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

High Quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros:Love how powerful the low frequency active noise cancellation (upstairs stomping),sturdy,sleek,simple user interface,excellent sound,big spacious earcups.The best low freq noise cancelling headphone out there (triumphs over bose qc ultras). Better than XM5 model for now because the human is still in control of the noise cancellation (XM4) Cons: can get hot quickly if worn for a long time in a hot area.

Absolutely Superb
||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.

Excellent headphones, but at a hefty price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So these are the first premium ANC headphones Ive owned. The sound quality is exceptional. The software features are impressive. The build quality is great. I’m definitely loving the experience, whether listening to music or to videos. I have a bigger head, and these do get a little uncomfortable after about 30 minutes. Not sure if there are any other premium headphones that are more comfortable. And the high price is definitely something to consider, if cost is a factor for you.
