Compared to AirPods Max, I prefer airpods
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not gonna lie after substantial use of the AirPods Max I got used to its seamless connection to all the Apple devices. And the feel of these made me almost return them the day I opened it. It honestly felt like some really cheap headphones because of the weight and feel of the plastic. The AirPods Max feel more premium because of the aluminum body, but after giving them a shot with the Sony headphones app, these are very costomizable. To be completely fair the AirPods Max and these Sony headphones have their own pros and cons but overall I really think I do enjoy the AirPods Max better. Don’t get me wrong the sound quality and costimizations are great on these Sony Headphones but again, I really do think I prefer the AirPods Max over these.

Comfortable and lightweight
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The most comfortable headphones I’ve ever worn. Most headphones I can’t wear for more than a hour without a headache so that was the selling point. Sound seems very good, but I haven’t really compared with others. My only complaint is that the Sony app has some scary terms and conditions that make it sound like I’m signing away the rights to everything I listen to, which is just not ok in my book. I ended up not installing their app which I think means I’m missing out on some of the noise cancellation features which really sucks. I wish places still made technology that works on its own without additional requirements.

Good headphones, needs more instructions
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered these headphones online. They were meant to come in the next day but there was a small mistake and the headphones didn't come until the next working day. Other than that, the headphones themselves work great. I have three dogs that love to bark and these drown them out very well. I wish they came with more detailed instructions as I had to look up how to use them properly. If you had any of the prior headphones in these series they work the same.

Great all around. Better options for bass
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing noise cancelling and great sound. Certain sounds can slip through if they’re high pitched enough but I don’t believe that’s the fault of the headphones. Lacking in bass which I’ve heard the xm4 is better for but every other sound is amazing. App is very easy to use and equalizer helps fine tune for personal sound preference
