Great Noise Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the M2 for the last couple of years and decided to upgrade primarily due to the additional software features offered in the newer version. I will say that while they are lighter than the previous version, the materials feel less premium. Outside of that, I love these headphones!

Performing....as advertised!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Still maintaining Sony's high standards. Only upgraded from the XM-3's due to their tweaking the of quieting down even more of background noise during calls and the added feature dual connection at once on two devices like the QC 35 II. Only wish they were water resistant like the Jabra 85t's. Hence 4 stars.

Posted .Hi Foxx, Thank you for sharing your experience. While we're glad you like the sound quality and battery performance, we're sad to hear that you have concerns with the fitting. This is not the usual case with our XM4. We recommend to try and adjust the headband of your XM4 to the desired fit but it will not hurt your head or ears. By this, the headphone will stay on your head. Enjoy and thanks for choosing Sony. -Craig
