    They cancel sound great, or at least softens loud noises, good sound quantity, they are really comfortable and I love the color. If you take them off it pauses what you are listening to and resumes when you put them back on. The only annoying feature is if I say something or clear my throat it pauses, but resumes about 20 seconds later on its own. All in all 5 stars.

    Great headphones and the noise canceling works really well. I really like the app because it really lets you customize the sound and controls. Much more comfortable for long flights/trips than earbuds.

      Hi Echofan,

      We are so glad the WH-1000XM4s have become your go-to travel companion for those international flights! To get even better results in the air, don't forget to use the "Atmospheric Pressure Optimizing" feature in the Sony Headphones Connect app, which adjusts the noise canceling specifically for high-altitude cabin pressure.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    I also have the Bose QC-35 and the Sony is just as good and even better on some features. I like the way it fits and looks. The only thing I like better on the Bose is that when I first turn it on it tells you which device it is connecting to. The Sony doesn’t. Also, I find the Bose easier to connect to a new device. Besides that, I’m very happy with the Sony.

Good to know you're enjoying the amazing features, especially when the headset will pause music playback automatically if the headset is removed, When the headset is worn again, the headset resumes music playback, excellent noise cancellation and incredible sound quality of these headphones.

The headphones blend sophisticated style with exceptional comfort. Super-soft, pressure-relieving earpads in foamed urethane evenly distribute pressure and increase ear/pad contact for a stable fit. And with a lighter-weight design, you'll barely notice you're wearing them. Thank you for your purchase and for the 5-star rating! -Jess Sony_US

      We are delighted that you consider the WH-1000XM4 to be one of the best all-round noise-cancelling headphones available! We are thrilled to hear you appreciate the Top-tier ANC, very comfortable design, great sound, and excellent mic quality.

      We also genuinely appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the design and sound signature. We understand the compact nature of a folding design is valued for travel convenience. Regarding the "safe" sound out of the box, we want to assure you that the Sony | Headphones Connect App offers a customizable Equalizer that allows you to easily adjust the bass, mids, and highs to your exact preference if you are looking for a different acoustic profile.

    Listening to music with my new Sony- WH1000XM4 is more enjoyable. The notes from different instruments flows sweetly, so mellow. No in-flight entertainment on my flight but with my Sony headphone, the movie sounded like it was seen on a big screen theater. The plane's engine's noise unnoticeable.

    Overall, this is a great product. I love the ability to be able to simultaneously connect with two bluetooth devices without having to disconnect from one of them. The sound quality, and noise cancelling is superb. There are more features than I really use, but these headphones are exceptionally capable, and easy to use. I don't think they're quite as comfortable as the prior generation (which I also use), the cushion around the ear isn't quite as soft... but some people may like it a little more firm. But that doesn't mean that they're uncomfortable, just not quite a cozy as the XM3. For the money, they're great.
