Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent noise canceling and long lasting battery. Being able to fold the headphones makes great for traveling. I have them looked up to our new Sony Bravia XR TV and can enjoy movies at full blast without waking anyone up.

Amazing Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound. App is amazing. Only thing is that the pads get greasy a little easily but that isn't a deal breaker. The EQ is amazing once you fine tune to your liking. Also comes with 3.5mm cord as well as an airplane adapter, which is great.

7/10
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the noise cancellation. And when you take the headset off it pauses the music. If only the sound was louder . Me personally I want to sound like I have in AirPods . But these are great for people that don’t care about the loudness

Good, not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfy, work well, sound good, not great. Maybe I was expecting too much. LDAC must be used on my Note 10+, sounds like mud otherwise. Problem is, using LDAC doesn't allow pairing to two devices. Otherwise, many cool features. I would recommend them when they're on sale. I like the blue color.

Great sound, not so great noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old, wired QuietComforts had finally come to a time they needed replacing, and I knew I wanted to get a high quality pair of wireless headphones. Sound quality is big for me, and equally important is the noise cancellation since I work in an open office and spend a fair amount of time on flights. While these Sony headphones definitely deliver on sound quality (the app is cool, if not kind of quirky, too), the noise cancellation is not as good as my old QCs. Also, switching Bluetooth between devices is unnecessarily difficult, requiring you to restart the headphones. I don't regret the purchase, but if i could do it again, i think I'd splurge for the XM5s or the QC 700s.

Don’t look for the XM5’s, get these!
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] 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 $$.

MUST HAVE
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
