Excellent headphones, but at a hefty price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So these are the first premium ANC headphones Ive owned. The sound quality is exceptional. The software features are impressive. The build quality is great. I’m definitely loving the experience, whether listening to music or to videos. I have a bigger head, and these do get a little uncomfortable after about 30 minutes. Not sure if there are any other premium headphones that are more comfortable. And the high price is definitely something to consider, if cost is a factor for you.

Great Premium Headset
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve used QC45s, own a pair of AirPod Maxes and have these. For the price, these are great. Sure, you can pay more for QC45’s or AirPod Max’s, but for 95% of users this would be more than satisfied with these compared to other premium noise canceling headsets. The only benefit that the QC45s hold over these is the more neutral sound out of the box. With a bit of tweaking, I got these to the same level (they came a bit too bass heavy as a default).

Perfect for work from home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are perfect for working from home! The noise canceling is crazy good. I initially purchased the Bose QCii and was very disappointed by the sound quality. So I returned those for these and to me, the difference is worth the money. Got them for $278. Sound is great, although you do have to adjust the eq settings in the Sony app to make them sound better. Also work great for zoom calls. I’ve seen some complaints that the mic isn’t the best but I haven’t received any complaints yet.

Good but not perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm overall happy with my headphones, however there are two main things that I didn't like about them. First, the "cabin pressure" that I feel when wearing them is a noticeable thing, and when I first started wearing them it made me dizzy after about an hour. However as I used them more I got over that dizziness. Second, the earpads are a little small so my ears are always touching the inner part of the ear cup, and because of that my ears start hurting after about 30 minutes of use. It's not too bad, so I keep using them, but it still hurts and I would rather it not. Other than that they sound great and cancel out a lot of background noise. I am really happy with my purchase!

Posted .Hi Tristan, Thank you for taking the time to review the WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones. When you wear the headset over a cap, a scarf, hair, etc., wearing detection may not work properly, and the touch sensor control panel may not be available for operation. Wear the headset so that your ears are inside the earpads. The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt. You may need to limit your headphone usage.
