Best headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had xm3, airpods (1,2,pro), skullcandy anc crusher, beats. Xm4 better than any of them. Its the best headphone that you can expect. Deep bass and more clear sound. This is the update version of xm3. Very light weight and soft ear piece.

Worth every penny
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is amazing, making the price I paid (~$270) feel like a steal, after you try noise cancelling on this device you'll be crying like a spoiled baby whenever you have to bear with any other competing products. I have brought by XM3 which is last generation of this product onboard a few flights and it easily guaranteed me no more humming plane engines when I try to get some rest, I have faith this one will do a even better job. One complaint is that the multi point connection support that is exclusive to this new XM4, I find the setup process a little bit clumsy. I also hope the same functionality can be provided to earlier products such as XM3. Thank you Sony for bringing us such a fantastic product.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the noise cancellation. And when you take the headset off it pauses the music. If only the sound was louder . Me personally I want to sound like I have in AirPods . But these are great for people that don’t care about the loudness

Better than AirPods Max
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been looking for Noise Cancelling headphones for a while now and with Apple announcing their AirPods Max for $500, getting these were a no brainer. Noise cancelling is really good and the fit works for me. No complaints so far!

AMAZING
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LOVE LOVE LOVE these headphones! I've had them for a bit over a year and they work like they are brand new. At first, they can be a bit tricky to use if you don't find the right settings for you, but once you adjust the settings to your liking and fit, they're the best. I would recommend using and buying when going on walks and to study. The battery lasts so long which is such a plus! 100% charged can last a whole day and sometimes even up to more days depending on the use you give them. I recommend to give them a try!

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like these, especially since i swear by the competition. Only thing i don't really care for, my fault though, if i touch fold my arms or touch my headphones...they turn off. I know they do a bunch of things, I'll never try or need, so i kept that extra star! I get tired of restarting my headphones. Blame my age!
