Very nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great pair of headphones. The Black Friday price was just right. I have the WH-10000XM3 but I was ready to move on. They feel great. Syncing to two devices is a big plus for me.

Maybe, Maybe Not!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's almost the same sound quality as the xm3 model. The features is not worth the upgrade if you have the xm3 model. The soundstage is narrow and the treble is lacking. I tried adjusting the sound from the Sony App equalizer and my cellphone, and I still can't seem to get the clarity I was hoping for. If noise cancelling is what you need this for, then this is top notch. My Sennheiser 599 which is 3 years old sounded a lot better. At least I still have until January if I want to keep this. I'll keep trying to see if the sound improves. I'll give this a thorough burn in time, otherwise it will go back.

What lies beneath.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are looking for simplicity defined, in a headphone, this is not it. The driver for this Sony product is the App, which is not only confusing to master, but difficult to understand. The controls are somewhat masked in their function and operation, as well. Swiping up, down, left and right on non-existing buttons is glitchy, at best. What buttons there are are not raised so one can't easily perform pairing operations without taking them off to see what you are doing - and what good is that. Sound quality and noise reduction is as advertised, however the caveat in bluetooth mode is the small print in the included instructions that warns you that an audio lag might be (WILL be) present upon connection to the source. This right there ruins it for me. For the price, given all the negatives, I would not recommend these. Returned the product.

Great noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using them for a week, and all I can say is that the sound quality is great and the noise canceling is the best (airpods pro are great but fall behind this headphones). The only con is that after some time they hurt the ears and cause sort of a headache. Check if they fit your ears, otherwise it could be a painful experience.

Quick Review
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are f@%k!ng amazing! I highly recommend this product. I was bummed that I had to take a break from 'em so they can charge. The Sony XM4 is (arguably) the ANC king (atm). Pick 'em up if you can.

Solid ANC Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great on these headphones, and then functions are fun to customize and easy to use. I really enjoyed having a wide range for how much noise cancelation I wanted to set the headphones at. The talk to stop music feature is a bit clunky, but overall these are comfortable to wear and great noise cancelling wireless headphones.
