Excellent Choice for Music
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are fantastic for music! Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the microphone picks up background noise, so not useful for use in Skype/Zoom/Teams meetings. The touch controls take a little getting used to, but once comfortable with it they work perfectly. Upgraded from WH-1000XM2 which are great too - well worth the upgrade.

Posted .Hi Foxx, Thank you for sharing your experience. While we're glad you like the sound quality and battery performance, we're sad to hear that you have concerns with the fitting. This is not the usual case with our XM4. We recommend to try and adjust the headband of your XM4 to the desired fit but it will not hurt your head or ears. By this, the headphone will stay on your head. Enjoy and thanks for choosing Sony. -Craig

Great sound, horrible mic
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound and noise canceling are both amazing, so if you are planning on just using these to listen to music or watch movies they are a great choice. However the built in mic is horrible. My girlfriend said it sounded like I was in a tiny room and was talking quietly, so I ended up returning them to get a different pair.
