    I'm really enjoying my headphones. I almost exclusively use them for traveling especially planes. It keeps the lod plane noise out. I don't like flying without them. I'm also very thankful for the cord, as bluetooth and me are not always friendly.

    Previously owned the M3 version but my girlfriend started using them and didn’t want to give them back. Met her half way on the price and picked up the newer version M4 in blue for myself. Loved my M3’s and love my M4’s just as much. Highly recommended if you want some of the best sound and noise canceling available. You won’t be disappointed!

    This is for a Christmas Gift so not used to date. However, these were tried on in the store and my niece and I both thought they were better than the newer Sony model and Bose. We both have Bose headsets and these Sony are equal to at least the Bose.

    Originally I wanted the previous version of these but I’m glad I splurged on the newer model. Sound quality is what I expected and the noise cancelling is the best I’ve experienced. The only issue I run into is that my devices will randomly disconnect once and I’ll have to reconnect. After that there aren’t any issues. Love these either way.

    I really liked these headphones, the only reason I decided to change this for the XM5 is that that model wasn't on display in the store, so I could not compare the sound between my XM4, VS the XM5, so once I tried the XM5 for the 15-day trial I liked the sound of the XM5 better.
