Title: 100% Real Review
Review: I really like these. I've owned the Sony XM5s and the Bose Q45s, not counting the Skull Crushers, Marshall's, Beats Solos, and Soundcore Q35s, because none of those compare to the first two. I will keep it real here, these are not the 5s or 45s in sound, or design quality, but they shouldn't be. I paid over $300 for those two and paid a 3rd of the price for these. I got these used for like $86.The Sound Quality on these Sonys are very good not great for the music I listen to. I listen to mostly Hip-hop, then r&b, Soul, and Gospel when in the mood. These for sure bump. The bass on these are clean, crisp, and just bang. The bass is actually better than any of the headphones listed above. I consider myself an audiophile, I've always been into music and quality sound. Searching for the best sound I can find. The mids and highs on these don't compare to the 5s or 45s at all but they also aren't bad. For the price, build quality, and battery life, you can't go wrong. If you love strictly vocals these don't super shine in that category. If you love bass and want a nice clean sharp sounding headphones, that should last a while, these are amazing for what I paid for them. If these go up to original price in the mid $200s I would just spend a little more for the 5s because those are the best headphones I've ever heard from the ones I've listened to. For sub $100, for the music I listen to, these can't be beat. My one and only complaint, which has been mentioned in the comments, is they don't get as loud as I'd like, which is sad because they for sure can handle it. At full blast they will give you a great experience and the noise canceling is very good. Again the 5s and 45s are better at noise canceling by a small margin, see a theme here? But on a plane, I zone out, and am in my own world.Bottom line you won't be disappointed unless you want to lose your hearing at a young or old age I guess, and need honestly speaking, too much volume. I wish I had more volume but not by much. These work just fine, and it's probably a good thing they don't get louder because I'd listen to them as loud as they would go, that's just me.

Title: Very, Very Bass Heavy
Review: I love this product. I was considering saving for the WH-1000XM4's, but I wanted a pair of Sony headphones really bad. So I bought these when they were $100 off, and I do not regret it.Great features and sound quality is amazing. Voices are clear, bass is very thumpy, and the volume definitely gets up there. I mainly use them for gaming, listening to music, and watching videos. I have no problems using these for any of these activities. The noise cancelling is mind-blowing. These are my first pairs of ANC Headphones, and I am very impressed. It blocks out taps and clicks and outside voices are barely heard. The feature where you can put your hand over the right earcup and it brings in outside audio I super useful. When someone walks in my room to talk for a second, I can just hold my hand there for the conversation. If it is a little more than just a short convo, i usually turn on the Ambient sound mode for eaiser listening without taking the heaphones off.The build quality is also amazing. The earcup rotation is very nice for when i'm not using them and can hang them around my neck. The hardshell travel case is super, super nice. When i'm done with them, I always put them in the case because if anything happens, they are very safe.Comfort wise, I am very impressed. These fit around my ears perfectly and do not hurt after long periods of time wearing them. When I put them on, I can feel the earcups griping onto my ears not too much, but not to the point where they will fall off my head. This definitely helps play a huge role in the sound quality and noise cancelling. It makes it so much better and just a much more imersive experience.Overall, these are very high-quality headphones. I would recommend them as first-time ANC Headphones if it wasn't for the $248.99 price tag. But if you ever see these at a much lower price and are looking for high-quality, comfortable headphones, these will not disapoint.

Title: Incredible performance, and a great included case, but underwhelming build quality
Review: The performance of the headphones, as well as the noise cancellation are superb. These are the absolute best you can get for the price. They're comfortable, the app support is nice, and the connection is stable. The noise cancellation is incredible. It outperforms headphones 3x as expensive. I was able to use these side by side with airpods max and these are extremely comparable, if not outright superior. I particularly like the wind noise reduction feature. You can have noise cancellation while sitting next to a fan or while walking in windy weather and it doesn't make that noise that all other noise cancelling headphones do.The build quality is sub par though. The headphones feel nice in the hand but you can tell that it wouldn't take much force at all to snap one of the earcups clean off. I genuinely think that these headphones wouldn't survive a fall from waist height let alone from head height. If you plan on taking these headphones with you anywhere outside of your room you should use the very nice included case. The case is firm on the outside and very plush and cushioned on the inside. Similar to the case included with the Steam Deck, for the sake of comparison. If you discard the case and throw these headphones in a bag with a laptop, I really don't think they'd survive. They're that fragile.

Review: I originally bought the Beats Studio 3 Wireless headphones. Was not impressed to say the least. Bought these instead as Sony's are going to be good quality headphones - just need the extra $$$. Was 100% worth it.I use these as my work-from-home headphones. I use them for 6-8 hours a day. Used for a week so far. What's great about them:- Comfortable fit. They actually fit around my ears (not on top of them like many headphones).- Noise cancellation is decent. Low freq. are gone. Can still hear some talking from my kids, slight piano from downstairs, etc. but overall it's good enough and is way better than without.- I had issues with the Beats Studio3 in that they kept disconnecting from my PC. These Sony's never disconnect and actually have a feature where you can connect to 2 bluetooth devices at the same time! Very nice feature. The bluetooth range is really far too. I can be anywhere in my house and listen (3 story house with 4 bedrooms).#1 issue though is too much bass. These headphones are known for having too much bass and mids. The good news is that you can adjust the mix by using the Sony Headphones app. The EQ stays adjusted on the headphones too, so you can adjust the EQ then use the headphones on your PC, etc. with the adjusted values. After turning most of the bass down, reducing some mids and boosting the highs these headphones are more than decent.So, if you are an audiophile and need super-accurate sound quality then don't go for these. But if you don't want to fork out like $500CAD on the high-end Sony's, or are in the market for Beats Studio3 Wireless (or that range), then these are awesome.I will be keeping them and keep using as my daily drivers.

Review: Son mis primeros headphones de este precio, ya he probado otros productos Sony de gamas bajas como los ch510 y los ex110ap y querÃa dar el salto a los 1000xm4 pero decidà probar con algo intermedio.En primer instancia son bastante cómodos y el asistente de Google o alexa funcionan muy bien, con herramientas que casi no he probado o no conocÃa.El estuche no esta nada mal, funciona bien para protegerlos. El auxiliar que viene se nota algo frágil pero tengo auxiliares de sobra y mejores si algo pasa.La cancelación de ruido puede variar en gustos de cada quien, yo probe los audÃfonos en tiendas departamentales antes de decidir si comprarlos o no, esa serÃa mi recomendación. La cancelación de ruido pasiva es bastante buena, excelente. Los headphones tienen un pequeño ruido agudo que es la cancelación de ruido activa que no me molesta , ya que para mà elimina parte del ruido externo pero a veces me funciona mejor el modo ruido del viento para mitigar mejor el ruido externo, pero en general te acostumbras o no lo percibes cuando escuchas música, esto les pasa a todos los dispositivos por igual aún no se llega a una eliminación del 100% no esperes eso. El modo ambiente es otra cosa, en verdad escucho todo a detalle, me gusta bastante cuando cruzó las calles o cuando alguien me pregunta algo es bastante útil, los comandos táctiles son bastante precios en mi caso y muy útiles. En cuestión de baterÃa llevo casi 4 meses con ellos y solo los he cargado 2 veces, les dura bastante la baterÃa, claro que depende el usuario, porqué también los conecto por auxiliar para ver pelÃculas con Dolby que no consume baterÃa en mi laptop o algún otro dispositivo.El micrófono ha funcionado bien las pocas veces que lo he usado, honestamente no me ha importado este apartado ni lo he probado a fondo, aún usando cubrebocas. En mis clases en lÃnea yo tengo un micrófono Rode por eso no le prestó importancia.Ahora la parte mas complicada, el audio, sabÃa que estos audÃfonos eran extrabass y auque ya los habÃa probado en entornos ruidos los uso más en lugares silenciosos y si noto que los audÃfonos amplifican mas los bajos y los agudos y medios quedan mas de lado (esto en un principio me decepciono y pensé en regresarlos decidà darles una oportunidad) puede parecer general pero el audio si varÃa en el dispositivo en que hagas la conexión y el contenido que estes mirando, cuando uso Netflix o prime en laptop, aprovecho bastante el sonido Dolby, además tengo la licencia de Dolby en mi pc, es bastante bueno el audio, la música también es excelente, en el teléfono puede variar dependiendo la calidad de la pista que estes escuchando, por lo regular uso mp3 o flac,no siempre se notan los bajos dependiendo la pista o incluso la mejora. Te acostumbras con estos headphones, la verdad es saber aprovecharlos y saber en dónde usarlos, para que los usarás y cómo, para poder explotar su potencial, para mi son muy útiles y excelentes. Claro que el gusto rompe en géneros .

Review: I am writing this review after a whole month of use. So do read till the end. I wrote few tips to improve the sound quality too at the end.Pros: 1. Good quality ANC. Completely blocks low frequency noises.2. Very good sound quality (require little bit of tweaking on Sony app, see my screenshots posted above)3. Very felixible, good passive noise cancelling through ear cups.4. Ear cups are of very good quality and can support big stick out ears too.5. Hard case for travel friendliness and protection.6. Awesome microphone quality for a bluethooth headphone. Blocks lots of external noises for phone calls.Cons: 1. Less premium plasticy build (although it is very turdy)2. Default equalizer does not sound great. One must tweak it or atleast use "Bright" equalizer preset mode in sony app.3. It can not block high frequency noises that well. If you need complete noise cancellation shell out 30k and purchase XM5. Do not look for 30k quality ANC in a 10k headphone. Set your expectations accordind to budget.Tips: 1. For android users out there: Must turn on LDAC on your bluetooth settings. After pairing with this headphone, go to your bluetooth setting in phone settings. Then settings for WH-XB910N. There under the codecs option turn on LDAC.2. In Sony App DO NOT TURN ON "Connect 2 devices simultaneously" option. It will disable LDAC and sound quality will be degraded.3. In sony-headphone-app turn on DSEE mode.4. In sony-headphone-app, for bluetooth connection quality, Choose "Priority on Sound quality"5. I have put an image of my personal manual equalizer settings. Use that or modify it as your ear likes. If you do not like bass, reduce the clear bass all the way to 0 for phone calls. Save 2 custom equalizer, one for music/movie with bass boost, another for zoom call/video call/regular call with 0 bass. (Thank me later for these tips)These 5 setting tweak will change the music quality drastically. Check my screenshots posted above for guidance.Final verdict: Those who do not tweak these settings they will keep complaining about this headphone. But this is the best 10k I have ever spent on a gadget. S0ny wins hearts.

Review: I bought this in anticipation for a trip, and I wanted to have mostly noise cancelling while on the plane. If the setting is SUPER noisy, the noise cancelling doesn't work super well. I could still hear the plane engine pretty well, but it was dimmed to a point where it wasn't as noticeable, I was even able to nap with them.For daily use, the battery is great, I love the bass and adaptivity through the mobile app. I'll wear these when I have to go to the mall or somewhere pretty crowded, and the noise cancelling in those situations has been fantastic at blocking out noise and I'm not as overstimulated when I bring them. On top of that they're comfortable for long term wear, adjustable and easy to pack away when needed.I did a lot of research before buying a headset, I usually don't spend a lot of money on headsets, but this was definitely worth the money for me. It's not super heavy like most noise cancelling headsets, it's great quality sound, and in my opinion worth the money if this is the first big ticket headset you're buying.

Some are also happy with the battery life and ease of use. However, some customers differ on sound quality, quality, value for money, and Bluetooth connectivity.
