Amazing investment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best investments I've made. My apartment is next to a busy road, when I'm doing hw, the noise cancellation is amazing. Sometimes I don't even use it for music, but just pure Bliss and silence. It's lightweight and comfortable, and I love the dark blue color. 10/10

Top of the line noise cancelling headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noice cancelling. These headphones are lighter than the WH-1000XM2 that are being replaced. Build quality is not as robust as the older pair, but sound is better. Great deal when on sale. Best Buy is the only store that offers the Midnight Blue color which I like the best.

Simply the best hands dwon
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve tried many headphones and these are by far the most comfortable and have the best noise canceling aside from the apple airpods max, but the airpods max are too heavy in my opinion and too expensive.

I use this to study and it helps prevent other distractions. The battery life lasts for a while.

Amazing ANC and Incredible Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these for the ANC, I was blown away by the 360 Reality Audio. If you are looking at the XM4s or even the XM3s, you already know that they have set the bar for ANC. When you put these on, you just hear all that background noise woosh away putting you into silence. I've had other headphones from Anker SoundCore, to Cowin to some weird Chinese brands from Amazon and nothing comes close to the level of ANC that Sony can produce. It is truly incredible. Playing around with the Sony app(s), I stumbled upon the 360 sound demo and I was not expecting it to work as well as it did. Then I found some of the 360 / 3D / 8D videos on YouTube and it is awesome. Goofy ones like the Tucker Zone that will make you turn your head because you could swear someone was behind you knocking on a door, to songs remastered in a way that is like 5.1 and goes beyond your typical stereo effect. I can't believe I waited so long to purchases these, but I am so glad I finally did.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the noise cancellation. And when you take the headset off it pauses the music. If only the sound was louder . Me personally I want to sound like I have in AirPods . But these are great for people that don’t care about the loudness

best form factor for sony headphones
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.some of the best headphones money can buy. I like this model better than the later ones as it had a thicker headband which is comfy for bald people. cant wear the new ones without head pain. Sony please think of this for the XM7s this form factor was much better. the drivers in the xm3 sound the best for bass but somehow these still sound better than xm5 or xm6 they are trying to make them smaller but ruining the bass in the process.

Great over the ear
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I need a pair of the ear headphones for long study sessions that blocked out sound. I looked around, read reviews and and tried on several pairs. It ultimately came down that I need to purchase them, take them home and try them. I decided that I would buy the Sony flagship headphone. So far they have worked out wonderful. The sound is great and the lack of outside sound is awesome too. They do not block out sound like in the year versions, but they also do not kill your ear during long term listening sessions. I am still trying to get use to the controls but that is just using them more. I do like the ability to put up the ear and bam you can hear people without taking them off. The one thing I did not like, was the fact that Best Buy was all out of the black ones... I also did not want to to wait a couple of days to get a black version or I could have gone another route... but that is a very small issue.

Very good sound and noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is great, quality and build is great. Expensive because they are fantastic. All the great reviews are true, I won’t repeat it all, but I will mention a couple of small complaints, but I still love these headphones. 1) My hair isn’t what you would call long, but these things tend to pluck a hair out every time I take them off. It has gotten less so as I have become more careful but the reason for this is also problem 2 2) Sony always makes these foldable headphones. I couldn’t care less that they fold, and I don’t care or need a cute little case they fold into. I just put them in my backpack anyway, and I get the feeling Sony puts all this r and d into this stupid folding feature. Unnecessary moving parts make them feel cheap and wiggly, and pinch my hair out, and I bet I’m paying more for this annoyance. They are built to last, but I don’t think I am alone in NOT GIVING A CRAP that they FOLD UP. 3) The charging cable is like three inches long...
