You can't go wrong.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these almost every day. I also have the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II's. They can't hold a candle to the Sony's. The noise cancelling is first rate and they are very comfortable. for long term use. Love the ability to turn the noise cancelling off with the touch of a hand.

Excellent choice of headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality and noise reduction is superb! Fortunate for me the newer model M5 came out a few days after my purchase. The sound remains the same but the new features such as the larger ear pads make them that much more comfortable.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never had wireless headphones before and Best Buy had these babies on sale. They sound great and are comfortable to wear and how convenient to use. I didn't like the sony app for these so much but once set up I don't really use it anymore. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.

Excellent headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We got these headphones as most reviews posted showed them as one of the best noise canceling headphones around. The headphones don’t disappoint. They cancel background noise very well, the sound is really good with punchy bass, and the battery lasts. I’m glad they use usb type c which is the new norm. There’s also a companion app that adds features and is very convenient. All in all I am very satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend.

Even better than the XM3s!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Almost identical design to the previous generation (apparently the foam on the ears is a little bigger?) but they have a few new features that warranted the upgrade for me. As with the XM3s, amazing sound, comfort, and noise cancelation.

Great
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable even for someone with a very large head. I wear a size 8-1/8 hat and this still fits well. Noise cancelling works as well as any other brand I have tried. the touch commands on the ear to control music and volume is extremely convient.

Good, but could use a few tweaks to be great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Then noise cancelling function on these headphones is really good. I've never really had a pair other than airpod pros. I mainly use these while I'm studying, listening to lectures or on Zoom calls. I love that you can connect to two devices at the same time via bluetooth. These headphones are much smaller and lightweight than I thought they would be. The app you need to accompany it is okay to use, but does not have a ton of functionality. There are a couple of major points that I do not like. 1st, the padding on the earcups is not very thick. Your ears may touch the inside of the headphones if they aren't on the smaller side. I have tried to replace them with aftermarket ones, but have not found the right one yet. 2nd, the talk to speak function, it will pause headphones if it indicates you speaking, is very sensitive. It reacts to a slight clearing of the throat or other sound easily. Then it will take a few seconds to reconnect to what you were engaged in. 3rd, to get the full functionality of these headphones, such as 360 Reality Audio, you have to subscribe to "premium" apps or services that utilize it. For the price, that is off-putting.
