Best Noise Cancelling, Sound Quality, Comfortable
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best headphone I have ever tried on. I had used Bose, Studio Headset, and many more, but this one is super comfortable, has best noise cancelling feature, best sound quality. Likewise, you can connect to two devices (what more do you want :)). And of course, it has the long lasting battery. . So, this headphone truly deserves 5 star !!! If you have enough budget, go for it.

Great ANC, average sound,
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been a sennheiser fan for a very long time and have owned each momentum model (wired and wireless) and have tried many other brands of wireless and found few that match sennheiser. This review is about Sony, so I decided to try something different and ordered the XM4. They are great noise cancelling headphones, great features, very comfy and nice looking. I fired them up and was surprised at the lack of clarity, crispness and sound stage. I tried to eq them and they sounded a little better. So they impress me as great noise cancelling headphones that can sound OK and have solid build and great features. There are a safe bet if you fly a lot and need maximum ANC, but the Bose 700 offer equal ANC and sound much cleaner with nice bass. There is something magical about the sennheiser sound that makes you want to listen to music when you should be doing something else or asleep. I am an old guy but like good rap and the bass on the m3 is perfect, rock the same, the richness of the sound and the majestic sound stage are just a cut above any other ANC headphone I've listened too and I've tried them all. The Sony m4 is a excellent noise cancelling headphone with great features and comfortable fit for a fair price, but if you really like music, give the momentum 3 a spin, you won't be sorry because they will take you a happy place that will make you a more content person, I promise.

High quality noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones one of the best ones you can find in the market. I bought them for my upcoming international trip and wanted headphones that have good noise canceling feature. They performed better than I anticipated, my trip was over 16 hours and headphones battery lasted way longer than this, engines noise was barely audible. I was able to wear them for most of the flight without any ears discomfort. In the past I purchased Beats Pro but in less than an hour my ears were hurting from wearing them.

Excellent headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise canceling. Able to connect to multiple devices at the same time. Great sound. Comfortable to where for extended hrs. Long battery life. Able to be used wired or over Bluetooth. Only notable complaint is it feeling a little more like its made out of plastic, giving a cheaper feel when compared to previous models as they are very lightweight. They have been well worth it so far

||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it. Feels comfortable, lightweight, best in class audio. I personally don’t think noise cancellation is top tier, I also have AirPods Pro 2gen and it better noise cancellation, but other than that they’re amazing.

Nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound and very comfortable. My only issue is that when you press the power button when the headphones are on it is supposed to tell you how much battery life is left but it always says battery is fully charged even when that is not the case.

Super comfortable and great sound quality!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the look and feel of these headphones. They are super comfortable. The sound quality is also top notch. I love the feature that detects your voice and pauses what you're listening to and the noise cancellation so you can talk to someone and hear what they're saying. The fact that there's an even newer model is crazy. The price point made this model so worth it and it's still so good. I only have two complaints, and they're totally minor. I know at least one of them is fixed with the newer model, which is that I don't like how they're stored. You awkwardly have to twist one side completely and the other bend at an awkward angle to fit in the case, it's judt a strange way to fit the headphones into the case. My only other complaint is that sometimes the bluetooth connection isn't great and the sound will be static-y. All I have to do is disconnect bluetooth and reconnect and it's fixed. Both minor annoyances that still made the cheaper price for the older model 100% worth it.

Great sound and value for price
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did a lot of research before buying the xm4’s. Really like the sound quality and adaptive sound. Very comfortable for wearing on long haul flights. Plus a battery that lasts there and back. They do make my ears sweaty after a while. All in all like these better than Apple AirPod Max, Bose or Beats.
