Even if I am not listening to a lecture, the noise cancelling headset amazed me when I did not hear my boys playing and laughing together. also the headphones are comfortable on and around the ears.

Best wireless NC headphones 2020
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling is crazy good and they sound good for what they are, not up to the level of Sony's audiophile grade headphones but they still sound pretty clean and are enjoyable to listen to. They're pretty comfortable aswell and have a good battery life.

XM4's are great! (If cash isn't an issue)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely incredible headset! Separates instruments well, can handle some bass, great and full sound, very good noise canceling. Noise canceling is best when playing a little higher than 50% volume, and truly helps you disconnect a little bit.

WH-1000XM4
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I not only purchase 1 but a total of 3 for me and my kids. This works great and noise canceling is so nice. Can’t hear what’s going on at all in the next room when you have them on. So be careful when your using this out in public

Essential for work from home
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's pretty easy to become distracted when you work from home and have others making noise around you. The XM4s were worth every penny solely for the excellent noise canceling. TV on in the other room? No worries. Someone's talking on the phone? No problem. They won't block every noise, but if your music is on, odds are that's all you'll hear. As for the sound quality, these will sound phenomenal to anyone who isn't an audiophile. No issues there. I haven't found much use for all the extra features the headphones have - why do I need Google Assistant if my phone is always with me anyway? The autodetection of movement/activty is also more of an annoyance, I've found it much better to use the physical button to switch ANC on or off. Perhaps it would be better if you were on the move often. All around, excellent headphones and worth the investment if you work from home.
