Top rated in my book
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are light weight and mostly plastic, however the quality seems good. The sound is truly exceptional. These are wireless and connects to devices via blue tooth. They use a downloaded app that allows you to adjust settings including EQ to your liking. These are the best headphones I've owned. I don't advise wearing at the gym since they'll make you feel warm quickly. I'd buy again in a flash.

Great ANC Headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just purchased these to go along with my AirPods Pro as I wanted an over the ear headphone. So far the sound quality and comfort have been exactly as expected. Still waiting to see how I feel about battery life because it’s not holding a charge as long as I thought it would. I have used a total of probably 5-6 hours and went from 100% to 30% in that time. I couldn’t justify the price of the AirPods Max and so far I have not been disappointed with my purchase.

Sony Vs Apple
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great! Noise cancellation is amazing. I picked them up for sale and now I got my dad some for the original price. They are the older versions apparently but I think they are in competition with the Apple Max’s I previously used for sure

Sony XM4s
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After almost a year of ownership and constant use 10+ hours a day for school, work and so on: I want to say that the battery life is insane, lasting all day and sometimes 3 days of heavy use. Charges fast but could be faster. Noise cancelling is way too good.

XM4 > any other headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are way better than AirPods Pro, Beats Studio and AirPods Max are too overrated and overpriced. Offers better sound quality and headphone itself from all of those including XM5, not really worth upgrading to the new ones plus you save $50. Not much of a difference XM5 from XM4, also XM5 feel cheaper quality. Just buy these.

Sony XM4
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is great. The fit leaves a little to be desired. This is the first headphones I’ve had where it feels like either my head is to small or my ears are set to high up. On all my old headphones the ear-cups needed to be adjusted down. On this set the ear pieces are all the way up and the band over the top of my head really doesn’t touch anything. Again though they sound good and have a decent play time whether using noise canceling or not. The only way I would recommend is to physically sit and wear them for an extended time. These are over the ear headphones and I initially thought they felt good. It was a little later I figured out they really didn’t git as well as I originally thought.
