Best in everything except comfort
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is about a 4 out of 5. If you have music playing then you cant hear outside world which I like most so 5/5. If you want to hear outside turn on ambient sound. I am not fan of Sony due to their customer service or I would say I had bad experience in India where they ask me for repair cost in warranty product(no physical damage). But based on reviews I found this Mx4 is best suitable for me and I found it perfect. These are not comfortable somehow to me. My ear starts paining after 1-2hrs of usage and I thought I will get used it by now(4 month later) but same issue. I do have Sony's MDR-XB950B1 and used them for 3 years and they are extremely comfortable and I never had problem using them long hours. But these MX4 are not that comfortable, they feel comfortable when you use them for couple of songs but if you are travelling and using more than hr or you might feel that pain or may be its just me.

Slight improvement over last gen Sony XM3
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ANC on XM4 seems to be slightly improved over XM3, especially in the bass region. Otherwise nearly identical to XM3 in sound, fit & finish, and tech- which is a good thing!

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had some beats studios from a long time ago that was not performing like it used to. I did a bit of research and these headphones were a great upgrade. The sony app that the headphones require is user friendly and will turn on only when the headphones are. Noise cancellation is awesome. Lots of other great features but it would make this review into a story. I would highly recommend anyone that is in the market to try these bad boys.

Fantastic headphones

Great headphones, but has issues
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was able to snag this at a discount, and truth be told, they sound phenomenal. Once you set up the pairing app and tweak the equalizer settings to your liking, they're easily the most enjoyable headphones to listen to music or watch videos through. I've had them for about three months now and things have been greatup unil today, which is what is keeping me from giving these a full 5/5 rating is that they've developed a weird crackle/static noise in the right ear. I'm not sure what's causing the issue as I have been taking exetremly good care of the headphones considering the price I paid for them. It's a shame for such a pricey product for it to exhibit these issues, maybe I got a faulty pair. I'm not sure how to fix the problem at home and SONY hasn't responded to my inquiry about the issue. It also seems to be a common issue with the XM headphones, as far as I could find online, many people were plagued with the same problem on the XM3s.

Comfortable and sound great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones sound amazing and are very comfortable to wear. However, I am disappointed that it doesn't block out as much noise as I expected. Not any better than my previous ear buds. But they do sound a lot better and I'll continue to use them!
