    Excellent noise canceling and the sound quality is so great! I can finally stay focus and stop getting distracted from all the little noise around me. My partner and I both got this same model because we love it so much.

    You won’t go wrong with these if your want a good over ear headphone with all the bells and whistles. It’s way too big for my head though, so if you have a tiny head like me then you might not find these as comfortable as others.

      Hi Katy, Glad to hear that you are happy with the sound quality and features of your new WH-1000XM4 headphones. To reduce discomfort while wearing the headphones, try adjusting the headband and the earpads properly. These headphones actually support super-soft, pressure-relieving earpads in foamed urethane evenly distribute pressure and increase ear/pad contact for a stable fit.

      Regards,
      Carl Sony_US

    Excellent pair of over the ear headphones. I've got a fairly large head (and big ears) which was an issue for my Beats headphones, but not with these. Very comfortable, excellent noise cancelling, and incredible sound,

    Purchased this a couple of years ago to help deal with apartment noise while working from home. The noise cancelling does not provide absolute quiet but reduced the noise enough I could concentrate much better. It's music playing quality is decent.

    This was a gift for my daughter for Christmas. It is lightweight and seems so much more convenient than the wired headphones from back in the day. She has not used them yet, but it's exactly what she wanted.

    Haven't owned over-ear headphones in years but I'm getting tired of earbuds. Switched from Galaxy Buds Pro 2 to these and I don't regret it. They're not the most intuitive for touch control but once you figure it out it's very simple. Love the volume control option. I would recommend these for sure.

    In comparison to my B&W PX7 these are close in comfort and ease of use. The radio is stronger and goes about 10 feet further in a straight line and 3 to 5 feet side to side. The sound is not as deep and pronounced as the B&W's but for general use its good. So trade off sound or distance. B&W's material feels finer (Carbon) and controls a little easier.
