||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this as a gift for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it. She's been raving about the noise cancelling, especially when I'm playing games with my friends because I'm quite literally screaming. She uses it to dance and workout too and they fit perfectly and don't fall out even when she's moving around a lot. Looked up reviews comparing this model to the XM5 and didn't see much of a difference. She just liked the design of the XM4 more

Sony wireless headphones better than previous
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of the sound is exceptional. Connects quickly to my desktop. Only downside is not having volume controls even though the temporary sound reduction is a nice feature. Fit around the ears is very comfortable.

Good Sound and ANC, bad Mic, Issues after long use
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good: Audio quality is great for music Noise Cancelling is pretty decent Battery life is amazing Comfy Good build quality Bad: Requires mobile app to adjust settings Mic is useless, very bad quality When using mic, HD audio is turned off Unable to connect to multiple devices (gimmicky) - IE unable to connect to two computers, device states it can connect to two devices at once but does not state that one device must be a mobile device Static on right ear after after long usage

Good but bit pricey!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent product! Still learning all these headphones can do! My recent flight to LA was a good test for this product and it did well! The noise canceling, ambient noise features and fasforward/rewind/pause features worked very good, love the mid night blue color! The wireless and bluetooth capabilities were good, paired fairly quick with my phone, TV, AV receiver and laptop. Not sure if it's needed or not but the app for these headphones helped me out, so I'd suggest downloading and using the app for these headphonesl!! Too early yet to give 5 stars, so far so good! I need to see how durable this product will be over time before giving 5 stars! Bit pricey though but thanks for BB gift card, previous BB credit on acct and Christmas gift card from coworker, I was able to afford these headphones, don't think I would have purchased them had that not been the case! So far however, this product is good and I would recommend them if you can afford them but if not, try and wait til they go on sale!!

In love with these headphones
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful pair of headphones in design and sound quality. I absolutely love these and it’s noise canceling especially for painting or studying. If my current ones broke I would definitely buy them again despite the price. The battery life is excellent as well. I always forget to charge my devices and then only realize until they are at a low percentage but with these, they last me so long without charging them. I’d say about 2-3 days of use for about 4 hours each day which is how I use them.

wonderful, perfect, amazing, etc etc
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for two things when purchasing these headphones: comfort for my large head and excellent ANC to spare me the sound of my sisters when they're on discord voice chat nearby. I've tried a handful of other sets of headphones that have managed one of the two requirements, but never both. The Sony's manage both and have great sound to my untrained ears. The only ding I'd give them is the touch controls in general, but I tend to use these with my laptop and control most aspects with that rather than the headphones. Still 5 stars because I wasn't planning to toy with touch controls much anyway and the thing that matters (ANC) has a physical button.

Sony headset
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy and Sony never disappoint. I’ve purchased the headphones for college but ended up using them for all of my audio needs. The noise cancellation feature allows me to remain focused and get my work done without distractions. From the gym to online classes to video gaming or streaming! This headset will be the first thing you grab and the last thing you’ll forget !

Screw Amazon go to Best Buy.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easily the best option out there. Price point seems high. Overall worth the cost though. Listed for $349 I waited and thought about the purchase. They went on sale to $278. Glad I waited but after buying them. I would still pay $349. I initially tried them on at the store 2 months before purchase. The noise cancelling alone is worth it. If you're hesitant don't worry about it. Best buy has an amazing return policy. I've listened to these things for days without charging. They hold a charge in my experience longer than advertised. Charge time is super quick as well. Comes with a great carry case as well. Pro tips watch the how to videos to learn how to use them properly.

Recommend for hyperacusis
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these to help with hyperacusis and auditory processing issues and I recommend them. The active noise cancelling is great and surprisingly adjustable through the app (which you need to download to use them). I wear these every day and they especially help in places that are loud or have a lot of background noise. They are comfortable and the battery lasts a long time

Can’t go wrong with these!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was either these Sony or the Bose 700s. I took forever to decide and I looked at a bunch of reviews, and in the end I chose the Sonys. I was leaning towards the Bose and almost got them... My good friend chose the Bose that same day and honestly, it is a matter of preference because they are both great! I chose these because of the little features, like how you can put your right hand over the right earphone, and it pauses and turns off the noise cancelling so that you can hear around you. That feature has come in handy so many times. The noise cancelling is great. Although I like the Bose design and look, these look good too. Just by looking at these headphones, you can tell that you don’t accidentally buy these! I highly recommend.
