Sound really good but possible glitch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound pretty good but once I power up the headphones, the volume starts at around 75% up even tho I never leave or even use them at this volume level. Took back first pair because of this and the replacement did the same thing. So if they’re all like this, be careful when first turning on music after powering on headphones. Not sure is these split seconds of high volumes will damage headphones. Turning down the volume all the way after powering on doesn’t fix issue either. As soon as I first press play after powering on, that’s when the volume is way too high. And unfortunately, I have to press play in order to lower the volume.

Best pair of over the ear wireless headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is probably one of my best purchases this year. As a musician and producer, I have to give credit to Sony on this pair of headphones. The sound is phenomenal and the noise canceling works great. The frequency response is great and I like the app you can adjust specific frequencies if you want to change how they sound. The battery life is super great. It was worth it.

Incredible comfort and sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the previous version which my wife quickly took ownership of. As soon as the XM4s released I knew I’d be grabbing a pair. It’s had to improve on perfection, but Sony somehow has. Sound is incredible, extremely comfortable for long listening sessions, and the gestures to navigate songs is intuitive. Hands down worth the money, especially when you can grab them on sale.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The XM4's fit my head and ears better than most of the other over-the-ear headphones I've tried including the XM5's. YMMV with fit but the sound quality is also superb.

Great set of active noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable for extended use. Larger than average sized head and felt great during 11 hour flight. Noise cancellation works well and sound quality is excellent. Sony’s version of Apple’s transparency mode doesn’t work quite as well, but at nearly half the cost I see no reason to splurge for the AirPod Max headphones over these.
