New love
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My sister bought these a few months ago, and I became obsessed too! I usually buy the Apple Beats headphones, but these are so much better in every way— physically, functionally, and musically. Plus, the noise cancellation feature is absolutely OP. I got this headphone discounted and definitely worth the purchase. Only complaint is that the earmuffs are a little big, but I think it’s a small price to pay.

Simply the best
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using the first generation MDR-1000X for nearly 4 years. It's finally the time to upgrade! The Mark 4 has excellent sound quality and NC capabilities. I love the multi-point function, which solved a long-standing pain point for the 1000X series and is perfect for working from home.

XM4 Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality and easy-to-navigate app UI, only complaint would be the control panel on the side of the headphones which are just hard to use at first and I find myself just manually skipping or controlling my music on my phone rather than actually using it.

Great headphones with Great Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, I’m pleased with these headphones. I caught them on sale shortly before Christmas. I have tested them on several occasions around the house, and the noise cancellation works great. The true test will be on my next flight. I purchased them primarily for air travel so it will filter out engine noise and chatter. The speak-to-chat feature is kinda annoying when conducting a phone call, but thankfully it can be deactivated.

Perfect Feature Set
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first major headphone purchase in a while, and I do not regret it. I bought these to replace my Beats Studios from 2011 after they finally kicked the bucket and everything is a huge upgrade. The ANC, features in the app, auto pause, two devices at once, ambient sound when talking to anyone. I could go on an on but they aree perfect for my needs as a software developer working from home. I would recommend these to anyone as these are the best headphones I have ever owned.

Love them!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones! They noise cancel quite well, and of course, the quality is great. my only issues are that they fall off my head if i move back too much sometimes (but that might be because i have a small head lol) and they do leak noise at a certain volume. other than these minor issues, they’re great!!

Good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones sounds great after using the in-app equalizer, though the reliance on the app is a negative for me. Also, the touch buttons are trash. Though this is made up for by the best in class noise cancellation.

Sound
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just purchased these headphones. They sound good so far. But you are right in relation to the touch control. I'm not getting the pause when I double tap, that I do when I use my Bose in NC700s. However the volume up and the forward and reverse or should I say forward track and previous track. Does seem to work.

Posted .Hi JhonD,
Thank you for the purchase! We're glad to hear you like the sound quality of the Sony headphones. We do apologize for the inconvenience. The sensor of the touch sensor control panel is built into the flat surface of the right unit. Operate within the range of the sensor. When you swipe your finger forward/backward or up/down on the touch sensor control panel, the touch sensor control panel may not work correctly depending on the angle at which the headset is worn or the direction your head is facing. Also, the headset will not operate correctly when you operate the headset with your fingernail or a gloved hand. Remove your glove, and operate the headset with the ball of your finger.
