Very happy & always looking for excuse to use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really a 4.7 only because they are not quite as comfortable as I would like. Can't wear them for more than hour (think podcasts). Dual pairing is brilliant (phone and TV) and swaps between devices automatically and effortlessly. I like the layout of the new app as well. Not a good a Philips Hue but way better than Sonos. Oh and yah they sound really good too :) I got them for $100 off with a my $50/yr membership!!! (so worth it).

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.)

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!

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.

Can't Believe My Ears
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned a countless number of headphone over the years. My favorite has always been Bose Quiet Comfort, so I was somewhat skeptical about buying Sony. I am soooo glad I did, These are by far the best sounding headphones I've ever owned or heard. If you use any of the lossless HD streaming services, like Deezer, Tidal, Apple Music, or Amazon Unlimited, you will be amazed at the quality of the sound. Noise canceling is superb and offers features to quickly interrupt it when needed (just place your palm over the right earphone). Only drawback for me is ear pads can get a little sticky after prolonged listening. These are new best in class bluetooth, ANC headhones, IMO.
