Very sweet noise-cancellation.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only other time I've ever used a noise-cancelling headphones was at the shooting-range. It works similar but not that extreme. I used these to study in Starbucks during heavy traffic. It does well in blocking, enough to concentrate and still be able to faintly hear your named being called.

Great sound but cheap feel
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Of course the sound quality and noise cancellation on these headphones are top notch. You would expect nothing less from Sony. The only real issue I have with these is the build quality, the plastic housing gives them a real cheap feel. However, thus far they have shown no degradation or apparent wear and tear.

Decent
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy them. Price on sale was very good. The features and comfort are excellent. I find the sound could be more crisp. I'm not sure if I'm just having a hard time finding my preferred sound profile or if its the headphones. Adding base seems to wash out mid and high clarity.

Pricey, but so worth it
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Listen, if you are considering purchasing anything in this range, just do it. Blows away Beats.. I had the XM3's but returned them after trying the XM4. Better fit, microphones, and ability to connect to (2) bluetooth devices simultaneously. I use them for my iphone & Mac simultaneously, meaning i can easily switch back & forth. HTH

Amazing Noise cancelling wireless headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best in the market right now. Maybe the xm5 is better by a bit. Good for white noise, especially in aeroplanes. Apple ones might be better but then you'll need their whole $$$ setup / ecosystem.

Best ANC Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried the XM3s and loved them but ended up returning them because they couldn't connect to my laptop and my phone at the same time. The XM4s fixed that. Comfortable, best audio, easy to use. Slightly disappointed with the microsoft teams and zoom quality as it doesn't use the stereo codec but that could also be my fault.
