Hi emgo2,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback about your WH-1000XM4 headphones. We're truly sorry to hear that they haven't lived up to your expectations. We can certainly understand your frustration.

We take customer feedback seriously and what you've described, particularly the imbalance in noise canceling between the right and left earcups, is something we'd like to help you with. That definitely isn't the experience we want for our customers.

A good first step to address that uneven noise canceling is to try the "NC Optimizer" function in the Sony | Sound Connect app. It's designed to optimize the noise canceling based on your head shape, hairstyle and even whether you're wearing glasses. Just put the headphones on, open the app, and look for the 'NC Optimizer' option. It should only take a minute or two to run.

If that doesn't solve it, sometimes a quick reset can help with these kinds of issues. To reset your WH-1000XM4 headphones, please follow the instructions on this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752743.html

If you've tried both of those steps and you're still experiencing the issue, please contact our support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

We appreciate you giving Sony a chance with this product.
Sincerely,
Estefany

Hi Saturn1998, Thank you so much for the 4-star rating! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with the noise cancelling and overall performance of the headphones! You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue.Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while. Thank you so much for choosing Sony! -Carl
