Amazing sound and noise cancellation
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these headphones for work. Amazing features. With the Sony app, you can customize your noise cancellation, I have it to cancel all sounds except people talking to half, so I can still hear people if they are close but not far away. Has built in mics and if you put your hand over the right ear up, it turns off sound cancellation and you can talk normally with lightning quick response time.

Oh my
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve always been a Bose fan.. I have the latest NC 700s and love(d) em. Just for kicks I decided to try the Sony competition and it’s incredible how amazing they sound. I’ve only had em a couple days now, but I can already say that sound-wise they wipe the floor with my Bose NC 700s. Let’s just hope they last and I don’t have any connection issues like I’ve had with my Sony earbuds!

The best yet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When Covid-19 occurred I shifted to remote working. I quickly found myself becoming agitated in response to the noise in my home. These headphones turn off the noise. Whether it’s my living room’s ac unit, the chatter of roommates, or the hum of my desktop, it all disappears when I place the XM4’s over my ears

||Posted .

If you turn on the noise canceling and put ear plugs or the air plane ear buds underneath, you won't be able to hear anything.

Don’t Sleep On These
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound! These are so underrated. The Sony headphones are excellent without all of the flash. While they’re expensive, the investment in this product is more in sound and tech vs. the look. I’ve owned Beats and these are hands down much better than any headphones I’ve ever listened to.
