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.

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!

New Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony Wireless Noise Canceling Over the Ear Headphones are the one I will hang my hat to say that I love them. Love the the clear sounds of the music I listen to as a dj I can actually hear the highs and lows of the the music. Clear sound of the spoken words I can actually hear the words very clean and clear. I also have the ability to turn on a setting that will allow for automatic stoppage of my music if a call comes in or if someone walks up to me while wearing these headphones. The fit over my ear is comfortable and not pitching. Nice snug fit.

very comfortable with great noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are very comfortable and do an impressive job with noise cancellation. The sound quality is pretty good but not awesome. The bluetooth connection to my Samsung Galaxy S8 is decent, but could be better, but that's possibly the phone. Battery life is good. Overall I very much like these.

Great sound and comfort, poor noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing sound quality and super comfortable! The battery is also amazing! The only reason I took off a star is that the noise canceling is not the greatest. Even with all the settings optimized for the best experience, I still find myself being able to hear what’s around me. Additionally, I have been told that others can hear what I’m listening to even if the volume isn’t that high.

Solid pair of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far these headphones have been great. Comfy feel to them, dont slip off when I use them for running on a treadmill or lifting weights. I bought silicone covers for my ear muffs that are specifically designed for this model of sony headphones. And if you need to buy specific parts to the headphones then amazon is great for extra ear muffs or the leather on the top middle of the headphones. The noise cancellation is really nice. My mind set was come in looking to buy bose headphones but after trying the sony samples, these were much better quality. I give these a 5 outta 5.

Believe the hype!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best pair of headphones I've used so far. The NC and the 360 audio is really impressive at this price point. I like the build quality a lot better than the Bose. I rarely have to worry about charging. Highly recommend. Also the case is perfect for travel. This is my second pair. First one got stolen :(

XM4 are still great noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So - this model - the XM4 - was debuted in 2018. I have these. My two older children have them. This is the second set I have bought for my daughter. She - literally - wore the first pair to death (24 /7 - 7 days a week.) and they fell apart after 3 years. Unless you're a teenage girl, they will probably last you even longer. These are still probably one of the best pairs of noise cancelling headphones on the market and, these days, you can often get them on sale for much cheaper than Sony's current generation leader WHXM5s. I have enjoyed my own XM4s so much that I have seen no reason to upgrade - and probably won't - until my pair finally kicks the bucket. Unless you need to have the most current shiny - these remain a great choice in HQ NC headphones.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I highly recommend these headphones. No doubt about it, they are expensive. But I definitely see it as an investment and not so much “breaking the bank”. If you’re annoyed and want to shut out the world, THESE ARE THE HEADPHONES FOR YOU! If you want to feel like you’re in the studio whilst listening to your favorite song, THESE ARE THE HEADPHONES FOR YOU. No joke. Also, they double as earmuffs lol because the ear part is very cushy. Anyway, 10/10, I definitely recommend, plus I would get the warranty… I’m an anxious person and I always get it just in case lol. ONE DOWNSIDE, I feel like on the website the silver color looks more cream colored, and in person they give more silver/gray. I didn’t like that at first but it grew on me!

Sony Excellence
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had Bose, I've had Beats, I've even had JBLs. Nothing beats the sound quality and noise cancelation of these headphones. The battery life is great and these were super easy to pair and update to my Galaxy S20. The touch controls can be a bit finicky at times, but nothing too major.
