The Beasts But Updated
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are fantastic headphones. The active noise cancellation is top notch and the sound quality is amazing. The only downside to these headphones are that there are only 3 colors to choose from but other then that I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

Very nice...and the blue doesn't hurt either....
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality LDAC, excellent ANC, and utilize the wired connection for a better sound option (saves battery life as well). Got the midnight blue. I had the XM3s and no real difference...except if you need multi-point connections.

Bose vs. Sony?
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these. After years of being a Bose customer I struggled with a change to Sony. The Sony set sounded like it offered more noise reduction and felt lighter to wear during long days of virtual conference calls. I am not sorry I bought Sony - love them.

Great Noise Canceling, average call quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling at these XM4 is still one of the best in the market. The call quality continues to be average as the update on the microphone appears to be very small compared with XM3 version. Having the ability to pair two devices simultaneously is the main and probably only justification if you want to upgrade from XM3.

Unmatched Sound and Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Top of the line piece of electronics. I had the WH-1000XM2 and these are way better than those. I like the feel of them. As always they isolate sound perfectly. I would buy again in a min if I had to. I got these for the sale price of $279. Can't beat that!!!
