The best headset
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a gift for my husband and he loves it so much. He’s very happy with this product. He had tried the more expensive and well known brand and returned it and got this one instead. Very happy and would highly recommend it.

So worth it
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Haven't owned over-ear headphones in years but I'm getting tired of earbuds. Switched from Galaxy Buds Pro 2 to these and I don't regret it. They're not the most intuitive for touch control but once you figure it out it's very simple. Love the volume control option. I would recommend these for sure.

Top ANC in class again
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Other than a terrible name, Sony has done it again. The XM4 is a slight upgrade of the XM3 and if you are coming from the XM3 it is probably best to wait for the XM5. If you are on older headphones though or new to ANC headphones these are amazing

Great headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You won’t go wrong with these if your want a good over ear headphone with all the bells and whistles. It’s way too big for my head though, so if you have a tiny head like me then you might not find these as comfortable as others.

Posted .Hi Katy, Glad to hear that you are happy with the sound quality and features of your new WH-1000XM4 headphones. To reduce discomfort while wearing the headphones, try adjusting the headband and the earpads properly. These headphones actually support super-soft, pressure-relieving earpads in foamed urethane evenly distribute pressure and increase ear/pad contact for a stable fit.
Regards,
Carl

Does a decent job cancelling noise
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this a couple of years ago to help deal with apartment noise while working from home. The noise cancelling does not provide absolute quiet but reduced the noise enough I could concentrate much better. It's music playing quality is decent.

Nice gift
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a gift for my daughter for Christmas. It is lightweight and seems so much more convenient than the wired headphones from back in the day. She has not used them yet, but it's exactly what she wanted.

Sound vs Distance
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In comparison to my B&W PX7 these are close in comfort and ease of use. The radio is stronger and goes about 10 feet further in a straight line and 3 to 5 feet side to side. The sound is not as deep and pronounced as the B&W's but for general use its good. So trade off sound or distance. B&W's material feels finer (Carbon) and controls a little easier.
