Rock solid noise cancelling and sound, but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.XM4 has amazing sound and its noise cancelling ability is unparalleled (I own bose 700 (weaker in sound) and B&W PX7 (weaker in noise cancelling)). The Sony iphone app also has a build-in equalizer. I bought this because of the ability to connect to two devices at once. This feature is a little buggy but I manage to get it to work with an iphone and ipad.

Nice sound but Bluetooth connectivity issue
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this during thanksgiving, assuming this was a good product. However this model has serious connectivity issues. It does not automatically connect to your paired Bluetooth device (at least my headphone) and you need to reset the headphone every time before connecting which is pain. Quite disappointed but I am sure Sony will fix it in future.

Posted .Hi AshwiniM,
We're so sorry to hear you’re having such a frustrating experience with your WH-1000XM4s.
We definitely want to get this fixed for you so you can actually enjoy your music. Please try these steps to see if they clear up that connection glitch:
-Make sure to check the Sony | Sound Connect app for any available firmware updates.
-Go into your device’s Bluetooth settings and "Forget" the headphones. Then, do the same on any other devices they might be paired to.
-Try a initialization. Find detailed instructions here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wh1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP0002752746.html
If those steps don't stop the issue, please reach out to our Support Team directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

Xm3, but 30% better
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really recommend reading xm3 reviews and decide: If you would pay 350 for the xm3 even thought those are cheaper, then totally buy the xm4. Xm4: - More comfortable - Usage detection - Like 5% better ANC - Speak to deactivate ANC - Better microphone - Connect to two bluetooth devices
