Sturdy, Well Made, Exceptional Sound Quality.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.- The noise cancelling and customization is excellent and was the reason I tried these headphones in the first place. -battery life is really good and USB-C charging makes it much quicker to get back to 100% - the experimental talk feature works very well, but takes a while to activate. (about 2 words minimum before it beeps then turns on the mode) - sound quality is amazing and is fully customizable within the app. only CON I see in this is needing to register and install an app to use the noise cancelling features. but once installed and registered its just another app you never notice on your phone. the texture on the sides of the headphones are soft and are easy to scratch and I haven't figured out how to use the controls on the side of the headphone yet. overall, would recommend if you want some solid headphones you know will last.

Very happy with purchase.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been very happy with the purchase of these headphones. I did a bunch of research before buying anything. Everytime iput my search criteria in these were the first ones to be displayed. I use them everyday listening to music while I work. I work in a cubicle area and it gets loud at times. They are great was a little more then I wanted to spend but I am very happy I spent the extra money. The best over the ear headphones I have ever used . Linking them to my cell phone was easy, the included case and accessories are a great bonus.

Love it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable and I cannot hear my family with the noise canceling feature even when the volume isn't that high up. The battery life is excellent as well. When the headphones die, it takes around 5-10 minutes for it to charge all the way up and it lasts a long time.

Went from the 2 to the 4
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Took the jump from the 2 (had them for years finally starting to wear out) to the 4. They are of a better sound quality, deeper bass for sure. The 2's were plenty fine and clear, these are maybe a smidge clearer? Outside of the bass and a little bit in the highs not a huge sound upgrade so if your 2's or 3's are still cranking I'm not sure its worth it to jump up. That being said, the features, noise cancelling, some of the talking features, etc they are much better than on the 2s. Overall I have found these to be the best NC Wireless headphones on the market.

XM4 review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent investment, it lasts long, has amazing sound quality, and is simply comfortable to wear, but they do start weighing on you after you have worn them for a while, like for 3-4 hours straight.

There is a reason these headphones have such amazing reviews! I'm in love! Incredibly INCREDIBLY comfortable, great features, easy set up, and the sound is awesome! The only downfall is the addotional incredibly amazing 360 sound is only available through apps, which i have amazon unlimited but still wish it was available for everything every time! I've never heard anything like this on headphones! They are incredibly great without it but insanely great with it!

Great wireless headphones for work and music
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been having problems finding good wireless headphones that I can use for both work calls through a laptop and cellphone calls. These definitely work well for both use cases, and allow you to connect to both laptop and phone at the same time. The sound quality is great, and wearing them for longer periods of time isn't too difficult. I'm still figuring out some things about how the ambient noise feature works, especially when it comes to Teams calls, but overall very happy with the purchase.

Solid headphone
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I pre-ordered this headphone based on all the hypes about XM3 and how Sony has improved over its last generation product on the current version. Overall, I am very impressed by the quality and the battery life. The sound is clear and the spatial effects are easy on the ears. The only minor complaint is that it still hurts my head a little bit after, say 2 hours of continuous usage. I need to take it down to breathe for a few minutes before putting it back on. I will see if cooler temperature helps in this regard. To summarize, I highly recommend this unit.

Excellent wireless, noise cancelling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable for over the ear headphones. The noise reduction is very good and can be cancelled conveniently when you need to pay attention to something else. The tonal quality is very natural, especially for the price. The bluetooth connection is solid, and adapts to multiple devices.

Good quality headphones

I choose those because they are light and foldable, plus they have wire and adapters for the airplane entertainment. The noise cancelling is great, even with screaming baby right behind my seat, I was able to relax and enjoy my music on the flight.

Best noise cancelling headphones no issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best over theear noise cancelling headphones so far in the market. These are more comfortable than their predecessors and also believe that the sound quality is also improved. The structure is more stiff and sturdy then xm3. The ability to connect to to devices at the same time is very useful as I use my phone and computer at the same time. The cup size is 10% larger so they are more comfortable as well and their ability to reduce incoming sound while speaking to someone is also very useful. They have everything that I could have asked for.
