    My daughter absolutely loves these headphones! She won't take them OFF! LOL She states that they are very versatile. The only draw back (which really doesn't concern her because she doesnt wear them outside) is that isnt not water proof....other than that 5 STARS!

    This is our second pair; the first is mine and this is a birthday present for our daughter. She loves everything about it. I researched the XM4 vs the XM5 and went with the 4 because there were plenty of features and she (and I) actually prefer the shape and headband to that of the 5.

      Hi cbcb, we're glad that you like the sound quality and multipoint function of these headphones. Sony’s industry-leading noise cancellation evolves to further immerse you in your music. The addition of Sony’s proprietary HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 masterfully eliminates the noise around you. Listen all day with up to 30 hours of battery life. Quick charging gives five hours of playback with just a 10-minute charge.

      To get the most out of your WH-1000XM4, download the Sony | Headphones Connect App. It includes Adaptive Sound Control—which automatically adjusts noise canceling based on your activity and an equalizer—which can be customized to fine-tune your music. Using our advanced noise canceling technology, we designed these headphones so you can block out noise and experience next-level silence. Plus, you have the ability to use the convenient smart features including Quick Attention, Google Assistant/Alexa/Siri compatibility, and touch controls. Thanks for choosing Sony.

    It lost a star because it didn't come with a charger and the cords were too short making me go out and spend extra money. It lost another star because the case made me shrink down the headphones every time I wanted to put them away and it got annoying fast. Also the app didn't work without data so that i just junk. The above facts made me feel like they just don't care about their customers so i returned them. That said the sound was good and the noise canceling is the best around.
