The Review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Sony XB900. I heard great things about the XM series and decided to give them a try. To be honest, I'm not sure what the big deal is about them. Yes, sound is clearer and Noise Cancelling is better than the XB900. If you compare the Noise Cancelling to the Airpod Pros, they aren't near as good as Airpods Pros. The bass is there, but not as full or deep as it was on the XB900. In conclusion, if you'd like headphones with clear sound and above average bass, you can't go wrong with these. But if you are hoping they have a deep bass punch, I recommend looking somewhere else. Personally, I will be going back to the XB900.

Best Noise Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing. I am currently able to drown out some incredibly loud building construction without blowing my ear drums apart. My husband and I both bought a pair. I love the touch to talk feature that lowers the noise cancelling so you can talk to your partner, then just go back to listening to music, or watching tv. I have to check sometimes to see if construction is really still happening because it gets that tuned out.

Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are worth every penny. I got them on sale which is even better. They sound fantastic. The biggest benefit for purchasing these is the advertised industry leading noise canceling abilities. For once something lives up to the claim. They have been fantastic when used at the gym to cancel out the music played by the gym or the sound of the treadmill. Can't wait to try them when i mow my grass for the first time in the Spring.

Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is great. Listened to a few over ear headphones and these were by far the best and most natural sounding. Full warm bass, but not overwhelming. Clear mids that weren't scooped out, and crispy highs. Flat EQ with these feels very natural. I haven't had luck with the "connect to two devices". It often caused more problems that it was worth, so I just re-pair with the new device. Takes 15 seconds but much easier than anything else.

Great for Music, not so great for meetings
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are the best at the price for music. Excellent sound quality that allows me to hear sounds I’ve never heard before in music, it truly allows you to enjoy the music and makes it almkst feel like you’re there. However, when it comes to calls and meetings, the microphone picks up every single sound which can be a little frustrating.

Marvelous/Enamored by these
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are on the fence about these get off it and get in the grass. These are terrific headphones, your music is meant for these type of headphones. I went through all the ear buds from Sony new ones(which are good but they hurt with the ear tips given) & Bose earbuds(which are the best on the market) these headphones are an instant grab & you wont regret these. Only thing that can possibly take away from these are the material is plastic but feel like air on your head.
