The best choice for over-the-ear Noise-Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these headphones, the reason I went with this brand and model is a recommendation from my son, as he has a pair. He was not wrong, they are comfortable to wear, play sounds precisely, and the noise cancelling is absolutely perfect! When I use noise-cancelling its like I've been transported to a quiet zone made just for me.

Excellent premium headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound overall - really clear and sounds awesome on both calls and music/movies. Effective noise canceling on plane/in airport, in car/bus, etc. Super comfy to wear, no sore spots or extra sweat even after hours. Love these headphones and thus far totally worth the price!!

Very good over all
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re an audio file, you’re not going to be blown away by these wireless headphones. But for general listening they’re pretty good. I pair them with my TV for video games and I use them with my phone to play music. The audio quality is very good. My only complaint in that realm is that the volume doesn’t get quite loud enough for my taste. I had the old version and they got very hot. These have the same issue. If you’re going to wear them for video games after an hour or so they get pretty sweaty. There seriously lacking in the looks department but that’s not a dealbreaker

Beyond Impressive
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Started enjoying right out of the box. Have owned Bose noise cancelling, JLab in ear, Apple wired and in-ear wireless. When it comes to hearing all the nuances of just music, these are hands down my fave. So many options that it takes a little time to learn all it will do. Gotta tackle dealing with "Alexa" smart home devices next. My first time with a Sony product and looking forward to many more. Long life between charges - a huge plus. Don't buy anything until you try these. Highly recommend them.

Great quality and features
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality (once you customize in the app - Not great out of the box). Excellent Noise cancellation Nice range, nice battery life, great features, better than Bose 700 headphones. But, my requirement was to connect to three devices and two at the same time (ipad and iphone) and want to switch seamlessly when a call comes while watching movie in ipad. Sony WH-1000XM4 doesn't do that (Bose 700 does that well). So, I had to return it. I tried Bose Studio 3, which is not even comparable to this Sony in noise cancellation. I am sticking with my Bose

Best Noise Cancelling Headphones I’ve ever had
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best Noise Cancelling Headphones I had. Sound quality is another area where the XM4 excels. With powerful and dynamic audio performance, these headphones deliver a rich and detailed sound signature. The bass is deep and punchy, while the mids and highs are well-balanced, providing a satisfying listening experience across various music genres.

AMAZING
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was debating between these headphone and the Apple AirPod Max, I am so happy I chose these. They are so easy to use, lightweight, and have amazing quality. The only downside to these is that they take a little more time to switch between devices. I need to reconnect them to my laptop or iPad, it’s not too big of a deal! Overall, I don’t regret getting them at all!

Gamers choice real 3D audio for VR and online FPS
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're like me and you want headphones that have real 3D space audio for video gaming look no further. Before buying these I tested a few other wireless headsets but I can say that only these accurately depicted where enemies were coming from. Also these headphones are amazing for using with the Meta Quest 2 via bluetooth. You'll be even more immersed in whatever you're doing in VR with the rich audio quality and deep bass these provide. I love them and I'm sure you will too.
