    These headphones are great both for music and for plain and simple noise cancellation. They're easy to operate and very comfortable around the ears. They work well with iPhone and other IOS devices: easy to connect and the app is helpful.

    By far, the best noise canceling headphones on the market. The durability of the materials and the build of it really does, make you feel like these are top of the line headphones, and not like those other ones where they use cheap materials. The comfort on this thing is immaculate, and I have a big head, so that says a lot. 10/10

    Worth the upgrade for me

    I am a college student that travels a lot for school. I got the XM3’s last year and they were easily the best headphones I’ve ever had until I got my XM4’s the other day. For me it was worth the upgrade just to be able to connect to multiple devices at once. The noise cancelling seems slightly better, but it was already very impressive. I notice slightly more clarity in sound with the new ones as well. The sensor that pauses the music when you remove the headphones isn’t the best because I like to hang them around my neck instead of removing them completely so the music will resume on its own. I’ve gotten so used to pausing as I’m taking them off that it’s not really an issue to me. Placing your hand over the ear cup to activate ambient mode seems to work much faster compared to the XM3’s which was a big improvement for me. I haven’t noticed much of a difference in comfort. I got the silver XM3’s and XM4’s, and the new ones are closer to actual silver/gray with each section matching while the XM3’s have a bit of gold in the color and the color isn’t consistent. I see a lot of people recommending the XM3’s since they’re cheaper now but in my experience that will just leave you wanting more.

    I have used Beats (over the ear) headphones for many years. After listening to my son’s XM4’s, I knew there was no going back. After testing the XM6’s, while there are small upgrades, the XM4’s are proven and loved by many, including our family!

    Wow! I have tried the big 3 consumer NC headphones and these beat the other two. I love Sony sound, but the new EQ has something for everyone. You can dial in a Bose-esque sound profile. I wear for 4-6 hours per day constantly streaming and I get 4 days use from these (NC on). Get them on sale, these are great.

    These headphones have many merits: They sound great using Blue Tooth. They are comfortable and easy to used. Their noise cancelling works well. I need to live with them to make further evaluation. Best Buy matched the Amazon Prime Day price with a faster delivery date. I also got a small rewards discount.
