Top of the line noise-cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is the No.1 reason for buying these headphones. If noise cancelling is not your primary concern then I would recommend buying other headphones. I say this because the Bose 700 have better call quality for Teams or Zoom meetings, while other headphones have better audio quality. The audio quality of these to me is okay but a bit disappointing given the price tag. The bass is too boomy and the detail just isn't where it needs to be, this is made up for by the exceptional active noise cancelling that eliminates most exterior noise. Connection via bluetooth is easy and I appreciate the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack option for wired connection. I use these wired with ANC on while gaming and it's great. If your phone or device supports Sony's LDAC codex then that is a plus, I can hear a slight increase in audio quality when using this mode. The headset call quality is not very good in my opinion, it's 'acceptable' but at this price range 'acceptable' is not very good.

Bass heavy, but great
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing noise cancelation and battery life. Sound is definitely bass heavy (not neutral). Poor openness (sound coming from in head ) but that is an issue with all closed back designs. Hard to imagine doing better. You can Eq the boom out

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.

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.
