New favorite headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Build and sound quality are up there with all of the Bose headsets I've purchased before this set, but I personally feel that these blow Bose and Beats out of the water, especially since I paid less for these than the comprable headphones from other brands. Also, the look of these headphones is a lot better than the others in my opinion. Only problem I've had is getting the built in mic to play nicely with discord on my laptop, whether it's in wired mode with an audio/mic splitter, or in wireless mode.

- Pros mentioned:Sound quality
Great performance, not as comfortable as I'd like.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've tried a lot of headsets in my day. I used the Bose headsets for a long time, it was not too bad. The Bose headset lasted a long time, but they new Sony ones are way better in terms of performance. Why not give it 5 stars. For one the ear holes are small for my ears and the noise-cancelling could be better. The sound is awesome, but for long flights your ears will hurt a bit and the you will still hear people snoring next to you.

Posted .Hi JDiaz, Thanks for sharing your experience with us. While we're glad you are happy with the sound quality, we're quite sad that you are not fully impressed with the noise-canceling feature. With the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, check the setting of [Ambient Sound Control]. If it is set to [Wind Noise Reduction] or [Ambient Sound], the effect of noise canceling is reduced. Set it to the noise canceling mode. Please check this link for more details:

Mic noise cancelling jittery
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The WH-1000XM4 are comfortable headphones with a lot of customizable features via mobile application. However, if you are looking for a headphone that you can use to answer phone calls, these are not the headphones for you. Noise-cancelling seems to work well with receiving but not transmitting sound, so your voice will sound muffled or jittery from the distant end. I tried stability control and multiple configurations, still low-quality voice especially on phone calls. Need to reboot a few times, Bluetooth can also tend to have interference, signal is not as resilient as you would expect on a $380 headphones.

Posted .Hi SoundCheck, While we are glad to hear that you are happy with the WH1000XM4, we are sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties using them for calls. For this, if your smartphone or mobile phone supports both HFP and HSP, set it to HFP. This will provide a better experience while receiving phone calls using the WH-1000XM4s.

Almost great, but showing its age
||Posted .

If you’re not planning on wearing in crowded places or using multipoint much it’s still a great option.

Good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like these headphones. I've never worn or even tried any other noise-cancelling headphones so I don't know how they compare. However, I bought these for plane travel and have worn them on numerous flights, both short and very long, and they've fit the bill. They block out a lot of the annoying airplane engine noise as well as the ambient noise of other passengers on the plane. The sound quality is good and they are easy to set up and re-connect to my phone and tablet.
