Gold standard!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: Awesome noise canceling. Great battery life. Very comfortable. Good sound quantity (even great after tweaking EQ). Cons: app is just ok (connects slowly, interface is confusing). Ears might get a bit sweaty after a couple of hours of use.

A travel must have!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first pair of noise-cancelling headphones. I didn't think that was really a thing until I was drying a load of laundry AND cooking with the fan on and didn't hear either. These are exactly what I need and wanted and more. I've never known that headphones could pair to multiple things at once and you could switch between devices seamlessly. The battery lasts a good amount of time and charging is simple. I will never travel without these.

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.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality. Solid bass and good battery life. But sometimes the headphones would kick me out of silent mode for ambience sound for the little sounds even when I set the settings not to.

THIS is the noise cancelling you want!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't typically review products or give unsolicited recommendations, but I've gotta say, if you need headphones with some SERIOUSLY effective noise cancelling, these are what you want. I loaned mine to my boyfriend last night so he could watch TV while I practiced drums, and he fell asleep on the couch with them for a solid 2 hours while I banged on drums 6 feet from his head.
