Love Sony's Sound Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the features on thus noise cancelling headphone. It offers many of the same features as Apple and Bose. I've always been satisfied with Sony's sound quality. They're also comfy, even after hours of editing photos, and the grey color matches much of my equipment which give it aesthetic bonus points.

My experience.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Headphones allow you to hear things in certain songs you wouldn't be able to do on regular everyday headphones. These have the comfort of everyday headphones, however, the immersion within the headphones itself is an experience—a unique one.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable, noise cancelling did the job well. The sound quality is great, but the bass is a little bit too much for me personally, but it supports the Sony's app so it was fine. The DLSS Extreme didn't really "enhance" my experience, but it might be that I'm used to many kinds of headphones and compressed audio. Overall, it's a great product, but too many features that you won't even use.

Great Headphones, thankful for customization
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are fantastic headphones. The best sounding wireless Bluetooth headphones I have personally ever used. The sound quality is extremely detailed and enhances the overall listening experience. Applicable whether you are listening to compressed music files or even more so demonstrates attention to detail with less compressed, higher quality music files, such as on Tidal or Apple Music. The immersive capability with 360 degree sound and/or Dolby atmos is incredible. I hadn’t listed to roses by the chain smokers in years due to saturation/overexposure, and I listened to its 360 version thru Tidal and it sounded like a whole new experience with the nostalgia of first discovering the song. The noise cancellation is truly impeccable - you quite literally hear nothing outside your own world it creates. The ambient noise feature is quite definitive while listening to music, podcasts, etc. layering it on top of what’s going on around you - helpful in for when you’re in the office. The headphones app is absolutely necessary in my opinion as you can customize characteristics and more importantly disable any features that aren’t to your liking. Personally, voice to chat; ambient sound control; among a few others come to mind which I deactivated. They would interrupt or fluctuate the listening process. The ambient sound control seemed interesting from a conceptual standpoint, but it really tries too hard in my opinion. Scaling between full ambient sound and noise cancellation - now the scale is great, the mind of its own - take a lap buddy, you're not that guy.

An Unplanned Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these because my old Sony headphones broke. It was an accident. They were in excellent condition and worked fine. It's just not as comfortable anymore, and I really don't want to tape it up. I will give it away to anyone who could use it. Anyway, the new headphones work fine, and it's taking a little getting used to with the lack of controls and the swiping nonsense. I prefer the controls on the headphones. I will get used to it, I suppose. It's a personal thing; I have nothing against the sound quality or the improved noise cancellation. That is a plus, as it is way better! Minus one star because I do not like the swiping.

Best Headphones I've Had
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are awesome! Best ones I have had for years. Noise cancelling is excellent, there are tons of options and features too! I don't know if I would consider myself an audiophile but I can say that the sound quality is top notch. If you are picky about good sound. These are worth it. And the headphones are comfortable even while wearing glasses!

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome sound quality. Noise canceling is the best i have come across. I love the fact that i can fold them up and travel with them. Battery life is insane, took them to work and used them for four eight hour days. Towards the end of the fourth i got the low battery warning. Overall very happy with my purchase.

Perfect for people with sensory issues!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1,000/10!!! I would 100% recommend. I was between this and the AirPod Pros, and I love these. They’re so comfortable and they’re more affordable. I’ve had them for almost 2 years now, and I still love them so much. Their battery life and sound quality is still good, but my favorite is the noise cancellation and the comfort. It fits around my ears instead of on them, and the ear pieces are so plush and comfortable. As someone who has sensory issues, these are perfect. I got them for grad school and continue to use them often.

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.
