Buyer Beware
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the 1000XM4 at Best Buy on June 30, 2022. I didn't feel that the insurance by Best Buy was necessary for this expensive headphones. They worked great until... Last week, fewer than 4 months later, the right earpiece fell off through no fault of my own. I just picked up the headphones, and FLOP. Sony's limited "warranty" doesn't cover the repair. BTW it appears to me that the XM5 uses an entirely different earpiece attachment design; perhaps I'm not the only person who experienced what I think is a flaw in the XM4 design.

Good casual headphone
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound canceling and overall sound quality for the price range. However ogerall build quality is lacking as the drivers are surrounded and incased in plastic. Ear cups can easily wear out, however there is a way to replace them. Would NOT recommend for gym use as they are recommended for any activity involving water Does come with travel case Favorite feature is duel connect. Easily have phone and computer audio cycle as i do.
