The best in its class
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am glad I purchased this. I was also considering Bose, but these Sony headphones won me over. The battery life is the best out of all the other headphones in its class. I can go 2 days before I need to charge the headphones. For example, I used this headphones for a full day (8 am to 12 midnight) and I still had 70% of battery life left. Also, my next door neighbor was mowing the lawn one day and all I heard was a slight hum of the mower with the noise cancellation on and no music playing & with music playing I did not hear the mower at all.

Wowza!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were a Christmas gift for our 16 year old son. He actually asked for a different brand that was cheaper, but they didn’t have them in stock. These were a step up and we got a "No way! These are the best! I never thought I would get these! These are awesome! Thanks mom, thanks dad!" I would say we made a good choice. I'll have to admit...they are pretty sweet, from the comfortable ear pads to the noise cancelling to the fantastic sound to the capabilities of answering your phone. Great product!

MX4 review
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product overall, noise canceling is on point, and perfect for use at the gym, studying, quiet time, jamming music, and even having on while trying to listen to outside noise using ambient mode. The color was even better in person, and the packaging was great. Can't wait to see the XM6

||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic pair of headphones sound quality wise. The frequency response signature is preferable to the Sony XM 5 headphones in my view. I must admit I worked them till they fell apart at the hinges. I am tempted to replace them with a new pair at the heavily discounted price but also own a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 3 and 4’s and have no way to justify the purchase to my better half. Still I can highly recommend them to give you multiple hours of enjoyment.

Best over ear headphones I’ve tried
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely my fave over ear headphones. It’s so comfortable to use for long periods of time. The sound quality is amazing. The controls are 50/50, the volume is controlled my sliding your finger up or down and waiting to see if you did it correctly, which I don’t like. But there are actual buttons to turn it on or off as well as to toggle between ambient sound off and on or noise cancellation on. It also connects to 2 devices at the same time allowing you to switch between devices without reconnecting Bluetooth each time. One thing I found annoying is if you accidentally brush your arm or whatever against the volume side earmuff, you’ll trigger its action by lowering or raising its volume. Also the noise cancellation is just ok, it could be better but it’s still really good.

Love them, but they are too big for my head
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really really love the sound of these, the features, the noise cancelling, everything. The only issue is my head might be a little too small because the end up being held up by my ears and that grts uncomfy. Trying to see if I can make them work or if I need to take them back and try to find some that adjust a bit smaller to my head. Ive had to put a sock underneath the headband part so it doesnt hurt my ears, they are super comfortable when they sit right though!

Best daily drivers
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony Headphones don’t disappoint thus far. I have never had more comfortable daily headphones. For those of us who aren’t audiophiles… well we won’t notice a difference between these the Bose, Beats, or even Skull Candy headphones. However, when you’re working remote and have these for over 8hrs a day these are the best for comfort and have good sound quality and noise cancelling.

Life changing for traveling
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome sound quality. Tried the Bose quietcomfort initially and returned them for these instead. I used them on a trans Atlantic flight and it was incredible, couldn't hear the airplane at all. Battery seriously lasts FOREVER and the foldability is very convenient.

These headphones rock!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First time spending a moderate amount of money on some good audio quality headphones. The connectivity is great and easily interchangeable with all your devices witch was a huge plus for me to be able to switch between my PC and phone. It will automatically switch for you if hooked up properly. I was really curious about where noise cancelling headphone tech was and this was a great example. Almost all ambient noise is blocked out from these especially if the ambient noise is from a distance. The closer it is the more easily it will still be picked up which is great if someone is trying to talk near you, you will still hear them unless the volume is completely blasted. Having kids these help out great for when they are watching tv or playing and having fun and instead of being frustrated i can still enjoy my content. I do not have a lot of other headphones to compare these to but the sound quality far exceeds any headphones I had prior even earbuds. They have extremely punchy and strong sound. You can get them to your desired genre preference using the app it comes with, Amazing high quality headphones at a reasonable price.

Best wireless noise canceling headphones out there
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best wireless, noise cancelling headphones out there! I have the new Bose noise canceling headphones and the new AirPod Pros as well. I would rank these Sony headphones slightly above the Bose and the Apple AirPod Pros last. The Sony’s switch back and forth between your devices flawlessly and no other headset does that effectively. Sound wise, they’re just as good as the other 2 and have the best bass. You can’t go wrong with these!
