Great upgrade except for an ANC issue
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As an owner of the XM3s, I was really looking forward to the added features of the XM4. Pairing with multiple devices alone was a big plus, as I switch regularly between phone and tablet. After software updates this has been fairly seamless, and the headphones don't have a problem going between devices. They are comfortable and feature excellent sound quality just like the XM3s did. However, I have an issue where there is an audible 'hiss/white noise' in the background when in ANC. While this of course is much less noticeable when playing audio, this did NOT happen with my XM3s so I'm not sure if this is something wrong with my pair or if this is present in all XM4s. If so, that's an unfortunate change and something that really keeps this from being the perfect upgrade from the XM3s.

Posted .Hi Jleek77, while we are glad that you are enjoying your XM4, we regret that you're having an issue when ANC is on. This is definitely not the news we'd like to hear from you.
As part of normal operation, you may hear a slight hiss or whisper after you turn on your headphones. This is the operating sound of the noise canceling function. This is not a malfunction. If this is not what you are hearing, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really useful to pair two devices simultaneously. I’ve always felt that Bluetooth sacrifices sound quality but these seem to overcome that. Worth the money, noice canceling is exceptional and they’re comfortable

Absolutely Incredible Headphones!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are absolutely stellar. I went with Bose at first but quickly returned them and opted for these, which have exceeded my expectations in every way possible. The sound is crisp and clear, and the noise cancelling is impressive. Thank you so much to Sony for making such a high-quality pair of headphones!

Best Wireless Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are hands down the best wireless noise-cancelling headphones in its price range. I've owned the Bose 700 Headphones for a short time but ended up swapping for these Sony's. They aren't as flashy looking as the Bose but these out perform in every way. Also, highly recommend using a HiFi streaming service like Tidal or Deezer to get the most out of these headphones. I've always used Spotify but they difference is very noticeable and I don't think I will be able to go back after purchasing these!

Great product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with these head phones. Its awesome that they have a bluetooth and come with a headphones jack. Recently took a trip and with the aux cord it allowed me to use them to watch a movie on the plane with the in seat tvs. But also able to use bluetooth on my table and not need 2 different headphones. The anc always works really nice and i love the feature to put your hand over the right ear and it allow you to hear whats going on around you so your not always having to take them off

Top of the line
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise canceling is very customizable from a soft threshold to an extreme silent setting. Being able to pair 2 devices was a feature I never knew I needed in a pair of quality headphones. Voice detection can be a bit hit or miss, so you either love it or not. There is a learning curve when it comes to swipe gestures and connectivity so keep that in mind. Other than that - these are top tier when it comes to audio and drowning out the noise around you - these are the headphones you want if you want to get lost in pure music.

Great for Music, not so great for meetings
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are the best at the price for music. Excellent sound quality that allows me to hear sounds I’ve never heard before in music, it truly allows you to enjoy the music and makes it almkst feel like you’re there. However, when it comes to calls and meetings, the microphone picks up every single sound which can be a little frustrating.

Beats Bose Quiet Comfort 35
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've just had these a couple of weeks but so far the Sony M4 wireless headphones impress, as does the accompanying Sony APP, which features an excellent equalizer with enough customizations to get the sound you are looking for. The headphones themselves have a rich, bassy sound that is enhanced by the aforementioned equalizer embedded in the Sony APP. The touch controls take a little getting used to but work well. The headset's noise-canceling features are top-notch as well. Based on first impressions this device gets five stars.

And Another One
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have previously purchased every installment of these headphones and love each and every improvement, I love the newest features except "speak to chat" it won't let me sing a song without interrupting. The change function button should account now for Siri, I don't own a pixel or android, and they need to make room for Siri. Most sony headphones were able to dual connect, but i am glad these do so seamlessly. I thought these were better and cheaper than the Apple version. I am also a Sony Fan.
