Perfect for work from home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are perfect for working from home! The noise canceling is crazy good. I initially purchased the Bose QCii and was very disappointed by the sound quality. So I returned those for these and to me, the difference is worth the money. Got them for $278. Sound is great, although you do have to adjust the eq settings in the Sony app to make them sound better. Also work great for zoom calls. I’ve seen some complaints that the mic isn’t the best but I haven’t received any complaints yet.

Good but not perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm overall happy with my headphones, however there are two main things that I didn't like about them. First, the "cabin pressure" that I feel when wearing them is a noticeable thing, and when I first started wearing them it made me dizzy after about an hour. However as I used them more I got over that dizziness. Second, the earpads are a little small so my ears are always touching the inner part of the ear cup, and because of that my ears start hurting after about 30 minutes of use. It's not too bad, so I keep using them, but it still hurts and I would rather it not. Other than that they sound great and cancel out a lot of background noise. I am really happy with my purchase!

Posted .Hi Tristan, Thank you for taking the time to review the WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones. When you wear the headset over a cap, a scarf, hair, etc., wearing detection may not work properly, and the touch sensor control panel may not be available for operation. Wear the headset so that your ears are inside the earpads. The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt. You may need to limit your headphone usage.
Intelligent and intuitive, the WH-1000XM4 headphones offer further improvements to our industry-leading noise cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and smart listening that adjusts to your behavior and your location. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. Meanwhile, the Equalizer lets you customize sound levels to suit your music. Thanks for sharing your review! Jay

A trump can Interrupt your listening.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Superb headphones that enhance audio quality to amazing levels. Watching a movie in these things is a delight. My one peeve is they are super sensitive to external noise, meaning they will automatically pause and shut off if you so much as cough, sneeze or say hi to your pet. I farted watching Top Gun and it paused the whole movie.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of headphones. I was debating between these and the Bose QC45s. After scouring the internet reading reviews, I decided on these because of the ANC, the looks, and the touch capabilities. I have not been disappointed. I love the design, the feel, and all the bells and whistles. The app on the phone also offers way more control than the Bose app. You will not regret buying these over the Bose until Bose releases their next model.

Great noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Given as a gift and loved. These are the best noise cancelling headphones in my opinion. I have tried these and Bose and these are noticeably better, especially when traveling. They are fragile however so careful about dropping them.

Great Headphone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.have watched a lot of reviewing videos of comparing the xm4 and AirPods max. And finally, decided to buy this one. The weight is a major concern, I always ware a headphone for over 8 hours a day for meeting/music. I don't think I could do this with an AirPods max. I know the sound quality of AirPods max is better than xm4, but I don't think it's a huge difference, xm4 has already met my expectation. anyway, I would recommend this product, especially when I saw airpods max is cost $550.
