I love them. They are the best sound you can get for headphones that have all of the mobile friendly features that these have (Bluetooth, noise cancel, airplane adapter, mobile app with eq adjustments, multi device connections, nice travel case, wired & wireless). If you strictly want the best audiophile headphones you won’t find all of these features. With these features though, these are the best sound quality cans you can get. Maybe not out of the box, but with eq adjustments you can fine tune in the mobile app. You will NOT be disappointed by these. - budget audiophile hobbyist who uses these for best sound quality while on the go.

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.

Great over-ear headphones
Brisa Posted
I enjoy listening to music with these but it's true that after a while your head starts to hurt a little because of the band and the ear cushions get kind of hot but overall these are great headphones with active noise cancelling literally you can't hear anything outside and I love it when going on the bus.

Great Headphones, Not So Great for Video Editing
rustinv Posted
Excellent noise cancelling, many sound optimizing options, and they're very comfortable to wear. Great for listening but not great for editing because the bass is amplified so you won't get a natural sound. Using them on bluetooth with my wireless mouse and keyboard created lag between some function of my laptop, like adjusting my computer volume.

Switched from Bose to Sony
JerseyMike Posted
Stellar sound quality and noise cancelling. Switched from Bose Quiet Comfort’s to the Sony XM4’s. Didn’t think I’d ever love another noise-canceling headphone as much as the QCs. These are amazing though. Great sound, battery life, quality.

Good for noise cancellation under three years
Chillymanny714 Posted
They lasted almost three years before a loud screech came through on the left ear cup. Great for noise cancellation especially if you want to go deaf haha but really they were good while they lasted. For $300 though I expected more
