Disappointed Due to Ear Pain
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited to try the Sony WH-1000XM4 after hearing so many great things about its sound quality and noise cancellation. While the audio performance is definitely impressive, I’ve been experiencing consistent ear pain whenever I use the headphones. After wearing them for even a short period, my ears start to feel uncomfortable, and the pressure becomes hard to ignore. I tried adjusting the fit several times, but the discomfort remains, making it difficult to enjoy the music or wear the headphones for longer sessions. Unfortunately, despite their excellent technical features, the lack of comfort has been a major drawback for me. Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM4 may work well for many users, but if you’re sensitive to ear pressure or tight-fitting ear cups, you might face similar discomfort. I’m disappointed because I really wanted to like these headphones, but the ear pain makes it hard to recommend them.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed and honest feedback, SrinivasB.
We are delighted to hear that you found the WH-1000XM4's audio performance and technical features, like the noise cancellation, to be impressive. However, we are truly sorry and concerned to learn that you are experiencing consistent ear pain and discomfort after even short periods of use. We understand that excellent features mean little if the product is painful to wear, and we sincerely apologize that the fit has been a major drawback for you despite your efforts to adjust the earcups.
Comfort is a top priority, especially for premium noise-canceling headphones designed for long listening sessions. While the headband clamping force is engineered for secure sealing, we regret that it is causing you pressure-related pain.
If you would like to explore any final comfort adjustments, our support team can offer personalized tips. Otherwise, we appreciate you bringing this specific feedback about fit sensitivity to our attention as it is invaluable for future product development.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Great Noise Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought thesw for work from home when my family is around. They try to be quiet, but there are just constant minor distraction sounds anyways. These headphones are perfect for this. Synched with computer and MS Teams real easy. Can use with just NC function. Or can us use with NC and soft music to concentrate, or whatever helps you concentrate. With the NC on and music on low volume I find it real easy to focus on work. Music sounds great louder too if I am just listening to music.

Can you improve perfect?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Going from the XM3s to the XM4s, I cannot tell a difference. At the same time, the XM3s were the most perfect product I have ever bought. Therefore, this is also perfect. I don't like how Sony has treated the newer versions of the XM series, and this was the last of its kind. Huge fan of the XM3 sequel.

Great headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality, blue tooth connectivity and battery life are excellent. The software features are very useful. But 3.5mm headphone jack is not 4-pole so you cant use the built in microphone through a cable.

Sony WH4x
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice wireless headphones. The sound quality is very good. There is a Sony App that allows you to adjust the EQ and that has made the sound profile very good. You can also adjust some of the features, like if the headphones go silent when you start to talk Overall these are near audiophile headphones with very competent active sound suppression. The only downside for me is that the ear pads are a little small and tend to get warm. They are not water resistant and the newer 5 series have better sound suppression But is you are cost sensitive these are a great buy when they are on sale

New favorite headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Build and sound quality are up there with all of the Bose headsets I've purchased before this set, but I personally feel that these blow Bose and Beats out of the water, especially since I paid less for these than the comprable headphones from other brands. Also, the look of these headphones is a lot better than the others in my opinion. Only problem I've had is getting the built in mic to play nicely with discord on my laptop, whether it's in wired mode with an audio/mic splitter, or in wireless mode.
