    Best Headphones in my opinion. Sound quality is ELITE, noise canceling is equal, if not better than the apple headphones, but much cheaper in price.

      Hi Johnsoncar48,

      It is most rewarding to hear that you are absolutely happy with your decision to choose the WH-1000XM4.

      This model remains a fan favorite for a reason, specifically due to its incredible balance of performance and versatility. We are glad you’re enjoying the industry-leading noise cancellation powered by our HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1, along with the convenience of the foldable design and the Speak-to-Chat feature. It is a fantastic testament to the enduring quality of this series that it continues to provide such a premium listening experience years after its debut.

      Thank you for making Sony part of your daily listening.

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    Excellent headphones. I never tried the new Sony line of the noise cancelling headphones but I was pleasantly surprised. However, I feel like using them to talk on the phone is not so good, the other person has trouble hearing me when it is noisy around me. Also it comes with a bag and an airplane adapter and a cable which is very convenient.

      Hi DanS!
      We are thrilled to hear you were pleasantly surprised by your WH-1000XM4 headphones! It’s awesome that you’re enjoying the excellent sound and comfortable fit and having the handy bag, cable and airplane adapter makes it super easy to take them anywhere.

      Thanks for being upfront about your experience with phone calls in noisy spots. The headphones use smart microphones and noise cancelling tech to help catch your voice, but in busy places, it can sometimes be tough for the other person to hear you.
      If you often need to take calls in busy places, trying to find a quieter spot or adjusting features like Sidetone in the Sony | Sound Connect app can sometimes make your voice clearer for the other person.

      Thanks for choosing Sony. We really appreciate you sharing your feedback, it helps us make our products even better!
      Sincerely,
      Estefany Sony_US
