  • Better Than XM5
Color: Silver
**Disclaimer: I bought mine used like new through Amazon I originally purchased the Sony XM5 because they were soooo highly rated in every article I read. I returned the XM5, got the XM4 and am so much happier. I'll compare the XM4 to the XM5, Apple AirPods Max, and Bose QuietComfort 45 - just to help anyone choosing between them. **Noise Cancellation (4.5/5): the noise cancellation on the XM4 is crazy, almost comparable to the Apple AirPods Max. I gave the XM4 a 4.5 because I still think the Apple AirPods Max have the best noise cancellation, but the Sony XM4 is very close. I also like the fact that you can turn noise cancelling on/off with a button - which is a feature not available with the Bose QuietComfort 45. The noise cancellation is much better than the XM5 and less finicky. An issue with the XM5 is that the noise cancelling would just randomly turn on/off. Like if I paused a video for a little too long, the noise cancellation would just turn off. Overall, I wouldn't say I it blocks out all sound, but it's close. I can hear the sound of people talking and music, but it's quieter and I can't make out the words. I definitely can't have a conversation with them on. Also, the XM4 will pick up on when you're talking to people and turn the noise cancelling off for you - but it does make a little announcement when it does that may be annoying or disruptive. ****Edit Nov. 2025 (re Noise Cancellation): Sooo, when I first wrote the review, I didn't mention there is an app ("Sound Connect") where you pair your XM4 (and XM5) headphones and can adjust some settings. I wrote my review based on how the headphones performed without the app (with their default settings). But, with the app, you can adjust the noise cancellation, ambient sound control, adaptive sound control, noise cancelling optimizer, speak-to-chat, 360 audio, etc. After adjusting the settings on my XM4s, I was able to fix some of the issues I mentioned in my original review - like, I turned off the the adaptive sound control and announcements for noise cancelling. I did use the app with the XM5s but it never fixed a lot of the issues I had. The app is kind of... meh. It's user friendly in the way it looks (like I think everything is pretty easy to find), but it doesn't really explain what anything means/does. Also, sometimes the noise cancelling setting just randomly changes anyways, which is a little annoying (like the app really wants noise cancelling ON, even if you don't). **Sound Quality (4/5): the sound quality is great. Way better than the XM5, not as great as the Apple AirPods Max. I think the Apple headphones are just a little crisper. I think it's cool that you can turn 360 sound on, but tbh I never really use it (XM5 also has this feature). The sound is clear, and I haven't experienced any malfunctions/issues with the noise. When I had the XM5, they would just randomly sound muffled (like I was underwater) and, when that wasn't happening, the sound quality was mediocre. **Comfort (5/5): the XM4s are REALLY comfy. I wear glasses with plastic frames and a lot of headphones just don't work and are really uncomfy. The Apple AirPods Max were really uncomfortable with my glasses. Obviously, an easy solution is to just wear contacts, but I hate wearing my contacts for long periods of time - especially, when I study/do work. The XM5 were also pretty comfortable, but wouldn't stay fixed when I adjusted them - they would slip and I would need to readjust them a lot. The XM4 completely cover my ear and the ear pads are soft. They don't squeeze my head the way other headphones do and they don't hurt any part of my ear. I will say that the headband part that rests on top of my head does kind of hurt my head after wearing them for almost 10 hours. Also, I have TMJ so sometimes wearing the headphones does cause my TMJ to flare up and I'll switch to earbuds. But, I think overall these are the most comfortable headphones I have tried. **Product Quality (3.5/5): let's be honest, they're plastic and they feel plastic. They don't feel like super high quality, but let me tell you that they feel way better quality than the XM5 - those felt like a barbie toy. I think the XM4 are sturdy and pretty durable. The Apple AirPods Max are also plastic, but do feel a little more high quality - but also, nothing spectacular. **Aesthetic (3.5/5): If the aesthetic is important to you, I would say they look fine. They're a little bulky, but not terrible. Not as sleek as some others, but they don't look ridiculous. If you're really against a bulky look, then they may not be a great aesthetic match for you. I was worried they would be really clunky, but after getting them and wearing them for a bit, I really don't think they look bad. **Connectivity (4/5): I only have Apple devices (iPhone, MacBook, etc.) and I think the connectivity is great with these products! When I got the XM5, they had so many connection issues. I wasn't able to connect them to my laptop, they wouldn't stay connected to my devices - it was a mess. I was really worried I would have the same issues with the XM4, but I have had no problems so far. I will say it was a little odd to have have to download the Sony Connect app and manage the headphone through that platform, but it's user friendly and it's kind of nice to have a control for them (it's almost like a remote). **Battery Life (5/5): The battery life is insane. I've had them for 8 days and have not charged them yet - they still have about 40% charge left. They will turn off automatically to save battery life if you don't use them for a certain amount of time, which I personally like. OVERALL (4.5/5): I think the XM4 are great headphones for a better price than the Apple AirPods Max. The Bose are apparently really similar, but I've never personally tried them. The XM4 is MUCH better than the XM5 in terms of quality and price. They're comfy, great noise cancellation and sound quality, and have great battery life. EDIT 11/6/25: I have these headphones over 2 years later and still use them almost everyday. They are still in great condition (almost the same as when I bought them) - they still look, sound, and operate great. I only really use them at work, when I'm doing chores, or going on a walk (not working out or anything) and I store them in their case - but STILL, some headphones die before they even hit a year. The only thing I've noticed is that the part where you can adjust the headband size has gotten a little weaker, but not by much - so I have to readjust them every so often, but this isn't that big of an issue for me. ... show more

  • Very pleasantly surprised! Great for focusing on work w/o completely shutting out your surroundings.
Color: Midnight Blue
I never used noise cancelling headphones before, but I work from home, and the outside noise this summer is too distracting. I was going nuts! These are perfect for me to focus while working at my desk. I put on a light, nature ambiance video from YouTube and the world is blocked out enough for me to focus. They also work great without any audio - just noise blocking. I can still hear a very light noise from the fan or my dogs which is what I prefer; I don't want to be completely shut off from my surroundings - just not driven to distraction. Phone calls come through fine from my mobile - clear sound. I should have bought these long ago for my own peace & sanity. I haven't read the instructions to figure out the touch controls on the headset yet, but I have accidentally bumped it and shut off the volume. Better read up on that function. So far I've controlled everything from my mobile phone. They are comfortable on my ears and don't interfere with my blue-blocker glasses or earrings. They also don't snag my long hair. The only concern is the longevity of the pad around the ear. It is a very soft & light material. It feels great so I hope it lasts. I'll just be careful with it. Color: I ordered the midnight blue. Well - they are almost black. I cannot tell they are not black. In fact when they arrived, I forgot that I ordered blue until the next day when the sunlight caught the hard case and showed a bit lighter shade. So if you really like blue, these may disappoint. It's not a deal-breaker for me. I just get tired of everything being black and wanted some color. But they look black anyway. :/ Case: a big plus! I wasn't really considering the case when I purchased these since they'll rarely leave my desk. But if I were still doing a lot of air travel, I would be very grateful for this hard case. Zipper works smooth; there's a little loop on the outside to hang/clip the case and a mesh pocket. The inside is compartmentalized efficiently with the cord also. Great packaging, Sony! I've only used these cordless, so I can't comment on the included cord. Charging: the headset has a plug for apple chargers and another for regular C chargers. I have android and was stumped for few seconds when I couldn't connect my charging cord. (oops) Just another reminder for me why I do not buy anything apple. These are excellent in my opinion. Pricey, but they should last me a long time and will help me get my work done without all of the distractions. I bought these on a July prime deal for $193. I would never have tried them at regular price, but I have to say they are worth the value if you have that budget. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Probably the best I've ever had
Color: Black
By far the best sounding headphones I've ever owned. Noise cancellation is top notch. I ended up selling these because the BT mode has a noticeable audio delay when paired with a computer, so it was useless to me when playing games. I started using them connected through cable (which is a great option to have, don't get me wrong), but that means you get no noise cancelling and you are yet again tethered to your computer. If it wasn't for the bluetooth delay these would've been my favorite headphones ever, by far. I didn't take any stars off because if I had done a little bit of research before buying them I would've known about the audio latency issue. Can't really comment on comfort (even though they are lighter than most over-ear headphones I've owned), because I have never ever found a single over ear headphone that isn't uncomfortable in one way or another (I recognize this is a "me" issue). ... show more

  • Best Wireless Headphones on the Market
Color: Black
Best headphones I've ever owned, amazing ANC, wired + wireless is perfect for work and play. I've owned these a long time now and they are still working perfectly. Use them every single day, no issues at all. Great value and a worthy investment for sound quality, durability, and reliability. They are light on my head and only get uncomfortable with hours upon hours of use. Battery lasts a good amount of time and adjustable size for heads is great, and LOVE the foldable hinges, which are strong and super portable. Color does not fade away. I know a lot of people have had issues with the build quality of XM5s, but there's none of that here. I've yet to try to XM6s, but honestly, there's not much to improve in my opinion. ... show more
