Recommend these to everyone
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife bought a pair of these for me for Christmas years ago and she's been jealous ever since as she felt the sound quality blew her Bose headphones out of the water. Noticed these were on sale this month and decided to surprise her with the gray pair - she couldn't be happier.

Great Noise-Cancelling, Great Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these as a replacement for my wired Bose QC 25s, after trying the new Bose 700. Those were uncomfortable tight and the touch panel didn’t work well, but these have been perfect in every way. Sound is good, better is amazing, and the software features are really nice - I love the “use palm to cover right side and turn off noise cancelling to hear something” feature, and I use it all the time. I would absolutely recommend these.

Great product, crummy app
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like these headphones, noise canceling is great, comfort is great, but only rated them 4/5 because of the app. Works great most of the time, but for a top of the line product the app that controls them shouldn’t be so glitchy

Feelin Blue
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.XM4. I have the XM2 and XM3, so I knew I would like this. I handed down the other two to my wife and son when I got this. The main reason for getting these is the ability to pair to two devices. I decided on the Blue color (XM2 were tan and XM3 were silver) I think the color is MUCH better in person. The copper "SONY" accents make these pretty classy looking. The case color matches the blue and the Zipper pull is the copper color. If you haven't had the Sony before, you cant go wrong. Price is better than Bose....and so is the sound and noise cancelling.

Best headphones on the market*
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I had the XM3s and I loved those headphones. Used them every day while I was on the computer. Only reason why I upgraded was because I had the protection plan, so doing a swap was no problem. Got these boys on and the sound is great, the new proximity sensor is an amazing add, the ANC is the best, Bluetooth 5.0 is a must nowadays, connecting to two devices is so handy, the Type-C charging is top tier, and having access to either Google Assistant or Alexa is beyond convenient. The reason why there's an asterisk in my title is because of comfort. Because of my weirdly shaped head and ears, these headphones are not comfortable. And I only had them on for the evening. I can't see myself using these guys from the morning until three in the morning. No way. It's a shame, too. I was extremely excited to own these but alas, they are not meant for me. Comfort aside, they're still stellar headphones. Nothing beats the ANC
