One word: Quality
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using these exclusively the past 11 months and they are great. Initially, I tried the AirPods Max, but they were too heavy and started to hurt my eyes. These have even better noise cancellation and I like that they can more easily fold up and fit into a bag.

Posted .Hi Reviewer2018,
We're glad that you like the sound quality, battery life, comfort, and noise canceling function of the headphones. Your feedback about the multipoint function is greatly appreciated. Depending on the device, silent streaming can continue on the first device when the second device has a Bluetooth connection to the headphones. If this is the case, the headphones remain connected to the first device, and the audio doesn't switch to the second device.
Follow these steps to hear sound from the second device:
1. Open the Sony | Headphones Connect app, select the System tab, and make sure the Connect to 2 devices simultaneously option is set to ON.
2. Stop playback on the first connected device.
3. Close the audio (music) application on the first connected device.

Rock solid noise cancelling and sound, but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.XM4 has amazing sound and its noise cancelling ability is unparalleled (I own bose 700 (weaker in sound) and B&W PX7 (weaker in noise cancelling)). The Sony iphone app also has a build-in equalizer. I bought this because of the ability to connect to two devices at once. This feature is a little buggy but I manage to get it to work with an iphone and ipad.
