Perfect for people with sensory issues!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1,000/10!!! I would 100% recommend. I was between this and the AirPod Pros, and I love these. They’re so comfortable and they’re more affordable. I’ve had them for almost 2 years now, and I still love them so much. Their battery life and sound quality is still good, but my favorite is the noise cancellation and the comfort. It fits around my ears instead of on them, and the ear pieces are so plush and comfortable. As someone who has sensory issues, these are perfect. I got them for grad school and continue to use them often.

Sony vs Bose
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sounds quality overall is okay but not as good as Bose. They do have a bit more bass than the Bose headphones but the notes and sound quality itself isn’t as good as the boss headphones. So if you want sounds quality don’t care for base I’d go with Bose. If your a bass head and don’t care much for quality of sound then grab these. They connect well and the app works sometimes with the headphones. But I went bald to the quiet comfort 45 Bose headphones. Just better sounding in my opinion you truly can’t go wrong with Bose they make better products.

Excellent Headphones
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best set of headphones I've ever used. I'm not an audiophile or anything like that, though. I mostly just use them while working or while cutting the lawn (noise cancelling works great as ear protection and the music is a bonus). They are very comfortable and they sound great.

Former Bose, new Sony Fan!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the 700 Bose headphones first, and while the sound was 'good', had too many issues with connections and with the Source List in the app not working when I needed it. Switched to the Sony headphones and couldn't be happier!! All my issues with Bose are nonexistent with the MX 4s. Longer battery, better sound (imo), better functionality with the controls since you have twice the surface area to work with... and the cheaper price is the icing on the cake!

Great Headphones
|Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think these headphones are great. The battery lasts plenty of time on a single charge. The sound quality is great, as is the noise canceling feature. The Sony Headphones app is a must for these. They are not for exercising or sports, since they are not water resistant or very tight. Great for commuting and leisure.

Comfortable and great noise cancelation headphone
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the fit of it on my head, very comfortable and not that heavy. I slept in the plane wearing it and no problem. And the cancellation is the best even if it’s turned off you can only hear a muffled-like noise. The battery lasts longer than I thought.

Sony Vs Apple
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great! Noise cancellation is amazing. I picked them up for sale and now I got my dad some for the original price. They are the older versions apparently but I think they are in competition with the Apple Max’s I previously used for sure
