    These are awesome. Have these alongside a pair of Bose QC 35ii and the sound is much more full. Noise cancelling is on par if not slightly better than the Bose. Prefer the sound of the Sony’s and really dig the inclusion of USB-C. These are great overall.

    The ANC (active noise cancellation) on these is second to none, listening to music is completely isolated and you are unable to here anything.

      Hi Karina,
      It is most rewarding to hear that the WH-1000XM4 headphones are overall great. We also appreciate your valuable feedback regarding the volume range. We're always striving to enhance our products and your input is truly helpful for future improvements.

      To improve the volume range, you can download in your phone the Sony | Sound Connect app and check for firmware updates: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4/software/00261613

      Also, you can adjust the Equalizer settings to boost certain frequencies or overall gain.
      In the app, set Sound Quality Mode to Priority on Sound Quality, which can improve dynamic range.

      We hope this helps you.
      Thanks for choosing Sony!
      Best regards,
