The best headphones I have ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The app makes these come alive. Trust when I say Tidal and their 360 audio make music sound like an album. The noise canceling and touch pad on the right are the cherry on top.

New features not that amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound and ANC are great. Switching between devices when connected to multiple is still very sketchy. Random disconnects even at close range. The mute-when-talk feature sounds great, but not if you find yourself singing along to your music at all. Not really worth the upgrade from the XM3's

Great for isolating during flights. Long battery
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife hates flying. Got these for her on sale. She loves them, they help her with isolating and relaxing. She likes them better than her gen1 AirPod pros for that purpose. The touch/motion controls are a bit gimmicky. The sound cancelling is noticeably better than my 40 dollar (on sale) anker q30s, but for cost, even on sale, idk if it’s worth the extra $180. The Ankers get 90% of the sound that the Sonys cover. I mow the lawn and do yard work with the Ankers. They work just fine.
