Really nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cannot complain. The noise canceling is awesome. The ease of use for adjusting sound changing track and so on is perfect. I purchased these over another major brand and I find them to be equal but they cost me less. I also owned the earbuds in the same model from the same company, and they are absolutely phenomenal as well.

These phones deliver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones deliver. Touted as the best NC phones, the XM4s did not disappoint. The freq response is wide (even wider if you run them wired) and the noise cancellation exceeded my expectations and my experience. While the Bose 700s are good, the XM4s are truly better. I did find them to be a little more brassy than the XM3s. My only disappointment was that the ear cushions are not thick enough to contain some of the higher volumes and someone sitting next to me can hear what I am listening to. But sound construction, wide freq response, full featured, phenom NC. What’s not to like?

Disappointed Due to Ear Pain
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited to try the Sony WH-1000XM4 after hearing so many great things about its sound quality and noise cancellation. While the audio performance is definitely impressive, I’ve been experiencing consistent ear pain whenever I use the headphones. After wearing them for even a short period, my ears start to feel uncomfortable, and the pressure becomes hard to ignore. I tried adjusting the fit several times, but the discomfort remains, making it difficult to enjoy the music or wear the headphones for longer sessions. Unfortunately, despite their excellent technical features, the lack of comfort has been a major drawback for me. Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM4 may work well for many users, but if you’re sensitive to ear pressure or tight-fitting ear cups, you might face similar discomfort. I’m disappointed because I really wanted to like these headphones, but the ear pain makes it hard to recommend them.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed and honest feedback, SrinivasB.
We are delighted to hear that you found the WH-1000XM4's audio performance and technical features, like the noise cancellation, to be impressive. However, we are truly sorry and concerned to learn that you are experiencing consistent ear pain and discomfort after even short periods of use. We understand that excellent features mean little if the product is painful to wear, and we sincerely apologize that the fit has been a major drawback for you despite your efforts to adjust the earcups.
Comfort is a top priority, especially for premium noise-canceling headphones designed for long listening sessions. While the headband clamping force is engineered for secure sealing, we regret that it is causing you pressure-related pain.
If you would like to explore any final comfort adjustments, our support team can offer personalized tips. Otherwise, we appreciate you bringing this specific feedback about fit sensitivity to our attention as it is invaluable for future product development.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Great sound but that price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony always does great with sound coming from their headphones. This pair is no different. And the color navy blue makes it a great catch for me. The price is a little too stiff for me, but when they go on sale, i would jump on it ASAP.
