Nearly Perfect Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went back and forth between these and the XM5's and these are so much more comfortable. The only downside to these vs say the Bose QuietComfort headphones is that there isn't a dedicated button to enable bluetooth pairing. You have to turn them off and back on again to enter pairing mode, it's a very weird setup.

Posted .Hi redmondson8,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WH1000XM4. We're thrilled that you like the comfort of the headphones. Your feedback about the Bluetooth pairing function is greatly appreciated.
When you pair the headset with a device for the first time after you bought it or after you initialized the headset (the headset has no pairing information), the headset enters pairing mode automatically. When you pair a second or subsequent device (the headset has pairing information for other devices), press and hold the (power) button for about 7 seconds. Check that the indicator (blue) repeatedly flashes twice in a row. You will hear the voice guidance say, “Bluetooth pairing”. You may find this link helpful:

XM4
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these as a college student. The noise cancellation works really well so you can focus on your work, and the sound quality is also very nice. The headphones have an ambient mode so you can switch between noise cancellations and normal mode, it does this automatically or you can do it manually.

Good but there's better options
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones aren't cheap but they feel really good. The noise cancelling is great, the color is great but the flaw for me again is the cost. I would personally buy some beats or airpods over this but if you need some headphones that exclude airpods and beats, this is a solid option.

Excellent upgrade from XM3's.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Xm4's are an excellent upgrade from the XM3's. New motion detection sensor allows you to pick up music playback after you remove the headphones and put them on again. Noise cancellation is about 40% better, more isolated from environment. The only issues are that the bass is not as deep as the XM3's and the XM4 app is a little different then the XM3 app- the lack of sound position control and sorround (VPT) settings hinders the customization options.
