Amazing on long flights!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used these headphones on my 15 hour flight to Johannesburg and they are amazing. You turn on noise cancellation and you can still kind of hear the sound of the plane. But when you put on some music and turn up the volume, you can't even hear the plane. I'm not even over exaggerating. The quality is decent. Nice plastics are used. It is a little pricey but depending on who you are, totally worth it.

Amazing Performance
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound occlusion is amazing with these headphones. I tried them out at the behest of an employee and was instantly converted. The sound quality and noise cancellation are incredible. I cannot recommend these enough. The only minor gripe is you need to tinker with the setting about auto-cancel of noise cancelling.

XM4 Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality and easy-to-navigate app UI, only complaint would be the control panel on the side of the headphones which are just hard to use at first and I find myself just manually skipping or controlling my music on my phone rather than actually using it.

Very well rounded
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really impressed with the sound quality. The noise canceling was what I expected outstanding. The quality of the sound was a pleasant surprise I knew the sounded good I listened to them in store but I had a chance to use them on a very long flight and I was amazed at the depth of the sound. I own a really good pair of B&W p7s and I really like their sound but the Sony set really were really quite spot on add the superior noise cancelling and this is my go to for using on flights.

Noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are headphones. They have noise canceling settings if you can leave them off. I don't know why I thought I would prefer these over ear buds puff any kind, but they lasted a little over a year before I gifted them to my uncle who does prefer headphones lover ear buds. I will say that in a crowded flight, it did a marvelous job blocking out noise. It recommends a specific Sony app for configuration which I think was dumb. It should either work, or not, but I'm not a musician, I'm a listener.

These things are just wonderful. the ability to be in your own world while listening to music or watching movies is unprecedented. the best time I had with this is when I took an air trip to Europe. the ability to not hear noise and just sleep was awesome... I also like the additional features in the cans such as the equalizer, push to talk and also multiple devices link up...

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great headphones. The ears are soft and comfortable for long periods. The noise cancellation is great, as is the ability to switch back and forth. Over ear headphones get warm on my ears quickly, but I don’t think that can be helped.

For your issue, having unusually dry skin can store static electricity in humans. A large amount of static electricity in the body and having contact with electrical devices at the same time can cause stress on the device and/or on your body. You can avoid this from happening by wearing clothing of natural materials that can't store static electricity.
Thank you so much for choosing Sony!
