Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.OH MY GOD. The music sounds soooo amazing. Listening to Washed Out makes me feel like I'm gravitating lol. These headphones are great. The main reason I bought these headphones is so I can connect to two devices. Connecting to 2 devices are a blessing because I'm on my laptop and phone all day and switching between the two without disconnecting on either is awesome. On my galaxy buds, I don't have to disconnect but I have to click on the Bluetooth on both devices to switch. With these, I don't have to. I'm using the free trial on Tidal and I listened to music with the 360 spatial audio. It sounded ok, but it's not that special to me. I still download my music (not tedious at all lol) so I will continue to use the app my music on and use Tidal until the trial runs out. The Tidal HIFI music doesn't have enough bass for me tbh. The touch controls are great. My only complaint is that I wish they were on both the left and right side. Maybe I just got spoiled with my Galaxy Buds or something, but for now just having touch controls on one side is kinda annoying. Long story short, these headphones are AMAZING and I'm glad I bought these while they were on sale.

Excellent headphones, defaults notwithstanding
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall an excellent pair of headphones. I was cautious about wireless headphones after using Audio-Technica M50Xs for about five years, but the sound quality with these headphones is almost indistinguishable from a wired connection. I was not a fan of the out-of-box sound setup, but the equalizer is very user-friendly and allowed me to quickly find the right balance for me. I strongly encourage anyone who uses these headphones to immediately go to the equalizer in the app, since the default sound setup is a little hollow and wet. The headphones have excellent battery life and hold a charge quite well; I use them for several hours a day and only need to charge once a week. The noise cancelling effect makes me a little dizzy so I appreciate the option to turn it down. I also appreciate that the effect turns off when the microphone detects that you are talking. My only real complaint, as before, with these headphones is that the defaults don't sound too great. The app offers wide customization, however, so it's not a big complaint at all.

Bought my Son a pair for MY birthday...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Happy owner of the WH-1000XM3 (and the WF-1000XM3 Earbuds). Best wireless headphones I have ever owned. I am sensitive to the "pressure" effect that some noise cancelling headphones can create - not a problem with the XMx's - and the sound is great! My Son hijacked my XM3s, so for MY birthday I bought HIM the XM4s, so I could have mine back - opting to keep the XM3s for myself due to the slightly longer reported battery life (I frequently travel internationally, and nothing sucks more than your headphones running out of charge mid flight!). My Son indicated equivalence of the XM3 & XM4 in most every way, with the XM4 seeing improvements in spatial imaging and bandwidth separation. He is also a fan of the sensors inside the ear cups that detect if you are wearing them or not, to extend battery life. Though I never experience any issues with the Bluetooth 4 in the XM3s, the XM4s are Bluetooth 5. Newer = better, right? (Side note - I had an issue with my WF-1000XM3 earbuds. Called Sony and they had me ship them back to them. 3 days later I had a brand new pair. Great Customer Support!)

Worth it but there are even options around!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound so good. Honestly the momentum 4’s have just a little bit more bass but these ones sound clearer on every aspect. For sale around black friday I got them for around $229 I believe which is a STEAL. I would invest in these honestly unless you have the money to get the XM5’s. Another cool thing about these is that they fold unlike the XM5’s. If you want a good pair of headphones I would go with these. You won’t be disappointed with the sound and bass. Also for more bass make sure you customize the equalizer on the app.
