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

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.

Posted .Hi BalachandarsaiP,
Thanks for the feedback! While we're glad you like the incredible audio quality and most of the features, we regret to hear you find them uncomfortable during use. Our WH-1000XM4 has a slider that you can use to adjust the length of the headband to get the best fit and for comfortable listening experience.
Note: If you put on the headset without adjusting the slider, the headset may not be positioned properly on your head, resulting in discomfort or a weak noise canceling effect.
We have valuable information on how to properly wear headband headphones for maximum comfort, as well as insights into why you might experience discomfort in your ears while using them. For more details, please refer to the helpful link below:

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.

Great wireless headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. Great audio quality using my LG V35 as the source with LDAP Bluetooth. Noise canceling seemed OK but the real test will be when I fly with them next month. Haven't tried ising the wired connection yet. Only complaint that I am sure I can fix by tweaking the software is that the headphones are too sensitive and pause playing whenever you make a sound, even clearing your throat. I realize this is a feature to pause playing when you start a conversation but it is just too sensitive.

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.

I’m a klutz so i’ve dropped them a few times and they work amazingly!! Aesthetically so pleasing too, love the color. I just wish sony soundconnect was more consistent with actually working… but the headphones are great

Good Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Completely satisfied with purchase ! Noise canceling feature fulfilled my expectation when using them at a local coffee shop. I could barely hear any outside noises. Also, the feature of using Bluetooth on 2 devices is convenient for those taking calls while multi-tasking on a laptop or other electronic device. The only con I can think of is the material used for the ear phones. If using for several hours, it does get slightly sweaty and hot.

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used Bose 700 for over a year and now using Sony WH-1000XM4, mobile app of Sony is much mature, and it has lots of preset modes. Call quality of Bose is unbeatable, if your prime purpose of headphones is listening to music then I recommend go for Sony, I am sure that you won't regret.

Better than before!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There's a reason why they call this the king! The new sensor that stops media from playing is sensitive enough where it doesn't feel like a gimmick. The only one wish I have is more control for the multi-device; there should be a switch in app to switch instead of having to disconnecting one of the devices. Other than that, amazing!
