Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these as a replacement for my Sony XM2 headphones, but they fell way short of that benchmark. I bought the XM2 version probably 5 years ago, and they completely changed my relationship with music and headphones. They are on at least 2 hours a day. I thought I'd never buy anything other than sony after that, those headphones are still as good as they were when i got them (I mostly upgraded so i could give them to my daughter, and I just wanted a nice new set). The sound from them is absolutely perfect, and every note comes through. The XM4s aren't complete garbage to be fair, they're just not good enough to replace what Sony was making 5 years ago (or whenever the XM2s were put out). These felt cheap, were uncomfortable, and subtle elements from some of my favorite music just wasn't coming through. I returned them after a week. I genuinely loved my XM2 headphones, and was sad to have to find a different solution outside of Sony.

Get These for Amazing Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound Quality- 8/10 I'm a bit of an audiophile and I have plenty of cans that sound much better than these. However, with the included EQ you can get pretty good sound from these with a little tweaking. Noise Cancelling- 10/10 With a newborn and a toddler, working from home has been quite a challenge. This noise cancelling is so good sometimes I just have them on with no sound playing just so I can experience quiet while I work. It's incredible.

Love these!!!!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So good I bought a 2nd pair because they were on sale which is rare. These offer fantastic sound and clarity without being plugged in. I have the bose Q35 wireless that I also like more for ANC but the audio is better with the XM-4's IMO. THe ANC is better with the Bose but these get the job done. If I were going on a plane I would take the Bose. If I wanted music I go for the sony and not plug it in because they are that good.

Posted .Hi Daniel,
Wow! We're glad you like the great sound, clarity and wireless connection of your new XM4 headphones. 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. If the noise canceling function is not sufficient. 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.

Just as good as the MX5s
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely top-tier headphones, the software for it is amazing but you don't even need it to get great sound. They perform just as well as the MX-5s for the most part, but appear more reliable from what I've heard.

Game changer!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sound great, but the active noise canceling is where it's really at. Working from home, my family is VERY loud and often breaks my concentration. These resolve that. Add to the fact that I can have them synched to my computer AND phone at the same time and that means I can stay in my little bubble as long as I want free of interruption. The must have accessory for working at home during these strange times.
