Best Noise Cancelling Headphones
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own the XM3s and these are an improvement on those. Noise cancelling, sound quality, and comfort are better. Bluetooth 5.0 is so fast I don’t see any lip syncing issues when using with my PC or Apple devices. Very satisfied!

Phenomenal
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing sound quality and build. Great battery life as well. Easy to wear for extended periods of time. The noise canceling is top notch. Ambient sound is okay but could be better in my opinion. Call quality is great as well.

Great for what it is...
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are a solid deal. The noise cancelling is one of the best on the market with remarkable sound quality. However, the touch controls can be a little to get used to and I end up using my phones controls most of the time instead, but if you just want really premium feeling and sounding headphones, these are not a bad pick

Must Have
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these. Already own the gen 2 and 3 versions. Upgraded to gen 4 to gain new features like pairing to 2 devices at the same time, auto pause if you take them off, and upgraded chip. The sound and comfort is amazing. Customizable EQ via Sony app. It was a choice between these and Bose 700. Decided on Sony because of past experience and most reviewers rank them higher than Bose. Plus they are less expensive. The active noise canceling is top notch. Bluetooth connection is rock solid. I haven't had any drop outs even at long distances from source. There is still a little work to be done to improve swipe controls: (not responsive in cold weather, sometimes it takes a couple tries to skip to next song or adjust volume.)

Great update to the XM2s
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded to these new headphones after a few years waiting from the XM2s. I can speak to a few changes based on those old headphones. For me the headband is no longer made of metal but plastic. This isn’t a bad change since it’s lighter on the head but it’s noticeable. The 2nd is the multi connection which is great as I don’t have to disconnect and reconnect to every other device I want to connect to now. The 3rd is the usb c charging port instead of the old micro charger. This makes the one cable to charge all devices closer as I can charge my computer, headphones and other devices now with one cable. The noise canceling and music sound quality is still top-notch and overall I recommend these headphones to anyone looking for a great all around pair of ANC headphones.

These headphones saved my sanity
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these so much, the noise cancelling has been a lifesaver! I was struggling with some noise issues at home as well as at work; the in-ear buds I had been wearing were starting to cause some pain in my ears so my sister suggested these headphones since her husband had the older model and had sung their praises. The price tag was a little daunting but I decided to go for it - and I don't regret it one bit! I haven't completely mastered the controls yet, but I can turn the noise cancelling on and off and that's the biggest thing for me. For work, sitting around the house, and travelling, I highly recommend!

Better than Bose QC 35
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little better than my previous Bose QC 35 headphones- which I rank very highly. Amazing noise cancelling technology and an auto-stop feature when you remove the headphones make these worth the price.

love it!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i love this headset!!!!!!! It's amazing in that it sounds 3D. I don't know how they do that? The noise canceling is superb The one thing that I would say is that they skimp where the. over the ear part connects to the Upper part that goes over your head. I don't know what that would be called. I could look it up, but I'm not going to waste my time I guess to get it at this price point, they just use plastic and I've had it break twice on me and I'm so glad I got the extended warranty.
