Sound vs Distance
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In comparison to my B&W PX7 these are close in comfort and ease of use. The radio is stronger and goes about 10 feet further in a straight line and 3 to 5 feet side to side. The sound is not as deep and pronounced as the B&W's but for general use its good. So trade off sound or distance. B&W's material feels finer (Carbon) and controls a little easier.

Does a decent job cancelling noise
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this a couple of years ago to help deal with apartment noise while working from home. The noise cancelling does not provide absolute quiet but reduced the noise enough I could concentrate much better. It's music playing quality is decent.

Sony XM4 > Bose 700 > Apple AirPod Max
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried / tested all 3. These. Are. Superior. I fully realize that sound quality (and even ANC) can be subjective / matter of personal taste. However, I find it difficult to believe that anyone would rank these differently.

SONY “BEATS” the competition - Worth the $$$
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are going to spend the money on headphones, these are worth the money. There is no competition, they are better than Beats & Bose easily. Beats are extremely uncomfortable, these fit over the ear really well and can be worn all day.
