Sound
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just purchased these headphones. They sound good so far. But you are right in relation to the touch control. I'm not getting the pause when I double tap, that I do when I use my Bose in NC700s. However the volume up and the forward and reverse or should I say forward track and previous track. Does seem to work.

Posted .Hi JhonD,
Thank you for the purchase! We're glad to hear you like the sound quality of the Sony headphones. We do apologize for the inconvenience. The sensor of the touch sensor control panel is built into the flat surface of the right unit. Operate within the range of the sensor. When you swipe your finger forward/backward or up/down on the touch sensor control panel, the touch sensor control panel may not work correctly depending on the angle at which the headset is worn or the direction your head is facing. Also, the headset will not operate correctly when you operate the headset with your fingernail or a gloved hand. Remove your glove, and operate the headset with the ball of your finger.
The WH-1000XM4 is a new design, with intelligent and intuitive Ambient Sound Control features that include improvements to Multipoint connection and our industry-leading Noise Cancelation, exceptional sound quality, and Smart Listening that adjusts to your behavior and location. Thank you for choosing Sony!

The Review
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Sony XB900. I heard great things about the XM series and decided to give them a try. To be honest, I'm not sure what the big deal is about them. Yes, sound is clearer and Noise Cancelling is better than the XB900. If you compare the Noise Cancelling to the Airpod Pros, they aren't near as good as Airpods Pros. The bass is there, but not as full or deep as it was on the XB900. In conclusion, if you'd like headphones with clear sound and above average bass, you can't go wrong with these. But if you are hoping they have a deep bass punch, I recommend looking somewhere else. Personally, I will be going back to the XB900.

Fantastic!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect version for the wh1000x series so far. Multiple devices connection and no latency. The improved noise cancellation is a little bit more effective on higher frequency. I really love the memory foam and the right pressure of the head band. Too high, uncomfortable; too low, ineffective noise cancellation. Something I need to say: it does get hot and uncomfortable after 1 hour, but this is the satisfaction you have to take for good seal and noise cancellation. Recommend this to people who haven’t bought 1000xm3.

Marvelous/Enamored by these
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are on the fence about these get off it and get in the grass. These are terrific headphones, your music is meant for these type of headphones. I went through all the ear buds from Sony new ones(which are good but they hurt with the ear tips given) & Bose earbuds(which are the best on the market) these headphones are an instant grab & you wont regret these. Only thing that can possibly take away from these are the material is plastic but feel like air on your head.

Sony Xm4 noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are good headphones, music quality is good and the ability to pair to 2 devices and seamlessly switch between them. The noise canceling is the best from my experience. You can still hear things around you unless you have music playing, which for studying in a cafe isn't great if you dont like to study with music.

Even better than the mighty Bose 700
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Bose 700 headphones were having connectivity issues so I replaced them with the Sony WH-1000XM4. In my opinion, the Sony's are just as comfortable, seem to have better sound quality (especially with bass response), and slightly better noise cancellation...though I haven't tried out the various adaptive modes. Most importantly, they maintain a stable bluetooth connection to my devices.
