Good for music. Not much else.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.doesn't seem to have a full noise cancelling feature. Only seem to have passthrough. No mic for talk. Latency is too high for video games. OK for movies. Perfectly fine for music. Depending on what you want. That could be fine. Battery is really good.

Solid sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are solid headphones for listening to music while working, etc… Only issue is using them when taking a call, tend to switch to phone or computer speakers instead of coming through these. Have also been told that I sound like I’m in an old radio when they do connect and I try to talk on calls.

Newbie in Hi-Res headphone
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has great headphones. I purchased their headphones this past February and the music in both Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio are hit and miss at best. The 360 sounds good in mostly newer music but in remakes from songs before the year 2000, I cannot hear the difference between Dolby Atmos and stereo. I will still recommend individuals who want to purchase the headphones.

Great pair of headphones! Highly recommend.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Highly recommend, both the xm4 and xm5. Want better noise canceling? Get the xm5. Want something more compact when you fold it up for travel? Get the xm4. You really can't go wrong with either one.

Very nice headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ANC works very well compared to what else is on the market. Its not silent but certainly helps cut out excess noise. The base is tight but lacks power compared to the Sony extra base model. I can hear the depth of base but not feel it. Excellent call quality.

Need android/IOS app for full functionality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality is as you would expect - excellent. To get the most out of your headphones you must download and pair them with an android or IOS device, a PC is not enough. The android/IOS app is the only way to set defaults, tune the noise canceling, and update the firmware.

A great product made better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own the XM3s!!! The ability to pair to two devices and the approximately sensor that stops the music when you take them off is great - the build feels better than the XM3s. Over all a great refresh. Sony just refined a already great head phone, and honestly that’s what needed to be done.
