Love Sony's Sound Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the features on thus noise cancelling headphone. It offers many of the same features as Apple and Bose. I've always been satisfied with Sony's sound quality. They're also comfy, even after hours of editing photos, and the grey color matches much of my equipment which give it aesthetic bonus points.

||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These will change your life. If you don’t have super high quality speakers, and yea those are a lot more expensive, get these to start. You will be blown away. They give you super hearing powers when you cup your hand over one side. Connect great. Sony absolutely smashed this generation. You are seriously missing out if you do not have these. Battery has been great but who cares… the sound makes the world melt away.

Compact, comfortable, overall great.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome sound quality. Noise canceling is the best i have come across. I love the fact that i can fold them up and travel with them. Battery life is insane, took them to work and used them for four eight hour days. Towards the end of the fourth i got the low battery warning. Overall very happy with my purchase.

Fantastic Bluetooth headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned Stax, Sennheiser, and Bose headphones. These Sony wireless Bluetooth headphones are by far the best. They sound fantastic and are extremely comfortable. You can wear them for hours and not know they are there. Noise reduction works great and the right earphone can control volume and song selection. The other day I cut the grass wearing these phones and could not hear the mower. I could have cut another yard or two.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds good, battery lasts all day. The battery doesn't seem quite as good as advertised, but I often have them on 12+ hours a day and never have to charge them before bed. Noise cancelling is crazy good. I've had these for about 6 months and there are no signs of wear - build quality seems sturdy. I do wish you could have them on and charging at the same time for when the battery inevitably deteriorates.

Best sounding headphones, with one annoying issue
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start off by saying I loved the Sony XM4's. They were very comfortable, easy to use, and sounded great. They could pair with 2 devices at once, so I could use them with my Iphone and Macbook together. I ultimately returned these though due to an annoying hissing sound in the right ear cup. I had tried many things to correct it, but after looking it up online, I saw many people with the same issue. The problem is with the way the noise cancelling corrects for quiet environments. If I deactivate the noise cancelling, the hissing goes away. However, I bought these to be ultra quiet. Hopefully Sony with correct this issue so I can buy an updated version.

My experience.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Headphones allow you to hear things in certain songs you wouldn't be able to do on regular everyday headphones. These have the comfort of everyday headphones, however, the immersion within the headphones itself is an experience—a unique one.

Noise Cancelling Headsets
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these headsets. I bought them for the noise cancelling effect, which has been working great so far. After I have been able to connect them to my older TV's and Tablet, I have this,wonderful surround sound effect. Even though I did not plan buying headsets,that pricey, it definitely was a good investment. Highly recommended.

Almost perfect with some quirks
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What's great: Very comfortable to wear. Solid construction. Good sound. Noise cancelling is very good. Sound quality seems also very good. Folds neatly into a small carrying case. Cool color (midnight blue) Needs improvement: This is my personal preference but volume control, swiping up on right cup feels awkward. Forward and backward feels natural. Adaptive sound control didn't work well for me. When I tried it, it kept changing mode every 30 seconds or so. I just turned it off. Overall, I really like it. Even more so when I got money back because price dropped within 2 weeks of purchase

Better than the Bose QC35 II
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced a pair of Bose QC35 IIs with these headphones, and I would say that while the Bose headphones are very good, the XM4 is superior in nearly every respect, with regard to ANC effectiveness, sound quality, bass. I'm a little annoyed, with long hair, with the double-tap to pause feature though, it takes a few tries to get right sometimes, and I miss having an actual button for that like with the QC35 IIs
