Quality over loudness

The crispy, smooth sounds controlled by the connection eq make these headphones great. Noise canceling could be a bit stronger, giving more volume. They lasted three days on full charge.

Excellent Noise Cancellation

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony headphones do not disappoint. They have excellent, rich sound with plenty of bass to make songs thump. They connect seamlessly through Bluetooth and offer extended control through the phone app. For the most part, the headphones are comfortable for wearing and have nice padding. But after a couple hours of wear the pinch force begins to hurt. Overall they are great headphones.

A travel must have!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first pair of noise-cancelling headphones. I didn't think that was really a thing until I was drying a load of laundry AND cooking with the fan on and didn't hear either. These are exactly what I need and wanted and more. I've never known that headphones could pair to multiple things at once and you could switch between devices seamlessly. The battery lasts a good amount of time and charging is simple. I will never travel without these.

Well made sound.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality. Solid bass and good battery life. But sometimes the headphones would kick me out of silent mode for ambience sound for the little sounds even when I set the settings not to.

Great for frequent flyers
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Id be the first one to say that these headphones are expensive. However they are worth the money for the sound quality and sound deadening alone. I have to travel a lot for work and these have been added as a must have when packing. When turned on you can barely hear the hum of the engine of the plane. Screaming baby, no problem with these headsets. Sitting next to a constant burper or someone that clears their throats; no worries the headphones got you. Ultimately these headphones are worth every cent.

Amazing headphone!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I listen to different genre and the default sounds sounded great. Once I made minor adjustment to the Eq, the headphone really comes alive. I have custom settings for certain genre that can easily be swipe through within the app. In the beginning, head headphone had a strong clamp to my ears but after a few hours of use, it seem to have broken in. I had these on for hours While working and they felt comfortable, but my ears did get hot because the suction really cover my ears. The anc is out of this world. I don’t turn on the volume to high, maybe 20-25%. My wife was talking to me but couldn’t hear anything coming out of her mouth. :) I turn of the speak to chat feature when I am outside jogging. It seems to pick up some noises and activate the feature. This thing stays on pretty good while jogging. I would recommend turning up the ambient noise so you can hear incoming vehicles. Overall, I am really satisfied.

No complaints here
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are amazing. I can't think of a negative thing to write about them. Sound quality is great. Comfort level is great. Battery use is great. I especially like the option that a 3.5mm audio cord can be used with this, not making it exclusively wireless

I love these headphonesss
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Genuinely my favorite thing I own. The sound quality is the greatest I’ve heard to date and as a audiophile I don’t have any complaints. Battery life is also insane and I’ve never had connection issues. Now the price is steep but my first pair lasted me 2 years of daily use with no issues until one of the ear swivels broke. Even then the audio still sounded as good as the first day I got them. I recommend these headphones to all of my friends, so if you do have the money to purchase them I say go for it. I don’t think you’ll regret it.

Simply the best
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I must admit the XM4 was a bit expensive, but wanted the best when it came to noise canceling headphones. I watched a lot of video reviews before finally making the purchase and yeah they were all correct with their high praise of the XM4. The headphones come in 3 colors. I bought the black model. The headphone is light in weight and fits comfortably on my head and ears. The noise canceling works great. This should help with reducing the engine noise during airplane flights. There are a lot of cool tech packed into this headphone. Being able to connect to 2 bluetooth devices at the same time and the amazing 360-reality sound are just a couple. If you are not in a hurry, I would wait until the headphones go on sale to buy the XM4 which from what I have read occurs frequently. The XM4 is simply the best noise canceling headphones.
