Pretty good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They're good. However, I was a little disappointed in the features, quality, and comfort. The most annoying part with these is the touch controls. The touch controls are too frustrating to have use regularly.

Posted .Hey Shane! Thank you so much for that fantastic review. We are so pleased to hear you consider the WH-1000XM4 the best noise-canceling headphones you've ever used! That's exactly what we love to hear.
You've put your finger on the exact reason why! The powerful noise-canceling is made possible by our HD Noise-Canceling Processor QN1. We've packed each earcup with two microphones that work together to capture all that external noise. Thanks to a clever algorithm, the processor then zaps that noise out in real time, giving you a truly distraction-free listening experience. It's rewarding to know we got it right for you.
Thank you again for choosing Sony and for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate your strong recommendation!
Best regards,
Gus, Sony Social Media Team
