    Love how that it’s able to cover my whole ear. The sound quality is amazing where I have to have at least one ear cuff not fully cover my ear in order to hear. Great for the gym with noise cancellation

      Hi Damien, good to know that you like the supplied case of the headphones. Your feedback about the cable and louder volume is greatly appreciated. Make sure to use the equalizer of the Sony Headphones Connect app to adjust the sound quality depending on your needs. This may help improve your listening experience. Updating the software (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) will also improve its overall performance. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony. ~Ralph Sony_US

    Bought two or of these headphones, and the noise cancelling feature is remarkable. Lots of options, still learning all of them. But so far, these are the best headphones we’ve purchased.

      Hi jjmacII,

      Awesome! We're glad that you like the comfort and sound quality of the headphones. Sony’s industry-leading noise cancellation evolves to further immerse you in your music. The addition of Sony’s proprietary HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 masterfully eliminates the noise around you. Listen all day with up to 30 hours of battery life. Quick charging gives five hours of playback with just a 10-minute charge.

      To get the most out of your WH-1000XM4, download the Sony | Headphones Connect App. It includes Adaptive Sound Control—which automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your activity and an equalizer—which can be customized to fine-tune your music. Using our advanced noise canceling technology, we designed these headphones so you can block out noise and experience next-level silence. Plus, you have the ability to use the convenient smart features including Quick Attention, Google Assistant/Alexa/Siri compatibility, and touch controls. Thanks for choosing Sony.

    After trying out Bose QC this was an easy winner and in my opinion, xm4 beats QC everywhere except comfort. Everything including the trade-off was more than worth it. I highly recommend it.

    The wh1000xm4 are by far the best headphones I have owned. The music is crisp and the bass is deep and scary accurate. The noise cancelling feature is what truly sets these headphones apart from the rest. With noise cancelling active, the outside world becomes near silent and the headphones can be enjoyed at a very low noise.
