Posted .Hi BobbyC, We are glad to hear that you are happy with your new WH-1000XM4! The XB43 is one of our absolute best sounding portable speakers due to the X-balance design and tweeters now housed in this unit. We also kept it waterproof and dustproof so you can take it with you wherever you go! To make sure you are getting the most out of your new purchase, please make sure to download the Sony Music Center App. There you will find all new ways to control the sound and performance of your speaker. -Carl

Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was absolutely amazed how clear the music is and the noise cancelling feature was amazing how well it worked. There so many options just a little to high-tech for me, I got the hang of them after messing with them. Way better than the Beats Sony dollar for dollar the BEST!!!!!

Great noise cancelling headphones

Perfect blend of comfortableness, & music quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a *mild* audiophile, I appreciate good sound and enjoy hearing it but I do not wanna carry an interface in my backpack with a generator in my left hand to listen to music on my commutes and at home. And these headphones deliver, more than I thought. I grabbed it on sale but it’s really worth every penny. My only cons are you must use an app to control certain things (but that’s not entirely bad), and the worst thing is the times it’ll cut out and then start to lag with watching Netflix or anything really. Little frustrating, haven’t found a solution but other than that, awesome.
