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.

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.

Sony vs. Bose
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price point, I am happy with my purchase. I read a lot of reviews between these Sony and the Bose, and because I am an Android user, I chose the Sony. The battery life is great, the noise cancelling is decent, and the sound is good. I don't think these are as crisp and clean as the Bose brand, but I am happy with the overall product. I would recommend the Sony headphones.

These are a little better, and I'll take what I can get. Great sound, and really good noise cancelling. fits very nicely If only I could stop the music while listening!

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.
