XM4 > any other headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are way better than AirPods Pro, Beats Studio and AirPods Max are too overrated and overpriced. Offers better sound quality and headphone itself from all of those including XM5, not really worth upgrading to the new ones plus you save $50. Not much of a difference XM5 from XM4, also XM5 feel cheaper quality. Just buy these.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is great and they're so comfortable. I've had them for almost two years now, and with heavy usage they have great build quality and show almost no wear. Only issue I have ever noticed is an issue pairing them with Samsung TVs, but this may be Samsung's problem.

WH-1000XM4 v. QC-35II
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was between these and the Bose QC-35II's but after doing a side by side comparison of the two (using friends pairs of each) ended up going with the Sony WH-1000XM4's...especially since I snagged them when they were on sale, which I have to say after a month of use, I definitely would pick these over the Bose even at their regular price (~$30 more than the Bose). Quality built, exceptional sound, battery lasts forever and super easy to use.

Great upgrade to my old QC 15 headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went back and forth between these and the Bose 700 headphones. I am really glad I bought the Sony Headphones. These headphones are very light and comfortable to wear over long periods of time. The noise cancelling is superb. I love the feature where the music and noise cancelling will stop and ambient noise is increased when I begin speaking. very easy to pair with various devices.

Comfortable and great noise cancelation headphone
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the fit of it on my head, very comfortable and not that heavy. I slept in the plane wearing it and no problem. And the cancellation is the best even if it’s turned off you can only hear a muffled-like noise. The battery lasts longer than I thought.

Headphones Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to pair with my tv, and very easy to charge when I am done using them. The only complaint I have is the volume adjustment is awkwardly positioned, it is too easy to toggle the channel switch for the base unit. The sound quality is good and the headphones are comfortable.

World Class Audio Quality and Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality and noise canceling feature is absolutely fantastic! Has nice features to integrate with apps on your mobile devices to adjust the headphone settings, including acoustical options. Very comfortable to wear for extended periods. Love this color of blue. I have not tried all of its competitors out, but multiple reviews rate these the best noise cancelling headphones in the world (compared to any brand and price point). Love them!

When it fails...
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had these since 2020 and they have worked great for the most part. There are 2 things that are VERY bad about these, 1 from the start and the other just started happening. From the very start I have not been a fan of the fact that you can only pair these to 1 device. Technically 2 but since you need to use an app to control them 1 device will be your phone. The other thing is that when it fails it will deafen you in 1 ear. The incredibly loud (able to be heard from the second floor of my home while I was in the basement) will cause AT LEAST considerable short term pain in 1 ear. I had them on when the issue happened and it was easily the loudest, sharpest and most painful sound I have heard. For comparison, I was in the Navy and worked on the flight deck of a carrier (IYAOYAS) and this was much worse than anything I experienced there. Having said all that, the sound quality was very good and the noise cancelling really did eliminated things like the PC fan noise from my system and the heating/AC noise. The bass is good as well and I feel the build quality is equally decent. The battery life lasted all day with constant use and the time to charge is very short. The range was good and I was able to move through a 1200 SQFT 2 story home while remaining connected to a PC in the basement with no issues. I would have given 4 stars if they had not tried to murder 1 ear.

The Greatest Headphones ever created
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I honestly didn't know what to expect with the m4s. The last set of Sony headphones I had were the XB 950N1s. My older Sony headphones had lots of bass but the mid-range and vocals and highs were absolutely terrible. The enforce have blown my N1's out of the water! These are probably the best sounding headphones I've ever owned. They are also second to none for noise canceling. I would definitely recommend these doing one looking for a great set of headphones.
