New features not that amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound and ANC are great. Switching between devices when connected to multiple is still very sketchy. Random disconnects even at close range. The mute-when-talk feature sounds great, but not if you find yourself singing along to your music at all. Not really worth the upgrade from the XM3's

Posted .Hi Sneake, we're glad that you like the sound quality and noise canceling function. Make sure to update the software of the headphones (via Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. You do have the option to turn off the Speak-to-Chat function by holding 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel. When using the multipoint function, make sure to turn off or pause the music playback of the device that is not in use. You may refer to this link for more information:
