Excellent Quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a nice pair of headphones that are noise canceling and has a nice bass to them. These headphones more than exceeded my expectations. They also pair well with two devices at the same time. This is my first time trying Sony's headphones and I'm looking forward to trying their future releases.

We're glad that you like the sound quality and noise canceling function of the headphones. The WH-1000XM4 is a new design, with intelligent and intuitive Ambient Sound Control features that include improvements to Multipoint connection and our industry-leading Noise Cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and Smart Listening that adjusts to your behavior and location.
We appreciate your feedback about the comfort of the headphones. Make sure to adjust the headband for optimum fit and comfort. You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue. Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while. The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt. You may need to limit your headphone usage. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your review and for choosing Sony!
