The Best Just Got Better
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If this is the only sentence of my review that you read, know that these are the best noise cancelling headphones that you can buy! I already own the XM3s and know how great they are, so when I saw they were releasing the XM4s I knew I had to try them out. Sony has amazed me once again. FIT and FINISH: --------------------- The XM4s retain the same styling as the previous XM3, however Sony has made slight and subtle changes to give them an even more premium feel. The black matte finish feels more texturized than the previous models and the headband and ear cut padding feels slightly more robust. They fit comfortably on all head sizes and the ear cups are generously sized and fit easily over the ears, forming a nice seal with your head. They're extremely lightweight and even while wearing for long listening sessions, they've never given me any sort of ear fatigue, even while wearing glasses. They come with a very nice molded carrying case, and include a USB-C cable, audio cable and airline audio adapter. SOUND: ----------- In a word – amazing. From super low, heavy Bass to crystal clear highs, and everything in between, the XM4s deliver. Even right out of the box using a flat eq setting, they make your music come alive. When using the available Sony Headphones Connect companion app, you can fine tune your audio experience to exactly how you like it. I’m a big bass guy, and most Wireless headphones cannot reproduce the rumbling or tight and punchy heavy bass that I like , especially when listening to rock and heavy metal. But these handle extremely heavy bass with no distortion at all. You can dial in as much bass, midrange and high frequencies as you would like, using preset EQ settings or customizing them to your own specific values. Even at high volumes the audio is crystal clear and never distorts. The noise cancellation Is really the star here as well because it's simply the best I've ever heard. While they still use the same QN1 noise cancelling processor from the previous model, they have updated the software and coupled with a brand new Bluetooth audio system on a chip, the noise cancellation Is incredible and really immerses you in what you're listening to. They also support high resolution audio, and have a feature called 360 reality audio, which will create a surround sound experience using one of the compatible audio apps. Also new to the XM4s is something called DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine). Coupled with new AI software it will upscale compressed digital music to provide a richer or fuller experience. With all of these new enhancements, I can tell an audio quality difference between the XM3 and the XM4 but it's not a drastic amount of change, it really is just a fine tuning of the overall audio experience, which again is outstanding. NOISE CANCELLATION: --------------------------------- The reason you're getting these headphones is for the noise cancelling, and it really is stellar. Like I said they still use the same processor from last generation but with new software and some new internal hardware the noise cancellation is even better than before. One of the great things about these headphones is you can dial in your own level of noise cancellation. You start by running the noise cancellation optimizer which will dynamically tailor the sound to the size of your head, the size of your ears, if you're wearing eyeglasses, even if you're flying using their atmospheric pressure optimizing. Full noise cancellation essentially silences the outside world , leaving you alone with your music or programming. But you can also tailor various levels of ambient sound. You can set different levels of noise cancellation for your activity, such as going for a walk or going for a run or using public transportation etc. You can tell the headphones how much or how little noise cancellation you would like in each of those settings. They also feature something called quick attention, which allows you to quickly turn the noise cancellation and volume down and let surrounding ambient sound into the headset in case you need to speak to someone or hear what's going on around you. You just simply place your hand over the ear cup. They can also learn your favorite locations, so that they can immediately apply your customized adaptive sound control and noise cancellation to places you frequently visit like your office or a coffee shop etc. EASE OF USE: --------------------- They also have a lot of neat features that Make using the headphones easy and effortless. To start with they offer 30 hours of battery life and can quick charge using USB type C. I've been using them for the last few days and I have yet to drain the battery down to 0%. But I can say that the quick charge feature offers a huge boost in playback life in just 10 to 15 minutes of charging. They offer integration With both Google Assistant and Alexa, and they also offer Bluetooth connection To two devices. This comes in very handy then you might be working on a laptop but it would also like to stream music from your phone. You can ever so effortlessly go back and forth between audio source of both devices without having to disconnect pair unpair etc. They also offer a new microphone array to improve the hands-free calling feature which works as well as you could expect but the hands-free calling is just OK. While audio is clear it's not anything that I found that amazing, but it's certainly just fine need to make hands free calls. They also offer fingertip controls on the outside of the ear cups, But I've found these controls to be sort of clunky , not that intuitive or at least not registering my intended gestures the first or even second time. So while they are nice to have I rarely if ever use them. There is also a new feature called speak to chat, which allows the headphones to recognize when you begin talking and turn off any noise cancellation And switch to ambient sound. The thinking here is if you start talking the headphones assume you're having a conversation And will turn off the noise cancellation. I have found that in ideal conditions this works just fine but if you're in a situation where you might make a sound or say something out loud , even singing along with music this can become a hassle, so I leave this setting turned off but it's nice to know that it's there. OVERALL: -------------- As I stated at the very beginning of this review, these headphones are simply amazing. What Sony has done with the XM4s is take the stellar foundation they had built in the previous model and expanded upon it, and they have created simply the best sounding headphones I've ever used.
