Sony XM4
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The most comfortable headphones on the market. Amazing sound and perfect amount of bass. Only thing I wish was changed is to increase the amount of devices you could have it connected to at once.

Blue and Noise Cancelling!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound Quality and Bass are balanced well - these are comfortable to wear for about 4 hours, It is slightly on the larger side since it's overeat and thus not great for running around or exorcising in. Best for relaxing or editing with.

Best Sounding Headphones I've Owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Until recently, I've been using a 10-year old pair of (wired) Bose headphones. To be fair, they've served me well, but when my nephew purchased a pair of the WH-1000XM3 headphones last year, I had a chance to try them out. In my opinion, they were much better sounding than my old Bose. I held out from buying a pair though ... until the WH-1000XM4's arrived. I'm so glad I bought these. I'm a bass lover, and these headphones certainly deliver. The vocals are crisp and the dynamic range is great. I use mine with a Galaxy Android phone and the two work together seamlessly. Music pauses when I take the headphones off, and I'm also able to pair it with both my Apple TV 4K and my Fire TV Cube. I recently used them on my first flight (post-covid) and the noise cancelling is excellent. As for the mic ... well, it's clear enough so that I can issue Alexa commands, and it works well for most situations. However, for my work-related Teams calls, I still prefer my older Sennheiser headset with dedicated mic. boom. Overall, well worth the money.

Wonderful but wasn’t what I wanted
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchase these headphones wanting the spatial audio feature. These as told by the Best Buy geek squad has 360 audio and not spatial audio and they are not the same thing. These headphones seem to focus more on the noise cancellation which work’s absolutely fantastic they muffle so much noise even before you ever even turn on the noise cancellation function. But again that isn’t why I had bought them. The 360 audio only work with 7 different music apps that they recommend to you and (it might work with more was too frustrated to look into all of what other apps, but it has you picking from the 7) which you have to actually pay for a subscription so if your trying to get these headphones for the spatial audio feature go with beats instead. In conclusion they are wonderful if noise cancellations is what you are looking for but do not provide the spatial audio AND.. they give you this short little baby sized cord to charge your headphones with I used my remote as reference but like come on it’s not even a foot long

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing sound. I was able to hear instruments to songs that I was unable on other headphones. The fit is super comfortable, and the battery life is great for long trips, etc. Only downside is I am unable to share the app with a friend who has the same headphones to watch a movie while while flying.

Super comfortable and great sound quality!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the look and feel of these headphones. They are super comfortable. The sound quality is also top notch. I love the feature that detects your voice and pauses what you're listening to and the noise cancellation so you can talk to someone and hear what they're saying. The fact that there's an even newer model is crazy. The price point made this model so worth it and it's still so good. I only have two complaints, and they're totally minor. I know at least one of them is fixed with the newer model, which is that I don't like how they're stored. You awkwardly have to twist one side completely and the other bend at an awkward angle to fit in the case, it's judt a strange way to fit the headphones into the case. My only other complaint is that sometimes the bluetooth connection isn't great and the sound will be static-y. All I have to do is disconnect bluetooth and reconnect and it's fixed. Both minor annoyances that still made the cheaper price for the older model 100% worth it.

Great decision
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was between Bose, and these new sonys. Looked at reviews for weeks until I broke down and spend the buttload of money for them and the protection plan, which in the end will def be worth it. Awesome clear sound, bass is loud, but couldn’t hit low notes as well as I anticipated. Feels great, comfy, and have a lot of different settings, a ton of great functions.

The best or nothing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simply the most comfortable, best sounding headphones on the planet (at least at this price point). I upgraded from the WH-1000XM2 headphones, so I was already accustomed to how good Sony's headphones are in general. Battery life, comfort, pretty much stayed the same. I noticed a nice bump in sound, as well as slightly better noise canceling.

High performing and highly recommended.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding, high performing. Good amount of bass but well balanced. I listen to mostly metal and the low end is good but not overpowering while the high end is excellent. Wish they’d get a bit louder, I find around 90% volume is it’s sweet spot on an iPhone 12. App is quite good, lots of customization. Little pricey but the quality is there.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I know these headphones are a little expensive.

The base is really good. They are light and easy to use. And the app is pretty extensive. I recommend is highly.

Outstanding Headphones
