Great sounding fold up and comfy
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound! I love that they fold up unlike some of the competitors. I got these instead of the xm5s because they were on sale and my kids have them and said that these are just as good as the 5s

Epic - best NC headphones for the price by far
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried many different brands and price levels of noise canceling headphones, and these stood out above the rest. Have been using for 2 months now and they are a joy to use. Great sound quality and superior noise canceling technology (far better than any others under $300). Any features you don’t like can be easily adjusted through the phone app - eg. Ambient sound control, pausing when talking etc. and you can create different modes depending on what you’re doing - working out vs. when you’re at the office expecting to chat to people

Sony XM4 Headphones- Great Quality
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've never owned noise-cancelling headphones before, but I researched various Sony and Bose headphones prior to making a purchase. The Sony XM4 headphones simply have the best noise-cancellation on the market. It's a great pair of headphones for students who easily get distracted by noisy environments. My only complaint is that Sony needs to improve on it's pairing of multiple devices with the headphones. When I am connected to my phone and laptop simultaneously, there is an occasional dinging noise. I still have no idea why, but if you disconnect from your phone, the dinging will stop.

Posted .Hi Lauren,
We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are hearing a noise when using the multipoint function. This isn't normally the case with these headphones. Make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve the issue:
