Best Value and Audio Quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably the best over the ear headphones ive ever owned. Great sound quality and they are super comfortable. Noise cancelling is great but would be better if the transparency mode was a little better sound can be a little muffled and hard to hear compared to AirPods Max or standard Air Pods Transparency modes.

Real does a good job
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never had sound cancellation headphones before. They were more than I wanted to spend, even on sale. But I am glad I did and wish I had got them years ago. These work well. Use them at gym, beach and even at home if watching something when I don’t want to bother anyone. Just about tunes everything out. My wife’s not crazy about that. ;-) Battery lifer is good but not great when compared to my previous Sony headphones. Not sure but maybe something to do with sound cancellation ?

Nice color
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these headphones. They are easy to set up and use. They connect to my TV automatically when I turn them on, unlike my previous set where I had to connect through settings every time. The sound is really good. I got these on sale for $279 and they are worth it. The midnight blue sold at Best Buy make them really stylish.

Sony on the come up
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far, the best noise canceling headphones on the market. The durability of the materials and the build of it really does, make you feel like these are top of the line headphones, and not like those other ones where they use cheap materials. The comfort on this thing is immaculate, and I have a big head, so that says a lot. 10/10

Worth the upgrade for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a college student that travels a lot for school. I got the XM3’s last year and they were easily the best headphones I’ve ever had until I got my XM4’s the other day. For me it was worth the upgrade just to be able to connect to multiple devices at once. The noise cancelling seems slightly better, but it was already very impressive. I notice slightly more clarity in sound with the new ones as well. The sensor that pauses the music when you remove the headphones isn’t the best because I like to hang them around my neck instead of removing them completely so the music will resume on its own. I’ve gotten so used to pausing as I’m taking them off that it’s not really an issue to me. Placing your hand over the ear cup to activate ambient mode seems to work much faster compared to the XM3’s which was a big improvement for me. I haven’t noticed much of a difference in comfort. I got the silver XM3’s and XM4’s, and the new ones are closer to actual silver/gray with each section matching while the XM3’s have a bit of gold in the color and the color isn’t consistent. I see a lot of people recommending the XM3’s since they’re cheaper now but in my experience that will just leave you wanting more.

Not bad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not bad headphones, sound quality is excellent for a non-audiophile. Noise cancellation works a charm, I can usually wear these for a couple of hours before I need to rest my ears. They sit a little tight on my head even with adjustment, but it’s not unbearable. Bluetooth is quick and easy to connect. Included case is rigid, do not over-torque the headphones when putting away in the case, I feel like it could be an easy failure point. Overall not bad. If you see them on sale I’d recommend picking them up.
