Great wireless headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I owned the WH-1000XM3's and loved them. Great sound, flawless pairing on two devices, and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. My only complaint was an intermittent, faint static sound that only was noticable between songs. The XM4's sound even better with no static sound. You won't be diappointed.

better than apple airpod max
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these and the apple airpods max. Price wasnt really a factor from me. I just need something confortable that will cancel noise effectively. These are much more confortable for long coding sessions compared to the apple product. And half the price! They get a bit warm, but all closed back headphones do. Not much that can be done there. love the portability and carry case

10/10 Exquisite Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable, stylish, and audio quality is fantastic. The microphone isn't as great - when on a call you can hear the other line perfect but when you speak the caller has difficultly hearing you. Fabric around headband is delicate so take care not to drop or scratch. Overall excellent headphones and super comfortable!

Great Sound even on PC
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this headset! I use it for just about everything. I bought it for work from home. I wear them for hours a day and they are very light and extremely comfortable! The sound is also pretty great for closed back headphones. I ended up buying the FiiO BTA30 as well to connect them to my PC and get true LDAC. I highly suggest picking up both if you want the best quality audio from your PC.

Awesome for everything, except phone calls
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome headphones. I am happy with the sound quality, comfort, and the improvement from XM3 like dual device connection, improved app, etc. The only issue i have is that the mic for phone calls still makes my phone sound muted or robotic, not as much as XM3 but still quite noticeable difference compared to Bose 700 I'm keeping it and will dial in to my conference calls on my phone as PC's bluetooth driver sucks big time.

Great for Entertainment & Work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since working from home I needed a good pair of truly wireless headphones or earbuds to use. These new Sony headphones is efficient when listening through your computer and answering calls from your phone without the hassle. During a call, your music is paused from your computer and resumes after finishing a call. Simple as that. Also the comfort is a plus, along with the noise cancellation.

'ear is sheer happiness
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I exchanged the newer, more expensive XM5 headphones for these XM4. The XM4 is much more compact in that it folds up tightly and fits into a smaller, more transportable case than its newer sibling. The noise cancellation is fantastic and I often cannot hear my wife when she is calling to me. Fit is of course very subjective. I do not have a huge head, and I wear glasses. The headphones seal well and physically isolate sound to augment the noise cancellation. I even tried them while mowing the lawn and they successfully muted mower engine roar while I listened to tunes. They do feel a bit tight after a while but that's why adjusting them when removing them from the case is so important. I adjust the sound profile in the Headphones app to deemphasize the bass and the sound works well for me. Attack and frequency response seems good on music and speech adding both intelligibility and nuance to movies, music, and speech. I am no audiphile but I can recognize good headphones and these are absolutely perfect for me.
