Not Much
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn’t feel like the sound quality on these is any different compared to my current Shure SE 215 earbuds… The build is fantastic and the headphones are very small. Color doesn’t look as pleasant and vibrant as it does on photos or pictures, it’s more like a boring mix of grey and beige. Noise cancellation is better than XM3 but it still can’t do much against noise such as laptop fans or desktop fans. My head still gets hot immediately as I’m using these. Overall, it was a mistake to give these a second chance. XM4 is intended for traveling on an airplane and maybe loud cities. If you want to listen to music or play games with good sound Quality, look elsewhere. I’ll be getting Shure Aonic earbuds.

Great for noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They work great and the noise cancelling is exactly what I needed. My only issue is that they do hurt my ears after a couple hours. Also, I wish that instead of tapping the sides to change the settings, it was a button because it's easy to accidentally change settings.

Posted .Hi Saturn1998, Thank you so much for the 4-star rating! We are so glad to hear that you are happy with the noise cancelling and overall performance of the headphones! You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue.Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while. Thank you so much for choosing Sony! -Carl
