    The sound for these headphones are great. I really don't have any major complaints about them. I would just say that they are sensitive to touch, so if you are using them while moving around a lot, turn off the touch controls so that the music won't randomly pause.

    These work great and have amazing features. I work on a loud van that is roughly 80dB. I was noticing increased ringing in my ears so I went all out to get these. I'm glad I did. They really help. Most road noise fades away. If you want to hear something for a second, put your right hand on the earpiece and it goes to transparent mode so that you can hear normally. The other thing I love is the bluetooth connectivity. My wife has to ask if I'm on the van because it does a great job cancelling noise when talking to others. I 100% recommend these to anyone that wants a high quality, feature full noise cancelling headphones

    Fantastic headphones! Sound, battery life and features are all top notch. Wish the weight was a little better distributed on the top of head but improvements on the ear over last year much appreciated. Wish was a little better integrated with iPhone and the app was a little smoother.

    Best noise canceling over ear headphones hands down. I’ve tried all the big main manufacturers. Sony XM series are without a doubt the best ones out there for that money range. Highly recommend! My only complaint is that the new XM4 vs my old XM3 it seems as the battery does not last as long, but with a 30 hour battery life I’m still happy.

    I had some beats studios from a long time ago that was not performing like it used to. I did a bit of research and these headphones were a great upgrade. The sony app that the headphones require is user friendly and will turn on only when the headphones are. Noise cancellation is awesome. Lots of other great features but it would make this review into a story. I would highly recommend anyone that is in the market to try these bad boys.
