Excellent sound quality and noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first pair of high-end headphones and the first in a long time to have noise cancelling. Previously I had a pair of Sony MDR-XB950B1. There is really no comparing the XM4's to them. The only thing that was "better" with the 950's was the bass. But that was only if you were a fan of really fake "boomy" bass. Highly recommend these headphones.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is good, the thing I dont like is that if you want better sound you have to purchase these apps. Also the noise cancellation is okay it could be better, I bought them to use them for the gym but even with the noise cancellation I can still here the gym’s music and The weights hitting the floor.

Posted .Hi PauloJ,
Thanks for sharing your experience. The Sony | Headphones Connect app is a free download and there is no purchase required to use the headphones. The app is an optional tool that provides additional customization and access to features that enhance the listening experience.
For your specific desire for better noise cancellation, the WH-1000XM6 is our latest model and offers a significant upgrade in noise-cancelling performance. It features a new processor and an improved microphone array, which are designed to more effectively block out a wider range of ambient sounds.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

One word: Quality
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using these exclusively the past 11 months and they are great. Initially, I tried the AirPods Max, but they were too heavy and started to hurt my eyes. These have even better noise cancellation and I like that they can more easily fold up and fit into a bag.
