I also own them and while they aren’t exactly “audiophile” they are quality units, good features and a good sound, more so if you use a source better than an iPhone without an amp/dac.

Perhaps we are disagreeing on sound signature over sound quality. Because the quality of the Sony, in my option, is quite good, even if I’m not in love with the signature/flavour.

Maybe my unit’s defective but it just sounds like a crap gaming headset to me, no detail, very muddy, weak bass, poor separation. I should try another pair to see if mine are just broken or something, as I got these because people said good things but I just don’t see it.

I am using with an iPhone via Bluetooth but obviously if I plug it in I might as well just run a proper pair of headphones

Hmmm, what you’re saying about the Muddyness isn’t terrible wrong to my ears, but there is detail and separation in the mids, I think. Have you set them up with the Sony headphones app and using decent res source, even Spotify on ‘high’ quality should be enough to make them sound decent. Are we talking about the XM4 True Wireless?

Sorry I was snappy in first post mate.

No worries mate. You know what, I’ve just dusted them off and played with the eq. They sounded fine, until I then listened to the same song on my dt 700s. I think I over reacted calling them bad, they’re just not on low end audiophile headphone levels.

Nice one, glad you tried them again, and I like your assessment of not quite audiophile quality. I want a pair of DT770 Pro, I’ll probably grab a pair soon. Have a good one mate.

Check out the 700s if you have the budget, I never had the 770s but I did have 990s and upgraded to 900s and they are a step up, so much so I bought the closed backs and they’re very impressive too. Especially if you like a bit of thump in the bass

Gaming headset? Are you talking about the wh xm4s by chance? This post mentions the WF xm4s, which are the earbuds
