Bad software, good hardware
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality headphones. Outdated software. Almost negative support from Sony. I had issues with this headset randomly turning the ambient mode on and off and Sony just said “get a different headset”. They don’t support the software nearly as much. Besides this the actual audio experience is very nice, comfortable and light headset with a nice rounded lower bass

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s good quality headphones for the price but after only having AirPods the connectivity does not work as well.

Excellent upgrade from XM3's.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Xm4's are an excellent upgrade from the XM3's. New motion detection sensor allows you to pick up music playback after you remove the headphones and put them on again. Noise cancellation is about 40% better, more isolated from environment. The only issues are that the bass is not as deep as the XM3's and the XM4 app is a little different then the XM3 app- the lack of sound position control and sorround (VPT) settings hinders the customization options.
