Great
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m loving it so far! Very comfortable and the sound is amazing. Does slip on my head once in a while but I just have to adjust it. I would recommend trying it out in store to see if it’s right for you.

Mixed Bag
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfort: 4/5 Comfortable on my big head. Not as comfortable as the Bose 700 but much more comfortable than the B&W PX7. Sound: 3/5 Where's the midrange? Vocals are severely lacking compared to Bose 700. While disproportionate to the mid range, The bass is strong but well controlled. (I did not try equalizing the sound.). More importantly as the lack of a sound stage. As a whole these headphones have the opposite sonic profile of open-back headphones, such as my gold-standard Sennheiser HD 580s. In the end I exchanged the for the Shure Aonic 50s, which have a more open, neutral, and fuller sound. Noise canceling: 3/5 Good at reducing external noise but not quite up to par with the Bose 700. It should be noted that the noise-canceling can exert a fair amount of ear pressure. My wife got totally freaked out by this and literally ripped these off of her head. Lastly, at the highest noise setting there's noticeable audible audio artifacts including very slight "crackling."

The best noise canceling headphones available
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Love these
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously owned the WH-1000XM2 headphones and those were hands down my favorite headphones. Great at noise canceling, especially needed since I commute in public transportation. I always felt the bass on those were a bit too much but I could always change eq on my iPad. I finally decided to purchase the WH-1000XM4 headphones because I had heard a lot of good things. And they were not lying. They still have great noise canceling but the sound to me is more open and not too heavy on the bass. The app is also pretty cool. It's got a lot of features. I really dig these headphones and I'm very happy with dishing out over $300 for them.

Best workout headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are the best for my workouts, if tuned right. Right when i got them, i immediately went to the EQ settings and tuned them to my liking. The noise cancelation is SO good! I cannot hear a thing outside the headphones when music is playing. But i DO recommend getting a 3rd party app like Wavelet to tune the EQ setting even further if you want to tune them to the best of their ability. Though i know some people really dont care about the audi quality if just wrking out.

Very good product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product. The sound quality is unmatched. I am very pleased with this product. My only critique involves the ear cup “fingertip” controls: they just aren’t as responsive consistently as I would like. At times they simply “refuse” to respond with the desired action.
