Look at my comment before buying
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation is exceptional better than the Bose NC700. I have an iPhone and the pair to two devices at once works so much better than the NC700 as well. Now for call quality they are good but the NC700 does have a leg up on these. However they are still great.

amazing ANC
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio isn’t too loud, but the ANC is amazing. I wear them at the gym everyday. One issue is they do slip off when laying down but it’s not the end of the world.

Posted .Hi CesarT,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM4. We're glad that you like the sound quality and noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are experiencing connectivity issues.
For optimum performance, make sure to update the software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). You may also find these steps helpful:
-Set the headset to “Priority on stable connection” mode using the Sony Headphones Connect app.
-Remove any obstacles between the antenna of the connecting Bluetooth device and the built-in antenna of the headset.
-Bluetooth communications may be disabled, or noise or audio dropout may occur under the following conditions:
>When there is a human body between the headset and the Bluetooth device. In this case, put the Bluetooth device in the same direction as the antenna of the headset to improve the Bluetooth communications.
>When there is an obstacle, such as metal or a wall, between the headset and the Bluetooth device.
>In places with wireless LAN, where a microwave oven is used, electromagnetic waves are generated, etc.
>Where there are other wireless communication audio devices or other people nearby, such as in train station premises or on a crowded train.
Additional troubleshooting steps are available on this link:
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752755.html
Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve those issues:
Resetting the headset
-Press both the (power) button and the CUSTOM button simultaneously while charging. The headset will be reset. The device registration (pairing) information is not deleted.
If the headset does not operate correctly even after resetting, initialize the headset to restore factory settings.
Initializing the headset
-Turn off the headset while the USB Type-C cable is disconnected and then press and hold the (power) button and the CUSTOM button simultaneously for 7 seconds or more. The indicator (blue) flashes 4 times, and the headset is initialized. This operation resets volume settings, etc. to the factory settings, and deletes all pairing information. In this case, delete the pairing information for the headset from the device and then pair them again.
Hope this helps. If still not resolved or you need further assistance, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com.

Great headphones, Some quirks, A bit overpriced
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Big fan of the sound. 360 audio is amazing. You can really hear the surround sound. A few cons... I don't like the case at all. I think it's difficult to fold up the headset to fit inside the case. These headphones ARE NOT for working out. Battery life isn't 30 hours when you're blasting music (makes sense) but is still pretty long. Overall, if the price was maybe ~$50-75 cheaper., I'd be very happy and give it 5 stars.
