SOUND AMAZING, WORK AMAZING
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these as a gift for my wife a while back and she has been using them so often that she sold her AirPods pros and will not head to a gym or coffee shop without them. I have the level below these that I bought around the same time and I'm honestly a little jealous whenever she tells me to listen to something on them.

Beats Bose Quiet Comfort 35
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've just had these a couple of weeks but so far the Sony M4 wireless headphones impress, as does the accompanying Sony APP, which features an excellent equalizer with enough customizations to get the sound you are looking for. The headphones themselves have a rich, bassy sound that is enhanced by the aforementioned equalizer embedded in the Sony APP. The touch controls take a little getting used to but work well. The headset's noise-canceling features are top-notch as well. Based on first impressions this device gets five stars.

Best Wireless Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are hands down the best wireless noise-cancelling headphones in its price range. I've owned the Bose 700 Headphones for a short time but ended up swapping for these Sony's. They aren't as flashy looking as the Bose but these out perform in every way. Also, highly recommend using a HiFi streaming service like Tidal or Deezer to get the most out of these headphones. I've always used Spotify but they difference is very noticeable and I don't think I will be able to go back after purchasing these!

Thanks for the recommendation! We truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts on your new headphones.
It is truly wonderful to know that the sound quality is even better than you imagined.

We're genuinely thankful you decided on Sony!

Low background noise and good sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Work well to remove background noise. Requires giving up personal information like so many other products that should not need it. Volume adjustment is not the greatest system.

Great product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with these head phones. Its awesome that they have a bluetooth and come with a headphones jack. Recently took a trip and with the aux cord it allowed me to use them to watch a movie on the plane with the in seat tvs. But also able to use bluetooth on my table and not need 2 different headphones. The anc always works really nice and i love the feature to put your hand over the right ear and it allow you to hear whats going on around you so your not always having to take them off

And Another One
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have previously purchased every installment of these headphones and love each and every improvement, I love the newest features except "speak to chat" it won't let me sing a song without interrupting. The change function button should account now for Siri, I don't own a pixel or android, and they need to make room for Siri. Most sony headphones were able to dual connect, but i am glad these do so seamlessly. I thought these were better and cheaper than the Apple version. I am also a Sony Fan.
