    [Employee of bestbuy] Switching from the XM4 to these headphones might feel more like a headache than an upgrade. While the battery life remains impressive and the sound quality is still great, the noise cancelling feature is inconsistent. There are times when it feels too weak, and unfortunately, there's no way to adjust it to match its initial performance. The touch controls are more reliable compared to the XM4, but they tend to be overly sensitive. Honestly, considering my XM4 failed after just a year and the buggy experience these headphones offer, I'm likely to switch to Bose when these eventually give out.

    Great Headphones, the sound quality is amazing an overall its a good pick espcially for those who want to buy a pair of headphoens but cant afford the XM6 at the moment. Only part I dont like is the power button, its too stiff and feels cheap.

    The ones I was waiting for. I didn't think they were coming until August. My Bose 700 were stolen and so I wound up getting these and have to say, the Sony are better in sound isolation, sound quality using Tidal (3d audio, eq) and they cancel out everything! The hand over the right ear to amplify the outside world for you hear is an amazing touch. I use these for remote working all over town. I'm always in my headphones but can let in people as I want. A blessing for my social anxiety. The only spot that Bose has these beat is on the device switching. This may be a familiarity thing at this point. TBD
