Excellent choice in headphones

They are comfortable on your ears and block out almost all sounds. I can not even hear when someone knocks on my door,. I would buy again when I need a new pair

Same great headphone as its predecessor
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There really is nothing else to say about this headphone. It sounds just as great as the XM3s and the NC, IMO, seems better. The option to pair with two devices at the same time is useful though I would prefer if we could do more devices (I regularly switch between multiple devices and pairing again and again is a bit annoying when I exceed the limit). Unfortunately, that is really all that is new in this headphone, IMO. The speak-to-chat feature is annoying and I ended up turning it off. Battery life is the same. There is an addition of a sensor to the left cup to pause media when the cans are taken off. I find it hard to award this headphone 5 or 4 stars since there is hardly anything new except the option to pair with two devices simultaneously and the minor ANC improvements.

love the noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the sony noise canceling headphones this is my 4th pair between me and family. I love them the most when flying. I was on a flight with co-workers and i could see them looking annoyed... apparently a baby had been screeching for at least a half hour. I wouldn't know because I didn't hear any of it. If you can get them on sale they're a great pair of headphones

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones are great! They have awesome noise cancelation and are very comfortable. Just like any over-ear headphone, they can get hot and sweaty if wearing them outside in the sun, but perfect for inside home or office use. App also lets you fine-tune to your own sound profile

Very Nice Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been very pleased with these headphones. Music sounds very good through them, and I can also wear them to block-out ambient noise when I'm reading. I was able to connect them easily to a Roku TV (via Roku app on my phone) and to both a Sony and a Denon a/v receiver for private listening. The a/v receiver connections were excellent; the Roku, not so much (there was a noticeable audio delay), but I blame the via-app / over-WiFi to Bluetooth connection for that, not the headphones. I recently wore them while talking with my mom (who's hard of hearing) on the phone while out for a walk with the dog in a suburban but, at times, high-auto-traffic area. I could hear her very clearly and she said that she could hear me much more clearly than when I have used my traditional Bluetooth headset on the same kinds of walks.

EXCELLENT for travelling.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these and the Bose 700. The Sony hides more noise than the Bose and I could tell during an 8 hr plane trip....yes....I wore both during the trip. The Bose are great, but these cancel more. They encapsulate your ears slightly better. HOWEVER...the Bose sound better, more crisp, better sound clarity. You can get a similar sound profile if you edit the profile in the Sony App by increasing the mids and a little on the highs. Also, I was not a fan of the touchpad sensitivity and area of activity. The Sony use the entire surface so hoodies, hair, pillows, etc activated the controls. On the Bose, the active area is infront of the headband bar which acts as a sort of barrier. At the end, Bose are my go-to because they are superior in comfort, sound and everyday cancellation. The Sony's are my travel ones....since I went past my return window :)

XM4s - great value & continue to out perform XM5s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used Beats (over the ear) headphones for many years. After listening to my son’s XM4’s, I knew there was no going back. After testing the XM6’s, while there are small upgrades, the XM4’s are proven and loved by many, including our family!
