Customer Ratings & Reviews

These were a gift from my spouse, and they are amazing. They cancel out any noise. When I am busy cleaning, I play music and when I speak the music automatically stops and the noise cancelling changes. I just need to tap on the right side of the headphones for the music to start again or wait until the outside noise stops and it will start again on its own. This is a great feature because my hands may be covered in cleaning materials, and I do not wish to touch my headphones but want my music to continue playing when I am done talking. The battery seems like it last forever and the headphones are very comfortable.

Oh my goodness, where do I begin? Pros: Definitely is noise cancelling. I finally found one where I can truly drown out the noise. Really good sound/bass Comfortable on the ears I can enjoy doing my choirs with greatness again. Cons: I haven't fully mastered all the amazing features.

5/5 for these headphones. I had spent $50, $100, and $150 on three different headphones trying to save money on headphones that have noise cancellation and it ended up being a waste of money. None were that good at noise cancellation (including one refurbished Bose comfort set). I decided to just invest in more expensive ones and read the great reviews of this one. This one is the winner for sure! They look good, they sound good, they are comfortable, and they seem like they will last me forever. Best Buy was also super fast in getting these to me (I ordered these at night and literally had them on my head by the next morning).

I love the ANC capability of these headphones. I've had the XM-2s for the last 6 years or so and they were still going strong. The only reason I upgraded was because of the sale and ease of charging (they were my only device that was still on the old USB type). I gifted those to a friend and changed over to these. Battery life is still excellent, comfort can't be beat, and I still can't hear babies crying on an airplane with only needing to turn the volume up to below midpoint. These are my ideal headphones and I will sweat by them over other brands, having tried beats and Bose before and just not being as satisfied.

I recently bought a new one for my boyfriend and it is amazing. I’ve had one for myself for over 3 years and it still works amazing. The quality of the audio and the battery life is beyond enough. I recommend this for students and for those who go to the gym to feel like they are in their own world.

Honestly, this product is amazing! The quality is excellent, and the materials used are clearly top-notch. The design is both practical and stylish. Using it has been a smooth and comfortable experience, and I think the price is fair for the value it offers. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a product that exceeds expectations

Great sounding headphones with long battery life! Very comfortable.

I am not an audio tech. All I know is, they are comfortable for me, wearing them for most of two 15 hour flights, and the depth and clarity of sound is wonderful. Great around the house too. For the trips, the battery lasted my guess about 20-25 hours. Disconnected a few times with head movement.

As a medical student who was studying for the most important board exams of my life, I had to move back to New York for my rotations. That meant noise from vehicles, and since I lived under a family, brothers sharing their love for each other with their fists - as all brothers do. Now, I did not want to be rude and constantly ask for them to keep their children quiet, so I tried these headphones out to block out the noise. The only thing that could annoy me was my own heartbeat now. These headphones: 1. Are comfortable so I can wear them forever. 2. Charge very quickly for 30 hours of uptime! Even a quick 10 min charge lasted me the night if I forgot to charge them in advance. 3. So versatile, since the Sony app allows you to keep the firmware up to date, and unlocks more features to customize gestures of your headphones, your equalizer, and how much noise cancelling you need. The con? Taking a call isn't so bad, but it's definitely NOT the best quality, which is fine because I played with both the Bose 700 and these headphones and let me tell you that the musician in me was so happy with the beautiful and crisp sounds of the mid-range frequencies that are often discarded for your hearing pleasure. These headphones are definitely worth the buy, you will NOT be disappointed.

Not an audiophile by an any means, but the sound quality in my opinion is so nice! Comfort wise, I would say the band on top gets a little uncomfy after around an hour of wear.. I don’t tend to wear them for too long, but it would be something to consider if that relates to you. No worries regarding battery life, it holds up far longer than what’s expected in my opinion. Overall really nice, would recommend!

Best ANC and sound quality I have ever experienced. I literally started hearing parts of songs I had never heard before. Battery life is outstanding and they're very comfortable for extended wear. Touch controls are very intuitive. They're definitely on the expensive side, but if you can manage to snag them on sale, I would definitely recommend.

Let me start by saying, this is my first pair of OTE headphones, and I can now say I have zero reasons to go back to earbuds ever again. ANC is superb, they hold a charge for days. Calls are clear, interactions with digital assistant features are near flawless. At the discounted price point, these are amongst the best value upper - middle tier options one could hope for

Everything about these headphones is stellar. Battery life, noise cancellation, comfort, style. I use them when traveling the most, especially when flying and they’ve not only lived up to the 20-hour battery life after 6 months of frequent use, but the noise cancellation makes it trivial to fall asleep, even during take off! I use an iPhone and, while AirPods have the best user interface in my opinion, I have no qualms with the way these headphones work. I think the only place they’re somewhat lacking is with the all plastic design, but it gets the job done.

Its definitely worth buy, i already have Bose 700 , and it does pretty good job on NC but music signature is pretty normal and lacking Bass. Pros of Sony - Excellent NC - Switching Ambient Control based on Status - 360 Reality Audio is excellent. - Music is really balanced. - Has EQ to adjust music based on signature - Very good battery life compared to Bose - Cushion Ear cup are pretty comfortable and soft - Bluetooth connection seamless between iphone or Sony Music Connect App - Also it comes with stat where you can see your headphone usage - Touch sensor are good but could be better - You can adjust ambient noise just covering Right Ear cup while speaking, it will then allow noises in , reduces music sound Cons - Noise Cancelations is pretty Good but Outside I think Bose is better with little more points. But I would say 100 NC is not also advisable during transit. - Touch sensor is responsive but could be more efficient Overall I would give 8.5/10 based on Build , Music Quality features, NC Bose 700 - 7/10

Comfortable and not heavy like AirPod max headphones also great battery life and noise control. Love them

Absolutely the best ANC headphones you can get. I use these everyday and charge only twice a week. I commute by train everyday on the NYC subway and it’s very noisy but with these headphones when ANC kicks in it takes all the noise away and I’m in my own little world enjoying my music as I sit for my stop. Extremely comfortable headphones and have worn them for 3 hours straight without any ear pain. Yes if the weather is warm they will head your ears up and cause sweat. Be careful using these outside in the rain. They don’t react well to water. As they should since they are not water proof.... There are firmware updates once in a while and I believe the app may be set by default to grab them automatically if connected to wifi. App is also great just wish they didn’t remove the sound simulator that was in the app for the XM3. I bought the black and midnight blue color for my wife. Honestly they look the same. The midnight blue is very close to black. I should have bought the silver instead. No big deal though. Please be warn that if you have an apple device you will only be able to use AAC codec not LDAC. Also the bass response is clean and can further be adjusted via EQ on App.

These are not my daily headphones but they are indispensable when I really need quiet and relief from the chaos that can be present in public places like airports and airplanes. On any flight, I actually feel less stressed and less tired after wearing my XM4's. They drown out the noise so effectively that it's almost like stepping into an isolation booth. My daughter borrows them when preparing for competitions so I gave her mine and bought a second pair. I considered the newer versions but I've been so happy with these that I didn't want to change anything. Highly recommended! Places used: airports, airplanes, track meets, at home when vacuuming :) My favorite feature: touching the pad of the headphones to turn on ambient sound so I can hear and speak to someone. The other related feature is that it will pause music and turn on ambient sound when you start talking so you don't have to manually pause and remove your headphones to do so. Audio automatically pauses when you remove the headphones as well. Other cool features: swipe up and down on the headphone surface to change the volume; swipe forward and back to skip tracks. None of the above would be worth mentioning if the sound quality was not as good as it is. It's not too boomy - the sound is crisp without being harsh. I grew up listening to high end audio and these headphones deliver.

These headphones are absolutely incredible. The sound quality is top-notch, and the noise-cancelling feature is a game-changer. It blocks out almost all ambient noise, making them perfect for travel or just focusing on work. They are also extremely comfortable to wear for long periods. I highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a premium audio experience.

Hands down best wireless ANC around IMO. Lots of great features, sound & noice cancelling. Compares favorably, IMO to Airpods Max even if evenly priced, which of course they’re not (these are 50% less). These are very comfortable, much lighter on your head than Airpods Max which gave me a headache. Sound quality very similar. Noise cancelling very similar. Not as good ambient sound. Can connect to two devices simultaneously (i.e. TV & iPhone at same time) 30+ hours listening time vs 20 from Airpods Max. Includes aux cable & hard travel case. Airpods Max do not include aux cable & it’s case is flimsy & annoyingly required to keep headphones at low power state. Sony’s charge via USB C. Airpods Max do not, insisting on Lightning cable. I prefer Sony’s over Airpods Max & think they’re the best bluetooth noise cancelling headphones on the market today.
