    Amazing headphones. But I also upgraded from LogiTech ones, so I was bound to like them. I mean every one already knows that they are the best sound quality and noise cancellation out there. But I wanted to talk about other features, it can connect to multiple bluetooth sources of audio, so you could go from listening to music on your phone to attending a meeting on your pc seamlessly. This feature is pretty good for me, since I work from home. Also picking up calls on the phone, the microphone is amazing.

    Tried the XM3 version before and decided to get the Bose QC-35II because of bluetooth connectivituy. The XM4 reviews said this problem was fixed, so when Best Buy had these on sale I decided to try them. The XX4 is better than the 35IIs in bluetooth device switching (almost instant as opposed to switching in app). Tonal range is better, noise cancelling is better and more adjustable and the equalizer setting in the app are great - only con is the ear cushions require more placement adjustment to be comfortable

    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.

      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 Sony_US

    PROS Best noise cancellation on the market. Good sound Great battery life CONS No charger, really SONY not charger? I had to go buy one. Short cords, I had to go out and spend more money on cords. Case only fits headphones if you shrink it down to the min size. Great headphones. They are the best I have seen for noise cancellation. But Sony cheaped out on the accessories which is why it isn't a 5 star. They probably saved $5 per headphone but made me spend $15 to get accessories that actually worked. I didn't like the phone app because it needed data access to get all the features working and I don't get data all the time.
