Love these headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the M3's for daily use at work & home for 3 years now. they have worked flawlessly. Decided I had to have the M4's when they went on sale, they work great. the noise cancelling feature does a good job of cutting out harmful noise in both of them, Music sounds amazing with these. the mic works well for calls even in noisy enviroments. Easy to configure the way you want.

Forget Bose
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been looking for good noise cancelling headphones that also sound good. I found that the bose headphones did a good job in the noise cancel department but really did not impress when it came to music playback. These sony's have done it all and stand above all others in striking that balance point. Overall these headphones are fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone looking for bluetooth, wireless, noise cancel, headphones that don't sound like muddy bose's.

Surreal Sound and Noise Cancellation!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Right out the box these headphones are amazing for noise cancellation and just submerging yourself into your playlist. I mainly use these for hitting the gym and I love how I’m just vibing in my own zone. A bit of a hassle when I make any sound and it pauses my playlist to allow me to hear outside noise but aside from that, great headphone which I really enjoyed purchasing at a discount!!

Posted .Hi Rich,
Thanks for giving the product a perfect rating! We're extremely pleased to hear you are very impressed with the excellent noise cancellation and incredible audio of your WH-1000XM4 Headphones. Good to know that your investment is worth it. We're sorry to learn the headphones pauses the music when you make any sound.
The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when it detects the speech of the person wearing the headset, but in rare cases it may activate in response to the voices of other people, ambient environmental sounds, transportation announcements, etc. Disable Speak-to-Chat in cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident. If you want to enable it, hold 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel until you hear the voice guidance say, “Speak-to-chat activated”.
You can also use the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app to switch between enabled/disabled, change the sensitivity of the automatic audio detection, and change the time until the Speak-to-Chat mode ends.

Great ANC headphones!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've used the Airpod Max and Beats Studio Pros for several years, even though I am an Android user. I've been eyeing the XM5's for several month and watching the price on them, but these went on sale for what I considered an unbeatable price of $200, so I decided to pull the trigger on these for now. I'm not typically the guy who buys the older version of anything when there is the "new and improved" model to get, but I couldn't pass this deal up. For the price, these cans are awesome, and I wish that I hadn't waiting so long to buy them. These will be my go-to for music listening and traveling from this point forward! if you're on the fence about getting these, you should give them a try!

The best sound!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best sound quality headphones for me and based on CNET. It is the best, and loud and the hardware functionality to stop play when you speak to someone and take it off your head is amazingly smart. The sound and hardware. And definitely a need to be able to connect to two devices. The previous only connected to one, and that was an angering inconvenience. Definitely an additional fix worth the upgrade.
