Amazing Sound Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am no longer able to use in ear headphones so I needed over ear. Although the price had me hesitant, these headphones are definitely worth the money. The sound quality is amazing, they fit great and it took over an hour before sweat became noticeable.

Wow!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality. Sleek design. Noise cancelling is exceptional.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are the best headphones I've purchased so far. I'm a huge fan and loyal customer of Bose but these headphones are up there or even might be better than some of their top tier products. Very comfortable and the music is superb.

love the noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the sony noise canceling headphones this is my 4th pair between me and family. I love them the most when flying. I was on a flight with co-workers and i could see them looking annoyed... apparently a baby had been screeching for at least a half hour. I wouldn't know because I didn't hear any of it. If you can get them on sale they're a great pair of headphones

ANC, PNC, fit/comfortability, Design, Quality.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To begin with, this is a review for the average user. I have Skullcandy venue and AirPods Pro, each totaling appx. $130 & $250 respectively, so this is the comparison. The Skullcandy headphones were good, but they didnt make me say "wow". Average sound, ANC worked, though not well. I discovered that an ice bagging machine is a good test, considering it is very loud, but not machine shop loud. With the SC I could hear the ice dropping out of the machine even at maximum volume. The AirPods Pro, however, mask the sound completely and without using max volume, same as these sony WH. They slip around the head, but that may be because I have a smaller one, and the touch controls are a pain sometimes but the sound quality is miles ahead of any Skullcandy, and a fair amount better than the AirPod pro. The mic really sucks though.

Posted .Hi Sett,
You made the right choice with the Sony WH1000XM4 headphones! We're glad that you like its sound quality. The WH-1000XM4 is a new design, with intelligent and intuitive Ambient Sound Control features that include improvements to Multipoint connection and our industry-leading Noise Cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and Smart Listening that adjusts to your behavior and location
Your feedback about fit, touch controls, and the mic quality is greatly appreciated. Make sure to adjust the headband for optimum fit and comfort.
For the best overall performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).
The sensor of the touch sensor control panel is built into the flat surface of the right unit. Operate within the range of the sensor. When you swipe your finger forward/backward or up/down on the touch sensor control panel, the touch sensor control panel may not work correctly depending on the angle at which the headset is worn or the direction your head is facing:
a. When you swipe your finger forward/backward, make the movements perpendicular to the headband.
b. When you swipe your finger up/down, make the movements parallel to the headband.
To improve call quality, re-establish the connection between the source device and the headset. Select HFP or HSP for the profile.
Sony takes all feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products.
Hope these steps improve your experience. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the noise cancellation. And when you take the headset off it pauses the music. If only the sound was louder . Me personally I want to sound like I have in AirPods . But these are great for people that don’t care about the loudness
