Improvements on a Great Pair of Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously owned the XM3's, which were by far my favorite headphones I've ever owned. Those developed a crack in the left band after about a year and a half, so I purchased these. These are just as great in terms of sound quality, but the added features put them over the top. I really like that sony added wear detection and multi device support. Both features seem to work really well. I do have to say the noise cancellation doesn't seem to work as well as the previous model when it comes to women's voices and higher tones. Hopefully this can be improved with added updates, which seemed to be the case with the previous model.

The best noise canceling headphones available
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best noise canceling over ear headphones hands down. I’ve tried all the big main manufacturers. Sony XM series are without a doubt the best ones out there for that money range. Highly recommend! My only complaint is that the new XM4 vs my old XM3 it seems as the battery does not last as long, but with a 30 hour battery life I’m still happy.

Noise cancelling headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It really cancels out noise when you just want to lock in. Really helped me during my days to study for the boards. I love going to cafe, but sometimes it could get really loud, but with this device. It helped me focus better because of the noise cancellation it provides.

Great Sound. Excellent Features
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am someone who always used bose headphones due to their amazing sound quality. However, my friend suggested me to try this headphone and dang I was surprised. The headphones have amazing sound quality specially base if you compare with bose over the ear headphones. I really like the right ear touch feature to listen outside sound clearly. If you are looking for an amazing quality product, look no further. One con can be that I like the acoustic sound in Bose headphones better. You may have to change the settings to get the best sound for songs with low base.
