Get These for Amazing Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound Quality- 8/10 I'm a bit of an audiophile and I have plenty of cans that sound much better than these. However, with the included EQ you can get pretty good sound from these with a little tweaking. Noise Cancelling- 10/10 With a newborn and a toddler, working from home has been quite a challenge. This noise cancelling is so good sometimes I just have them on with no sound playing just so I can experience quiet while I work. It's incredible.

Top quality headphones, highly recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m gonna be honest with you, I’m a huge fan of music. I listen in many ways across several devices and I’m really pleased to say that this model of Sony headphones is really cut from a different cloth. I can’t find a single thing I don’t like about the sound quality and the active noise cancellation is top tier. The only reason I’m pulling it down one star is because I find that the headband is structured a little loose. To elaborate further I need to expand them by 2 notches on each side and I’ve found that the headphones really like to slide into that position with little effort now. This could potentially become more detrimental down the road.

Exactly what I needed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome headphone! They were exactly what I needed and more. I was searching for some noise cancelling headphones to help block off noise while I studied. These did the job perfectly. They also project crisp sound for music. I love the feature in which it automatically pauses while speaking. I'm glad I can engage in a quick conversation and continue where I left off with my lectures of music.

Nearly Perfect Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went back and forth between these and the XM5's and these are so much more comfortable. The only downside to these vs say the Bose QuietComfort headphones is that there isn't a dedicated button to enable bluetooth pairing. You have to turn them off and back on again to enter pairing mode, it's a very weird setup.

Posted .Hi redmondson8,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM4. We're thrilled that you like the comfort of the headphones. Your feedback about the Bluetooth pairing function is greatly appreciated.
When you pair the headset with a device for the first time after you bought it or after you initialized the headset (the headset has no pairing information), the headset enters pairing mode automatically. When you pair a second or subsequent device (the headset has pairing information for other devices), press and hold the (power) button for about 7 seconds. Check that the indicator (blue) repeatedly flashes twice in a row. You will hear the voice guidance say, “Bluetooth pairing”. You may find this link helpful:

Best headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went through a LOT of headphones until we found these. Out of all the new Sony headphones, these are by far the best. Bose were terrible and other Sony models we tried were crap, even the more expensive ones. There are where it’s at! Noise canceling is perfect. Sound leakage is minimal, sound is great
