Excellent but pricey
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly these have been my daily drivers for work and just general use. Great battery life, excellent sound quality, and on long flights with kids it did it's job swimmingly. I will say the only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that Sony or BBY keep fluctuating the price and I'd purchased them full price making it weird to recommend. Def a must buy if on a solid sale.

Nice SOUND headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is very good, much of the surrounding "noises" are nullified by the snug fit. It's comfortable for long periods of time, the jack/cable are high quality construction and the headphones themselves are of "sound" quality. I highly recommend this product!

Great Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Headphones are great! They have awesome noise cancelation and are very comfortable. Just like any over-ear headphone, they can get hot and sweaty if wearing them outside in the sun, but perfect for inside home or office use. App also lets you fine-tune to your own sound profile

xm4 > xm5 : For the price and comfort, xm4 win.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had both the xm5 and xm4, and yes, the xm5 sounded slightly better. But not $200 better. The xm4 are also more comfortable for big heads like me, along with big ears. You can get these on a great deal (usually $250), which I am extremely happy with.

Best WFH headset
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best WFH headset I’ve used. Only con is that the microphones pick up to much outside noise and can be heard within teams calls. The noise cancellation is amazing on planes and while listening to music. Battery life is excellent as well.

EXCELLENT for travelling.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these and the Bose 700. The Sony hides more noise than the Bose and I could tell during an 8 hr plane trip....yes....I wore both during the trip. The Bose are great, but these cancel more. They encapsulate your ears slightly better. HOWEVER...the Bose sound better, more crisp, better sound clarity. You can get a similar sound profile if you edit the profile in the Sony App by increasing the mids and a little on the highs. Also, I was not a fan of the touchpad sensitivity and area of activity. The Sony use the entire surface so hoodies, hair, pillows, etc activated the controls. On the Bose, the active area is infront of the headband bar which acts as a sort of barrier. At the end, Bose are my go-to because they are superior in comfort, sound and everyday cancellation. The Sony's are my travel ones....since I went past my return window :)

Very Nice Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been very pleased with these headphones. Music sounds very good through them, and I can also wear them to block-out ambient noise when I'm reading. I was able to connect them easily to a Roku TV (via Roku app on my phone) and to both a Sony and a Denon a/v receiver for private listening. The a/v receiver connections were excellent; the Roku, not so much (there was a noticeable audio delay), but I blame the via-app / over-WiFi to Bluetooth connection for that, not the headphones. I recently wore them while talking with my mom (who's hard of hearing) on the phone while out for a walk with the dog in a suburban but, at times, high-auto-traffic area. I could hear her very clearly and she said that she could hear me much more clearly than when I have used my traditional Bluetooth headset on the same kinds of walks.
