XM4
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item is super worth buying! The noise cancellation is unlike other headphones as it doesn't have a weird affect on your ears. The sound quality is also exceptional. The only drawback I see is the volume isn't as long as some other headphones.

Great headphones especially for the price drop
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything that has been said about the sound and build quality of these sony headphones is completely true. Great fit and feel. I came from the xm3s so its very minor in terms of an upgrade from the previous version. I wouldn't have grabbed them if it wasnt for the massive price drop. But the app the is necessary for at least the first Bluetooth connection to a device is meh. Its tries to make it easy to connect and modify the settings but its messy. It was alot simplier to connect to the headphones through my Bluetooth settings. But once that's done, everything works well and its becomes simple to customize settings and do system upgrades. If you dont wanna spend the money on the newest version and still have a great listen experience, get these headphones. Just have some patience first using the app.

Proof that headphones are evolving very, very well
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound (well, of course), but sound dampening also works like a charm. You're shut off from construction sites, other passengers on board planes, trains, buses. Love the ability to cup my hand over the right 'phone and instantly my music turns down and I'm able to speak to someone who's addressing me. No fumbling.

Great Headphones with a Few Minor Cons
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones. Pros: They are comfortable, look great, sound proofing is future tech, and produce amazing sound quality that can be manipulated in high detail on the app. Cons: - Highly susceptible to water damage. Wore them for 5 minutes in the rain and the board fried so get that protection plan! - The app, while it does it's job well, is kind of wonky and not very user friendly.

Comfortable and Sounds Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality in feel and sound. Great features like speak to chat, where they stop playing if you start talking and then resume in as little as 15 seconds. App was clunky for me to use at first, but with practice became easier. It analyzed a picture of my ear and then the sound got better based off the picture...WOW!
