Better than Bose?!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our son has Hyperacusis and so he always has to have noise-canceling headphones on for his safety. We wanted to get a pair of noise-canceling headphones that also had Bluetooth so he didn't have to switch when he wanted to listen to something. These blew us away. He says the noise-canceling is better on these than the Bose Quiet Comfort 3 headphones that he had been wearing!

Arguably one of the best headphones out there
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The seamless transitions between noise cancelling and transparency modes is exceptional for these headphones. For anyone who might me sensitive to the noise cancelling its not so tough on your ears to where it will make your ears and/or head hurt. Worth it even more when on sale.

Great Noise Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading reviews I decided to purchase these headphones. Noise cancelling is the main reason I purchased these. I have a neighbor who has a stereo with a thumping bass that was penetrating the walls. I got these headphones and most of the noise was gone. Because these are bluetooth enabled I was able to have some calming music to help me sleep and that drowned out all of the noise. The sound itself is really good, too!

Super happy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones sound excellent, are feature rich and have a stylish case. The only issue I have had is that sometimes they jump to 100 percent volume when powering on and pairing with my phone. Tech support showed me how to reset the headphones but the issue creeps back in every once and a while. I’m sure they will address it in a firmware update. Other than that I am super impressed with both the sound and build quality.

Wearing Them for 2+ years and They Still Rock
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As stated in the title, I have been wearing them up for the past two years (I may be wrong, but it felt like it with everything going on). Fantastic sound quality and noise-canceling is SONY's playground. Getting them for a discount is so worth it, especially as a student that needs to use public transport, not hearing random people talking is the best.

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XM4 headphones are really great. Sound quality out of the box is already great and noise cancelling works well. The only thing is the color, it looks like a tan/sand color through the stock pictures but in real life they’re more of a gray.

Perfect ANC
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did weeks of research looking to replace my 7+ year ANC headphones. These were generally reviewed as the best out there. I am glad to report those reviews were right. Color is fantastic and the NC is ironclad. It's changes based on what you are doing and that is very useful. Swipe motion for skipping and volume control is effective and engaging. Loved these so much that I got my girlfriend a pair too. She loves them!
