Nice all-round headphones for the price

After a lot of research I settled on these for my needs.. Newer models perhaps for others with different needs.. A lot of options for an old guy like me...Not a gamer or music streaming guy! These tick off many boxes.. 24 hrs and will get them.all dialed in time.. Yes a Sony fan for 5 decades and counting ...

No Manual or Instructions, over complicated

This device has too many features that get in the way of using it, and it has no instruction manual (using WORDS) to explain how to use it. If you spend a lot of time you can download all sorts of videos and apps (that want to update themselves first), and ultimately you can find a 151 page pdf instruction manual you can download. Yeah. That many pages to tell me how to turn on and use a pair of headphones. Ridiculous.

Amazing Sound and Noise Cancellation

I bought this to use with my phone and a new Bluetooth capable record player I got. I have never heard my records in such good sound quality before. The noise cancellation is also genuinely amazing, I could not hear anything around me when my music was playing. I felt I got a lot of value for how much it cost as well.

Won't fix the chat feature!!

These headphones are awesome for sound and noise canceling. They blow some other popular brands away. The problem is this feature they have that will silence your music if you start to talk. It is the worst thing ever!! Imagine listening to a great song and you start to sing along? The music stops and your whole mood is ruined. It would be okay if you could just turn that feature off. It says you can and it has a button to disable it in the app. Except it will just turn itself back on anytime it feels like it. I researched this issue when I first bought them and have kept up in different forums over time. Sony will not acknowledge the problem, and have refused to address it. Despite software updates that could have gotten rid of it. I haven't seen 1 person that says, what a great feature? Newer models might have done away with this, I will never buy another Sony product though. As long as they ignore so many people despising a feature. It could be fixed with a simple update, I'm sure. Make the toggle off switch lockable or just eliminate it. For this reason only I give very poor marks. Sorry Sony. It is a bad idea and you should have fixed it years ago.

The best headphones ever had!

I honestly had high expectations for this product and was amazed to discover they were far exceeded in every respect. The materials, construction, and finish are some of the best I've seen. The sound is clean and clear, and it's highly customizable via the app on your phone or with your favorite equalizer. They're extremely comfortable.

Love these headphones

I tried my daughter’s headphones and was very impressed with the noise cancellation. I had to get my own pair. 👍

Hi Naye!<br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the WH-1000XM4!<br />It is most rewarding to hear you&#39;re enjoying the fit, ease of use, and sound quality.<br /><br />You&#39;ve already found how easy they are to use, but there are a few other things that make these headphones special. For instance, the Adaptive Sound Control feature learns your frequently visited locations and adjusts the ambient sound settings for the ideal listening experience as you move through your day.<br /><br />We appreciate you choosing Sony!<br />Best regards,<br />Estefany

I needed the item to use in the gym and it would not stay on. Otherwise they sounded good. Just not snug enough for a workout.

Hi there, we&#39;re sorry to hear that your WH-1000XM4 headphones didn&#39;t stay securely on during your gym workout and we appreciate you sharing that feedback with us. It&#39;s great to know you were happy with the sound quality, though!<br /><br />For your workouts, we recommend adjusting your headband to the snugest comfortable fit. Even a minor adjustment can significantly enhance how securely the headphones sit on your head. Additionally, consider using third-party sweat-resistant earpad covers. These covers can provide extra grip against your skin, ensuring the headphones stay in place during your movements while also safeguarding the original earpads from sweat.<br />We hope this helps!<br /><br />Thanks for considering Sony products and for your feedback.<br />Best regards,<br />Estefany
