Excellent headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve never owned a set of headphones as good as these. Clearly knocks competition out of the park. Noise cancellation is immediate and works better than expected. Features are top notch. Sony for the win!

Posted .Hi BalachandarsaiP,
Thanks for the feedback! While we're glad you like the incredible audio quality and most of the features, we regret to hear you find them uncomfortable during use. Our WH-1000XM4 has a slider that you can use to adjust the length of the headband to get the best fit and for comfortable listening experience.
Note: If you put on the headset without adjusting the slider, the headset may not be positioned properly on your head, resulting in discomfort or a weak noise canceling effect.
We have valuable information on how to properly wear headband headphones for maximum comfort, as well as insights into why you might experience discomfort in your ears while using them. For more details, please refer to the helpful link below:

Solid sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are solid headphones for listening to music while working, etc… Only issue is using them when taking a call, tend to switch to phone or computer speakers instead of coming through these. Have also been told that I sound like I’m in an old radio when they do connect and I try to talk on calls.

Great pair of headphones! Highly recommend.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Highly recommend, both the xm4 and xm5. Want better noise canceling? Get the xm5. Want something more compact when you fold it up for travel? Get the xm4. You really can't go wrong with either one.

Good for music. Not much else.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.doesn't seem to have a full noise cancelling feature. Only seem to have passthrough. No mic for talk. Latency is too high for video games. OK for movies. Perfectly fine for music. Depending on what you want. That could be fine. Battery is really good.

Very nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ANC works very well compared to what else is on the market. Its not silent but certainly helps cut out excess noise. The base is tight but lacks power compared to the Sony extra base model. I can hear the depth of base but not feel it. Excellent call quality.

Favorite Headphones Ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I’ve ever had, I personally think they are better than Beats or Bose. My previous par of headphones just like this stood the test of the elements in Afghanistan. I sold my older pair to upgrade and I don’t regret it. Please consider these when shopping for headphones.

Nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a pair of good headphones. It has awesome noise cancelation; the sound is crisp and base is descent. The app that comes with it does enhance the sound quality a lot. Other than this, I also have Beats Studio and JBL Club 950NC. The Sony is produces much better audio quality
