Love these
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously owned the WH-1000XM2 headphones and those were hands down my favorite headphones. Great at noise canceling, especially needed since I commute in public transportation. I always felt the bass on those were a bit too much but I could always change eq on my iPad. I finally decided to purchase the WH-1000XM4 headphones because I had heard a lot of good things. And they were not lying. They still have great noise canceling but the sound to me is more open and not too heavy on the bass. The app is also pretty cool. It's got a lot of features. I really dig these headphones and I'm very happy with dishing out over $300 for them.

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!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the XM2's and the XM3's and while they're all incremental upgrades. The XM4's are by far the best ANC headphones on the market, especially at $279. These headphones easily compete with the offerings from BOSE and have a wonderful sound signature. The midnight blue option provides a high end classy look. I use these for evening listening of a wide variety of genres. The ANC is excellent to the point I've not heard someone yelling my name from just one room over. The ANC is fully adjustable so you can set yours so you can hear someone talking to you. But to cut to the chase, great headphones, worth every penny.

Very good product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product. The sound quality is unmatched. I am very pleased with this product. My only critique involves the ear cup “fingertip” controls: they just aren’t as responsive consistently as I would like. At times they simply “refuse” to respond with the desired action.

The best noise canceling headphones available
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best noise canceling over ear headphones hands down. I’ve tried all the big main manufacturers. Sony XM series are without a doubt the best ones out there for that money range. Highly recommend! My only complaint is that the new XM4 vs my old XM3 it seems as the battery does not last as long, but with a 30 hour battery life I’m still happy.
