Love the comfort, love the sound quality, and really loved the noise cancelling ability.

These headphones have amazing sound, their comfort is good enough, and noise cancelling works well

They have a very long battery life, great sound quality and comfort

Crazy good sound and bass and unparalleled noise cancelling

On the other hand, if you listen Amazon Music HD or Qobuz (Tidal uses MQA, so will not play Hi Fi here), please try, to really impress yourself, to deactivate DSEE and ambient sound or noise cancelling: it will be difficult to believe this sound over Bluetooth!When you go back to noise cancelling, try activating DSEE to see if it clouds detail or enhances your music (sometimes, from classical to modern genres this and the equalizer are essential)

The sound is crisp and clear.2) Excellent noise cancelling – get into your own world with these headphones on

But compared to my Bose QC35s these things are loud when canceling noise.

While you can disable the noise-canceling feature on the Sennheisers, you can't hear ambient sounds well without taking them off.

Some guidance: to change the volume, especially lower it, swipe down on the right ear as if you are petting it

I would still recommend these as they have the far superior ANC.

These are a great set of headphones and provide a great ANC and sound experience thanks to their customization options and light but durable build.

I think that my only upgrade path from the 4.50BNC was the 450BT, but I'm reading that the ANC is slightly worse on those

I brought XM4s looking for quality sounding closed-back headphones with good ANC and not the other way around.

I tried different noise cancellation headphones, like skull candy, bose, this one has an excellent noise cancellation feature, along with that the headphones app is really good where we can customize the sound

Too many features made simple tasks like pairing difficult.

In my opinion the most important feature of any brand of headphones is the quality of sound.

The previous version of this headphones (i.e. XM3) had amazing sound, but lack this important feature of connecting to different devices

I love these headphones for their amazing sound quality and features

Pausing music by taking off the left earphone can be finicky at times

I have a really nice set of headphones that I use for pure music enjoyment

It automatically pauses music when you take it off and turns it on when you put it back on (you can disable this also)15

However, taking the headphones off (or putting them on), I’ve accidentally turned music on as it mistook the contact as a command.

it makes the compressed music sounds much better!. Call quality, is equal on both

Crazy good sound and bass and unparalleled noise cancelling

The deep warm bass works well for movies and similar entertainment.

I previously had the Bose QC25.- this M4 has great noise cancellation just as good or better than the QC25- the sound is great and

Really excited about the excellent noise cancellation and outstanding sound quality

these headphones have simply awesome noise cancellation and sound perfect for me is 10/10

The best noise cancellation over the ear headphones on the market.

ANC had more static white noise which is very apparent in quieter environment

The sound is still crystal clear and the bass is amazing!I use these in the mornings to remove the loud ambient noise of the

Super comfortable, great sound, great automatic noise cancellation

It doesn't even have that annoying loud white noise floor

, now these new Sony WH-1000XM4 blew me out of the water

I'm guessing it's because Sony knows this issue and they have some DSP in these tech rich headphones trying to boost or fix this

I would definitely recommend the Sony WH-1000XM4 if you are searching for a new pair of headphones and on the fence of switching over from Bose

The Sony perform worse than the Bose which was shocking when it comes to noise canceling

It may be an issue with the Samsung Note 10 Phone, or the Samsung wear APP, but the Sony XM4 headphones would sync but not play sound

It does NOT work for controlling other functions on the phone, even changing the volume.

Some people I heard fine, others sounded like 60% volume

Wilkins PX7The Sony pair arrived first and my initial thought was that although they had plenty of cool bells & whistles (touch sensitive volume control, automatic pause when removing them from your head) and the ANC was very effective, they sounded surprisingly flat

You will not be able to listen to a podcast or music unless you crank up the volume, at which point it would damage the ears.

head phones work great the sound canceling work really well,not the fan of the pause play volume the way they

If however, you need the solid NC and are excited about the mobility and convenience and the versatility that these cans can bring, and are okay with the compromise on sound quality as well as the steep asking price, I would say you would be hard-pressed to go anywhere else than the MX4's

They work great for alternative & classic rock, small-group jazz, big band, r&b/hh, orchestral music, chamber music, and folk

I really tried to love my xm4‘s but could not justify not being able to also use them for work

I can even hear background noises from recordings made in the 70’s and 80’s as well as when artists sing out of tune.

If it continues, I'll be forced to return them as defective, but I don't think this is a hardware problem, I suspect it's a software issue

I often mix up L and R and the wonder why my swipes don't work

As I researched I googled around and found that Bose has been having weeks of software issues and didn't want to get into that

I'll break down as much as I can below, I don't consider myself an audiophile

I swapped out my BT4.0 adapter to a BT5.0 adapter on my desktop and with this, I can get ~20 meter range with my XM4, still not quite as good as the H900N gets with BT4, but acceptable for my uses.- Overall, WH-1000XM4 do not sound much better, in fact at default factory settings, the midrange is a bit muffled and bass response bloated versus older headphones, tweaking Clear Bass setting to

I can even hear background noises from recordings made in the 70’s and 80’s as well as when artists sing out of tune.

The controls are a bit fiddly in my opinion, designed for small adjustments (I can live with that as I don't go from soft levels to really cranking it), but the fact that it is easy to hit the wrong control while they are on your head an you reach up and hit the wrong area while fumbling around with something you can't see (I can live with this as a minor annoyance).The headphones collapse well for storage

Because the Sony is cushy with more surface area contact, your ears can feel warmer, good if you live in a cold area I guess.

None of that matters when voices and mouth movements are a full second apart or when snap crackle pop and stutter invade every soundscape

The headphones crackle loudly, louder than the music playing to an actual painful degree making listening to music impossible with the noise cancellation feature on.

The issue with initial syllables getting cut-off appears to be fixed and overall I have reports when using Skype and Zoom from my co-workers is that I now sound as good as (or maybe even a bit better than) other co-workers using Bose NC 700 headphones

Since one of my main use cases was Zoom calls in noisy environments, this was a show stopper.

The XM4 are better for making calls in noisy environments, although the overall quality is mediocre at best

Their whole thing is over sensational world class noise canceling experience and it is one of a kind tbh, but once you give their whole Sony audio experiences like 360 Reality Audio experience a shot, and utilize environments and ecosystems like Tidal which are fully compatible with this notion

Fairly comfortable to wear, being over the ear they do feel a bit warm in hot environments

Noise cancellation is excellent, but the audio isolation by itself is so good that you really don't need noise cancellation turned on until you are in a truly noisy environment

but when my team says I sound like I'm sick or in a tunnel all the time I

I spent quite some time on this and frankly, it's frustrating

Is that a purposeful policy, every time to leave out some important feature, to make more money

All of these shortcomings would be easier to swallow at a lower price-point but spending a small fortune on headphones that don't sound great and feel like they could break the first time you drop them doesn't make very much sense

The biggest issue is the microphone in online meeting, and I assume phone as well, terrible

If I kept the device down for a while and picked it up again for use, while it would still be on, microphone would often not work if I got into zoom calls

Physical buttons would probably be an easier U/I but not by much.

Cons:- Connectivity issues galore (though these could be issues on the OSX/iOS side)
