Everything and more...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was everything I was hoping for in noise cancelling headphones. I purchased another name brand pair and returned them because of the performance. I also like the NC Optimizer for different situations. The only drawback is the app you must use is not as intuitive as I hoped.

They're great Sony went cheap on power cable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first noise canceling headphones ever. I went with Sony bc they are a good brand imo. Have no experience with other noise canceling headphones so can't compare. They are great though, best to get on sale imo. They don't come with a power adapter and the charging cable is only 3 inches!!!!! I charge them about once every 2 weeks. The sensors and touch controls are nice and didn't take long to get use to.

Get these headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First over the head earphones I have had since 2010. I love them. I cannot hear anything while walking down the streets of NYC. Only complaint is that people have a hard time hearing me on calls. May just be a setting.

very bad noise cancelling over the mic

Posted .Hi Excellent,
We are glad to hear you are enjoying the good sound of your WH-1000XM4 Headphones with some tweaking, but we are sorry to hear about your friend complaining about loud background noise during phone calls. This specific issue is sometimes caused by how the Speak-to-Chat feature is set up, or it could be related to the device's Automatic Wind Noise Reduction which might require a check in the Sony Headphones Connect app to ensure optimal performance when using the microphones for calls. We appreciate you choosing Sony and hope you can resolve this minor call issue.
Best regards, Eliab

high quality product from Sony
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replacement for older Bose noise cancelling. Easy to pair once the app is installed. Not quite as comfortable as the Bose but the sound is incredible. Range is good and fairly easy to use. The feature that shuts off the music/sound if you start talking is helpful but it will also shut off if you laugh. The only reason it doesn't get five is that it's not really comfortable for longer periods of time such as a couple of hours. Great for airplane travel.

Posted .Hi iowafan,
We appreciate your review of the headphones. We're glad that you like the Bluetooth range and user-friendly functions. 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.
Your feedback about its comfort is greatly appreciated. Make sure to adjust the headband of the headphones for optimum fit and comfort. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony!

Excellent headphones!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sounds incredible. The noise cancelling is good snough to use while on the riding mower and not have to have the music turned up really loud. The app that you can download gives you so many extra features and sound choices. These are much better than my bose! I highly recommend!

The King of Noise Cancelling
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are in a class of its own. I read a lot of hype about these and decided to finally get them. I'm glad I made the move to get them. Syncing up to two devices at once is perfect for my job. Also the Noise canceling puts you in your own little world. The Midnight blue is beautiful by the way.
