||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried / tested all 3. These. Are. Superior. I fully realize that sound quality (and even ANC) can be subjective / matter of personal taste. However, I find it difficult to believe that anyone would rank these differently.

Great headphones for couples, buy two pair!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very clear sound and noise-cancelling is excellent. I highly recommend those headphones. My wife actually bought a second pair for herself, now she can practice piano using her pair and I don't have to hear her singing while wearing my pair!

Sony Quality as Expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My only complaint is the voice activation shuts off the headphones momentarily. Also if you cough or clear your throat. It can be frustrating. I have utilized them for watching TV, music and Video watching. They are comfortable and do not get hot too quickly. I would purchase them again and recommend them to a friend.

Posted .Hi Backwoodscommuter, thanks for sharing your feedback. While we are glad that you like the quality we are sorry that the voice activation shuts off the headphones. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. You can turn on/off the voice guidance.
To turn the voice guidance on/off, please install the Sony | Headphones Connect app on your smartphone. Select [Notification & Voice Guide] from the Dashboard to set the notification and voice guidance to be heard from the headphones.

Perfect headphones for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had a lot of headphones. Sony, Bose, KEF, Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, B&O, Klipsch. Some wireless, some wired, some with noise-cancellation, some without. Open-back, close-back - like I said, a lot of headphones. Day-to-day usage, I've been using AirPods since December 2016, and then AirPods Pro in November 2019. Been using those as they're insanely convenient and sound good for what I use them for. The Sony XM4 is by far the best set I've ever used. Incredibly comfortable, fantastic sound, decent but not overbearing bass, a comfortable soundstage, and the best noise cancelling I've ever had. The trade off that is losing Apple's convenience factor and Spatial Audio is more than made up for with just how great these sound. Bonus points for 3D Audio (if you can find it) and the customizable EQ.
