Review of Sony Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bass in these headphones are amazing! However, it is confusing at times to remember which way to swipe across the headphones to turn up the volume or switch songs. I’ve also noticed that the headphones will change from noise cancellation to ambient without me doing it and I don’t know if that’s a simple fix or if it’s something else.

Posted .Hi JheneS,
We are thrilled to hear you're loving the amazing bass on your WH-1000XM4 headphones. Regarding the controls, for volume, swipe up repeatedly for louder and down repeatedly for quieter; for tracks, swipe forward for the next song and backward for the previous song. The automatic mode change is likely due to the Adaptive Sound Control or Speak-to-Chat features in the Sony | Headphones Connect app. Please open the app and disable both of those features to keep it locked on Noise Cancellation. If the issue continues after checking those settings, please reach out to our support team for further assistance. Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Awesome Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the first pair of wireless headphone I have purchased. I love the sound quality and the noise cancelling technology. You can place your hand on the right side and hear if someone is talking to you without taking them off. The volume is controlled by swiping your finger up and down on the side. Highly recommend. If you see them on sale definitely buy one. I got an amazing deal on my at Christmas time.

Killer value, great features, no reason to buy xm5
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. There is no reason to buy the xm5, they didn’t make enough upgrades to justify the cost. Buy these and save the money. These are the best consumer grade headphones in their price category. I am a professional audio engineer and the sound quality and ANC is second to none without buying into a much higher tier.

Can't beat them
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very impressed with these compared to any of the bise or beats or Sennheiser cans out there. The only thing I will say is with light hair on the top of my head after a long while if wearing they can become uncomfortable but the sound is unmatched.

SOUND AMAZING, WORK AMAZING
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these as a gift for my wife a while back and she has been using them so often that she sold her AirPods pros and will not head to a gym or coffee shop without them. I have the level below these that I bought around the same time and I'm honestly a little jealous whenever she tells me to listen to something on them.

Good Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound, especially once you tune it in the app. Wired mode for low latency is great, and I can confirm there's no weird behavior with the Bluetooth when using it with Fedora 35 workstation (apart from my poor bluetooth antenna causing some stuttering here and there.) I can't say the same for Ubuntu 21.04 however; my laptop eventually got stuck connecting to the headset profile. Turning on multiple device connectivity using the app fixed this, but be aware it also disables LDAC. Noise canceling is outstanding, and once you get a little music going the outside world just disappears. The headphones' band does start to hurt after a while, and being closed back headphones your ears can get hot. I readjust it every so often.
