Surprising upgrade to xm3
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony wh-1000xm3's were almost perfect. Best headphones on the market, until now. The Sony wh-1000xm4 fixed the few MINOR improvements wh-1000xm3's needed. I don't know if a "perfect headphone" exists, but if it does, it's the xm4!

A Blast to the Past
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This headset was what I thought I wanted to replace my old Sony that was 15 years old. It seemed uncomfortable for long use. It was too heavy and too pricy. I saw so many new choices I had to try.

Noise Cancellation.
