Holy Sound Batman
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These came highly recommended to me, but that didn't even begin to do them justice. I nearly cried when I first put them on and heard the amazing soundscape they provide. The ANC is amazing, the full clarity of the range is mind-blowing, and they are comfortable enough for hours and hours of listening.

WH-1000XM4
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome sound. Battery last super longer than i expected. After, 3 days of not using, still charge same %, bought when it was discounted. You have to tweak the sound equalizer according to your listening pleasure, to get the best personal output. Owned for about a month, so far, it’s great.

Great sound and battery life
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and battery life seems good even after over a year of daily use. Wish I would have gone up to next model where you can connect to 2 Bluetooth and switch between. Only complaints are that when charging and using 3.5mm jack there is some feedback, and the rest pieces didn't allow much breathing for long use.

Best Ever
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Apple AirPod Max’s before these and hated them. Far too heavy, wouldn’t stay on my head and gave me headaches. These, however, are a dream! So comfortable, incredible audio, just a fantastic set of wireless headphones.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter wanted one and then I bought one about a week later. Yes they are expensive hence why the best buy credit card came in handy. I have always been a Bose kinda girl and never even tried Sony. EVER! I am not even a fan of the look but I am taking continuing education at the college and I like to study in the campus center and that place is so loud. The students are always yelling and while the amount of people help me stay focused the noise does not. These headphones are amazing they knock out all the noise. The really fun part is when you go to talk the music stops and you can hear the other people without having to remove them

The Best
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I swear by these headphones. I'm really bad at taking care of things, i've thrown these around so much especially since I work in a warehouse and move around so much they've definitely hit the ground a lot. I needed these because everything is so loud I rather listen to music. Plus they get really dirty so i wipe them cleaned every night and they still work through everything I put them through! The best part is the battery life I always get surprised when they tell me theyre going to die because it seems like I hardly charge them lol. If they ever stop working im pretty sure i'd just but another pair of these.

Birthday Gift for Myself
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am in love I treated myself to these for my birthday. It was a richer clearer sound. A single charge lasts awhile. My only complaint would be I also have Samsung buds pro, and i like that when i start talking it lowers the sound and starts back playing soon unlike these that take longer.

XM4’s are awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones. The sound it great. I had to use the eq to clear up a few things, and the app was kinda buggy until recently. Overall great value, and you will not be disappointed. I miss some of the functionality because I have an iPhone, but overall I’m happy with them. They do get warm around the ears after about an hour or so for me, but I have yet to find a super comfortable over the ear headphone. Don’t like the touch controls, or the custom button.

Good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found these headphones to be very comfortable. They work as advertised. The volume control on the right earcup needs a little work but they are quite satisfying. I would recommend them over the apple iPods max as the max is much heavier. The app works very well. Noise canceling is very good.
