Meh - the XB910 would have been fine.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tested this for the past 3 days.. so my time is limited but a total of 20 hours. Bluetooth to my computer was easy to setup, but the volume up and down worked and stopped. The audio quality was poor, in games which makes me believe its a driver issue, but I stopped using them because of the performance. - Voice chat was clear and the range was about 50% more than my Logictech headset, allowing me to run to the front door and kitchen without disconnection. Using these headphones on the phone is ok. Audio is great. The Volume up and down touch pad is complete trash and non responsive. Design: great comfort, tested twice for 6 hours straight. Audio: good audio quality, with an app to allow for controlling Base and Treble settings. I bought these on sale and think I over spent for the issues I am having with the touch pad.

WH-1000XM4
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is good. Noise cancelling is good. Bass is definitely there but would not recommend if you are a basshead and looking specifically for bass. The feature to connect to 2 devices at once (a phone and laptop for example) works very well. I can get a call, end the call, then automatically switch back to my laptop.

Great sound, good noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super sound from Sony! I did a little more research after my purchase on what all the noise canceling is supposed to cancel which made me feel better that these do what they're supposed to & 100% noise canceling isn't possible. I bought these to knock down noise from 2 loud kiddos while I'm working on my masters at home. They cut out a ton of normal household hums & noises, but don't quite cut out all of the kids' unpredictable sounds. Ear cups get a little sweaty & overall weight is a little heavy after a couple hours of school work--but that's when I know it's time to be done :-) Lastly, I like the talk, controls, & 2nd bluetooth features.

Simply Awesome Get these Cans!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok I own Beats StudI 3, Power Beats 3, Bowers & Wilkins PX7 and P5, Bose Soundsport, Bose Buds and now Sony M4 and I'm shocked how great the sound. The Ultimate Test Luther Vandross - Evergreen, Impossible Dream and of course Superstar (Live). Wow found app setting on the equalizer "Voice" it reduces the instruments and elevates the vocals - Simply Smooth; Take it to another level set the EQ on "Excited ." Prepare to be blown away. They run close with the Jabra but because the are over the ear better reduction of noise.

Excellent sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the xb910, and the sound wasn’t quite to my liking, even after going through all the sound settings. I returned them and purchased the xm4, and was instantly pleased with the sound. And even more so after going through and setting up my sound preference. Super happy with the sound quality. It doesn’t get super loud as some have mentioned, but that’s probably not a bad thing, as it may save our hearing. And it looks a lot better than the xb910’s.

Very good buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is really good and the multi-connecting really helps. The battery is really good. The noise cancellation and mics are top class. Someone looking for premium headphones can go for these. I think the main con will be the speak to chat. I always keep it disable. Overall it's been more than a month and I am really happy with the product.
