Good job guys & excellent performance. Highly recommended!!!

Amazing Headphones - You won't regret it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones by Sony! I had the lower model before this and debated spending more money for the upgrade and really glad I did. Comes with a nice case for storage and they're extremely durable! I workout about 5 days/week and they are used every time I'm in the gym. Excellent noise cancelation quality and so easy to adjust your equalizer as well from the app. I love these and would absolutely recommend them!

Drop the coin, worth it
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dropped the coin for these to tune out the GF on a late night. They work better than expected. But I digress. I am a late 40s male and hard of hearing. At first I wanted to turn the volume up louder than these headphones would allow. Then I settled in. It's worth the wait. No outside nose from happy miss yappy pants. The music just sounded better. I've had these for almost a year now, and they work soo great that I kicked the GF, her un ambitioned kid and a yapppy dog out of my house. Yet, I still wear these headphones and enjoy the beautiful sound.

The best noise canceling headphones available
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best noise canceling over ear headphones hands down. I’ve tried all the big main manufacturers. Sony XM series are without a doubt the best ones out there for that money range. Highly recommend! My only complaint is that the new XM4 vs my old XM3 it seems as the battery does not last as long, but with a 30 hour battery life I’m still happy.

Best workout headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are the best for my workouts, if tuned right. Right when i got them, i immediately went to the EQ settings and tuned them to my liking. The noise cancelation is SO good! I cannot hear a thing outside the headphones when music is playing. But i DO recommend getting a 3rd party app like Wavelet to tune the EQ setting even further if you want to tune them to the best of their ability. Though i know some people really dont care about the audi quality if just wrking out.
