Great WFH purchase
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using these for work from home since May and they have been great so far. Sound quality is excellent. The only two issues I have are: 1. When on a web call (computer), if my phone rings and I'm connected, the headphones will drop computer audio and automatically switch over to phone audio. Had this happen one too many times. So, I eventually gave up on multi-device connection, which was a purchase point unfortunately. 2. Microphone isn't great. Coworkers have told me I sound like an air traffic controller. I eventually just bought a USB mic for my laptop. Audio is still passable if needed.

Great Sound and Incredibly comfortable.

Sound is Amazing but Phone calls not so
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just purchased the Midnight Blue pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones. After listening to music every day on them since I purchased, I can say the sound is amazing, I would say the best sounding headphones I have. The noise-cancelling feature is much better then my old pair. But talking on the phone is not so good especially for the other person. When on the phone my voice fades in and out to where the other person I’m talking to can’t hear me but they are crystal clear to me. I have the latest version of firmware 2.5.0 and it’s disappointing that a $349 pair of headphones can’t conduct a phone call. If phone calls are important to you I would advice not to get these but if sound quality while listening to music is then these are great.

Posted .Hi rtford31, we're glad you like the sound quality of our newest industry-leading noise canceling headphones. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with your SONY unit. Use the Bluetooth device to re-establish the connection. Select HFP or HSP for the profile. Use a smartphone or mobile phone at least 50 cm (19.69 in.) away from the headset. Noise may result if the smartphone or mobile phone is too close to the headset.

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. For total convenience, WH-1000XM4 headphones can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connect to the right one automatically. You'll also be able to quickly, smoothly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl

A great pair of noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These work great and have amazing features. I work on a loud van that is roughly 80dB. I was noticing increased ringing in my ears so I went all out to get these. I'm glad I did. They really help. Most road noise fades away. If you want to hear something for a second, put your right hand on the earpiece and it goes to transparent mode so that you can hear normally. The other thing I love is the bluetooth connectivity. My wife has to ask if I'm on the van because it does a great job cancelling noise when talking to others. I 100% recommend these to anyone that wants a high quality, feature full noise cancelling headphones

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic headphones! Sound, battery life and features are all top notch. Wish the weight was a little better distributed on the top of head but improvements on the ear over last year much appreciated. Wish was a little better integrated with iPhone and the app was a little smoother.

Great Heaphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound for these headphones are great. I really don't have any major complaints about them. I would just say that they are sensitive to touch, so if you are using them while moving around a lot, turn off the touch controls so that the music won't randomly pause.

Not My Preferred Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, these are good Wireless Noise Canceling headphones and are probably great if you have never tried Bose Quiet Comfort headphones or Apple Airpod Pros. Pros: Noise Canceling is very good Ambient Noise system is good Fit is nice Sound is great They turn off automatically Battery life is great Cons: Re-Connecting to devices is cumbersome Controls are terrible (Volume, Play, Pause, Stop) Default Settings are trash Difficult to switch between devices Prefer On/Off button than a momentary button Only extra button is useless Overall, I prefer my Apple Airpods over these. I would also prefer the Quiet Comfort Bose that I lost to these. The noise-canceling on these are superior to all, but they've become so difficult to use that I just prefer not to. What's the use of the greater noise canceling if you turning it on takes 5 minutes.
