Hands down the best headphone on the market
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far, the best headphone on the market for it price range. Sony need to do more promotions for these headphone. Because the only reason I even known about these headphone is because it was compare to the new Apple headphone. Bose is good but it’s price range??? You better off buying two xm3. Xm3 is also good, this is better with the noise canceling and the headphone last a long time, it been 2 weeks now and it didn’t have to charge it yet.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds good, battery lasts all day. The battery doesn't seem quite as good as advertised, but I often have them on 12+ hours a day and never have to charge them before bed. Noise cancelling is crazy good. I've had these for about 6 months and there are no signs of wear - build quality seems sturdy. I do wish you could have them on and charging at the same time for when the battery inevitably deteriorates.

Excellent noise canceling and super comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid headset. Great sound and the noise canceling is among the best I've used (compared to Bose and Sennheiser). Very comfortable and the fit sits right outside my ears. Pads can get a little sweaty during extended use, but that's a given with pleather pads. Love that the earcups fold down to sit flat. Build quality feels light, but sturdy if that's possible. USB-C charging is fast! Works well wired to a USB-C DAC for my iPad Pro, too!

Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these headphone for the gym and they’re the best. I love they’re long lasting battery. It takes a lot of movement for the headphones to fall off. They’re great and I definitely recommend these headphones if your trying to go the gym or even gaming.

Almost perfect with some quirks
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What's great: Very comfortable to wear. Solid construction. Good sound. Noise cancelling is very good. Sound quality seems also very good. Folds neatly into a small carrying case. Cool color (midnight blue) Needs improvement: This is my personal preference but volume control, swiping up on right cup feels awkward. Forward and backward feels natural. Adaptive sound control didn't work well for me. When I tried it, it kept changing mode every 30 seconds or so. I just turned it off. Overall, I really like it. Even more so when I got money back because price dropped within 2 weeks of purchase

Fantastic Bluetooth headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned Stax, Sennheiser, and Bose headphones. These Sony wireless Bluetooth headphones are by far the best. They sound fantastic and are extremely comfortable. You can wear them for hours and not know they are there. Noise reduction works great and the right earphone can control volume and song selection. The other day I cut the grass wearing these phones and could not hear the mower. I could have cut another yard or two.

Not bad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not bad headphones, sound quality is excellent for a non-audiophile. Noise cancellation works a charm, I can usually wear these for a couple of hours before I need to rest my ears. They sit a little tight on my head even with adjustment, but it’s not unbearable. Bluetooth is quick and easy to connect. Included case is rigid, do not over-torque the headphones when putting away in the case, I feel like it could be an easy failure point. Overall not bad. If you see them on sale I’d recommend picking them up.

Awesome, but too big
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound on these as well as comfort is 10/10, so great. However, I tend to have a big head, seriously, and these are still too loose even on the tightest setting. So I cannot wear them out and about to to do much movement which hugely takes away from why I bought them.

Pricey, but worth every penny !!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried the 1000xm3 and thought they were great. These are an improvement on an already awesome product. Haven't tested battery life, but i haven't had to charge them since i fully charged them last. The sound quality is amazing, noise cancelling is top notch!( I tried the bose 700's as well. Nice, but not as good as Sony.) I see why they call it industry leading! Haven't been this impressed with headphones for a long time!! Definitely wirth every penny!!

Better than the Bose QC35 II
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced a pair of Bose QC35 IIs with these headphones, and I would say that while the Bose headphones are very good, the XM4 is superior in nearly every respect, with regard to ANC effectiveness, sound quality, bass. I'm a little annoyed, with long hair, with the double-tap to pause feature though, it takes a few tries to get right sometimes, and I miss having an actual button for that like with the QC35 IIs

Great sound and quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wife and I share office space so I needed some quality NC headphones. I was looking at another brand until the associate told me to listen to these before I made my decision. So glad I listened to his advice. Have to add that I have Cauliflower ear and most cheap over the ear brands kill my ears after a few minutes. Not the case with these, I sometimes forget that I have them on.

Some of the best over the ear at headphones
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for my daughter for over the year headphones she had an older pair that finally went out. She had them for years. We replaced them with these because she researched all the Sony headphones and these among the best after she got them, she absolutely fell in love with them and uses them constantly
