The Greatest Headphones ever created
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I honestly didn't know what to expect with the m4s. The last set of Sony headphones I had were the XB 950N1s. My older Sony headphones had lots of bass but the mid-range and vocals and highs were absolutely terrible. The enforce have blown my N1's out of the water! These are probably the best sounding headphones I've ever owned. They are also second to none for noise canceling. I would definitely recommend these doing one looking for a great set of headphones.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are fantastic headphones. The best sounding wireless Bluetooth headphones I have personally ever used. The sound quality is extremely detailed and enhances the overall listening experience. Applicable whether you are listening to compressed music files or even more so demonstrates attention to detail with less compressed, higher quality music files, such as on Tidal or Apple Music. The immersive capability with 360 degree sound and/or Dolby atmos is incredible. I hadn’t listed to roses by the chain smokers in years due to saturation/overexposure, and I listened to its 360 version thru Tidal and it sounded like a whole new experience with the nostalgia of first discovering the song. The noise cancellation is truly impeccable - you quite literally hear nothing outside your own world it creates. The ambient noise feature is quite definitive while listening to music, podcasts, etc. layering it on top of what’s going on around you - helpful in for when you’re in the office. The headphones app is absolutely necessary in my opinion as you can customize characteristics and more importantly disable any features that aren’t to your liking. Personally, voice to chat; ambient sound control; among a few others come to mind which I deactivated. They would interrupt or fluctuate the listening process. The ambient sound control seemed interesting from a conceptual standpoint, but it really tries too hard in my opinion. Scaling between full ambient sound and noise cancellation - now the scale is great, the mind of its own - take a lap buddy, you're not that guy.

Great Headphones for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive been dying to have these headphones and I'm glad I did. Even when I put them on without music everything is more quite. The noise cancelling is amazing I cant here anything or anyone and I don't have to turn to volume all the way up. The sound is crisp and clear and the headphone battery lasts for days which is amazing. Glad I brought them.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable, noise cancelling did the job well. The sound quality is great, but the bass is a little bit too much for me personally, but it supports the Sony's app so it was fine. The DLSS Extreme didn't really "enhance" my experience, but it might be that I'm used to many kinds of headphones and compressed audio. Overall, it's a great product, but too many features that you won't even use.

Hands down the best headphone on the market
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far, the best headphone on the market for it price range. Sony need to do more promotions for these headphone. Because the only reason I even known about these headphone is because it was compare to the new Apple headphone. Bose is good but it’s price range??? You better off buying two xm3. Xm3 is also good, this is better with the noise canceling and the headphone last a long time, it been 2 weeks now and it didn’t have to charge it yet.

Pricey, but worth every penny !!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried the 1000xm3 and thought they were great. These are an improvement on an already awesome product. Haven't tested battery life, but i haven't had to charge them since i fully charged them last. The sound quality is amazing, noise cancelling is top notch!( I tried the bose 700's as well. Nice, but not as good as Sony.) I see why they call it industry leading! Haven't been this impressed with headphones for a long time!! Definitely wirth every penny!!

Excellent noise canceling and super comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid headset. Great sound and the noise canceling is among the best I've used (compared to Bose and Sennheiser). Very comfortable and the fit sits right outside my ears. Pads can get a little sweaty during extended use, but that's a given with pleather pads. Love that the earcups fold down to sit flat. Build quality feels light, but sturdy if that's possible. USB-C charging is fast! Works well wired to a USB-C DAC for my iPad Pro, too!
