Great but not greater
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality, noise canceling, and connectiveness. I was dissapointed that the 360 Spacial Sound is only available when using specific apps (read addional subscription fees). I don't know if they are worth the money over other Sony or Apple products

GoodImprovement
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are better than the last versions however I would only recommend it as a new headphone or if you have the xm3 or below. My only complaint is the travel is a bit harder.

King of ANC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great and it's the King of Active Noise Cancelling. Sony also has one of the best apps for customizing the equalizer to get the sound how you want. Worth the upgrade in my opinion.

Perfectish
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything was upgraded except for the bass and volume. Cushion is better, look is modern, touchpad is more responsive and the noise drowning is a touch better. Like I said, the M4s are louder and bass-punch you harder but sound is superb as usual.
