Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from BOse quit comfort NC headphones (I and II). Bose are a bit lighter on the head, but this one has so many other features. Removing them from the head pauses what you are playing is great. USB-C charging is how it should be.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality very good overall. When noise cancellation is on things like wind or ac can cause weird scratching noise, but otherwise noise cancellation is very good and the auto adjustments based on situation are very cool.

Very easy way to absolutely cancel out all the house noise, to the point where siblings or parents have to knock em off your head. Especially good deal when on sale

Loose fit

Posted .Hi Foxx, Thank you for sharing your experience. While we're glad you like the sound quality and battery performance, we're sad to hear that you have concerns with the fitting. This is not the usual case with our XM4. We recommend to try and adjust the headband of your XM4 to the desired fit but it will not hurt your head or ears. By this, the headphone will stay on your head. Enjoy and thanks for choosing Sony. -Craig
Quality Headphones with Extraneous Features
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, however, I do not think these headphones offer the greatest sound for the price range. It offers many touch control features such as being able to lower/higher the volume with a stroke of a finger, disable noise cancellation by hovering your hand over the right earphone and many others, but I did not see myself using these features often. Some things I think are important to point out: These are primarily wireless bluetooth headphones in that they need to be connected via bluetooth to be able to modify and get the enhanced audio quality settings via their app. If you use these headphones strictly wired, the audio quality is noticeably worse. This does not seem like too big of an issue for me since they charge relatively quickly. On that note, these headphones cannot be used while they are charging. With that being said, I still enjoy these headphones, but if I had the option to buy these again, I think I would probably choose the Bose QC35 that are available for around the same price since I have had a better experience with Bose overall.

Best headphones I've owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the 360 audio. Too bad I can't have this for all the music that I have. But without the 360, the sound is still very good. And I use it for video conferencing calls on PC and it's superb. This one has everything that I want. I can't ask for more.

Good for noise cancelling, not so good for talking
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall these headphones are great, the sound quality for me is adequate and the noise cancelling is great. The only problem I have had is the ear phones are a bit tight and after prolonged use it causes sweat and a bit of discomfort but it’s not to noticeable. I have had a bit of trouble with the app that comes with it but after a bit of trial and error I have gotten used to it.

Wanted these for Teams
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really wanted these for Teams use in the office, but they just don't handle switching between stereo audio and headset audio when going back and forth from Teams calls to videos or Spotify etc. My Bose 700 seems to handle the task just fine, so I'll just use those for calls and keep the Sony's at home for music, cause they do sound amazing. Definitely like the sound better than the Bose, it just feels more alive. I wish the app had more information in it regarding the different features and what all the different settings and modes were for. The noise cancelling seemed to be on par with the Bose for office use, but I didn't really like the 'speak to switch' feature, when singing along to Spotify it would pick up my voice and paused my music for 10 seconds. Couldn't seem to turn it off while keeping the additional features of noise cancelling. Very premium feel, love the color and the non-flashy styling.
