These phones deliver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones deliver. Touted as the best NC phones, the XM4s did not disappoint. The freq response is wide (even wider if you run them wired) and the noise cancellation exceeded my expectations and my experience. While the Bose 700s are good, the XM4s are truly better. I did find them to be a little more brassy than the XM3s. My only disappointment was that the ear cushions are not thick enough to contain some of the higher volumes and someone sitting next to me can hear what I am listening to. But sound construction, wide freq response, full featured, phenom NC. What’s not to like?

Great noise cancelling, some annoying features
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They have very good noise cancelling and good sound quality. They have swipe controls for volume, pausing, playing, and skipping songs. These controls work fine for the most part but can be annoying. The voice which lets you know when the battery is low and when it turns on/off is a little loud. It is also a little annoying to pair them with other devices because you need to turn it off and back on to do so. The noise cancelling and sound quality make these headphones worth the money, in my opinion. Far more comfortable and effective than others I have used.

Great sound but that price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony always does great with sound coming from their headphones. This pair is no different. And the color navy blue makes it a great catch for me. The price is a little too stiff for me, but when they go on sale, i would jump on it ASAP.

Love these headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Basically it came down to 3 players in the market for over-ear. Sony vs Apple vs Bose After multiple reviews on YT and other tech pages, I went with Sony over AirPod Max for 2 basic reasons: 1) Price 2) Package Sony are literally half the price of APM!!! Also, it comes with carrying case and other things whereas Apple comes with a funny looking pouch(?!?) and exposes the softest part of the device! Sound is great and the companion app is great too, have put in some hours on it already. Cups were initially heavy on my ears but its getting more and more comfy daily.
