Mostly Very Good.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product deserving of all the good reviews. One of the two most comfortable available, especially compared to Dr Beats. Most so-called over the ear headphones seem to be more on the ear than not with thin. hard headbands. These definitely fit well. Not brilliant for Apple users unless you're using only one device.

Great sound and setting customization
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great so far! Sound quality is very nice and the controllable settings in the app are fantastic! The only thing that is not great is that it kind of falls forward if I lean over, even on the tightest setting.

Great Quality Headphones but...
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked these at first, but they did not compare to another brand I purchased. I did not like having to use an app to have the control settings. The other brand I purchased is able to work seamlessly without the app. They are great-quality headphones but did not like the user interface.

Posted .Hi Techie2o11, Thank you for choosing Sony. While we are glad to hear that you are happy with your new WH-1000XM4 headphones, we are sorry to hear that it did not meet all of your expectations. You can use the headphones even without the application installed on your Bluetooth device. The Sony Headphones connect app will allow you to change the settings of the WH-1000XM4 and these settings will remain even if the headphones disconnects or pairs to another device. The settings will only revert back to default when the headphones are initialized back to factory default. I hope this helps and thank you so much for your feedback.
Regards,
Carl

||Posted .

Posted .Hi Rastaman22,
We're glad that you like the sound quality and Speak-to-Chat function of the headphones. It's unfortunate you're not having the experience with its fit. Make sure to adjust the headband for optimum fit and comfort. You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue. Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while. The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt. You may need to limit your headphone usage.
Sony takes all feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony.
