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.

Its Sony... expect the best
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you can afford these, please go with them! Obviously, the sound is superb. The tap buttons on the side take some time to get used to but are convenient. The Headphones app provides great customizion. Lastly, the reason to go with this version rather than their latest ($399 headphones) is because these still fold and easily fit in your bag/backpack.

Cuts out all those kids while I work from home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these headphones to work in silence while my wife and kids work in the other room. My mom sleeps with the TV in the room. These headphones have saved me. I wish they came out in March like they said, so waiting until August was not cool. Only downside is how it handles calls/first device, by cutting off the second device. So if you are in a webinar and a spam call comes in, you are out of audio in your meeting. The noise canceling in great. Sound quality is great.

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.

Nice sound. Avg noise cancellation.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros - Good sound quality - Awesome noise cancellation (for the user). Meaning, I don’t hear surrounding noises when listening with this headphone Cons - Bad mic noise cancellation. Meaning, although the noise cancellation for me is good, the noise cancellation for outgoing signals from mic is bad. If I am in a noisy envt, I will not be disturbed by a single background noise. But the person I am talking to will hear all the background noise. I’d expect such costly headphones to cancel the noise from mic in such a way that the person on the other side will hear only my voice and not the noise in my side of the background.

Posted .Hi Akash, thank you for your feedback. While we are glad that you like the sound quality and noise canceling function, we regret that the person on the other line can hear background noises when using the headphones for calls.
Make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance.
Depending on the surrounding environment, wind noise may increase when the Ambient Sound Mode is turned on. In that case, cancel the voice focus with the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. If the wind noise is still significant, turn off the Ambient Sound Mode.
For call quality, re-establish the connection between the headphones and your source device. Select HFP or HSP for the profile. You can also check the settings of the app that you are using for mic sensitivity if available.
The WH-1000XM4 headphones offer further improvements to our industry-leading noise cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and smart listening that adjusts to your behavior and your location.

Posted .Hi PauloJ,
Thanks for sharing your experience. The Sony | Headphones Connect app is a free download and there is no purchase required to use the headphones. The app is an optional tool that provides additional customization and access to features that enhance the listening experience.
For your specific desire for better noise cancellation, the WH-1000XM6 is our latest model and offers a significant upgrade in noise-cancelling performance. It features a new processor and an improved microphone array, which are designed to more effectively block out a wider range of ambient sounds.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
