The Greatest Headphones ever created
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I honestly didn't know what to expect with the m4s. The last set of Sony headphones I had were the XB 950N1s. My older Sony headphones had lots of bass but the mid-range and vocals and highs were absolutely terrible. The enforce have blown my N1's out of the water! These are probably the best sounding headphones I've ever owned. They are also second to none for noise canceling. I would definitely recommend these doing one looking for a great set of headphones.
I would recommend this to a friendbest NC Headphones !
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is now my everyday Headphones!! NC is amazing, Sound quality is top notch. Touch interface is sometime a bit annoying but it will grow on you (still prefer physical buttons) It is light and comfy enough to stay on my head during 9to5 hours and extra. If you want to use this for mobile gaming , it works fine, I'm a hardcore player with PUBG mobile , this headset has been an extra help for my gameplay!

Amazing headphones
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Even better than the M2s that I had and that is saying something. I'm not an audiophile but these headphones give a slight improvement in sound quality, interesting features like the one that detects if you have the headphones off and pauses your music. It's pretty comfortable as well and the noise cancelling is really good for when I need to study. Overall, these are amazing headphones and the sale made it even better!

Hands down the best headphone on the market
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far, the best headphone on the market for it price range. Sony need to do more promotions for these headphone. Because the only reason I even known about these headphone is because it was compare to the new Apple headphone. Bose is good but it’s price range??? You better off buying two xm3. Xm3 is also good, this is better with the noise canceling and the headphone last a long time, it been 2 weeks now and it didn’t have to charge it yet.

Excellent but...
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best headphones I've worn. The sound is so clear and the bass is perfect where it doesn't muffled the music. The comfort is good but if you have them on at least 3 hours, your outside ears starts hurting in discomfort. The JBL under armour is the most comfortable. Battery life is very long. Overall everything is excellent.

Excellent noise canceling and super comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid headset. Great sound and the noise canceling is among the best I've used (compared to Bose and Sennheiser). Very comfortable and the fit sits right outside my ears. Pads can get a little sweaty during extended use, but that's a given with pleather pads. Love that the earcups fold down to sit flat. Build quality feels light, but sturdy if that's possible. USB-C charging is fast! Works well wired to a USB-C DAC for my iPad Pro, too!

||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These will change your life. If you don’t have super high quality speakers, and yea those are a lot more expensive, get these to start. You will be blown away. They give you super hearing powers when you cup your hand over one side. Connect great. Sony absolutely smashed this generation. You are seriously missing out if you do not have these. Battery has been great but who cares… the sound makes the world melt away.

Best noise cancellation over the ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best noise canceling over the ear headphones. It sounds great, comfortable for your ear and light weight. Case is convenient to travel with. The only issue I had “my ears gets hot after an hour or so” which is not comfortable for me. I don’t over the ear headphones are for me. 10/10

Pricey, but worth every penny !!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried the 1000xm3 and thought they were great. These are an improvement on an already awesome product. Haven't tested battery life, but i haven't had to charge them since i fully charged them last. The sound quality is amazing, noise cancelling is top notch!( I tried the bose 700's as well. Nice, but not as good as Sony.) I see why they call it industry leading! Haven't been this impressed with headphones for a long time!! Definitely wirth every penny!!
