Best headphones I’ve ever tried out!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these as a gift for my mother as she does her bible studies online. I just wanna say all the hype behind the noise-canceling on these headphones is legit. As soon as you put them on, almost everything goes completely quiet. I reminds me of those hearing test headphones that do those low tone beeps lol, its that good! Oh, and they sound really good too and have a nice build quality!

Great!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was debating between these and Apple AirPods Pro 2, and Bose QuietComfort. I’m glad I went with over the ear headphones and chose Sony. The sleek finish and the headset touch pad on the right ear is so handy. Sound quality is great and noise cancelling is far better than Apple AirPod Pro 1.

Great sound, great noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m blown away by the quality and the sound over previous generation Bose nc headphones and would recommend on that. There’s a lot of extra features and controls that I’m not using, which probably went into the the high price of the headphones, oh well.

Came for the price, stayed for the sound.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price these really are great. Easy to travel with, calls and music sound great. Easy set up, what else do you want? Battery life us great for an 8hes work day, oy complaint is that when it warns you you have low battery....what it really means is you have less than 5 min. Minor complaint for an otherwise great set of headphones.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid sound. Easy on the ears. After spending hours on video calls, we needed a product that didn't make our ears hurt. Perfect choice. A little tricky to set up for video calls at first, but we figured it out.

Amazing!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used these headphones for a few weeks now and they're great. I had the Bose QC45 but decided to return those, as the XM4s were just better. They have more rich sound and more features. They also make the QC45 feel cheap in comparison. The only con is that the noise cancellation isn't as good as on the Bose. I also tried the XM5s recently and found that these sound better (and these fold inwards and have a nice case, the XM5s do not). To conclude, best purchase I've made in a while. I hope they'll last long.
