Best noise cancelling out there
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones from top to bottom. Amazing noise cancelling capabilities, which are what I care about most. Sound quality is above average and they're comfortable enough to wear almost all day. I have a small creak in my right ear cup which is a little annoying but otherwise, these things are perfect.

Better made than Soundcore
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super comfortable and amazing sound quality. I used to have a pair of soundcore headphones that I used before these, but I needed a new pair since one of the headphones snapped off at work. These feel like they’re made a lot better, so even though they are expensive, they’re made nicely. I recommend them for sure!

Truly amazing sound & active noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously purchased the wh-1000xm3's in July because I needed a pair of excellent sounding ANC headphones. I knew the xm4's would come out eventually but I needed something then. Shortly after I purchased the xm3's the announcement of the xm4's happened & I received them in time to return the xm3's but not without comparing them. Like most reviews state, the look & style is nearly identical between both. The ear cups are a little bit bigger on the xm4's. Even though the xm4's don't have as many Bluetooth codecs as the xm3's they still sound amazing & I am very picky about sound quality. I could not notice any differences between the two models playing the same music in the same environment. The xm3's may have slightly better soundstage separation but it is a very small difference. The ANC is a little better in the xm4's & they also have multipoint Bluetooth. That means I can have them connected to my computer & phone without having to manually connect it to one source at a time. That is a really nice convenience & it works flawlessly for me. The xm3's are great headphones but the xm4's just take it farther & are more user friendly. I whole heartedly recommend these headphones if you want amazing sound with class leading ANC. You will not be disappointed!

Excellent, deep base; great noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing headphones, super deep base, excellent noise cancellation. Really happy with this purchase and I find them to be better than more expensive BOSE options. Easy to pair with my iPhone and MacBook Pro. My only suggestion would be to use slightly nicer material to make it look and feels a bit more premium.

Expensive but good headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony WH-1000XM4 is good wireless noise cancelling headphone. I have not used other high end headphones and hence cannot compare. Usage: Primarily for conference calls using computer audio Pros: Battery life Sound quality Pair 2 devices simultaneously Cons: After 6 months of usage, hear some hiss occasionally. Read that this is due to the moisture build up. Need to disconnect and reconnect the bluetooth and run the "Test connection" wizard to verify for webex calls to get the audio going.
