I can drown out the demons
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I still think this product has the best noise-canceling in the market, and that's it. The sound is satisfactory but far from impressive. It will sound amazing to the average consumer, but if you are not the average consumer and listen to HIFI or use a streaming service like Tidal, the sound is average, even with the AUX cord. Yes, these do support LDAC as well, and it is the same story. The XM4s are aimed at consumers with the increased bass right out of the box. Make sure you wash the back of your ears extra well because of how sweaty you will get wearing these in the summer.

A must for students and anyone who likes quietness
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love these! I bought them for my class since I kept breaking my EarPods (wired). I highly recommend, especially for students. I had construction going on right outside my window during my lectures and the noise cancelling blocked out the noise allowing me to focus in class including exams! In some occasions I would used them to take naps while construction was still going outside and I was able to sleep comfortably. I consider these headphones to be my BEST investment.

Can you improve perfect?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Going from the XM3s to the XM4s, I cannot tell a difference. At the same time, the XM3s were the most perfect product I have ever bought. Therefore, this is also perfect. I don't like how Sony has treated the newer versions of the XM series, and this was the last of its kind. Huge fan of the XM3 sequel.

Best headphones ever!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worth every penny spent on these headphones!!! The only thing I would like to see change is they don’t come with a charging block (not a big deal), the usb cord is SUPER short, and for the money you would think they would have a nicer case. All nit picking stuff. That’s how AMAZING these headphones are!!! The headphones themselves are hands down the best headphones I have ever owned and in my humble opinion the best on the market. The sound quality is AWESOME and the noise canceling is AMAZING. They even canceled out the noise of a concrete saw cutting through 12” and 14” of concrete. Like they worked better than ear plugs!!! Highly recommend!!!
