XM4
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item is super worth buying! The noise cancellation is unlike other headphones as it doesn't have a weird affect on your ears. The sound quality is also exceptional. The only drawback I see is the volume isn't as long as some other headphones.

Travel? Hate noise? Get these!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you do a lot of traveling get these. The NC is top and the sound quality is great. Not audiophile quality, as your listening through Bluetooth. I haven't heard through a DAC yet. just enjoy tuning out the world on long flights. Mic for the phone is above average.

My Favorite Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my favorite headphones I have ever owned. They work great for listening to music or audio books. They are also great when I have a meeting so I don't have to use the computer speakers. They fit great and don't make my ears feel gross.

sound options great/ NC not quiet as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound choice is amazing. The vocal is great. The extra bass boost is also great for ear. However, the Nosie cancelling feature is not as good as advertised. I believe Bose NC 700 noise cancelling level of 10 is better than this. I already compared this in NYC subway. Bose noise cancelling is way better. However, you can choose sound options on SONY through app.

Posted .Hi sonyheadphones,
We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that the noise canceling function is not living up to your expectations. Make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance.
The noise canceling function is effective in low-frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. Check that the Adaptive Sound Control is turned off. Check the setting of the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. When the Adaptive Sound Control is turned on, the noise canceling function may become insufficient.
Sony takes all feedback seriously. Rest assured that this will help us improve our products. Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony.

Great!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I listen to pornography while I work. It helps me focus. Only thing I hate is having to wear a diaper. The headphones are very beautiful like that girl who looked at my yesterday at Best Buy. I think she likes me. Mine have the reverse noise cancelling. Nobody can hear what I’m listening to. Great!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding purchase, these have been the standard for a few years and perform as well as the newer XM-5 without a few of the bells and whistles. But at 1/2 the price.

A real stand out.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The glowing reviews from audio magazines are well justified. I've never owned a wireless set that reproduced sound so well. I don't generally gush over things in reviews but Sony has a real accomplishment here. It hearkens back to the audiophile reputation Japanese companies had through the 80s.

Best Headphones I’ve Ever Had
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are absolutely great. I just picked them up today and used them, and the audio and noise cancelling quality is incredible. The app is also really easy to use. I was gonna get the Bose 700’s at first, but I chose these instead, and I am not disappointed. I highly recommend these.
