Holy Sound Batman
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These came highly recommended to me, but that didn't even begin to do them justice. I nearly cried when I first put them on and heard the amazing soundscape they provide. The ANC is amazing, the full clarity of the range is mind-blowing, and they are comfortable enough for hours and hours of listening.

Perfect pair of headphones!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ll keep this short. These are the best headphones I have used for music I feel like they may be a little over priced as almost 400 dollars for any pair of headphones feels like it’s too much lol but luckily I have gotten these on sale! Pick these up as soon as possible! My one gripe and I’m definitely in the minority is that every time I turn on the headphones it goes into noise cancellation mode automatically I wish I could turn that off. I’m not the biggest fan of noise cancellation as it messes with my hearing a bit and makes my ears feel funny.

Very good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are really good, they are comfortable and sound really good. I read some reviews saying that they don't fit well for them but for me they fit really good and stay comfortable over a long period of time. The ANC is really good as well, i barely hear anything with these on.

outperforms the competition
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I debated between these headphones and the Bose 700 for many months. I bit the bullet when I spoke to someone in the store who spoke about his experience with these for the last year. I’m glad I listened. These are so comfortable and the noise cancelling is incredible. The audio quality is top notch, the automatic noise cancellation feature can be great when turned on. It will enable 100 percent when stationary and when it detects you moving it will allow all sound to enter to hear your surroundings. You can adjust the intensity of the noise cancelling on multiple levels and for multiple preset scenarios. Audio quality is consistent throughout every setting. I am someone who worked as an audio engineer for 8 years and this does not seem to color the sound of any audio. No extra bass, no harsh highs. Just perfect for comfort, quality, ease of use. Happy with this purchase and if you’re debating… don’t and go buy them!

Great all around sound with extra bass.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the Bose 700 ANC first and wasn't satisfied with the bass response. The highs are second to none however the bass was really lacking. I returned them and got the MX4s. All I can say is wow! Sound quality is awesome and the bass is deep and loud. The app allows for adjusting the sound and I was blown away. Definitely a keeper. Bose does have the option in their app but it does little help for bass. The MX4s headset is great for plane flights. With all the noise on a plane, the MX4s block it all. The Bose 700s left me with a earache due to the air pressure, I didn't get that with the MX4s. Great job Sony! I fly very frequently and both headsets have their plus and negative. To me the MX4s do what I need them to do. I'm bass heavy so the MX4s are great for me and the 360 sound is amazing. If you like sound clarity with light bass; go with Bose 700s. If you want clarity and good punchy low end bass, go with the MX4s. Sony did a better job when it came to all around sound. That's my 2 cents.

Just awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comparing this with my favorite headsets Beat Solo3, Beats Solo Pro, and SkullCandy Crusher, this Sony headset is the best! The noise canceling feature is very impressive. As soon as I turn it on, I hear a complete silence. No more buzz from my desktop fans. I love it! I can also walk away at least 3 times farther without losing signals or getting static noise. This headset is super comfortable. I think my head is slightly bigger than average women and the Beats headset just pinch my ears little too much. SkullCandy was nice, but the earmuffs were a bit bulky. I'm not into that Princess Leah headbuns style. This Sony headset is just right. Now I can stop looking for a better headset because I found one. I am hoping to find it in different colors. The color on the picture was a bit misleading. The actual color is gray and has no tint of cream. I was a little disappointed when I first saw it, but the headset itself is just amazing.

Unexpectedly good
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones have surpassed my expectations especially in comfortability, noise cancelling and sound quality. I got them to replace my Beats Solo pros and this pair hasn’t let me down. I miss the almost magical integration of my beats to my iPhone and iPad but these r okay since I can connect them to two devices (AND IT HAS AN AUDIO JACK). It even comes with an adaptor for a those weird airplane audio jacks

Great sound and comfort, poor noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing sound quality and super comfortable! The battery is also amazing! The only reason I took off a star is that the noise canceling is not the greatest. Even with all the settings optimized for the best experience, I still find myself being able to hear what’s around me. Additionally, I have been told that others can hear what I’m listening to even if the volume isn’t that high.

Perfect Bluetooth ANC Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are light weight, comfortable and long lasting (about 29 hrs from my test). Keep in mind that for gaming you need to wire up, to avoid BT lag. If you're looking for gaming headphone only, there are cheaper options out there but if you're looking for these specifics features, this is the headphone to beat!
I would recommend this to a friendPerfect for people with sensory issues!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1,000/10!!! I would 100% recommend. I was between this and the AirPod Pros, and I love these. They’re so comfortable and they’re more affordable. I’ve had them for almost 2 years now, and I still love them so much. Their battery life and sound quality is still good, but my favorite is the noise cancellation and the comfort. It fits around my ears instead of on them, and the ear pieces are so plush and comfortable. As someone who has sensory issues, these are perfect. I got them for grad school and continue to use them often.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I highly recommend these headphones. No doubt about it, they are expensive. But I definitely see it as an investment and not so much “breaking the bank”. If you’re annoyed and want to shut out the world, THESE ARE THE HEADPHONES FOR YOU! If you want to feel like you’re in the studio whilst listening to your favorite song, THESE ARE THE HEADPHONES FOR YOU. No joke. Also, they double as earmuffs lol because the ear part is very cushy. Anyway, 10/10, I definitely recommend, plus I would get the warranty… I’m an anxious person and I always get it just in case lol. ONE DOWNSIDE, I feel like on the website the silver color looks more cream colored, and in person they give more silver/gray. I didn’t like that at first but it grew on me!

Best headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did my research before deciding to purchase them. I saw these on sale last year around this time and I did a big mistake thinking they would be on sale a few weeks before Christmas but they weren’t and I ended up buying them but I returned them because of the price which was full price. So when they came around the holidays again this year, I didn’t hesitate when I saw the price drop to the same one as last year. In my opinion, they are the best ones comfort sound and price. I’d rather buy these than the Apple headphones.
