Great ANC Headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just purchased these to go along with my AirPods Pro as I wanted an over the ear headphone. So far the sound quality and comfort have been exactly as expected. Still waiting to see how I feel about battery life because it’s not holding a charge as long as I thought it would. I have used a total of probably 5-6 hours and went from 100% to 30% in that time. I couldn’t justify the price of the AirPods Max and so far I have not been disappointed with my purchase.

Softest, Most Comfortable to Wear
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wear glasses, and find most standard headphones uncomfortable. These are excellent for form fitting softness. The sound quality is great. My only issue with them is the headphones smell like chemicals. That's a deal breaker for me, but not for my spouse.

Not the newest, but the best?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These XM4's are just what I needed. My XM3's are dying and the XM4's have updated Bluetooth to allow for multiple device connections. These may be two versions old, but the XM5/6's do not fold up as compactly and, as reviews point out, the headband may be slightly tighter. ANC is great and the sound is balanced.

Absolutley amazing sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted these headphones for a while because my work changed to work from home, my cheap headphones finally broke so I ordered these finally when they were on sale. I wish I would have bought them a year ago, they sound absolutely amazing, I was worried because I listen to a lot of metal and usually the bas isnt there in cheaper headphones, but these sound amazing. I highly recommend them.

Sony XM4
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is great. The fit leaves a little to be desired. This is the first headphones I’ve had where it feels like either my head is to small or my ears are set to high up. On all my old headphones the ear-cups needed to be adjusted down. On this set the ear pieces are all the way up and the band over the top of my head really doesn’t touch anything. Again though they sound good and have a decent play time whether using noise canceling or not. The only way I would recommend is to physically sit and wear them for an extended time. These are over the ear headphones and I initially thought they felt good. It was a little later I figured out they really didn’t git as well as I originally thought.

Audiophile Wonder
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony is known for high end audio, and this is no exception! Even better than the MX3, the bass is really deep, and the high end is clear with easily discernible vocal notes. You can hear instruments individually, not all meshed together. This really makes a difference in your enjoyment of music! I was considering the Bose 700, but Sony offers so much more flexibility on their app to let you control the performance. You won't be disappointed in this choice!
