    Great sound, incredible noise cancelling, good optimization when wearing glasses under headphones. Only gripe is that my ears, which are small, are a bit cramped and sometimes touch the headphones, which can start to hurt. I also don't like the way the headband is a bit raised, not the most fashionable.

    The nice quality isn't as bad as I thought. But it could be better the reason why I'm giving it. 3 stars is because the headband piece digs into your scalp. And it could hurt, especially after hours use or if you have thin hair and the battery life is okay compared to other headphones. It tends to run out at a quicker rate depending on the volume. And setting, you have it on. But if you're a Sony fanatic, these would be better than the latest generations like the last 2 generations, aren't as good as you would think. This one, because it's thicker in the muffle area has a better. Noise-canceling property than the others, but it is heavy not to an extent. You would notice in the very beginning. But after hours use, you do notice it

      Hi NicoAnd,

      Thank you for the candid feedback on the WH-1000XM4. We're pleased the Noise Canceling performance is strong and that you find it superior to previous models.

      We sincerely apologize for the discomfort the headband is causing during long listening sessions and the frustration with the battery life variability.

      To help maximize the battery life, please check your Sony | Headphones Connect app and ensure features like DSEE Extreme are disabled, as these can increase power consumption. For the headband comfort, some users find that a third-party padded cover helps alleviate the pressure. Your detailed observations about comfort and weight are vital, and we'll ensure this feedback is passed along to our product design teams. Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,
      Eliab sony-global

    Have had these for a week and I've been using them everyday. Perfect for gaming on a laptop which produce a lot of fan noise. I have enjoyed playing with all the ease of use features and they respond VERY fast to touch. Only gripe I have, they get pretty warm. They are noise cancelling so can't expect that not to be a thing. Know what you are buying and you will enjoy these.

    Awesome sound effect and comfort on the ear. But biggest problem is multi device support. I paired it with apple TV and two iPhones and one Mac book. Whenever I turn on the Sony Headphone it's automatically connects last connected device (for example last connected device may be iPhone). If I want to connect to Apple TV, I have to remove the device and pair aging. Sony need to do something on that.

      Hi Wills, while we are glad to hear that you are happy with the comfort and sound quality of your WH1000XM4, we are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with its bluetooth connection feature. Once a device and the headset are paired, there is no need to pair them again. Connect to devices already paired with the headset using the methods necessary for each device.

      For this, if you are pairing the headphones to your TV, please turn off the Bluetooth connection of your mobile device.

      For more information on this, please check our help guide link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752778.html

    This item does what it advertised it would do. The music quality is outstanding. It cancels out noise and when you turn your head to the left or speak, it stops the sound that are coming through the headphones. Attractive appearance, you almost don’t see them when they are on your ears.

    Awesome sound quality and sound suppression. I can hear everything in videos and none of the outside world with these on. My only complaint is that my ears do get pretty hot after wearing them for a couple hours, but that's to be expected. I got these to be able to work late at night or early in the morning when my family's asleep and they work like a charm.

    I researched headphones and this came out on top. It's a pretty penny, so got it when it was discounted. Very comfortable fit. I've worn out for hours. There are so many features. The touch controls were a little tricky, so I had to youtube the instructions for all the different swipes and taps. Now that I'm use to it, it's easy. It comes with a nice sturdy case.
