Best Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Take this from someone who doesn't ever write reviews. I’d easily pick this over any Apple product. Fits wonderfully, noise cancellation is amazing, and battery life is great. Great headphones for the gym.

Quality Sony product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We’ve purchased a lot of headphones over the years and can say that these are really great. Main use of them right now is for gaming and they are super clear with excellent clarity. Noise canceling capability is top notch. Very comfy fit; not too loose or too snug, fit just right. I can see these last for years to come — great quality. You are definitely getting what you paid for.

Great Quality Headphone
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before purchase this headphone, I did a lot of research on it. I tried several other competitive brands (Bose, Beats, etc). This headphone has better quality even though it's pricey. It blocks off all the surrounding sounds. The ear pieces are very comfortable. It doesn't squeeze your head or ears. I would recommend it to anyone. You won't be disappointed. It's worth the purchase.

Best headphones on the market
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones with all the newest features on the market. Noise cancelling is under then Sony 1000xm3, but can be improved in next OTA updates. Cushions are super comfortable, however, people with big ears can feel some discomfort. Swipes/taps will not work with gloves in cold weather. Sound quality is one of the best on the market, bass is great but not too deep comparing with some bass-oriented models like beats studio.

Great and Durable Headphones
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have been great headphones. They've connected and worked flawlessly every time I've used them for the last 2+ years. They sound amazing, and they're definitely more comfortable to wear than my Bang & Olefsen Beoplay H9i headphones.

The best keep getting better
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have now had the XM2, XM3 and now the XM4 models of these headphones and they never fail to impress me. It is hard to make them a lot better for sound quality and comfort but Sony adds mild tweaks every model to make them that much better. The noise cancelling is fantastic. We just got back from an airplane trip to Florida and when we got off the plane my wife said "Wow, that kid behind us was annoying" and I said what kid? Never heard them. Pros: Sound quality. Very even and balanced and if you have personal preferences you can manage that on the EQ in the app. Bluetooth range and pairing. Easy to pair range at least 30 feet even thru walls Comfort. They do seal around the ears well and after a long wearing period I do get some "ear sweats" but they are never uncomfortable. Noise cancelling is superb Able to cup your hand over right earcup to hear someone talking to you. Sensor that detects when you remove the headphones and pauses the music. (new for XM4) Adjusts noise cancelling depending on what environment you are in. Very intuitive and easy to use app for adjustments and tweaks. Case is well built and looks classy and they do hold up well. Cons: The only thing I can say I do not care for is the speech recognition that pauses the music when you speak. If you just clear your throat the music will pause but it can be easily turned off in the app. If you are looking for a pair of high end headphones with noise cancelling I cannot recommend these enough. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the most comfortable headphones I’ve worn. The noise cancellation is perfect for drowning all sound. I love wearing them to listen to instrumental music while I work, and after having them on for several hours I could still say I barely feel them on.

She loves them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My own personal review of the pair I purchased for myself gave these a lower rating because they pinched my head too much, this review is for the pair I purchased for my GF. She absolutely loves them and uses 3-4 a week. She says the bass thumps and its very clear. She likes being able to put her hand over the earmuff and for the noise cancellation to stop. The sound she says is great and she plans to use these for years to come.
