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.

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?

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.

Sony WH4x
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice wireless headphones. The sound quality is very good. There is a Sony App that allows you to adjust the EQ and that has made the sound profile very good. You can also adjust some of the features, like if the headphones go silent when you start to talk Overall these are near audiophile headphones with very competent active sound suppression. The only downside for me is that the ear pads are a little small and tend to get warm. They are not water resistant and the newer 5 series have better sound suppression But is you are cost sensitive these are a great buy when they are on sale

Audiophile's delight...Superb!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm an old school audiophile and did research before buying. In addition to high quality audio I wanted maximum noise cancellation. Bose is a gold standard in audio and their noise cancelling technology is highly rated so I tested their headphone first. The Sony seems to be on par with the Bose for less money. I can find no fault with these. They are comfortable, great build quality, impressive sound, and excellent noise cancellation. I wish they had volume control on the headset, but other than that, I would highly recommend.
