Fantastic headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The active noise cancelling is just magical. The fit is quite comfortable. Construction and build is nice, but the only real downside is that they still feel a little fragile.

Great headphones, but has issues
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was able to snag this at a discount, and truth be told, they sound phenomenal. Once you set up the pairing app and tweak the equalizer settings to your liking, they're easily the most enjoyable headphones to listen to music or watch videos through. I've had them for about three months now and things have been greatup unil today, which is what is keeping me from giving these a full 5/5 rating is that they've developed a weird crackle/static noise in the right ear. I'm not sure what's causing the issue as I have been taking exetremly good care of the headphones considering the price I paid for them. It's a shame for such a pricey product for it to exhibit these issues, maybe I got a faulty pair. I'm not sure how to fix the problem at home and SONY hasn't responded to my inquiry about the issue. It also seems to be a common issue with the XM headphones, as far as I could find online, many people were plagued with the same problem on the XM3s.

Amazing Headphones - You won't regret it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones by Sony! I had the lower model before this and debated spending more money for the upgrade and really glad I did. Comes with a nice case for storage and they're extremely durable! I workout about 5 days/week and they are used every time I'm in the gym. Excellent noise cancelation quality and so easy to adjust your equalizer as well from the app. I love these and would absolutely recommend them!

Great ANC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These certainly are not the best sounding headphones on the market, but they probably are the best sounding headphones with active noise canceling. Now, don’t expect them to completely block out all noises, that’s not what ANC is even supposed to do. However, these are excellent at canceling out background noises, like low rumbles and stuff like that. If you’re listening to music or a video or something, then that noise plus the ANC will probably block out those other sounds anyway. I used these while I was gaming and I was never once disturbed. The only downside is that they’re a little bulky for my taste, but that’s just an issue with all over the ear headphones.
