Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I will use these headphones until the end of time wow they're expensive (definitely wait until a sale or black friday) because if you take good care of them, they will last you an eternity! Super good quality, super good sound quality + noise cancelling, and super portable if you're out and about a lot. I use these for music, gaming, calls, and basically everything.

Sony’s best ANC to date
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have tried the Bose 700. I like the sound quality of the Sony better. The Bose is slightly more comfortable on my head but I do not like the midrange sound quality of the Bose. You have to try and listen to both for a direct comparison. The Sony app is very well made. The Sony’s are best on flights to get rid of the engine and people yakking loudly near you to listen to your high quality music.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphone i got in years. The sound is awesome, the low, the mid and the highs. You hear the bass too. Best part.. clarity. Also, it silenced all the unnecessary sounds around you so you can listen to what you want to listen in luxury.

XM4 is #1 in my book
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned every iteration of these. The sounds quality is second to none, the noise canceling excellent, the fit amazing on my giant head (xm3 and xm4 are good for big heads but equally comfortable on my petite wife's noggin), the LDAP, 3D audio, touch controls, adjustable noise canceling to add wind canceling or include voices, etc is all top notch. I highly recommend these.

Very good ANC headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for during the thanking giving deal. I owned a QC 35 II before this. This has the best ANC and now it connects to two devices simultaneously, which is sometimes annoying as the second device keeps disconnecting and reconnecting very frequently (QC 35 II had the same problem). Earpads are very comfortable for short durations. Sound quality is very good and better than QCs.

Great Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable, great bass. Was worried at first because the noise cancellation made me feel like I needed to pop my ears but that went away after about 4 hours of use. No problems now. Ordered online and was behind counter for me the next morning. 10/10

To Many Stars
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These do, what they do, better than most headphones on the market. The noise canceling is great. The isolation these provide is exceptional yet, still give you a sense of spaciousness. They are extremely comfortable, and you can wear these all day, no issues. People like to say that the plastic here is High Quality, but they are still plastic. $300 headphones. No matter how tough they may be, should not feel like they will break into a bunch of pieces when you drop them. Surely they are not, but I have $100 bluetooth speakers that feel higher quality than these. Just for reference, I own a Sony TV, and Sony A series camera, so I am accustomed to the quality of the their products. I even had an original Walkman, back in the day but, I digress. That being said, these do not sound great. Because the noise isolation is so good, I could never get that feeling of being underwater, out of my sound field. The highs are not as clean as I would like then. The mids are too full without enough clarity. The bass can never be realized even with equalizer tweaks, and sounds overly tight. These are not neutral, nor are the punchy so you are left in a world that you just get used to. I wanted to like these, as the reviews are Out of This World. Thousands of sparking reviews. Guess my hearing is just a bit off, and I do not have have $1200 to buy all the different like priced headphones, so I guess I am stuck with these. If you have the opportunity to listen to these in store, try to. If not, make sure you get these back before the return period. They will not start magically sounding better, just because of other people's reviews. If features are more important than sound, these are the headphones for you.

'ear is sheer happiness
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I exchanged the newer, more expensive XM5 headphones for these XM4. The XM4 is much more compact in that it folds up tightly and fits into a smaller, more transportable case than its newer sibling. The noise cancellation is fantastic and I often cannot hear my wife when she is calling to me. Fit is of course very subjective. I do not have a huge head, and I wear glasses. The headphones seal well and physically isolate sound to augment the noise cancellation. I even tried them while mowing the lawn and they successfully muted mower engine roar while I listened to tunes. They do feel a bit tight after a while but that's why adjusting them when removing them from the case is so important. I adjust the sound profile in the Headphones app to deemphasize the bass and the sound works well for me. Attack and frequency response seems good on music and speech adding both intelligibility and nuance to movies, music, and speech. I am no audiphile but I can recognize good headphones and these are absolutely perfect for me.
