Not very loud
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise canceling feature is great, but the volume is not loud at all. If I am going to pay close to $400 for a pair of headphones, they better be loud! Definitely not as loud as what ppl are saying online

Posted .Hi TheBrickWall,
We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are not having the best experience with its volume. Make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. You can also use the equalizer function of the app to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs.
It may also depend on your source content. Make sure to try multiple sources. Turn up the volume of the headset and the connected device. Connect the Bluetooth device to the headset once again.
Hope these steps improve your experience.

Best Headphones I Have Ever Had
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Long story short, these headphones allow you to hear the components of the music in ways that I have never heard through any other headphones before. There are songs I hear wearing these headphones that I am like did I put on a different version. I window shopped headphones for a couple years and finally pulled the trigger on these XM4s and they did not disappoint.

- Pros mentioned:Sound quality
Great Sound, Terrible OPS.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I very much enjoyed how good these headphones sounded. I was looking forward to using them for my WFH job. The problem was with the pairing. Even the cheapest skull candy headphones I have paired better than these and stayed that way. These would pair fine with my Mac, Phone and Watch just fine one day, then it could not pair with any of them the next day. It would take an hour of resetting them over and over again before they would be recognized, and once they were they would work for that session only and the next time I would have to go through the whole thing again. Returning to Best Buy and off to buy some that probably do not sound as good.

Not bad
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are decent headphones. I guess they're worth the hype. I could do without Google assistant and Alexa capabilities. Noise canceling with no music is not perfect. Should be totally silent and it's not.

Only issue is if you are sick and have a cough the headphones will think you are talking and pause your music/video and turn off the noise canceling momentarily.
