Great quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using the previous version for 5+ years, still working, but needed to update, I loved the folding on my XM3 so that's why i went with the 4 instead of the newer 5. Definitely worth!

Posted .Hi MichaelA,
We are glad to hear you find the WH-1000XM4 a nice set of headphones, and we recognize that the preference for our models versus Bose is highly subjective, particularly concerning comfort and the exact noise-canceling profile. While many users prefer the Sony sound quality and advanced features like LDAC support and Speak-to-Chat, the Bose models are often lauded for their lightweight comfort and effective cancellation of specific low frequencies. We encourage you to customize your sound signature using the EQ in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to maximize your enjoyment.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

The best headphones I have ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The app makes these come alive. Trust when I say Tidal and their 360 audio make music sound like an album. The noise canceling and touch pad on the right are the cherry on top.

Works Great - Proximity Sensor Poorly Placed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Work fantastically. Knocked a star for the plastic proximity sensor inside the ear cup. My ear pushes right on it and causes discomfort after a few hours. The sensor adds the auto pausing feature. But I would trade it away for not having it rubbing on my ear.

Posted .Hi marasrocha, we're glad you love our product. Intelligent and intuitive, the WH-1000XM4 headphones offer further improvements to our industry-leading noise cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and smart listening that adjusts to your behavior and your location. Using the Sony Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow voices alone to be heard. For total convenience, WH-1000XM4 headphones can be paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time. So when a call comes in, your headphones know which device is ringing and connect to the right one automatically. You'll also be able to quickly, smoothly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Earl

New features not that amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound and ANC are great. Switching between devices when connected to multiple is still very sketchy. Random disconnects even at close range. The mute-when-talk feature sounds great, but not if you find yourself singing along to your music at all. Not really worth the upgrade from the XM3's

Posted .Hi Sneake, we're glad that you like the sound quality and noise canceling function. Make sure to update the software of the headphones (via Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. You do have the option to turn off the Speak-to-Chat function by holding 2 fingers to the touch sensor control panel. When using the multipoint function, make sure to turn off or pause the music playback of the device that is not in use. You may refer to this link for more information:
