    The only issue I had was with comfortably. Which I found them to be extremely uncomfortable. However, thats just me. To each their own, as I’m sure no two heads are the same. Try them on before you buy, that was my only mistake.

      Hi Shiny, Great! You definitely made the right choice. We are extremely pleased to hear you are satisfied with your purchase and you are enjoying the superb sound quality and excellent noise cancellation of your WH-1000XM4. Your assessment is spot on. It's just you and your music with the WH-1000XM4 headphones. The easy way to enjoy less noise and even purer sound, with smart listening technology that automatically personalizes your experience. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. For total convenience, WH-1000XM4 headphones can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connect to the right one automatically. You'll also be able to quickly, smoothly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button. Thank you so much for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US
