Awesome headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best noise canceling that I have ever had. They are comfortable to wear for extended time and sound great. The app to control them could use some improvement. My Beats Studio 3 headphones work more seamlessly with iPhone but aren’t as comfortable to wear.

No brainer upgrade from XM2
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very noticeable improvement in the noise cancelling over the XM2 model. Also like the quicker charging AND the fact that they feel the same but are nearly an ounce lighter than the XM2. Definitely worth the upgrade. Probably wouldn't upgrade from the XM3 though.

Even if I am not listening to a lecture, the noise cancelling headset amazed me when I did not hear my boys playing and laughing together. also the headphones are comfortable on and around the ears.

Best wireless NC headphones 2020
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is crazy good and they sound good for what they are, not up to the level of Sony's audiophile grade headphones but they still sound pretty clean and are enjoyable to listen to. They're pretty comfortable aswell and have a good battery life.

XM4's are great! (If cash isn't an issue)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely incredible headset! Separates instruments well, can handle some bass, great and full sound, very good noise canceling. Noise canceling is best when playing a little higher than 50% volume, and truly helps you disconnect a little bit.

Love these headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend who loved them! Finds the side control features fascinating as well as the noise cancelling. Would recommend keeping in its case it comes in — I have my own which the skin has started peeling a bit because I didn’t take extra good care of them but that’s on me. Still going strong for 2 years!!

Best Headphones Ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones! The noise cancellation feature works great. Even if you don't want to listen to music, just having the noise-cancellation feature on is amazing for blocking out outside noise. The only thing is that the sound does leak if you are in a very quiet area if the volume is around 75% full volume. These work great for working out, however, if I'm doing pilates or yoga, they tend to slip. Totally recommend buying them. I bought them during the time that amazon had their prime sale, so I was able to get them cheaper!

Best Headphone

Just wow
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m sure you’ve heard how well the headphones are already so I’m gonna keep it short: Save up for it if you can, do 4 installment payment method, something! These headphones are so worth it! I’m a noise canceling QUEEN and these headphones deliver one of the best sounds I’ve ever had. With Apple airpod max you might get great sound as well but one thing about apple accessories is that they don’t last long. These Sonys will literally last you forever and the app literally allows you to customize your liking on how you want your audio and the clearity mode makes you hear everything it’s quite amazing.

Essential for work from home
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's pretty easy to become distracted when you work from home and have others making noise around you. The XM4s were worth every penny solely for the excellent noise canceling. TV on in the other room? No worries. Someone's talking on the phone? No problem. They won't block every noise, but if your music is on, odds are that's all you'll hear. As for the sound quality, these will sound phenomenal to anyone who isn't an audiophile. No issues there. I haven't found much use for all the extra features the headphones have - why do I need Google Assistant if my phone is always with me anyway? The autodetection of movement/activty is also more of an annoyance, I've found it much better to use the physical button to switch ANC on or off. Perhaps it would be better if you were on the move often. All around, excellent headphones and worth the investment if you work from home.
