Just do it!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent! Best headphones ever!!! Super comfy, the features are great and the sound is BOOMING! Very clear!!! I also use them as a gaming headset with the aux, perfect!!!! I traded in the WF-1000XM4 earbuds for these, I really loved the size of the earbuds and the sound, but my ears just aren’t meant to put things in as I had discomfort after only an hour, there’s no discomfort with over the ear!

She loves them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My own personal review of the pair I purchased for myself gave these a lower rating because they pinched my head too much, this review is for the pair I purchased for my GF. She absolutely loves them and uses 3-4 a week. She says the bass thumps and its very clear. She likes being able to put her hand over the earmuff and for the noise cancellation to stop. The sound she says is great and she plans to use these for years to come.

One of the best headphones…

No head soreness
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had Beats and normally uae my Samsung earbuds. These are the best headphones I've ever had. Battery life is better than I've had, wear them at night for 6-7 hours and battery usage has only gone down from 100% to 80%. Sound is outstanding.

Great set of active noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable for extended use. Larger than average sized head and felt great during 11 hour flight. Noise cancellation works well and sound quality is excellent. Sony’s version of Apple’s transparency mode doesn’t work quite as well, but at nearly half the cost I see no reason to splurge for the AirPod Max headphones over these.

Perfect just perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s good…..i think for thr price i paid (200$) on sale these are great. A buddy of mine has the xm5’s and while i can say the headband is slightly lighter in the xm5’s its not so much of a difference that i genuinely care or wish i had gotten the 5’s. And as far as sound quality goes the xm5 has negligiblably better base like if you tweak around the EQ settings with the 4’s to get yiur desired base the sound is almost indistinguishable from the 5’s. If you have 400$ get the XM5’s and if you only got 200$ and the xm4’s are on sale def get the 4s you def wont regret it and i know i sure dont

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is probably one of my best purchases this year. As a musician and producer, I have to give credit to Sony on this pair of headphones. The sound is phenomenal and the noise canceling works great. The frequency response is great and I like the app you can adjust specific frequencies if you want to change how they sound. The battery life is super great. It was worth it.

Best Headphones on the Market for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling is better than my old Bose QC ll's and rival the AirPod Pro's which provide a better seal only because of the in ear design. Sound quality is and bass on the XM4's is better as well. Good for the type of music I listen to and I love that they give you an equalizer to really fine tune to your preference, Touch controls took some getting used to but work great and really give the headphones a nice look.

As good as advertised.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first pair of over the ear ANC headphones. Comfortable on my ears and no headaches from 2-3hours of use. Easy to use. I’m not an audiophile but the sound and ability to customize the settings via app allowed me to enjoy my podcasts and music without any disappointments. My wallet enjoyed the extra savings from picking this up on a sale. Looking forward to using the ANC feature on a plane when the pandemic is over.

Sound really good but possible glitch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound pretty good but once I power up the headphones, the volume starts at around 75% up even tho I never leave or even use them at this volume level. Took back first pair because of this and the replacement did the same thing. So if they’re all like this, be careful when first turning on music after powering on headphones. Not sure is these split seconds of high volumes will damage headphones. Turning down the volume all the way after powering on doesn’t fix issue either. As soon as I first press play after powering on, that’s when the volume is way too high. And unfortunately, I have to press play in order to lower the volume.

Awesome headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m not a headphone enthusiast by any means, but these headphones have been well worth the purchase to me! I mainly use them at school, and the noise cancelling feature is great when I really need to focus on an assignment. The equalizer feature on the companion app is nice because you can adjust the sound exactly as you like it. It might be better to wait until they’re on sale if you’re on the fence about getting them, but I personally love and recommend them!!!
