Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones. I never tried the new Sony line of the noise cancelling headphones but I was pleasantly surprised. However, I feel like using them to talk on the phone is not so good, the other person has trouble hearing me when it is noisy around me. Also it comes with a bag and an airplane adapter and a cable which is very convenient.

Posted .Hi DanS!
We are thrilled to hear you were pleasantly surprised by your WH-1000XM4 headphones! It’s awesome that you’re enjoying the excellent sound and comfortable fit and having the handy bag, cable and airplane adapter makes it super easy to take them anywhere.
Thanks for being upfront about your experience with phone calls in noisy spots. The headphones use smart microphones and noise cancelling tech to help catch your voice, but in busy places, it can sometimes be tough for the other person to hear you.
If you often need to take calls in busy places, trying to find a quieter spot or adjusting features like Sidetone in the Sony | Sound Connect app can sometimes make your voice clearer for the other person.
Thanks for choosing Sony. We really appreciate you sharing your feedback, it helps us make our products even better!
Sincerely,
Estefany

Great Sound. Excellent Features
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am someone who always used bose headphones due to their amazing sound quality. However, my friend suggested me to try this headphone and dang I was surprised. The headphones have amazing sound quality specially base if you compare with bose over the ear headphones. I really like the right ear touch feature to listen outside sound clearly. If you are looking for an amazing quality product, look no further. One con can be that I like the acoustic sound in Bose headphones better. You may have to change the settings to get the best sound for songs with low base.

Really nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cannot complain. The noise canceling is awesome. The ease of use for adjusting sound changing track and so on is perfect. I purchased these over another major brand and I find them to be equal but they cost me less. I also owned the earbuds in the same model from the same company, and they are absolutely phenomenal as well.

Improvements on a Great Pair of Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously owned the XM3's, which were by far my favorite headphones I've ever owned. Those developed a crack in the left band after about a year and a half, so I purchased these. These are just as great in terms of sound quality, but the added features put them over the top. I really like that sony added wear detection and multi device support. Both features seem to work really well. I do have to say the noise cancellation doesn't seem to work as well as the previous model when it comes to women's voices and higher tones. Hopefully this can be improved with added updates, which seemed to be the case with the previous model.
