SONY “BEATS” the competition - Worth the $$$
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are going to spend the money on headphones, these are worth the money. There is no competition, they are better than Beats & Bose easily. Beats are extremely uncomfortable, these fit over the ear really well and can be worn all day.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Weight

Sony Wh-1000XM4

Posted .Hi TaylorV, Thanks for sharing your feedback! We're glad you are happy with the noise cancelling featture of your headphones. These steps may help you when the touch sensor is not responding correctly:
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.
Hope this helps.
Thank you and regards,
-Craig
