||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a long flight out of the state and these headphones were very comfortable throughout the whole flight. Along with comfort the noise-canceling is grade A. I recommend these headphones to anyone needing a good mix of tech quality meeting comfort.

Great Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable, great bass. Was worried at first because the noise cancellation made me feel like I needed to pop my ears but that went away after about 4 hours of use. No problems now. Ordered online and was behind counter for me the next morning. 10/10

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, this is a great product. I love the ability to be able to simultaneously connect with two bluetooth devices without having to disconnect from one of them. The sound quality, and noise cancelling is superb. There are more features than I really use, but these headphones are exceptionally capable, and easy to use. I don't think they're quite as comfortable as the prior generation (which I also use), the cushion around the ear isn't quite as soft... but some people may like it a little more firm. But that doesn't mean that they're uncomfortable, just not quite a cozy as the XM3. For the money, they're great.

Good sound quality & Noise cancelation
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to pair with good sound, battery life & better bass than previous sony xm3. New feature is ability to "auto hear" when mic detects someone talking to you, but I didn't care for that option personally. Must use touch controls to change volume, track, answer. Some people will not like that, but the device looks better without buttons.

Amazing Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These things are great! The active noise cancelation is top notch. They are really comfortable too. I can wear them for 8 hours at a time without any problem. And the built in equalizer is awesome. I like my music with a lot of base and this allows you to customize that. And the headphones don't disappoint when it comes to sound quality. They give good, deep bass, and nice, clear vocals.

Previous seemed better.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only 4 stars cause the headband isn't as tight as the previous model. Also, the passive noise reduction is not as good as previous model. I can hear more mid-frequencies coming through the headphones on this model. When I implement the auto-ambient control function I have to tap on the headphones to get the highest amount of noise cancelation from it. Despite what all the online frequency graphs are showing, this version is not as good at canceling higher mid frequencies than the previous version. Could have something to do with the hole for the sensor on the left ear. Don't really need that. I plugged it up, and disabled all the useless onheadphone-controls and keep it wired only. Wish they'd make a wired version, minimal controls, and Wired-only, with superior noise canceling for all frequencies especially ghetto-bass you hear from those stupid lowriders. or Jacked up funky mobiles with loud boom boxes.

Posted .Hi PeterHugh,
We appreciate your in-depth review of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are not having a complete experience because of the design and noise canceling function.
Make sure to adjust the headband of the headphones to achieve the best fit and comfort.
For optimum performance, make sure that the software version is updated. The noise canceling function is effective in low-frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. Check that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned off. Check the setting of the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. When the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on, the noise canceling function may become insufficient. Hope this helps.
Your feedback about wired headphones with the same Noise Canceling features is greatly appreciated. Thanks again for sharing your review and for choosing Sony!

Love these headphones!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the original XM1 (I think that is what they were called) and I returned them because I did not find them comfortable and for the price ($350) was not worth keeping. Flash forward a few years and I am a believer! Very comfortable, even for hours on end, sound is great and can now switch between 2 devices. I highly recommend this and since they are (were) on a Black Friday deal @ $298 it is a great deal.

Perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these for my husband with a new Sony TV. He is a little hard of hearing and has to put the TV up loud. He is also bothered by background noise. I wasn't sure he would like them or use them. HE LOVES them! Hardly takes them off! They are comfortable, block the background noise and he can hear the TV with no trouble. He can easily turn off the noise cancelling to have a conversation. Set up was easy,

Worth it!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these over the new ones. If you prefer on the sound quality side such as bass etc this is it. But if you are looking for noise cancellation might need to reconsider it. I would compare the sound system and noise cancellation as the AirPods Pro gen 2. Battery life is amazing, If you was to ask me, these would last me a good 2 weeks. Give it a try if you don’t like it you can always return it with the 7-30 days policy.
