    I was debating between airpods max and this, but I'm glad I got this. Worth the money! Noise canceling is awesome. Pretty scary when commuting though because I couldn't hear anything outside of the headphones. Plus the color is chic!

    Junky headphones with too many bells and whistles

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These headphones are chanty garbage for the price. I wore them for 2 months, not even daily, and one of the ear cups snapped off just from removing them off my head. Sony warranty does NOT cover physical damage and they want me to pay hundreds of dollars to repair their poorly made product. On top of that any time you try to slightly adjust the ears, settings get messed up and your music will pause. The noise cancelling feature also kicks on and off at random times. These just do not make for a great listening experience and they are not well made. You're better off getting a cheap pair of SkullCandy. At least when they break you're not out $500+. Do not buy this product.

    I don't have much to add to all of the wonderful things that have been said about these headphones. That said, I was concerned about call quality. Every YouTube reviewer I watched did their call quality tests next to generators or they would simulate the loudest coffee shop you could imagine but nobody tested the call quality when you're in a home office or some place quiet. I mean who stands next to a generator to take or make a call? Well, I can tell you the call quality in a regular environment is excellent. I've been using a Plantronics Focus UC headset. These are superior to the Plantronics . There's no comparison. Granted the Plantronics are 3 year old tech but they're designed for calls first and foremost. Finally, you have to go into the app and turn multipoint on. It's set to off by default. The app is rudimentary. It does the job. It can be buggy. I've been using it for months (Sony ear buds). It does everything you need it to do --- the graphics could use some work. If you have problems with the app -- delete it and reinstall. Also, the owners manual on the Sony site is extremely detailed. I solved several (ignorance) problems easily with online resources; I'm glad I bought these. Well worth the retail rice, imo.

    TikTok turned me on to these headphones! I was a little skeptical so i went to Best Buy for a trail run and compared them to the Bose, Beats and they were such better quality and the noise cancellation was great. Fit was good… 5 stars here!

    The Sony XM4 headphones are really great. Sound quality out of the box is already great and noise cancelling works well. The only thing is the color, it looks like a tan/sand color through the stock pictures but in real life they’re more of a gray.
