    I’ve always had a hard time buying over the ear headphones that didn’t cause ear pain after some time of wear and these are just so comfy, so lightweight, and super beautiful. Love them so much!

    The noise canceling is really good and sound leakage is nonexistent. The only thing is somethings they can fall off because they are a little to big. But overall I love them

      Hi AlexaP.

      That's fantastic to hear! We're thrilled you're loving your Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones and that their noise canceling and sound isolation are hitting the mark for you. We appreciate your honest feedback about the fit. While we design our headphones for a comfortable experience for a wide range of users, we understand that head size and shape can vary, and sometimes they might feel a little big.

    These are replacing the M2s. I loved those and after using these they are definitely a step up. I love that I no longer need an audio cable most of all. They are very comfortable and do a superior job of noise canceling. These are the best on the market. There are plenty of expert reviews out there and all of them are spot on. This is a superior product.

    These are easily the best headphones I've ever purchased. It took me awhile to finally decide to lay down the money for them since they are a little pricy, but totally worth it! I really struggle when it comes to finding the right headphones. Earbuds will NOT stay in my ear, no matter what make, model or kind they are...so that leaves me with over-the-ear headphones. I have gen 1 AirPods but I'm constantly adjusting them to make sure they don't fall out...which they still do on occasion and it's really frustrating. I also fly a lot, and trying to listen to music or watch movies while on the plane is always a struggle because I end up holding the Pods into my ear so I can actually hear over the noise. These bad boys take all of that away. The noise cancellation feature is exactly what I was looking for and I love being able to just put my palm to the side to hear what someone is saying to me. I debated between these and the AirPods Max but these won out because of price, they aren't as heavy on my head and they come with a carrying case. Definitely worth the money! Only con, they do make my ears sweat after awhile, but not bad enough to knock them for it.
