Prefer Bose QC45
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned these and exchanged them for the Bose QC45 headphones. Why? -Way too hot and ear fatigue after 1 hour Zoom meeting. QC45s perfectly comfortable for recent 3 hour flight. -does not seamlessly pair with multiple devices. So much fiddling with Bluetooth controls to pair and re-pair between devices. Unlike QC45s, which pair seamlessly and immediately. -touch controls not very responsive. Best feature is holding hand over ear to pause music but I can live without that. -sound quality is good, but so is sound from QC45. -noise canceling is perfect but so is qc45.

Posted .Hi Matthew,
Thank you for reaching out to us. While we are glad you like the sound quality and noise canceling features of the WH1000XM4, we're sorry to hear that the headphones was returned due to discomforts while wearing the unit and pairing issues. Adjusting the headband and the earpads properly can help reduce discomfort while wearing the headphones. Multipoint is a function which allows you to connect 2 Bluetooth devices to the headset and use one device for music playback (A2DP connection) and the other for calls. Making sure that software is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements and multipoint connection is turned on using the Sony Headphone|Connect app may help resolved the issue. We greatly appreciate your feedback and we hope that you will shop Sony again in the future. Thanks again for purchasing Sony. - Kris

Nice upgrade from the trusty XM3s!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved the XM3s so much I bought the 4s a couple years later and gave my wife my 3s! The primary upgrade for these is voice calls are much better! Mic works excellently now where before it was just average. Also the dual Bluetooth functionality is great to connect to phone and laptop to use for music and work calls/Teams Calls. Battery life is awesome!

The ultimate NC headset
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was in the market for a noise cancelling headset. I tried the Bose qc45 but it wasn’t as strong. I tried the XM5 and I wasn’t a fan of them either, it honestly seemed like a step down. Finally I went with the XM4 and I do not regret the change. Great bass and even better NC. I was working and heard nothing around me. Some have even used them to mow the lawn. That’s how strong the noise cancellation is.

Great noise canceling headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise canceling headphones. Crystal clear sound & using the swipe & tap on the side of the headphones to control volume & play control is a really cool feature. Also nice feature of being able to turn off noises canceling so can hear ambient noise or someone talking to you & then switch it right back when ready. Pretty nifty. Love these!!

amazing
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.f you are looking for noise cancelation at its best, don't look elsewhere and buy this immediately. Of all the comments that have been said about being not enough this, not able to do that, I think they are all untrue or either an unlucky manufacturing defect. Launch products are not perfect from the start, it's bound to happen. The only thing I do not use are the microphones for making calls, so you can check online and see for yourself about that aspect.
