    does an excellent job of drowning out background noise, found myself waking up with them. Battery time wont be noticed, and recharge time is insane. Mic is eh, but not my usecase.

    The sound is much better than some of the high end headphones found in Magnolia. Very good warm bass but it overshadows the high frequencies. The sound may sound muddled. But for the price, it is worth like a steal. Surely, it is very highly recommended for the price.

    The noise cancelling is about a 4 out of 5. If you have music playing then you cant hear outside world which I like most so 5/5. If you want to hear outside turn on ambient sound. I am not fan of Sony due to their customer service or I would say I had bad experience in India where they ask me for repair cost in warranty product(no physical damage). But based on reviews I found this Mx4 is best suitable for me and I found it perfect. These are not comfortable somehow to me. My ear starts paining after 1-2hrs of usage and I thought I will get used it by now(4 month later) but same issue. I do have Sony's MDR-XB950B1 and used them for 3 years and they are extremely comfortable and I never had problem using them long hours. But these MX4 are not that comfortable, they feel comfortable when you use them for couple of songs but if you are travelling and using more than hr or you might feel that pain or may be its just me.

    ANC on XM4 seems to be slightly improved over XM3, especially in the bass region. Otherwise nearly identical to XM3 in sound, fit & finish, and tech- which is a good thing!
