Customer Ratings & Reviews

Seriously, way better than expected. I trialed the AirPods Pro, returned them after a long flight, and the XM5, also returned them. The xm4s are the whole package. -Great compact, semi hard, case because the headphones fold. -Excellent Bluetooth connectivity in my experience (iPhone/Mac) user. -Excellent sound that is tunable through the app. (Missing on apple) -light weight. -noise pass through is the one minor thing that almost as good as apple. I don’t use it much, so I don’t care. The noise cancellation is just as good, if not better than the AirPods Max and xm5s. The xm5s can be buggy in my experience. From a pros/cons side of things the XM4, beat the xm5s, Bose, and AirPod max’s by a lot. Even if they were all priced the same, I’d still chose the xm4 it’s a bonus that you can find them cheaper than their rivals. Way to go Sony! Don’t get rid of this model.

Tremendous especially for the price. Don’t need to upgrade to the version 5 or 6 if you can still get these. Comfortable. Don’t smudge. Clear sounding. Noise canceling is insane. You’ll hear only your inner thoughts lol.

Great noise canceling. Able to connect to multiple devices at the same time. Great sound. Comfortable to where for extended hrs. Long battery life. Able to be used wired or over Bluetooth. Only notable complaint is it feeling a little more like its made out of plastic, giving a cheaper feel when compared to previous models as they are very lightweight. They have been well worth it so far

Amazing ANC and sound quality. Even provides a great feel and comfort in the flight to reduce a lot of noise and enjoy the music

Incredible noise cancelling abilities, very comfortable on my ears and flexible, comes with a case, USB-C charging cable and has great base. Not perfect but great.

Great set of headphones. It's everything I've ever wanted but couldn't talk myself into getting. I finally decided to splurge on myself and boy am I glad I did. Noise canceling, comfort, and sound are all fantastic, while the battery is spectacular. I was iffy on the touch controls but they are super easy, work exceptionally well, and are are simple to use. Absolutely love them.

To set context, these are my first pair of Over the Ear headphones. Normally I use in ear for working out and moving around. I bought these on a whim at a great price and I don't even begin to second guess the cost. I'm not an audiophile, for me these headphones are crisp and clear, the bass is solid and I haven't been able to compare the noise cancellation. My favorite feature is being able to connect to two devices, being home and being able to put these on and still get messages from my phone or doorbell is awesome! I have received good feedback from people who I talk to on the phone - a huge plus!! For someone who likes music, and can wear these (comfortably) for hours at a time - one of the best purchases for 2020. I'm still using the in-ear for workouts, but these for everything else. Buy them on sale and don't spend the money for anything more expensive - just pick a color. I bought silver thinking it is different, and since they are on my head I don't care - but when I look at them on the stand - I wished I would have picked the dark blue. These are everything positive that other reviewers have mentioned. Other items such as quality are on point and no issues, I haven't had a chance to run out the battery - but appreciate they are USB-C, so I can use the same charger as my other equipment. Buy them!

I've purchased these headphones twice now. The first set lasted a couple of years' worth of heavy use. I love that I can pair it with two devices. The noise cancelling is decent. It recharges VERY quickly in only 10-15 minutes. The app on the android (my phone) is a better than the one for apple devices (my iPod). The second pair tends to have a few minor issues, but I am still happy with them in comparison to if I went with the next model. I had also looked at a few other companies, but found this set was still the best value for your money (on sale) and functionality.

Woah, you need these in your life you want to listen to music that has a crisp sound to it. It’s very easy to hear everything down to the beat in the song with these. Even if you listened to a song in repeat, and felt you listened to it well. Truth is, you didn’t listen to the song well, UNLESS you listened to it with these bad boys. Essentially the questions that are most important, is the battery life good? I could listen to these for 4/5 days and still not having to charge them. Does the sound leak? Yes it does. But it’s very minimal unless you put it at a high volume regularly to blow out your ear drums you will have no problem with sound leaking. Does it work after months of having? Yes it does, BUT there are some points where the headphones stop working or pause when you’re listening, like the audio will go in and out after a while.

Got these headphones about a month ago and they have been great. Battery life is a strong point as well comfort and all the different configuration options just confirm these are top of the line. Sound quality is also outstanding. Got them in blue (only on Best Buy) and they price matched them almost no questions asked. Couldn't be happier with the product and the store.

Sony headphones are awesome, sound and battery use are awesome

I honestly loved the sound quality imbedded within these when I had them. My partner has her pair still & I try to snag em from here when they’re not in use. If you’re looking for a great pair of headphones for your commute or just mere enjoyment of music, podcast, heck even tiktoks lol these are a really solid pair of headphones. I will say that when using them to speak up while using the mic as it picks up the voice fairly low & at a decent quality. It’s no shure mic but it gets the job done & battery on these is fantastic, no problems whatsoever for myself & everyone else i know who also owns a pair. App is user friendly and lots of configuring can be done, there’s literally a setting for everyone! Enjoy.

Did a lot of research before buying the xm4’s. Really like the sound quality and adaptive sound. Very comfortable for wearing on long haul flights. Plus a battery that lasts there and back. They do make my ears sweaty after a while. All in all like these better than Apple AirPod Max, Bose or Beats.

Great sound, good battery life, noise canceling is up there with the best of the best. Found them on sale for $178. These XM4’s sound considerably better than 90% of the headphones in this price range. I can comfortably wear these for hours on end. If you value sound quality, noise canceling, battery life, and comfort you cannot go wrong with these headphones.

Had the first gen Sony ear headphones from years ago but wow they have come a LONG way. These things have incredible base, crisp sound, a great app that allows you to customize sound and control settings as well as are super comfortable. Lastly noise cancelling is out of this world and invaluable for flying.

Excellent headphones. Much better than their newer sibling. I tried the XM5s for a few weeks as well and the only thing I found to be a little better was the quality of sub bass. However it was outweighed by the horrible comfort of the XM5 touching my ears constantly, and I returned them. Enter the XM4, in my opinion the finest in Sony's wireless full size headphone lineup, excellent sound signature with lots of tuneability thanks to the Sony Headphones app. Very versatile for a variety of genres and far better noise cancelling than the XB900 I had previously. Best of all the XM4 comfort is great too. A little shallow in the earcups but nothing a little readjustment of the headphones can't fix. And nothing like the awful XM5s with their paper thin earpads! Long live the XM4!

I did like the design and evrything, the nooce cancelling it's really accurate and the accuracy of the sound it's exccelent

After a lot of research, I decided to buy these Sony's. They are probably the best headset I've ever had and I couldn't be happier! The sound is amazing and they are super comfortable. I wear them while I'm working at my desk as well as my nightly jogs, and they're perfect. Also, they're super easy to clean and fold back up into their carrying case for storing or traveling. I am so happy with this purchase!

I bought these headphones to block out noise while studying. They do a great job and blocking out most noise. If it isn't too loud I can use them without music and block out all noise with just the noise canceling on. If people are close to me talking I will put on some low volume music and that does the trick. You can also just hold your hand up to your right ear piece or just begin talking to temporarily pull in ambient sound. It actually listens to your surroundings and plays it in your headphones, so it doesn't sound muffled and there is no need to remove your headphones just to have a quick conversation. Quality is great as well as sound quality. I have never measured tye battery length, but i regularly use them for long days of studying for multiple days without charging them. They can be charged while wearing them though, so you are set either way. They do have dome 360 surround sound feature, that sounded really great in the demo. Just know that it only works with certain apps that I had never heard of before. I use spotify and it is not compatible. Hopefully it will be someday, but i am perfectly happy qith the sounds quality as is.

Sound quality is great. The noise cancellation is not quite as good as my Bose QC35IIs, but the sound quality is better and makes up for it. The touch controls work flawlessly. They’re also very comfortable and I’m getting about 25 hours of use with noise cancellation before having to recharge. I’m happy with them.
