Best wireless headphones EVER!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling is awesome, so comfortable to wear. I use them to listen to audiobooks without disturbing anyone around me. Also late night TV bothers no one else and I can hear like it was a theatre. Stereo surround sound is awesome! I made a great purchase!

Hurt my head
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are pretty good. Good sound quality, work well with teams, etc. I returned them because of the fit. I wear headphones all day for work and these caused pain on the top of my head due to the shape. I don’t get this with the Bose quiet comfort or hyperx gaming headset.

Posted .Hi Will,
We are thrilled to hear your thoughts on the WH-1000XM4 headphones and appreciate you sharing your experience. It's great to know that the sound quality and Teams compatibility stood out for you. These headphones are designed with smart noise cancelling and easy controls to help keep your workflow smooth.
We’re sorry about the discomfort with the fit. Wearing headphones all day definitely calls for something that works for you and that kind of pain isn’t what we want for anyone. Your feedback on the shape compared to other headsets is super helpful.
Thanks again for taking the time to let us know how it went and for considering Sony products.
Sincerely,

Great headphones, garbage controls
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones look and sound great. I prefer them to my bose headphones. That being said, the touch controls on the headphones are a huge steaming pile of garbage. Whoever had the bright idea to implement it was either in to deep to back out or purely clueless to what people want in their products. I have 20 year old vending machine headphones with better controls.

||Posted .

Super comfortable, no ear fatigue. Sound is great! Only thing keeping this from 5 stars is they fit a little too loose for certain gym movements.

Some great features. One annoying problem
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: The noise cancellation is awesome. It is on par or slightly better than the Bose QC 35 II. It is more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time than the Bose (at least for my ears). Cons: The biggest problem I have is that when restarting the headphones, the volume always starts at maximum. I am using the iPhone app. Sometimes the volume control on the iphone app is not responsive when on a call.
