    Literally changed my life forever. It’s so comfortable and it’s so easy to throw on. It has a very clean look and it sound really good. It doesn’t feel like a weight on your head, it feels really light. It’s so amazing.

    Best Music Purchase for 2020

    To set context, these are my first pair of Over the Ear headphones. Normally I use in ear for working out and moving around. I bought these on a whim at a great price and I don't even begin to second guess the cost. I'm not an audiophile, for me these headphones are crisp and clear, the bass is solid and I haven't been able to compare the noise cancellation. My favorite feature is being able to connect to two devices, being home and being able to put these on and still get messages from my phone or doorbell is awesome! I have received good feedback from people who I talk to on the phone - a huge plus!! For someone who likes music, and can wear these (comfortably) for hours at a time - one of the best purchases for 2020. I'm still using the in-ear for workouts, but these for everything else. Buy them on sale and don't spend the money for anything more expensive - just pick a color. I bought silver thinking it is different, and since they are on my head I don't care - but when I look at them on the stand - I wished I would have picked the dark blue. These are everything positive that other reviewers have mentioned. Other items such as quality are on point and no issues, I haven't had a chance to run out the battery - but appreciate they are USB-C, so I can use the same charger as my other equipment. Buy them!

    I’ve been using these for a couple months, I switched from AirPods to these so that I could go to the gym and not have my headphone fall out. I unfortunately haven’t gone to the gym yet to try them out but I can say these are a bit more technical than I thought. Maybe it’s just me, but the app is weird and I don’t think the sound quality is as good, bass is great and to be able to change the sound quality to what your listening too is cool. They are quaint and cute! I would recommend them, sony has been around for a long time and they make quality products. I recommend these. Battery life is out of this world, I use them off and on for a week each day and everytime I come back it has battery and the Bluetooth is okay, it won’t connect right away which I dislike anddd I can’t use Siri

    Seriously, way better than expected. I trialed the AirPods Pro, returned them after a long flight, and the XM5, also returned them. The xm4s are the whole package. -Great compact, semi hard, case because the headphones fold. -Excellent Bluetooth connectivity in my experience (iPhone/Mac) user. -Excellent sound that is tunable through the app. (Missing on apple) -light weight. -noise pass through is the one minor thing that almost as good as apple. I don’t use it much, so I don’t care. The noise cancellation is just as good, if not better than the AirPods Max and xm5s. The xm5s can be buggy in my experience. From a pros/cons side of things the XM4, beat the xm5s, Bose, and AirPod max’s by a lot. Even if they were all priced the same, I’d still chose the xm4 it’s a bonus that you can find them cheaper than their rivals. Way to go Sony! Don’t get rid of this model.

    Great sound quality, excellent noise cancellation, comfortable fit. And once you learn how to use the app to change settings for things like touch control, it's nice to have the flexibility to control those options. Wish the headband was made of stronger material to withstand pressure from, say, wearing the headphones in bed while sleeping on your side every night. Over time this will break the headband, as I've discovered. Still, that's probably an unusual use case so I won't ding the rating for that. Definitely recommended, especially as a lower-cost alternative to the more recent WH1000XM5.

    Got these headphones about a month ago and they have been great. Battery life is a strong point as well comfort and all the different configuration options just confirm these are top of the line. Sound quality is also outstanding. Got them in blue (only on Best Buy) and they price matched them almost no questions asked. Couldn't be happier with the product and the store.

    Great sound, good battery life, noise canceling is up there with the best of the best. Found them on sale for $178. These XM4’s sound considerably better than 90% of the headphones in this price range. I can comfortably wear these for hours on end. If you value sound quality, noise canceling, battery life, and comfort you cannot go wrong with these headphones.

    Woah, you need these in your life you want to listen to music that has a crisp sound to it. It’s very easy to hear everything down to the beat in the song with these. Even if you listened to a song in repeat, and felt you listened to it well. Truth is, you didn’t listen to the song well, UNLESS you listened to it with these bad boys. Essentially the questions that are most important, is the battery life good? I could listen to these for 4/5 days and still not having to charge them. Does the sound leak? Yes it does. But it’s very minimal unless you put it at a high volume regularly to blow out your ear drums you will have no problem with sound leaking. Does it work after months of having? Yes it does, BUT there are some points where the headphones stop working or pause when you’re listening, like the audio will go in and out after a while.

    Did a lot of research before buying the xm4’s. Really like the sound quality and adaptive sound. Very comfortable for wearing on long haul flights. Plus a battery that lasts there and back. They do make my ears sweaty after a while. All in all like these better than Apple AirPod Max, Bose or Beats.

    I bought these headphones to block out noise while studying. They do a great job and blocking out most noise. If it isn't too loud I can use them without music and block out all noise with just the noise canceling on. If people are close to me talking I will put on some low volume music and that does the trick. You can also just hold your hand up to your right ear piece or just begin talking to temporarily pull in ambient sound. It actually listens to your surroundings and plays it in your headphones, so it doesn't sound muffled and there is no need to remove your headphones just to have a quick conversation. Quality is great as well as sound quality. I have never measured tye battery length, but i regularly use them for long days of studying for multiple days without charging them. They can be charged while wearing them though, so you are set either way. They do have dome 360 surround sound feature, that sounded really great in the demo. Just know that it only works with certain apps that I had never heard of before. I use spotify and it is not compatible. Hopefully it will be someday, but i am perfectly happy qith the sounds quality as is.
