I use the noise canceling feature in order to focus with my work and it does the job. I used it between 4-6 hours and I never felt like my head is being squeezed by the headphones.

Amazing Headphones for the price on Sale
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from beats Solo 3, better sound and ANC is pretty cool couldn't hear my fan running in my room. Easy to pair with my iPhone 13 Pro Max. The ear cushion area does get a bit warm but its still nice and conformable than the Solo 3 (It was very tight and couldn't where them for a long time.) $249 was the price when I bought these.

Theyre not that great but theyre not the worst...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are not great. Theyre not adjustable so if you have a small head theyll never stay put. Mine dont. Ive also noticed that the volume doesnt get very loud. Its almost like the headphones come programmed to be a certain volume and that is the loudest they can go. I neat returned them for this reason. They comfortable as far as the ear part and i do think the noise cancellation feature is pretty cool. I bought me a pair and my husband a pair.

Posted .Hi Lavisha,
We're glad that you like the comfort and noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you were already looking to return the headphones. The headband of the headphones can be adjusted to suit your head shape. You may refer to this link for more information:
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002928786.html
For optimum performance, make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). For the best volume experience, turn up the volume of the headset and the connected device. Connect the Bluetooth device to the headset once again.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. This will certainly help us improve our products. Thanks for choosing Sony.

Best NC Headphones I've Used
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these on sale for $275 (down from $350) and am very, very happy with them. They ranked as good or better than both Bose and Apple AirPods Max in many, many comparisons and - even at full price - are the cheapest of the 3. The noise cancelling truly is next level. They sound amazing as well. A really immersive experience. You can fine tune the sound to your liking via an equalizer that you control from the included Sony app. There are lots of other bells, whistles and gadgets - adaptive noise cancellation (NC adjust automatically based on your environment) and Sony's proprietary 360 degree sound codec. The codec is nifty and sounds amazing but is only available on three premium music services (Deezer, Tidal & Amazon HD) and kept behind an expensive paywall on all of them. To be honest - ALL music sounds just great on these. Your mileage may vary as to if this is something that you HAVE to have. I probably won't be renewing the free 3 month Deezer trial that comes with the cans. The MAIN showcase here are the noise cancelling and sound quality which are both top grade. You could take away the other stuff and these would still be worth the price point.

Great noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything works as advertised, specially the excellent noise canceling and battery life. I listen to it over 24 hours without worrying about recharging it. The sound is well balanced, the engineering of it didn’t add Lows or Highs like other popular brands such as the Beats does. I like Sony most because of the battery life and noise canceling.

Best Purchase This Year
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is absolutely amazing and the ability to seamlessly switch between multiple devices without repairing is a game changer. It also has a feature I call "spouse mode" that will cause the music when you talk and then you on the outside microphones and then starts playing music when you stop talking. No need to take off the headphones every time someone talks to you.

Great Headphones with
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery life is so good lasts almost 2 weeks with my usage of almost 2 hours daily. Noise cancelling is amazing but it reduces battery life a bit. Sound quality is not too bad as well. NFC pairing is always good to have. I do not use the google assistant feature, as I prefer to map the touch controls for volume and ambient control

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow! I liked the XM3, it feels and sound good. I’m so glad Sony finally came out with the new XM4 with multi device support. I waited to splurge on this headphone. The sound is still beautifully clear as the XM3. It fits nice and feel really light when wearing for long period of time. Still has best noise-cancelling feature of any headphones out there. Well worth the wait!
