GREAT!! Wonderful noise cancellation.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After using this product for couple months now i am absolutely IN LOVE with my purchase not to mention the great customer service you get from the Best Buy employee who made my experience easy when i had to come in for an exchange. I love the hands free fetures this headset has, it is great for the gym, Cancels out so much background noise and I love how personize you can make these headphones to your prefured audio experience. It had Alexa built in if you use alexa a lot this would be another great devise to add. Only issue i have with it is that the pairing experience is quite hard to connect to whenever i want to switch to use on another device but maybe thats just me, and also how when i run or move my head too fast it likes to slide off my head but other than those minor details its a great pair of headphones.

Worth the Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical on spending a high price for these but they were definitely worth it. The connect seemlessly with all my bluetooth devices. The app to manage which devices I can connect to is also really helpful for when I need to switch between devices. The noise canceling feature is also top notch. It's helpful for when I'm watching TV and I could just drown out the noise in the background. Highly recommend getting these headphones if you're in need for something more premium.

Multipoint doesn't work with iPhone + Mac
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own the previous model (WH-1000XM3) and love them but I bought the XM4's for their multipoint connection. I really wanted to simultaneously connect my personal iPhone 11 for music and work M1 MacBook for zoom calls. Unfortunately multipoint doesn't work for an iPhone and a Mac. Others reviewers have been okay with other device combinations, but whenever I played iPhone music I got silence (beautiful noise-cancelled silence I might add!) They didn't seem to want to switch from the MacBook even though it had no audio apps open. So I upgraded the XM4's firmware (via Sony's app), did multiple factory resets, paired and re-paired - but always the same. Spent a day at it, but ultimately returned them. If you don't need multipoint get the XM3's: They're incredibly comfortable and the ANC is unsurpassed.
