Headphones for the road
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like these. Wish the columns was louder. I don't like that when I start talking the headphones shut off. I forget the name of that feature but it's annoying.

My favorite Sony head phone.

The best around ANC Headphone you can buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With several upgrades from the previous version the The WH-1000-MX3, Sony perfected these headphones. The upgrades are the multiple pairing, the speak to chat, slightly bigger ear cups, slightly better ANC, and slightly better sound quality, The XM4’s are simply far and away the best al around.

Very nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ANC works very well compared to what else is on the market. Its not silent but certainly helps cut out excess noise. The base is tight but lacks power compared to the Sony extra base model. I can hear the depth of base but not feel it. Excellent call quality.

Solid sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are solid headphones for listening to music while working, etc… Only issue is using them when taking a call, tend to switch to phone or computer speakers instead of coming through these. Have also been told that I sound like I’m in an old radio when they do connect and I try to talk on calls.

Incredible Headphones! Best in the game!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are the successor of the XM3's. They provide excellent sound and incredible noise canceling. Very easy to set up. If you are looking for a great headphone with excellent noise canceling you will not be disappointed. They are a little pricy but they are well worth the price.

Great pair of headphones! Highly recommend.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Highly recommend, both the xm4 and xm5. Want better noise canceling? Get the xm5. Want something more compact when you fold it up for travel? Get the xm4. You really can't go wrong with either one.
