Creaking/popping noise
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are very good. I love the sound and the noise cancelling is top notch. My main issue with my unit is the left earcup/band makes some kind of subtle creaking sound/popping noise whenever i move my head. It is quite distracting when I am trying to listen to music. I expected better quality control considering this is a $350 headset.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really excited to own these and finally came across the opportunity to purchase them. I use them for a week, but constantly found that my right ear tip would hurt. I did some more research online and found that this is a very common problem. I also did not like how sweaty my ears and sides of my head would get when I used them outdoors it made me feel uncomfortable, especially around other people. I feel that this would be a great product if Sony would just fix the ear cushions. I ended up buying AirPod Max’s instead.

Audio quality and fit
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Audio quality is good for what you pay. But coming from Bowers & Welkins the audio on B&W is excellent compared to XM4. The fit on XM4 is poor, and you can’t wear them at gym as it falls off.

Speak to chat is annoying
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's comfortable and it fits well. The quality of the materials are really good. The only thing that I hate about this headphones are the speak to chat feature. It does not make sense to me. It's very sensible and it gets really annoying. I have it disabled on my phone so I don't run into interruptions.
