Great Noise-Cancelling, Great Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these as a replacement for my wired Bose QC 25s, after trying the new Bose 700. Those were uncomfortable tight and the touch panel didn’t work well, but these have been perfect in every way. Sound is good, better is amazing, and the software features are really nice - I love the “use palm to cover right side and turn off noise cancelling to hear something” feature, and I use it all the time. I would absolutely recommend these.

Great Noise Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought thesw for work from home when my family is around. They try to be quiet, but there are just constant minor distraction sounds anyways. These headphones are perfect for this. Synched with computer and MS Teams real easy. Can use with just NC function. Or can us use with NC and soft music to concentrate, or whatever helps you concentrate. With the NC on and music on low volume I find it real easy to focus on work. Music sounds great louder too if I am just listening to music.

Feelin Blue
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.XM4. I have the XM2 and XM3, so I knew I would like this. I handed down the other two to my wife and son when I got this. The main reason for getting these is the ability to pair to two devices. I decided on the Blue color (XM2 were tan and XM3 were silver) I think the color is MUCH better in person. The copper "SONY" accents make these pretty classy looking. The case color matches the blue and the Zipper pull is the copper color. If you haven't had the Sony before, you cant go wrong. Price is better than Bose....and so is the sound and noise cancelling.

Great headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality, blue tooth connectivity and battery life are excellent. The software features are very useful. But 3.5mm headphone jack is not 4-pole so you cant use the built in microphone through a cable.

Great performance, not as comfortable as I'd like.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've tried a lot of headsets in my day. I used the Bose headsets for a long time, it was not too bad. The Bose headset lasted a long time, but they new Sony ones are way better in terms of performance. Why not give it 5 stars. For one the ear holes are small for my ears and the noise-cancelling could be better. The sound is awesome, but for long flights your ears will hurt a bit and the you will still hear people snoring next to you.

Posted .Hi JDiaz, Thanks for sharing your experience with us. While we're glad you are happy with the sound quality, we're quite sad that you are not fully impressed with the noise-canceling feature. With the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, check the setting of [Ambient Sound Control]. If it is set to [Wind Noise Reduction] or [Ambient Sound], the effect of noise canceling is reduced. Set it to the noise canceling mode. Please check this link for more details:
