Best noise canceling on the market
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Previously owned the M3 version but my girlfriend started using them and didn’t want to give them back. Met her half way on the price and picked up the newer version M4 in blue for myself. Loved my M3’s and love my M4’s just as much. Highly recommended if you want some of the best sound and noise canceling available. You won’t be disappointed!

Posted .Hi PauloJ,
Thanks for sharing your experience. The Sony | Headphones Connect app is a free download and there is no purchase required to use the headphones. The app is an optional tool that provides additional customization and access to features that enhance the listening experience.
For your specific desire for better noise cancellation, the WH-1000XM6 is our latest model and offers a significant upgrade in noise-cancelling performance. It features a new processor and an improved microphone array, which are designed to more effectively block out a wider range of ambient sounds.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased as birthday gift for my son. I put them on at the store to try out the noise cancelling feature and was blown away with how incredibly quiet it was with them on! Especially compared to a busy loud store like Beat Buy. They are great quality craftsmanship and sound. Not one regret on this purchase!!

Winner over QC by far
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After trying out Bose QC this was an easy winner and in my opinion, xm4 beats QC everywhere except comfort. Everything including the trade-off was more than worth it. I highly recommend it.
