Stellar while they worked painful when they didn't
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these in October 2020 and immediately fell in love with them. The noise-cancelling and sound quality in these were second to none, making them my go-to headphones for anything, from listening to music to streaming shows and movies. Over the past week, however, a painful, high-pitched ring began sounding in the left side more and more frequently when on noise-cancelling mode. Despite visiting Sony support website and going over their suggestions, I was unable to get it to stop, which really is a shame as the limited warranty has long expired and there is not much I can do except pay to fix it.

Pairing problems with Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My problem is I had a set of the same phones that seemed to develop a short, as the voice was cutting in and out. So, I bought this new set of the same phones and with the help of Sony technicians, paired it with my Sony 55" TV. But, now it thinks it has two devices connected, even though I have placed the original set in a box in my basement. So, it bounces from one to the other.

Posted .Hi DavidD,
We are sorry to hear you are having an issue connecting your Sony headphones with your BRAVIA TV. If you are seeing the list of devices to connect to, the TV is just displaying the name of the devices that had been paired with the TV. It does not necessarily mean that the TV is detecting 2 WH1000XM4 headphones. If you cannot delete the list of paired devices on your BRAVIA, you can just rename the device name of your headphones by connecting them with your smartphone and go to Bluetooth settings -> paired devices -> Edit device name. Once done, pair your headphones with your BRAVIA again. Thank you for your 5-star review despite the issue you are having. 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. Should you need further assistance, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com.

Good sound, annoying headband noise.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't like the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones. I used them daily for a week and here's my take: The sound profile is bass heavy, but this can be adjusted and they sound great. The left ear cup makes a physical cracking noise, probably caused by the movement of the ear cup against the headband. This noise is generated by the slighest head movement. They have a touch interface on the right ear cup that works well.

Posted .Hi TechBoy, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your WH1000XM4. While we're glad you like the touch panel sensor function and sound quality especially when adjusted using built-in EQ of the Sony headphones Connect app, we regret to hear about the crackling noises from the unit. 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, please contact our product support team via phone call or chat through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US for further assistance.
