Gets the job done
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are pretty good quality headphones. The one issue I have found is that the touch controls on the right headphone are not very responsive, and sometimes take 2 to 3 times to pause the music. The sound quality is good and they are light on my head. I also like that the storage case is compact as can be, and carries the essentials.

- Pros mentioned:Bass, Sound quality
Great all around sound with extra bass.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the Bose 700 ANC first and wasn't satisfied with the bass response. The highs are second to none however the bass was really lacking. I returned them and got the MX4s. All I can say is wow! Sound quality is awesome and the bass is deep and loud. The app allows for adjusting the sound and I was blown away. Definitely a keeper. Bose does have the option in their app but it does little help for bass. The MX4s headset is great for plane flights. With all the noise on a plane, the MX4s block it all. The Bose 700s left me with a earache due to the air pressure, I didn't get that with the MX4s. Great job Sony! I fly very frequently and both headsets have their plus and negative. To me the MX4s do what I need them to do. I'm bass heavy so the MX4s are great for me and the 360 sound is amazing. If you like sound clarity with light bass; go with Bose 700s. If you want clarity and good punchy low end bass, go with the MX4s. Sony did a better job when it came to all around sound. That's my 2 cents.

Perfect Bluetooth ANC Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are light weight, comfortable and long lasting (about 29 hrs from my test). Keep in mind that for gaming you need to wire up, to avoid BT lag. If you're looking for gaming headphone only, there are cheaper options out there but if you're looking for these specifics features, this is the headphone to beat!

Very good headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are really good, they are comfortable and sound really good. I read some reviews saying that they don't fit well for them but for me they fit really good and stay comfortable over a long period of time. The ANC is really good as well, i barely hear anything with these on.

Sony is the best
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality and great noise cancelling. I like its dual connectivity feature as I usually use my laptop and phone concurrently and I had to switch connection between them with my old headphones. I just wish it took a somewhat shorter time to get fully charged. However, the battery life after each charge is pretty good.

Small issues, but still great headphones
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My one gripe with these is that they sometimes cut out while I’m listening to music. The other thing is that when I’m connected to two devices (IOS), and I take a call, it messes with the whole system until I can figure it out. This could be my own user error so take this with a grain of salt. That being said, these are probably the comfiest headphones I’ve had the pleasure of owning. They might be plastic, but that doesn’t take away from the overall quality at all. I can wear these for hours on end without it hurting my ears or head (and it never has hurt…ever). The sound is great for a casual listener without trained ears, and I love the way they look. Overall, those small issues might take away from these slightly, but I would absolutely buy them again.

outperforms the competition
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I debated between these headphones and the Bose 700 for many months. I bit the bullet when I spoke to someone in the store who spoke about his experience with these for the last year. I’m glad I listened. These are so comfortable and the noise cancelling is incredible. The audio quality is top notch, the automatic noise cancellation feature can be great when turned on. It will enable 100 percent when stationary and when it detects you moving it will allow all sound to enter to hear your surroundings. You can adjust the intensity of the noise cancelling on multiple levels and for multiple preset scenarios. Audio quality is consistent throughout every setting. I am someone who worked as an audio engineer for 8 years and this does not seem to color the sound of any audio. No extra bass, no harsh highs. Just perfect for comfort, quality, ease of use. Happy with this purchase and if you’re debating… don’t and go buy them!

GREAT headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't say enough great things about these Sony headphones! I did a LOT of research and analysis before making my decision. I compared the Sony with the Bose 700 and Apple AirPods Max. The price point alone was a significant factor in my decision. But there were other important reasons I decided on the Sony. The noise cancellation technology is excellent. I have used these on several plane rides and it cancels out all the background noise. However, when important announcements come across, the voice recognition technology allows for those important messages to come through. The sounds quality is what you have come to expect from Sony. Great sound and deep, rich bass. The battery life is excellent. And if you're running low, a quick charge gets you going again. Overall, these are exceptional headphones. My 2nd pair of Sony's and a great purchase for the money.

Just awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comparing this with my favorite headsets Beat Solo3, Beats Solo Pro, and SkullCandy Crusher, this Sony headset is the best! The noise canceling feature is very impressive. As soon as I turn it on, I hear a complete silence. No more buzz from my desktop fans. I love it! I can also walk away at least 3 times farther without losing signals or getting static noise. This headset is super comfortable. I think my head is slightly bigger than average women and the Beats headset just pinch my ears little too much. SkullCandy was nice, but the earmuffs were a bit bulky. I'm not into that Princess Leah headbuns style. This Sony headset is just right. Now I can stop looking for a better headset because I found one. I am hoping to find it in different colors. The color on the picture was a bit misleading. The actual color is gray and has no tint of cream. I was a little disappointed when I first saw it, but the headset itself is just amazing.

Over 2000 hours of use!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones!! I had my first pair for 4 years and used them everyday before the seal inside broke, which means it makes a small whistling sound in ANC is on. I had over 2000 hours of use!! I was so pleased with these headphones that I got another pair for ANC and that way I can use my first pair while working on projects and don't have to worry about it they get damaged.
