I love it 😍😍😍

if you just want to use noise cancellation for a couple of hours, since I personally noticed fatigue after about 2 hours, also to add, the transparency mode is really bad, the audio profile is a long story but I will summarize it. They tend to overly focus on the low end, which results in a strong, punchy bass that most people love. However, this default tuning can come at the cost of clarity in the midrange and high frequencies, leading to a sound that may feel slightly muffled or overly bass-heavy, especially for those who prefer a more balanced audio experience, specifically noticeable at higher volumes.

Clear crisp sound

I have a pair of Bose wired QC-35 so this is my base for comparison. I bought these because I was tired of having the cable in my way all the time. Context: I use the XM-4 mostly with my laptop but they're also paired with my Galaxy S10. The only noises I have in my environment are my wife sitting about a meter away from me in our home office and she speaks very loudly when she is in a virtual meeting (and she has quite a lot of them and the keyboard clicks. So, noise cancelling is mostly used for surrounding voice. Let's start with noise cancelling: The Sony XM4 have about the same noise cancellation quality as the wired QC-35 but the XM4 have a white noise that is a bit bugging me when I'm not listening to anything, just using them for noise cancellation while the QC-35 do not have a white noise and can cancel noise as well as the XM4. I mostly use noise cancellation because my wife is sitting about one meter away and she very often takes phone meeting and she speaks quite loudly. The XM4 and the QC-35 cancel about 60% of her voice so when I listen to music, even at low volume I don't hear her at all. Sound: The sound is a bit better than the wired QC-35. The bass is deep and all the frequencies are crisp and clear. I can hear every single instruments very clearly so I can enjoy my music better than ever before. These headphones should definitely be able to satisfy the most demanding audiophiles out there. Also they can play loud enough to damage your ear drums which is pretty good for wireless headphones. The sound is as good whether it comes from my laptop or my Galaxy S10 phone. Calls using my Galaxy S10: If I receive a call on my Galaxy S10 while listening to music on my laptop (or my phone), the XM4 will pause the music and ring in the headphones. A simple double tap on the touch sensor and I can answer the call or reject it by holding a finger on the touch sensor. The quality of the audio during calls is excellent; I can hear very well and I'm told that the sound on the other side of the conversation is very good. I never tried them in a noisy environment or outside when the wind is blowing but Sony states that the XM4 will cancel most of the ambiant noise to keep the other side of the call clean. Features: I love the many features the XM4 offer. Here are a few features I particularly like: 1. When listening to music, I just have to take the headphones off and the XM4 will automatically pause the music thanks to the proximity sensor inside the left can. I simply have to put them back on for the music to start again. 2. When I listen to music and I want to talk to someone, I don't have to take them off, I just have to start talking and the music will automatically pause and the mics on the unit will make sure I can hear what's being said so I can carry a conversation without taking them off. Then, 15 or 30 seconds (configurable) after I stop talking, the music starts again. 3. Finally, the multiple commands I can use on the touch sensor such as volume up/down, next/previous song, fast-forward/backward and more. Another feature that is nice for those who want to use it is the integration with Alexa or Google assistant. However since I do not use any assistant, I cannot comment on this. Comfort: I have regular size ears so the cups surround them completely and do not put pressure on any part of my ears. I was able to wear them for 9 hours straight (while wearing glasses) with one short break in the middle for lunch and I felt no discomfort. Comparatively, the QC-35 have about the same size cup but the leather on the QC-35 is more comfortable than on the XM4. App: The Sony "Headphone" app is pretty good and complete, helping you customize your headphone sound and behavior very easily. You can configure an equalizer to adjust the sound to your specific preferences, customize the function of the second button on the left ear piece, turn on/off different feature of the XM4, update the firmware, and more. If your willing to give the app GPS location permission, you can have different configuration depending on where you are, home, office, commute, etc. This is a big one for me, I'm not forced to give GPS location permission to the app, contrary to the Bose Bluetooth headphone app. With Bose, if you don't give GPS location permission, you can't even pair your headphones! I won't comment on the location feature of the XM4 since I'm not using it but I'm happy I'm not forced to give this permission. Cons: I had to think hard to find any cons but here they are. 1. I cannot use the headphones while charging but this is minor since the battery life is so long and you can use them with the supplied 3.5mm cord but without the mic function. 2. The cushions on the QC-35 are more comfortable, softer than the ones on the XM4. I've read a lot of reviews mentioning problems with TV sound so I tested my MX4 with my Samsung Smart TV; the pairing was easy enough but the sound was constantly choppy so I would not recommend them if you want to watch TV with them. Summary: As far as I know, as of now these are the best wireless headphones on the planet! Great sound, feature rich and very comfortable but not recommended for TV watching.

I recently moved into an apartment in the heart of my city and I love it, but this being the heart *and* the entertainment district, it's...lively. Thumping club music, loud drunk tourists, revving cars, you name it. I'm also down the road from a busy fire station. And across the street there's daily construction on a skyscraper and even though I'm quite high up, well, so is the construction. I can handle city noise, but I also work from home and sometimes I need peace and quiet to focus. As anyone who's worn earplugs knows, you can only wear them so much before your ears physically can't take it anymore. So I went in search of the best noise cancelling headphones I could find and came across these. I didn't even hesitate before throwing down the $350, desperate for relief. I was optimistic but wasn't sure that they would be able to cope with all the loud, abrupt noises of my environment. These headphones have blown my expectations out of the water. I'm writing this review as they're pouring concrete at the construction site (for those who don't know, it sounds like a cannon going off every 30 seconds) and I can't. Hear. Anything. Construction crews hammering away at metal poles? Barely hear it. Sirens on the street below me? Barely hear it. Loud party music? Can't hear it. And that's without playing any music, just having the headphones on in silence. If I play any music at all the environmental noise is 100% gone. In my case I find the noise cancelling power of these headphones easily worth the full MSRP. But the rest of the features are fantastic too. The sound quality is solid; I'm not an audiophile though and don't have much to compare it too so I won't comment any more on that. The battery life is phenomenal. I use these for hours every day and have to charge them maybe once a week, and they charge very fast. They're very comfortable to wear and can easily stay on for hours. The smartphone app that controls these headphones (which you'll need, I'll get to that in a minute) lets you select from a number of profiles, including custom ones, which make these great for listening to different genres. The app also lets you control the aggressiveness of the active noise cancellation; I usually leave it on max (for obvious reasons) but when it's quieter I like to let in more ambient noise. The headphones also let you pair to two different devices simultaneously which is extremely useful while working. I have these paired to my work computer and phone, so I can listen to music and take calls on my phone, while also being able to hop onto calls at work the very next second. Incredibly convenient. Also convenient is the long range on these headphones; I can leave my computer and phone on one end of my 1000+ sqft apartment and walk to the other and still be connected. Another convenience is that you don't have to pause music when you need to take these off. Just take them off and they pause whatever you're listening to. Put them back on and it starts right back off from where you stopped. That said, this can be annoying when I just need to itch my ear and the pause kicks in, causing my work computer to open up its music app. Worth it though. A couple of other small negatives are that the built in touch controls on the headphone are awful and unintuitive, so as I mentioned above you absolutely need the smartphone app. And having these on, even if I'm not playing anything, drains my phone's battery much faster than normal (though this may be an issue with all bluetooth devices). These issues are too minor for me to detract a star though. So, to sum it up, if you're looking for a great pair of headphones, these are it. If you're looking for the best pair of noise cancelling headphones money can buy, these are it.

I have gone through a lot of reviews on various platforms before buying this product, but at some few places i observed people mentioning about the headphones causing them 'tinnitus', but as far as i am concerned i havent observed the same in my 10 days of usage so far. I am dividing my review into the below categories followed by pros/cons. 1. Design and build quality: The design on these is a decent one, the build is definitely plastic, but dont get me wrong, they definitely feel premium, and even though thet used plastic on these, but its definitely good quality. 2. Comfort: This is by far one of the most comfortable piece of headphones i have used so far, i mean literally wear them for 3-4 hours and you wont feel that you have it on ur head on those times. Although i havent stretched by wearing them for longer periods than that, but i am pretty confident, anyone will hardly have to worry on that aspect. 3. Battery: I have found the battery life to be okay on these, they advertise a 30 hr backup but i think u can easily get 20+ hours on these, so yeah this department is fine as well but in current market i have seen different vendors like Marshall doing a phenomenal job with the battery by providing close to 80hrs in their 'Major 4' model of headphones, so yeah if you are some one for whom battery life is of utmost importance, i would suggest you to get something similar to the Marshall Major 4s. 4. Sound-Quality: The sound quality is amazing on these, and why not, these are Sony's, we can expect the same from them, the low are detailed, mids are well tuned, highs are balanced, the bass is good enough, but this is subjective, i mean these are not heavy bass set of pairs, for heavy bass you may look for something like the XB series of the Sony's. But talking about the overall quality i am compelled to say that these are definitely a bang for your buck. 5. Noice-Cancellation: I kept this topic for the last but i dont think i need to talk much on these as these definitely nail it, these are the king of ANC as i have already heard earlier at many places. they also give u the option to customize the level of noise cancellation. As per me they are only 2nd to noice cancellation after the Apple airpods max, but given the price point they completely justify what they are offering. Regarding call quality, i didnt get much time to check the call quality except a couple of occurences but found them to be decent. However if you are specifically looking forward to call quality, the bose 700s can be a better option for you. Pros: 1. Great amount of customization provided by the sony app. 2. Timely firmware updates for the headphones. 3. Good enough carrying case of the headphones. 4. Less weight as compared to other premium offerings in this segment. 5. Decent battery life. 6. Mesmerizing sound. Cons: 1. Lack of aptx/aptx-hd codec: At this price point atleast they should offer aptx codec. 2. Lack of water/splash resistance: Given the premium segment, they should atleast offer splash rating to these. 3. At this premium price point they should atleast offer a couple of years of warranty like the Skullcandy's 4. Less number of support centers for these. 5. Lack of detachable earcups. Verdict: If you are ready to shell out this premium, then these headphones are definitely a good choice for you if you are looking for an allrounder.

Sound Quality (5/5) These are the first headphones I've owned that when first listening to them I didn't immediately flinch and look for the nearest EQ. I'm no sound engineer, but definitely it has great bass and great quality for mids & highs. Noise cancelation (5/5) Although this is my first set of headphones that support this feature. I'm really blown away by it. I have an air purifier in my office, and even at medium setting. The fan is pretty noisy. But with these things on, I can barely hear it, and that's with no music/movie playing. But as soon as I turn on a movie or song, I seriously can't tell it's on. I read some people say they could hear a waterfall or something in the background. I can't hear anything other than silence, or what I'm listening to. Wireless/Wired (4/5) Being able to use the headphones with them powereoff with a wire, or have them connect wireless via bluetooth is an amazing feature. And it works really well! I was really surprised however that I don't seem to be able to use this headset with the bluetooth of my main PC. It has a really think glass panel, so I'm wondering if it's not because of that. If you own a case with a glass panel, maybe double check with another set of bluetooth headse/earbuds to see how the conenction goes. Audio Delay/lag on Bluetooth (5/5) I own a mini laptop and it only has bluetooth 4.1. But for some reason when I watch videos or movies, I'm virtually unable to tell whether there is lag. Unlike any other bluetooth earbuds I've owned. The delay is amazing. Obviously your mileage may vary, but it's something that drove me insane with my previous wireless earbuds. Don't have this problem here! Gestures (4/5) I wasn't really looking forward to the gestures pad. But it turns out to be working really well. Once in a while an action won't register. But it's really rare for me. Play/Pause on a PC can be a little weird though. One day I was listening to spotify while working, and then with the tab still opened I started watching youtube after work. And after pausing said video and unpausing it, using the headset. It ended up starting the playback of both my spotify tab, and my youtube tab. Comfort (4/5) First day I wore them I was a little concerned since, even though I have a small head. I felt like the headphones were pretty tight on my head. But after even just 2 days of use. It's already leagues better. Either I got used to it, or it's 'breaking in'. The cups are pretty comfortable. Wish they would be just a tad larger, not sure if I have big ears. But I can tell that part of my right ear touches the pad. And I'm wondering if I ever end up pulling a really long work, or gaming session if it'll end making my ear feel pinched. One of my older headsets did that. One thing that I was happily surprised was the weight of the headset. With such an impressive battery life and suite of features. I was expecting this thing to be rather heavy. Compared to a Corsair Void (probably a bad example) it's light as a feather. Pairing Headphones with 2 Devices (3/5) First thing, this feature is only possible via the headphone's native app. Meaning you can't perform this type of sync with the physical sync button. Once you have the devices regisered on the app, then you can enable a setting and select which 2 devices you want. On the topic of "2 devices", I guess Is should have read more on this feature. But I use 2 PCs at home, a media and a work/gaming PC. And I really would have liked to be able to on the fly, switch between audio of both. But it turns out that you can only connect to 1 phone, and something else. It can be 2 phones, but not 2 PCs. Included Accessories (3/5) The case it comes with is great. Hard-shell clam design, with some neat nook where you can shove the USB C charging cable, audio cable and airplane adapter thing. But as much as I like the quality and how it snuggly holds on to and protects the headphones. Not sure if mine is a fluike, but whoever decided to sew the elastic mesh bag on the 'bottom' part of the clam. Kind of silly. The audio cable is 'OK' if you use it for your phone. But if you want to use it for a PC you'll for sure either need an extension or a longer cable period. But at least it's a usesable lenght albeit a little conservative. But the USB type c charging cable. I hope you have a USB hub available. Depending on the case/setup you have. I'm pretty sure a lot of people wouldn't be able to use that cable to connect the headphones to their PC's back USB ports. Well you could do it, but depending on your case or setup. The headphones won't be able to rest on either the top of your case, or the desk/floor it's own. They'll end up dangling. (Which I think would be a bad idea.)
