Perfect headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones. Excellent bass, yet clear vocals. I use it for rap music, but all other music sounds excellent. I am using them wired mostly, so I cannot comment on the use of the noise canceling yet. But I have tried it out, and it blocks out a lot of noise. Beautiful matte look in midnight blue. I love the case and accessories. The only issue I can point out is the top of my head hurts a bit from the headband after an hour use, but its not enough to knock a star off. The ear pads are very plush and comfy.

Best looking headphones
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a college student, I have used these headphones almost every day walking from class to class as well as studying. They have the best sound and bass you'll find in any other headphone and they also work extremely well when working out. My favorite thing about them is that they are stylish. A lot of other headphones stick out and look too big on your head but these are slim and work amazing.

Best purchase of 2020
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely fantastic headphones. The earcups are very soft and comfortable. The headphones are not so tight that they hurt my head after a few hours. They are tight enough that they stay on securely when I move my head about, though. The headband's cushion is comfortable and don't flatten my hair. I've been wearing these every day for my 8-hour work from home days and can confirm that the battery life, sound quality, and comfort are top notch. Noise cancellation is excellent and even when I'm listening to quiet classical music I can't hear my family talk right next to me. Absolutely fantastic. Pairing with my iphone xr was a breeze with the matching sony headphones app.

Great for the price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great headphones for the price. When looking at the XM5 and 6 being several hundred more, the XM4 still holds now. Not being able to connect to multiple devices at once is a bit inconvenient, but it’s easy enough to pair so I’m not too bothered by it.

Great choice prev gen noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are comfortable on the ear, have excellent noise cancellation, and top sound quality when using Tidal Hi-Fi Plus listening. I give them a four-star rating because I can't get used to the touch sensitive controls and I still prefer physical buttons on the edge of an ear cup. Also they infrequently loose Bluetooth connection at random times, however I suspect his is my phone and not the headphones. They were a welcome upgrade from my older pair of Sony headphones with older USB-micro connection. Definitely worth the purchase when on sale.

Great cans!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are awesome headphones. The blue ones are beauties too. Comfortable, easy to use, great sound and the noise canceling is soooo sweet. I just took a flight and now I gotta buy a pair for my wife. You can listen at low volume during a flight and not miss a thing. I almost went with the Bose QC II but I’m really glad I didn’t. Everyone says they’re more comfortable, but I’ve got a pretty big melon and I can rock these for 4-5hours while studying no problem. Just get them. Only con is they drop the Bluetooth every now and then. Whatever, takes 10 seconds to reconnect and get back on my way and it’s not often enough to really bother me.

beautiful design and premium sound
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great looking headphones. Online they look more pinkish, and I really didn't want that. But in person its a much more premium stone grey collor with nice gold accents. It looks less feminine in person than it does online. Probably the best noise cancelling. I can't hear a thing and the multidevice connect is nice because i can have both of my pcs connected to the headphones at the same time. Sony's app is really helpful too as you can have every device there so you can quickly jump to all of them when you need to. The battey life though is the best, especially since i am always forgetting to charge up my stuff i don't have to worry with these
