Skullcandy Crusher ANCs bow in respect to these.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You already know. These are by far the best headphones for the price. I originally had the skullcandy crusher ANCs, and thought I would miss the bass. However upon revisiting them today, the clarity of the Sony's sound with great bass, far outweigh the eye rattling subwoofer bass from the ANCs

XM4s are whatever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, after having these headphones for a while, I think they're all right. I bought them because I was going on a big trip, and on the plane, they held up pretty good and were nice to have. However, I also brought my AirPods to see the difference, and to be honest, it wasn't that much of a difference that 300 dollars is buying you. These headphones sound great, and that's pretty much all they offer: good-sounding wireless headphones. However, I can't say it's worth the $ 300 price tag. I'd say if you're looking for good quality headphones,s they're other options better for your pocket to,o and If you already own noise canceling wireless headphones like AirPods Pro 2nd gen or of the same generation, I'd say just stick with as these headphones are really that much of an incentive to buy them they're also from 2016

Great Noice Cancelling Headphone

The best!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are the best on the market right now in terms of noise cancellation and value. I compared these to the Bose 700s and for me, these win all day, every day. They are lightweight, hold a charge for forever it seems, and have a fully functional app so you can fine tune your settings. Awesome headphones, you won't regret it!

Wanted to love them
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really was excited about these headphones. I’ve had my Bose QC35-II headphones for a few years and looking for better sound quality and audio during phone calls. I will say that with the EQ settings available, the sound quality was much better than my Bose. However, I had lots of connectivity issues with my iPhone 11 Pro and my latest generation iPad Pro. It would frequently stop working in the middle of movies or music and would have to resync them. If that was all, I probably could have lived with it as I’m sure they will fix some of those issues in firmware. But, the call quality just wasn’t there. I always sounded hollow/electronic to the people I was speaking with. Maybe this will also be fixed in a firmware upgrade, but at $349 that’s just too much to hope that they fix it. I really like the look, sound quality and features of the Sony’s, but do r now I’ll head back to Bose for their updated version and hope that someday the Sony’s can get their firmware better.

Good headphones, slightly cheap feeling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, excellent noise cancelling. Touch controls aren't exactly my favorite but these headphones make up for it everywhere else. Only real complaint is the headband feels a lot cheaper than the older WH-1000XM3s, instead of soft touch plastic it's a really awful feeling scratchy kind. Not encouraging at nearly $300

Best Value and Audio Quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably the best over the ear headphones ive ever owned. Great sound quality and they are super comfortable. Noise cancelling is great but would be better if the transparency mode was a little better sound can be a little muffled and hard to hear compared to AirPods Max or standard Air Pods Transparency modes.
