A great Bose option
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had 3 pairs of Bose headsets over the past 30 years. They are certainly great especially for air travel. I recently updated to the newest Bose headset and was a bit disappointed at the lack of features compared to what Sony offered. I returned them and bought the Sony. Everyone has different sound preferences, but to me the Sony sounded a bit better and have more features at the same price point. They even seemed more durable. Also, no proprietary Bose connectors. Great case. I think Bose has fallen behind in keeping up their innovation over the last few years. Perhaps success has caused them to think they don’t need to keep up with the market and rely on name only.

A work-from-home staple
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been wanting these headphones for over 6 months, so when these went on sale for Black Friday, I didn’t waste a minute to buy them. These headphones are so comfortable and are truly noise-cancelling. They’re even good to use for work calls. Love that it can connect up to 2 devices at a a time, and I’ve only had to charge them 2-3 times in the month I’ve had them. Best splurge ever!

You can hear everything or nothing.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best noise cancellation I’ve ever encountered. To the point where you take off the headphones and you can make believe you have super-hearing for a few seconds. Also you can allow the ambient noise in or even amplify it. Got bored on the plane the other day and decided to turn up the voice ambience and heard all about some dude’s infidelity. Guess he thought nobody would be able to hear over the engine sound but apparently he hasn’t tried these headphones. Sound quality is also amazing. Hearing parts of my favorite songs I’ve never heard before. Great at balancing two different inputs. There is some audio lag/sync issues on my Nintendo switch.

Posted .Hi baronspeerzy, Thank you for this amazing review! We're very happy to hear you like the industry-leading noise cancelling feature, ambient mode. and excellent sound quality of your new Sony headphones. Note: Playback of audio/music on the BLUETOOTH device is delayed compared to that on the main unit due to the characteristics of BLUETOOTH wireless technology.
Tip: If your handheld console, TV, etc., has a function that adjusts the delay between the picture and sound, use it for adjustment. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the device.
You can also connect the headphones to your device via headphone cable to eliminate the audio delay.

Simply Awesome Get these Cans!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok I own Beats StudI 3, Power Beats 3, Bowers & Wilkins PX7 and P5, Bose Soundsport, Bose Buds and now Sony M4 and I'm shocked how great the sound. The Ultimate Test Luther Vandross - Evergreen, Impossible Dream and of course Superstar (Live). Wow found app setting on the equalizer "Voice" it reduces the instruments and elevates the vocals - Simply Smooth; Take it to another level set the EQ on "Excited ." Prepare to be blown away. They run close with the Jabra but because the are over the ear better reduction of noise.

Very good buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is really good and the multi-connecting really helps. The battery is really good. The noise cancellation and mics are top class. Someone looking for premium headphones can go for these. I think the main con will be the speak to chat. I always keep it disable. Overall it's been more than a month and I am really happy with the product.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice and comfortable, wish the earmuffs wouldn't produce as much heat as it does but I guess that is standard across most headphones. Great audio quality. Battery life wasn't as long as claimed. Ran out of battery multiple times after 10 hours of use.

Great for sensory control!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As someone who has issues with auditory sensory overload, noise control is very important to me and I didn’t feel like my old headphones were quite doing the job so I was on the hunt for a new pair. I had decided on these after comparing reviews, specs and details on these, the Solo Pros and Bose headphones. One of their best features in conjunction with the noise control is the sliding scale that can let’s you choose how much background noise you’re comfortable with in any given situation. You’re also able to connect to several Bluetooth situations at once which I love. The only thing holding me back, to be perfectly honest, was the price so I kept my eye on them waiting for a solid sale price and I’m glad I did!
