    These are honestly one of the best noise cancelling headphones in the market. Perfect for people who are looking to disconnect from the world and take a deep dive in the world of EDM, hip hop or any genre that can appreciate the punchy sound profile these have. The Sony app works really well in terms of EQ and connectivity, these are a gift when they’re on a deal. The XM5’s are great but, in terms of almost every area including ANC, the 4’s are a better option while saving at least a few $$.

    I purchased the xb910, and the sound wasn’t quite to my liking, even after going through all the sound settings. I returned them and purchased the xm4, and was instantly pleased with the sound. And even more so after going through and setting up my sound preference. Super happy with the sound quality. It doesn’t get super loud as some have mentioned, but that’s probably not a bad thing, as it may save our hearing. And it looks a lot better than the xb910’s.

    Stellar sound quality and noise cancelling. Switched from Bose Quiet Comfort’s to the Sony XM4’s. Didn’t think I’d ever love another noise-canceling headphone as much as the QCs. These are amazing though. Great sound, battery life, quality.

    I’ve always wanted a good pair of headphones that were noise cancelling but didn’t give me a headache. These were perfect! The app allows you to adjust ambient sound or switch to noise cancelling and the sound is so crisp! If you’re wearing them and walking around, it will automatically switch you to ambient so you can hear your surroundings. I am in loveeeee with the matte color too and for a fraction of the price of AirPod Max’s!

    Headphones are comfortable and look great. Controls work great. The over all sound doesn't have enough impact. Needs more bass to provide a fuller sound. I adjusted the EQ as much as possible to achieve the sound I was looking for, but just couldn't get there. My XB900N headphones have spoiled me. Sony, please bring back the XB900N rather than the current XB910N.

    These are true noise cancelling headphones. They have all been great quality. These are no exception. I usually buy the earbuds or smaller but needed something for a long plane trip and got these. The cool part also is the app that goes with th allows you to attenuate the noise cancellation. Letting in a percentage of sound around in. Worth the price. You won’t be sad you got them.

    Tried 3 of the most popular headphones to find the best one. (AirPods Max, Bose 700, Sony XM4). All are great but these stand out a lot more in my opinion because of great sound and fit. Also cheapest of the 3 so W all around.
