Great Headphone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.have watched a lot of reviewing videos of comparing the xm4 and AirPods max. And finally, decided to buy this one. The weight is a major concern, I always ware a headphone for over 8 hours a day for meeting/music. I don't think I could do this with an AirPods max. I know the sound quality of AirPods max is better than xm4, but I don't think it's a huge difference, xm4 has already met my expectation. anyway, I would recommend this product, especially when I saw airpods max is cost $550.

Absolutely Superb
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of headphones. I was debating between these and the Bose QC45s. After scouring the internet reading reviews, I decided on these because of the ANC, the looks, and the touch capabilities. I have not been disappointed. I love the design, the feel, and all the bells and whistles. The app on the phone also offers way more control than the Bose app. You will not regret buying these over the Bose until Bose releases their next model.

Absolutely unreal
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling alone just when you put them on your head while powered off is amazing. Turned on? Oh my goodness. Fired up the "Blade Runner" vinyl and quickly had my mind blown. The Sony Headphones app is great and easily allows you to connect to devices, update firmware, EQ and more. I would give this an extra star if I could.

Excellent all around
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of headphones. I had the originals and decided to upgrade to the Mk 4s. The noise cancellation is amazing. I can sit right next to a window air conditioner and hear nothing but silence. Sound quality is very good in most aspects. The bass is a little heavy at low volume and a little light at very high volumes, but overall it's still pleasing. The speak to talk feature is clever. And the ability to focus on voices and filter out other sounds works better than I expected. All in all, I'm pleased.

A Worthy Investment!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones! I use it to listen to music primarily when im winding down before bed. It pairs really fast and I really like how you can fine tune and adjust sound settings. The case is great too as it is durable and folds neatly inside the case. Perfect for travel too as it blocks out the outside noise with the noise cancelling feature. Uses USB-C charging which works great if you are an Apple user. These headphones are expensive but think of it as a worthy investment!

A trump can Interrupt your listening.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Superb headphones that enhance audio quality to amazing levels. Watching a movie in these things is a delight. My one peeve is they are super sensitive to external noise, meaning they will automatically pause and shut off if you so much as cough, sneeze or say hi to your pet. I farted watching Top Gun and it paused the whole movie.

Love these
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these on sale for a great deal.. Amazing sound quality. My TV wouldn't turn up the volume high enough for my liking so I use an aux chord to my controller. I use the dolby atmos app on my Xbox and it really brought these headphones to life. It makes games and movies sound much more full and dynamic. Using them on my phone is flawless. Music sounds fantastic and podcast sound rich. The app is easy to use and I like that you can adjust the eq settings. The noise canceling works great too!

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using the first generation MDR-1000X for nearly 4 years. It's finally the time to upgrade! The Mark 4 has excellent sound quality and NC capabilities. I love the multi-point function, which solved a long-standing pain point for the 1000X series and is perfect for working from home.
