Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was hesitant at first buying such expensive wireless headphones but they really are worth it. I bought it for my husband for Christmas. They have excellent sound cancellation because when he has them on sometimes I’m having a whole conversation and I realize he didn’t hear I word I said! So if you feel like not listening to the world around you then these are definitely for you.

Silence is worth a pretty penny.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Marginal improvements over the last generation, not worth upgrading over if you've got the XM3's but still an excellent pair of headphones. I found the auto-pause feature to be a bit finicky but everything else works extremely well. Not being able to connect to more than one device was a complaint of mine with the last generation but they fixed that with this new generation. Overall, while they may be somewhat expensive, they are well worth the cost.

Great sound quality, poor Bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The customization, the sound quality, and the noise cancellation is the best experience with any headphone I’ve used so far! But the Bluetooth connection with my computer is a big let down. I’ve tried multiple computers and I’ve gotten noticeable sound delay, it makes watching videos unbearable. I’m forced to use wired connection when using a computer to get the full experience, but I would prefer to have a wireless experience.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Nwonknu, while we are glad that you like the customization, sound quality, and the noise cancellation, we regret that the sound is delayed when paired with your computer. This is definitely not the listening experience we want you to have.
Due to the characteristics of Bluetooth® wireless technology, there may be a delay in audio playback when viewing videos. Also, a slight delay occurs in the receiving end when making calls or during music playback.

||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the headphones are great for leisure but working out is a bit questionable because the lightest touch of the sides of the headphones causes songs to pause and the “siri” to turn on

Excellent headphones, died on me after 1.5 years
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down the best audio quality of any headphones I have ever owned. Music on these sounds better than on 2.1 atmos sound systems. Definitely a huge upgrade from the previous model which only allowed one device to connect at a time. However, the headphones only lasted 1.5 years before the died on me.
