Good for noise cancelling, not so good for talking
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall these headphones are great, the sound quality for me is adequate and the noise cancelling is great. The only problem I have had is the ear phones are a bit tight and after prolonged use it causes sweat and a bit of discomfort but it’s not to noticeable. I have had a bit of trouble with the app that comes with it but after a bit of trial and error I have gotten used to it.

Great ... but better be at this price :)
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow. Just a different experience now with these headphones. The user experience is a bit clunky when learning how to connect them and I wish I could have connected to PS5 w/o an adapter but these things are phenomenal.

Best Noise Canceling Headphones period.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't think sony would be able to improve from its wh1000xm3 but they have some how. Noise canceling is better, they sound amazing and the fact that I could get them in this best buy exclusive midnight blue color, it was totally worth the upgrade for me.

Sony xm4
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Xm4’s is sounds really good ! But if you have the WH-XB900N they will sounds very similar so I’m not sure if it’s really worth the upgrade. But if you can find for a discounted price. You will not regret it.
