Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had some beats studios from a long time ago that was not performing like it used to. I did a bit of research and these headphones were a great upgrade. The sony app that the headphones require is user friendly and will turn on only when the headphones are. Noise cancellation is awesome. Lots of other great features but it would make this review into a story. I would highly recommend anyone that is in the market to try these bad boys.

Not My Preferred Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, these are good Wireless Noise Canceling headphones and are probably great if you have never tried Bose Quiet Comfort headphones or Apple Airpod Pros. Pros: Noise Canceling is very good Ambient Noise system is good Fit is nice Sound is great They turn off automatically Battery life is great Cons: Re-Connecting to devices is cumbersome Controls are terrible (Volume, Play, Pause, Stop) Default Settings are trash Difficult to switch between devices Prefer On/Off button than a momentary button Only extra button is useless Overall, I prefer my Apple Airpods over these. I would also prefer the Quiet Comfort Bose that I lost to these. The noise-canceling on these are superior to all, but they've become so difficult to use that I just prefer not to. What's the use of the greater noise canceling if you turning it on takes 5 minutes.

The best noise canceling headphones available
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best noise canceling over ear headphones hands down. I’ve tried all the big main manufacturers. Sony XM series are without a doubt the best ones out there for that money range. Highly recommend! My only complaint is that the new XM4 vs my old XM3 it seems as the battery does not last as long, but with a 30 hour battery life I’m still happy.

it is a steal for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is much better than some of the high end headphones found in Magnolia. Very good warm bass but it overshadows the high frequencies. The sound may sound muddled. But for the price, it is worth like a steal. Surely, it is very highly recommended for the price.

Best in everything except comfort
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is about a 4 out of 5. If you have music playing then you cant hear outside world which I like most so 5/5. If you want to hear outside turn on ambient sound. I am not fan of Sony due to their customer service or I would say I had bad experience in India where they ask me for repair cost in warranty product(no physical damage). But based on reviews I found this Mx4 is best suitable for me and I found it perfect. These are not comfortable somehow to me. My ear starts paining after 1-2hrs of usage and I thought I will get used it by now(4 month later) but same issue. I do have Sony's MDR-XB950B1 and used them for 3 years and they are extremely comfortable and I never had problem using them long hours. But these MX4 are not that comfortable, they feel comfortable when you use them for couple of songs but if you are travelling and using more than hr or you might feel that pain or may be its just me.
