Nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The colour and sound quality is really good. I use these to travel on flights and at work. Love love love, but store them in their original case to preserve them. NFC is nice, the touch sensitive buttons are handy too. I'd recommend using the app to set a custom setting for the best sound balance.

Could have been great but the cheaped out
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.PROS Best noise cancellation on the market. Good sound Great battery life CONS No charger, really SONY not charger? I had to go buy one. Short cords, I had to go out and spend more money on cords. Case only fits headphones if you shrink it down to the min size. Great headphones. They are the best I have seen for noise cancellation. But Sony cheaped out on the accessories which is why it isn't a 5 star. They probably saved $5 per headphone but made me spend $15 to get accessories that actually worked. I didn't like the phone app because it needed data access to get all the features working and I don't get data all the time.

Nice upgrade from the trusty XM3s!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved the XM3s so much I bought the 4s a couple years later and gave my wife my 3s! The primary upgrade for these is voice calls are much better! Mic works excellently now where before it was just average. Also the dual Bluetooth functionality is great to connect to phone and laptop to use for music and work calls/Teams Calls. Battery life is awesome!

amazing
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.f you are looking for noise cancelation at its best, don't look elsewhere and buy this immediately. Of all the comments that have been said about being not enough this, not able to do that, I think they are all untrue or either an unlucky manufacturing defect. Launch products are not perfect from the start, it's bound to happen. The only thing I do not use are the microphones for making calls, so you can check online and see for yourself about that aspect.

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:
