Customer Ratings & Reviews

These headphones provide excellent sound and spatialization. They are comfortable enough but be aware that they can get warm because they are closed headphones with no cooling air circulation. However since that didn't really bother me personally I did not deduct a star. Pricing was decent and I have had great experience with Sony products in general. Lastly, this is the second pair I purchased. The first was for me and the second for my adult son. We are both very pleased.

Great sound quality. Comfortable fit even with glasses. Great battery life.

Excellent headphones! Noise cancellation is great, I have been a Bose customer for a few years and enjoyed their QuietComfort headphones. The noise cancellation is honestly the same if not slightly better on these headphones! I love the design and finish of these ones, the case is very sturdy, and the touch controls are great once you get used to them. Hands down the feature that sold me is the ability to cup your hand over the right headphone and temporarily lower your music while turning on transparency/active listening mode so you can hear a quick announcement; I travel a lot so these will be great for my next flight! The battery also lasts super long; the only downside is that the app is a bit confusing/unintuitive but nothing you can't handle with a bit of investigation or a quick google search.

I've been looking for a pair of bluetooth headphones for work and running, and after seeing these on sale I got them. Battery lasts a long time. The noise cancelling feature is maybe my favorite part about them. I can still hear if someone needs to grab my attention, but it blocks out all of the other noises I dont want to hear. Music and audiobooks sound great. I recommend.

I have never been able to wear noise-cancelling headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC) on without getting a headache until these. I tried the XM3s in store last year and got a headache just wearing them for a few minutes. I bought the XM4s assuming I would eventually return them because of side effects of ANC, but thought I would give them a try because of so many good reviews. I'm glad I did. When I first paired the headphones with my phone I put on some music, opened the tutorial in the app, and learned how to cycle through the noise-cancelling modes. I wanted to go right into ANC mode to see if it was indeed improved (as I'd seen in reviews) or if it would start bothering me right away. That's when I realized the headphones were already in ANC mode and that the side effects I experienced on other headphones (starts as a weird pressure, almost like your ears need to pop, and a temporary ringing, eventually leading to a headache) were not there. With the XM3s I noticed the pressure feeling immediately. With these it hasn't happened while using them for almost two weeks, with listening sessions of up to 45 minutes straight. I wanted to focus on ANC-induced headaches in this review because I know others suffer with the same issues from ANC headphones. If you have experienced similar side effects from other headphones I'd recommend giving these a try. Otherwise they are comfortable (I have a big head!), sound really good, are easy to use, have phenomenal battery life (I'm still on the initial charge), and a sturdy case that keeps them well protected. I highly recommend these headphones.

Great sound quality and very comfortable. Holds battery charge for a long time to.

I have been using these nearly everyday since i purchased them about a year ago. I tell everyone how great they are. Super comfortable, easy to use and connect to multiple devices, pretty good battery life, good noise cancelling and they look great. I use them for work, at the gym, mowing the lawn, and traveling, etc. I bought another pair for my mom too. I can't recommend these enough

Trying to find the best headphones for you is hard. I ended up returning and here’s why. Sound Quality - 5 stars Loudness - 4 stars Build Quality - 5 Usability - 4 stars Comfort - 5 stars Compatibility - 2 stars Noise Canceling - 5 stars Noise Isolation - 3 stars The sound quality is great but I can’t help but wish they were louder with more punch. After trying the Sony WH-XB900N these weren’t that far off. The comfort, noise isolation, usability was about the same and I really didn’t feel a 200 difference in quality. The main reason for returning is for compatibility and usability . I am both an Apple and a Windows User. These headphones will not work in Gaming Apps for some odd reason. So compatibility wise for me at least they suck. Also I have to mention as an Apple user these headphones don’t automagically pair to all my devices. That didn’t make my decision necessarily but it a noteworthy mention. I didn’t mind having to pair them but when they started choosing when they were going to work well the price you pay for the headset doesn’t seem justified. The noise canceling was great but the isolation could be better as I could still hear the TV in another room and the vacuum cleaner running in another room. Albeit less then normal and at a tolerable level it was still distracting while working for home. Noise still bleeds in from heads which kinda make the noise canceling less effective. Usability wise I hate the touch controls. If I’m stretching, grabbing at some while laying down my arms some times would accidentally touch the heads which depending on where they touched changed the song and or adjusted volume I ended going with the Beats Solo Pros because they where just as good in the sound department and better than the XB900. Noise Canceling is slightly worse but not that far off and in some instances I feel it may win out cause the isolation may be better IMO. The headphones work with everything in Windows and as a plus I do not have to re-pair with my Apple devices. I would definitely recommend trying these but for me there a no go.

I LOVED these headphones right from the beginning! They are noise canceling and don't give me headaches from the pressure of wearing them or using the noise canceling feature. They also have an optional feature so they can detect when you take them off and automatically pause your music so you don't miss it! If you get the companion app that goes along with them you can customize pretty much everything. You have the option to adjust the noise canceling level, the bass, if you want them to auto adjust to your lifestyle and so much more!

I got these for Christmas, yay me! I wanted some better noise canceling headphones and these were on sale, so I said YES. I chose the silver color, which is like a neutral gray color instead of black so I could see things on the headphones better. Almost all of my electronics are black and it's getting harder and harder for me to see the tiny details on them, so I chose the lighter color. I also like to be able to find them easily, and when everything is black, things get lost in the black hole. The headphones themselves are great. I read the instructions, but I also looked to videos online about how to use them more to their potential. I can't say I use all of the neat little tricks but I did learn a lot more about them. I love the flat oval zipped case these headphones are stored in. I am taking these on a trip next week and I'm sure they will pack nicely in my personal item bag. The case also has a strap if I want to clip it to my bag. Everything you need to operate these headphones comes in the case, the charging cord, airplane plug if it's compatible with the plane, and an aux cord if needed. The battery life is really great on these. I can listen to hours of music and podcasts while wearing these, plus they are comfortable on my ears and top of my head.

1. Comfortable 2. NC is fantastical. I have a loud fan and someone who snores constantly. It's pin quiet when turned on, 3. Great sound. It's the bass most are looking for...pronounced and punchy. 4. Love dual pairing for cell phone calls while connected to the laptop. 5. Legit on battery claims. 6. Great quality presentation of product and case. 7. Simple to use. 8. Price but worth it. Watch for sales.

These headphones are excellent. They are very good with noise cancellation and the quality of music is amazing. You can also adjust the volume using swiping motions on the right ear muff. You can also pause/play music, as well as answering/hanging up the phone. I don't think headphones can get any better than this. Although I bought them when they were $348, and they are now on sale for $228, I do not regret the purchase. These are the most comfortable on the market and definitely top AirPods Max. Great to wear while working out, and fit snug, also adjustable for various sizes. Battery lasts me 2-3 days with 5+hours of use each day. Definitely would recommend to someone who has been conflicted with buying a pair of headphones! Have a great day:)!

These headphones are one of the— if not the most comfortable headphones i’ve ever worn. The cushion on the ears makes it feel as if you’re not even wearing them. The headphones do really well with noise cancellation, in fact, you can control its listening modes through the app that you download during set up. The battery life is amazing. I can go without charging these for multiple days sometimes, but it does depend on the listening mode and the length of use between usages. Using these headphones without break will get you about 7 hours of listening time WITH noise cancellation on. Overall, the purchase was highly worth it and I find myself using them quite often!

I love these headphones. They have all the features I was looking for and more I didnt consider. 1) great for work - you can be connected to your laptop and phone at the same time 2) the active noise cancellation doesnt give me a headache 3) the passive noise cancellation is great and the headphones are comfy for long periods 4) battery life is superior

Comfortable and affordable headphones. They’re definitely wireless headphones I’d recommend and even got a friend to buy them and he also loves them I love that you can make a custom setting and adjust the sound of the headphones with the app as well. Love that they also come with a carrying case and accessories and if they’re dead you can resort to using them wired with the adapter it comes with and they’ll work without having to charge them and I don’t really see a lot of wireless headphones with this feature. It’s perfect for travel and easy to use and to connect and the battery life, short charge time, and the sound quality make it worth the price.

Very good sound quality and noice canceling. There could be better insulation from outside noise and although the headphones do an amazing job in most environments, they struggle to cancel out certain noises in real time, such as in a coffee shop. I love that they can be used both wired and wirelessly, so sound quality doesn't have to be sacrificed. The app could be better and Bluetooth connectivity can cut out if multiple devices are carried together. Overall, they're a solid choice for the money.

Decided to upgrade from ANC earbuds to these, and I'm so glad I did. It came down to these and the Bose 700s, but I chose these based on the reviews. I live in an otherwise great apartment complex where I can sometimes hear my neighbor below me (on the phone, music, etc.), so I just pop these bad boys on and everything disappears. I can't hear the washer, HVAC, cars right outside, voices, etc. Even without any music playing, they still drown out all the noise. So far they've worked great with the audio cable connected to my PS4 controller, and via BT with my PC/phone/Macbook, etc. I don't notice any loss of sound quality connecting to my PS4 controller to play; the only kinda annoying thing is that there seems to be no way to control the volume outside the actual in-game audio settings. I bought a really long audio cable to connect directly to my Roku TV and the headphones so as to control volume via the TV, but there's a bit of feedback there (prob the TV jack, or the cable?). So I just use the controller. I love the app and ability to set my own sound equalizer settings. Connecting to two devices simultaneously is also a great feature because sometimes I want to listen to music while I wait for a game to load, etc. These are also super comfy. I have a small head and was worried they wouldn't fit snugly, but they do! I've worn them for at least 4-5 hours at a time with no discomfort to any part of my head or ears.

After searching and trying over 10 “competitors”, including strong offerings from Bose and Seinnheiser, these are really worth all of the hype. Multiple Bluetooth device support is a WFH dream, and strong battery life and sound quality keep me in the focus game for everything I need. Can’t recommend them enough, and they’re incredibly lightweight and comfortable, even for my XL sized head.

Excellent headphones, very comfortable with great sound and noise cancelling as well as battery life. I used them when traveling, very happy with them.

Five stars may seem generous but allow me to prove my opinion. These headphones are not the absolute best at any one thing, but their ability to do it all is why they receive a five star rating. They sound very, very good. Sennheiser good? No. But these are great headphones that still impress me with their sound quality. Are they as comfortable as the Bose NC-700's? Not quite, but I can wear these for hours before the headband induces soreness or the earcup pressure becomes fatiguing. The noise canceling is incredible, truly 5 stars, and while i dont live in a big city, numerous times I've left a noisy stovetop vent running because I simply couldnt hear it over the sound of a podcast, not even music. The battery life is fantastic and comnecting them to multiple devices is simple enough that the extra pinch of time to pair and connect is perfectly okay with me. The interesting earcup fold to place them appropriately in the case takes about a week to get used to but once you memorize it the act is natural and takes very little thought. The included 3.5mm audio cable, airplane charge converter dongle, and short usb-c to A cable are nothing short of a bonus and are appreciated. Again, these headphones dont knock anything completely out of the park, but they do everything very well. Give them a chance!
