Amazing.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones, however my only gripe is that they’re kinda loose if you have a smaller head. That being said the sound quality is still amazing, as well as the battery life. I use them for hours and I don’t have to worry about charging.

Best ANC Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fairly Comfy (not as much as the Bose QCs) but not uncomfortable at all. Great ANC, better app with EQ, and USB-C, because we're 2020....Touch Controls remain top notch and a relatively conservative sleek design perfect for both business and casual environments. The custom ANC button is cool. Only gripe is having to hold power to turn on/off, and the microphone is still pretty terrible. Dropping aptX + aptX LL/HD was also a seriously questionable move, but at the end of they day, it's still bluetooth codec so the quality isn't going to be on par anyways. Sound's passable from a regular viewpoint and downright awful from an audiophone. Of course, you're here for ANC and not something like Senn 6xx so we can gloss over the sound quality.

Better in every way including BT connectivity
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the previous XM2 version years ago and used it often when flying or on conference calls. While the sound and noise cancelling were excellent, the BT switching was terrible between devices. NOW, with teh XM4 they seemed to have fixed that to allow switching between TWO devices relatively seamlessly. The sound quality has improved and even the noise cancelling seems to cover higher frequencies than before. The cans fit more comfortably as well. It should be noted that when shipped, the two device feature was not yet included and a firmware update was required. This was not clear until I called Sony support and they walked me though it. Also, I experienced some odd shutoffs during conference calls due, I think, to my AC running at high and possibly confusing the talk feature. I will experiment further next call. The instruction manual and help pages need overhaul. The pictographic explanations are lame.

Awesome audio & battery for music & travel
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is incredible! They're also super comfortable and the battery lasts a really long time. Amazing headset for travel. The -1 star comes from the fact that the mic only works via bluetooth, not the 3.5mm audio jack. So I can't use it for Xbox/PS gaming (requires wired connection to controller).

Great on the airplane
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for long distance flights and they did not disappoint. Great noise cancellation to block out engine hum and surrounding people. Was helpful for reducing the sound of a crying baby. Also produced good sound quality for airline movies. I still like to use the cable to be able to connect without WiFi and it worked great!

When I talk the music stops and then it starts again! Amazing! The comfort is so amazing - doesn’t hurt my ear even though I have been using it for over 3 hours. I am very impressed by the look - simple and elegant.

these exceeded expectations!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are great!! I should of bought them at first. I started with the Sony Ulta, but the noise cancellation and over all sound quality sounded off. I returned them fo4 the Beats Studio Pro to see if they lived up to the hype seeing several people wearing them at the gym, they were trash. The Beats sounded flat, no EQ on the android app. So i decided to spend the extra money on the Sony 4s, and i havent regretted it. I listen to all different types of Reggae, Hip Hop, R&B and these sound great compared to the rest. I almost got the JBL headphones in the same price range. But the noose cancellation is definitely a game changer. FYI most the over ear headphones are not sweat resistant. I went on Amazon and got the sweat resistant ear covers for $15, because i primarily use the headphones at the gym and i sweat alot.
