      Hi Shiny, Great! You definitely made the right choice. We are extremely pleased to hear you are satisfied with your purchase and you are enjoying the superb sound quality and excellent noise cancellation of your WH-1000XM4. Your assessment is spot on. It's just you and your music with the WH-1000XM4 headphones. The easy way to enjoy less noise and even purer sound, with smart listening technology that automatically personalizes your experience. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. For total convenience, WH-1000XM4 headphones can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connect to the right one automatically. You'll also be able to quickly, smoothly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button. Thank you so much for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

      Hi ComfortN,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM5. We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. Your feedback about the battery life and controls is greatly appreciated. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).

      When you wear the headset, Auto NC Optimizer function always automatically optimizes the noise canceling performance by analyzing the wearing condition of the headset according to the shape of your face and your hairstyle, or the presence or absence of glasses, and the pressure change in an airplane, etc. There is no need for the wearer to press a button or use the touch sensor control panel to use this function. Because the noise canceling performance is automatically optimized by the Auto NC Optimizer function according to changes in the wearing condition and usage environment, you may notice fluctuations in the noise canceling effect.

      Please note that usage hours may vary depending on the settings for the headset functions and usage conditions. You may refer to this link for more information:

    Don't Recommend - Poor QC and Customer Service

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The quality control on this is abysmal. Within a few months of owning, they snapped at the hinges. I can not longer wear them, as the headphone just dangles off when I try to put them on. I took very good care of them, didn't work out in them, and only ever transported the headphones in their provided case. Look online, and you will see that snapping at the hinge is a common problem. Despite only owning them for a few months, and the fact that they snapped out of the blue while I was wearing them, Sony refused to help. They claimed their warranty doesn't cover "accidental or physical damage". This is a known problem, and I am so disappointed with how Sony handled this. I am now out several hundred dollars. I wouldn't recommend this product until they get their QC under control (or at least until their warranty actually covers anything...).

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
