Fantastic Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for an international trip, and they are amazing. While there is some noise leak, it's not the worst. I highly recommend them for planes and trains. The bass is great and easy to pair with your phone or laptop.

Good cans. They gave me a headache...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XM4's have great sound. I compared them with the Bose Q45s to see which sounded better and most comfortable. The XM4s sound was ok. It didn't blow my socks off. I think sound is subjective. Comfort-wise, the Sony's gave me a headache. I could not wear them all day when focusing when I am WFH. Too much squeeze on my head. Many reviews say that the XM4s are some of the best on the market. (I didn't try the XM5 because I want folding headphones.) However, I preferred the lighter, smaller profile Q45s over the heavier XMs. ANC was about equal. I also tried the new Beats Studio Pro that recently came out. I loved the sound. They were NOT comfortable. So.... the XM4 are good cans. I liked them. However, I prefer my Q45s. I forget they are on my head.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the headphones. Still utilizing it with no issues and getting used to the controls. Sometimes it will switch from noise canceling to else but I think it’s more a user error than system error.
