Very good product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product. The sound quality is unmatched. I am very pleased with this product. My only critique involves the ear cup “fingertip” controls: they just aren’t as responsive consistently as I would like. At times they simply “refuse” to respond with the desired action.

Audio Excellence
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had the XM2's and the XM3's and while they're all incremental upgrades. The XM4's are by far the best ANC headphones on the market, especially at $279. These headphones easily compete with the offerings from BOSE and have a wonderful sound signature. The midnight blue option provides a high end classy look. I use these for evening listening of a wide variety of genres. The ANC is excellent to the point I've not heard someone yelling my name from just one room over. The ANC is fully adjustable so you can set yours so you can hear someone talking to you. But to cut to the chase, great headphones, worth every penny.

New features not that amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound and ANC are great. Switching between devices when connected to multiple is still very sketchy. Random disconnects even at close range. The mute-when-talk feature sounds great, but not if you find yourself singing along to your music at all. Not really worth the upgrade from the XM3's

Posted .Hi Sneake, we're glad that you like the sound quality and noise canceling function. Make sure to update the software of the headphones (via Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. You do have the option to turn off the Speak-to-Chat function by holding 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel. When using the multipoint function, make sure to turn off or pause the music playback of the device that is not in use. You may refer to this link for more information:

Recommend these to everyone
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife bought a pair of these for me for Christmas years ago and she's been jealous ever since as she felt the sound quality blew her Bose headphones out of the water. Noticed these were on sale this month and decided to surprise her with the gray pair - she couldn't be happier.
