Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought these for my daughter. She has not taken them off. They are on her head or around her neck. I guess she like them.

It took me a little while to get used to controls on these and to take advantage of the many features but I love these headphones! They are comfortable, great sounding and the noise cancellation is amazing (almost scary that you can not hear anything else when it's on!) I only wear headphones when I absolutely have to, I will always prefer being tuned into my surroundings but when I need to tune out or keep the room volume down, these are the way to go. The two bluetooth device pairing is great too because I use these on my LG TV and also with my iPhone without having to pair them again. The pause feature when I remove the headphones is awesome and the motion control on the right side took a bit of getting used to but now it comes more naturally to me.

These Sony XM4 headphones are amazing! They're lightweight and compact, making them perfect for travel. The noise cancellation is fantastic, and I love how easy it is to control the volume and answer calls with just a simple touch on the headphones.

Pretty good, love the ambient sound and the battery life is excellent. The best battery life so far. Also feels light on the head

This headset was an upgrade from the XM2's. The biggest changes are to active noise cancelling and build quality. After using both headsets side by side, the active noise cancelling is much better on the xm4's than the 2. This headset is also lighter and makes it easier to have on for extended sessions. Battery life does seem to have taken a hit but this can be improved by disabling "speak to chat" and "DSEE Extreme". I didn't find any noticable reduction in sound quality by turning DSEE Extreme off but did gain quite a bit of battery life. All in all these are an excellent set of headphones, you won't be disappointed. P.S. Its also awesome that you can connect multiple devices via Bluetooth and switch as needed!

For the headphones that are considered the models to beat in the world of active noise cancelling Bluetooth, these are remarkably mediocre. They aren't terrible by any stretch, but they just aren't great. For the $300 price range they seem to hover around it's not unreasonable to expect more than one or two great features. After a week with them and deciding I didn't want them my wife tried them and decided neither did she. We will be returning them shortly. Their packaging is impressive. For a pair of over-ear headphones the fact that they be kept in an included hard case the size of a hardback book is really shocking. The case has room for a charger, a standard aux cable, and even includes a little adapter for airplane audio. There's also enough space for an additional dongle, like maybe a wall plug or my AirPods Pro. They were designed with travel in mind and that shows in the case. The noise cancelling is amazing. When it is set to full there is simply no noise. They don't strongly deaden the noise, they basically eliminate it. It's obvious that part of it is simply from their excellent build, since with noise cancellation turned off they sound like I've buried my head in a pillow. Turn the noise cancelling on and it's like being in an isolation chamber. But turn the noise cancelling to transparency mode and the cracks start to show. Transparency mode is, in a technical sense, piping the outside world in. In these headphones that is exactly what it sounds like. Like I'm listening to the real world through a pair of tinny speakers. It may be nice for a sentence or two listening for a pilot's announcements, but every time I tried to have a conversation with it on the delay and the poor sound quality made it utterly useless. On top of that it doesn't offer much directionality, so if I wanted to hear someone coming I could determine that they were coming but not from where or how far. The sound quality itself is tolerable, not unbearable but not particularly good. Maybe in a noisy environment the strong bass would be helpful, but both my wife and I found that it simply made the vocals harder to hear. I almost considered it an advantage when working since I could put on some music and the quality was mediocre enough that I didn't want to jam out to it. That's not exactly a great sales pitch though. "Spend $350 and you won't get distracted by enjoying your music too much." Admittedly I did not test out Sony's LDAC codec, which might have helped. But when the music format I'm already using sounds really good on other devices I own I am not going to invest in a new format for a single device. The fit wasn't good at all. I have a decently large head and found that I had to really fuss with the earcup angle to keep my inner helix from rubbing on the driver. My wife has a fairly small head and even at the smallest diameter the top of her ears were getting pushed down. That said the lightness certainly helped with long term comfort. The controls were, to be perfectly blunt, borderline unusable. With nearly everything being controlled by touching the right earcup it was a wild guess if anything would work. Can't touch too softly or too harsh. Have to place it correctly, not too high or too low. Play/pause was basically non-existent. It's supposed to be in the center, but it always took about four tries at different places for it to work. Sometimes I just hit the side of my head several times and hoped for the best. Volume controls were uselessly incremental, taking several swipes to adjust to any meaningful degree. Turning the noise cancelling on or off via the button on the left ear cup was a guess, particularly because a long press on that button recalibrated the noise cancelling mode. I suppose perspective is everything. If someone had never spent a few hundred dollars on headphones before these would have been great. And maybe if someone is constantly traveling the small size and travel features would be pleasant, though I think you could do better with a pair of active noise cancelling earbuds if size is really a concern. The rest of it is so mediocre or unusable that I couldn't imagine a situation where I'd want to bother, certainly not for $300+. Maybe they'd be an easier recommendation at the $170 range.

Great headphones overall. They sound very good. The noise canceling is also very good. Nice build quality. Great deal at a very good sale price.

These headphones have fantastic sound quality, great noise cancelling, and are very comfortable to wear. I think I am semi-sensitive to noise-cancelling headphones, where having active noise cancelling (ANC) on for too long causes headaches with most headphones. While not non-existent for these headphones, I have not noticed the ANC to cause very much pain at all. They are very pleasent to wear. I reccomend!

These headphones have amazing noise-cancelling!! Very easy to change settings in the mobile app as well. Very comfortable fit!!

The best over the ear wireless headphones. everything you could hope for. Long battery life, good volume and sound clarity, Very comfortable. They are soild all the way around, you won't be disappointed, better than my Bose NC700.

Awesome audio quality, very good bass and I can hear all the small details on each song and movie. The headset construction quality is amazing, the touch is texturized, and keep it tight. Very good ANC.

Excellent sound quality and comfort while wearing. Touch controls work well on the right ear cup. Battery life seems good as I used them most of the day for video conference calls as well as some music in between.

My teenage daughter pushed to purchase the headset, It has good noise canceling features. They are comfortable, easy to charge, the battery last a long time and look good.

I love my sony headphones, they are super comfortable and very easy to use. The app features are great becuase you can connect them to another device and they will switch connection based on what your doing. Battery lasts long and it takes less than an hour to get a full charge. Noise cancelation is excellent!

Very comfortable headphones with excellent noise cancellation. Very good sound quality. The only issue I faced is with connecting iPhone and Macbook at the same time. When connected to 2 devices and I pay and stop audio from Macbook and later try to play from iPhone, it doesn't play. I need to disconnect Macbook in order for audio from iPhone to play.

I purchased these headphones as a gift for my husband over 2 years ago - he loved them immediately and he still does! The noise cancellation is impressive, and the additional features (such as muting music and allowing sound through when it detects the wearer is speaking) are so helpful. These work great and hold up over time!

I love these headphones! They sound really good, they fit comfortably, and they last long. The Bluetooth connects quickly and reliably. The app in not the best but it is functional. These are top of the line headphones.

Amazing quality with great feel to it and plus the light weight it makes it feel premium but where it shines is with the sounds. You can alter the setting to find what’s just right for you. It’s a great gift too would recommend

Great sounding headphone. Once I turned off the voice control setting, I was very happy with them. They would pause the music if they detected any talking

Behaves just as I want it to be. When I talk the music stops and then it starts again! Amazing! The comfort is so amazing - doesn’t hurt my ear even though I have been using it for over 3 hours. I am very impressed by the look - simple and elegant.
