Too big for my head and very heavy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sounded great. But I had to return them because I am a woman (pretty normal size) and they didn't adjust to be small enough to fit my ears, so they pressed on my ears at the top and made them sore after only about 3 minutes of wear. They were also way too loose to use for the gym.

Rock solid noise cancelling and sound, but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.XM4 has amazing sound and its noise cancelling ability is unparalleled (I own bose 700 (weaker in sound) and B&W PX7 (weaker in noise cancelling)). The Sony iphone app also has a build-in equalizer. I bought this because of the ability to connect to two devices at once. This feature is a little buggy but I manage to get it to work with an iphone and ipad.

Sony done good!!
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds quality is great. Noise cancelling is also very good. Touch volume adjustments on the outer right earpiece are a little touchy. Volume level doesn’t get quite as loud as I would personally like, but at least it is distortion free. One of my favorite purchases nonetheless!

Xm3, but 30% better
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really recommend reading xm3 reviews and decide: If you would pay 350 for the xm3 even thought those are cheaper, then totally buy the xm4. Xm4: - More comfortable - Usage detection - Like 5% better ANC - Speak to deactivate ANC - Better microphone - Connect to two bluetooth devices

Posted .Hi Reviewer2018,
We're glad that you like the sound quality, battery life, comfort, and noise canceling function of the headphones. Your feedback about the multipoint function is greatly appreciated. Depending on the device, silent streaming can continue on the first device when the second device has a Bluetooth connection to the headphones. If this is the case, the headphones remain connected to the first device, and the audio doesn't switch to the second device.
Follow these steps to hear sound from the second device:
1. Open the Sony | Headphones Connect app, select the System tab, and make sure the Connect to 2 devices simultaneously option is set to ON.
2. Stop playback on the first connected device.
3. Close the audio (music) application on the first connected device.

Sound good, and comfortable.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound good to me - they sound even better without the noise cancelling software enabled. Have used mostly via 3.5mm headphone connector. The bluetooth works fine, but the Sony Android app kind of sucks.
