Great sounding headphone set.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality head set at an even better price. Using these as a replacement for the headset the dog ate. Great sound quality. The only downside so far is the limited talk time of about 3 hours, but these were never meant to be a headset to begin with. Great for going on a walk or just listening to Pandora though.

Great ANC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These certainly are not the best sounding headphones on the market, but they probably are the best sounding headphones with active noise canceling. Now, don’t expect them to completely block out all noises, that’s not what ANC is even supposed to do. However, these are excellent at canceling out background noises, like low rumbles and stuff like that. If you’re listening to music or a video or something, then that noise plus the ANC will probably block out those other sounds anyway. I used these while I was gaming and I was never once disturbed. The only downside is that they’re a little bulky for my taste, but that’s just an issue with all over the ear headphones.

it is a steal for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is much better than some of the high end headphones found in Magnolia. Very good warm bass but it overshadows the high frequencies. The sound may sound muddled. But for the price, it is worth like a steal. Surely, it is very highly recommended for the price.

Slight improvement over last gen Sony XM3
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ANC on XM4 seems to be slightly improved over XM3, especially in the bass region. Otherwise nearly identical to XM3 in sound, fit & finish, and tech- which is a good thing!

Best in everything except comfort
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is about a 4 out of 5. If you have music playing then you cant hear outside world which I like most so 5/5. If you want to hear outside turn on ambient sound. I am not fan of Sony due to their customer service or I would say I had bad experience in India where they ask me for repair cost in warranty product(no physical damage). But based on reviews I found this Mx4 is best suitable for me and I found it perfect. These are not comfortable somehow to me. My ear starts paining after 1-2hrs of usage and I thought I will get used it by now(4 month later) but same issue. I do have Sony's MDR-XB950B1 and used them for 3 years and they are extremely comfortable and I never had problem using them long hours. But these MX4 are not that comfortable, they feel comfortable when you use them for couple of songs but if you are travelling and using more than hr or you might feel that pain or may be its just me.
