Great headphones
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For my first official pair of headphones, these ones are great! Appearance wise, it’s great. I went with the color black because it matches almost anything and the sound quality along with the battery life is good! 10/10 would recommend and buy again!

Still a top quality headset
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Still supreme sound quality and amazing battery life years down the line. In some ways it's still better than the new version and this is more travel friendly with the ability to fold and store. Definitely still a great purchase in 2023.

Best pair of headphones I’ve ever owned.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve always been a fan of over-ear headphones. When I got these, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of comfort and sound quality these give. Best noise canceling in the market, and certainly the best pair of headphones out there. The only thing I have a problem with is the USB-C cord that comes with. Puniest little USB cord I’ve ever seen. Definitely get a separate one.

Sony Wireless Headphone Sensation
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over the Ear Headphones on the market. Sony really did an amazing job. I got the silver color that has a sultle rich looking undertone that makes a statement along with the unique oval carrying case that fits every convenience. The setup was to the point precise and simple with Sony Headphone Connect App assistance. The Sony Wireless Headpnones size is perfect fit over the ears no adjustment needed. I love the operation from the right cup of the touch sensor control by just swiping up or down to control volume and left or right to advance or repeat a track. Just a couple of taps in the center will pause and resume the music and auto stops to recieve a call while listening. The Sony Headphones can be set to pause or turn off automatic when taken off. Placing your plam over the right cup can let you listen to ambiant sound quickly if you want to hear the TV or activate speak to chat. Last but not least the sound of the Sony Headphones are a five star rating with the 360 Reality Audio Setup sound personlization and the DSEE Extreme combined digital enhancement is clarity and distinction at its best. These Sony Wireless Headphones are the best Noise-Cancelling device I have listened to along with its LDAC Bluetooth audio you can't ask for more.

Good noise canceling, great sound quality.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I first took these out of the box, I put them on charge while I read the instructions, and after 2 hours they indicated fully charged so I followed the easy quick start guide and downloaded the headphones app from the Play store. i followed the simple instructions and paired them to my phone. The app instructed me on how to adjust a few of the settings, and then it played a few test tones to customize the noise canceling feature to my ears. The speakers sounded great right out of the box, but I used the app to change the EQ settings more to my taste. The bass response on these headphones is outstanding. I played a few test tone sweeps and the headphones handled the full frequency sweeps perfectly and never broke up or crackled. The volume plays loud enough that I rarely even turned them up even half way. I love the auto pause feature when I start talking, and I like that the headphones pipe in my voice when I'm speaking so that I can hear myself and I'm not shouting when talking to others. The reason I didn't give these 5 stars is because they do have a few things that I didn't like. Sometimes when they pause the music when I speak, the music never starts again. The noise canceling kicks back on, but I have to tap the headphone cup to get the music to play again. Sometimes the music won't start by tapping the ear cup and I have to pull out my phone and press play on it again to restart the music. The other issue I have is the comfort. They feel pretty good at first, but the padding on the cups is a little bit thin, and the band that goes over my head is skinny and the padding is also a bit to thin. After about an hour I can really feel the pressure on my head and my ears start to hurt. After 2 hours the top of my head hurts, my ears hurt worse, and I get a small headache. So as much as I would like to keep wearing them, I have to take them off due to the pressure. If the overhead band was wider, and the ear cups were a bit larger and padded a little bit more I feel like they would be a lot more comfortable. But then they wouldn't fit in the included hard case, and the price would go up too. Overall I like them, I just wish I could wear them longer than 2 hours at a time.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had these for more than 6 months and I think they’re the most overhyped tech product I’ve ever used. They have some good attributes, but overall, I wish I had gotten either nice Bose headphones or AirPods Max. Battery life: amazing. This is so good that I think I’ve charged my headphones twice in the 6 months I’ve owned them, even with listening most days. I like that they charge with usb-C. Portability: great. This was the main selling point for me, and a big reason why I didn’t get the XM5s or AirPods Max. For full-sized over the ear headphones, these fold up pretty small and come with a nice case. Build quality: good. They seem pretty durable, and feel good in the hand. They look nice, better than Bose and Beats. Sound quality: mid. After going through the tuning process, I thought the balance was noticeably improved for the music I listen to. However, it’s still a mixed bag. In a quiet room, I think some music sounds better than my AirPods Pro, but other songs sound worse (typically muddier). The AirPods are more consistently good in a quiet environment. The XM4s naturally block more sound and therefore will sound better than AirPods in a noisy environment. I enjoy listening to music much more on my Sonos Arc + Sub than my XM4s. Comfort: bad. I can only wear these for about an hour before the top of my head hurts and my ears get hot. I can’t wear them with sunglasses, which is a minor inconvenience, but would be a major inconvenience if you wear prescription glasses. Interface: terrible. This is the worst part of the XM4s. I want 3 settings: noise cancellation, transparency, and plain headphones. While you can adjust the relative levels in the app, it’s difficult to get this right. Transparency isn’t good enough for a phone call. Also, the voice that tells you what setting you changed to speaks super slowly. And they always default to noise cancellation, which I rarely want to use. They can pair with two devices at once, though I wish it were more devices and more seamless, like my AirPods. They don’t pair with a PS5, which is crazy because Sony makes both.
