Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds good, battery lasts all day. The battery doesn't seem quite as good as advertised, but I often have them on 12+ hours a day and never have to charge them before bed. Noise cancelling is crazy good. I've had these for about 6 months and there are no signs of wear - build quality seems sturdy. I do wish you could have them on and charging at the same time for when the battery inevitably deteriorates.

The sound quality is insane
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You would think for a pair of headphones that is over three years old that they would sound as if they would be falling off in sound quality . But that’s where you would be wrong they still hold up to be some of the best sounding headphones to date. Also, I know people don’t like to download apps for a lot of things, But the app that works with this pair of headphones Is worth it because of all the features that it holds you can have a custom EQ you can tweak different options in there. The pass-through is really nice as well. There’s a lot of great features.

Fantastic Bluetooth headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned Stax, Sennheiser, and Bose headphones. These Sony wireless Bluetooth headphones are by far the best. They sound fantastic and are extremely comfortable. You can wear them for hours and not know they are there. Noise reduction works great and the right earphone can control volume and song selection. The other day I cut the grass wearing these phones and could not hear the mower. I could have cut another yard or two.

Pricey, but worth every penny !!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried the 1000xm3 and thought they were great. These are an improvement on an already awesome product. Haven't tested battery life, but i haven't had to charge them since i fully charged them last. The sound quality is amazing, noise cancelling is top notch!( I tried the bose 700's as well. Nice, but not as good as Sony.) I see why they call it industry leading! Haven't been this impressed with headphones for a long time!! Definitely wirth every penny!!

Almost perfect with some quirks
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What's great: Very comfortable to wear. Solid construction. Good sound. Noise cancelling is very good. Sound quality seems also very good. Folds neatly into a small carrying case. Cool color (midnight blue) Needs improvement: This is my personal preference but volume control, swiping up on right cup feels awkward. Forward and backward feels natural. Adaptive sound control didn't work well for me. When I tried it, it kept changing mode every 30 seconds or so. I just turned it off. Overall, I really like it. Even more so when I got money back because price dropped within 2 weeks of purchase

Incredible Sound and Battery Life
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is crisp, clear, and perfectly balanced. The bass has a pleasant, deep thump without being overpowering or muddy, and the vocals come through crystal clear. Whether I'm listening to podcasts, rock, or classical music, everything sounds rich and enjoyable.

Better than the Bose QC35 II
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced a pair of Bose QC35 IIs with these headphones, and I would say that while the Bose headphones are very good, the XM4 is superior in nearly every respect, with regard to ANC effectiveness, sound quality, bass. I'm a little annoyed, with long hair, with the double-tap to pause feature though, it takes a few tries to get right sometimes, and I miss having an actual button for that like with the QC35 IIs

Great sound and quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wife and I share office space so I needed some quality NC headphones. I was looking at another brand until the associate told me to listen to these before I made my decision. So glad I listened to his advice. Have to add that I have Cauliflower ear and most cheap over the ear brands kill my ears after a few minutes. Not the case with these, I sometimes forget that I have them on.
