    Fits nicely with good noise canceling and sounds great. I prefer over M4 but you should try out both.

    Very similar to the previous model including functions and sound qualities. $280 will be a good price to get this item. For full price, it's not worth it. Get the XM3 instead for cheaper.

      Hi mich2k,

      We appreciate your feedback about the headphones. There have been some great upgrades to the WH1000XM4 from the WH1000XM3.

      The WH1000XM4 utilizes DSEE Extreme™️ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) which upscales compressed digital music files in real-time. Dynamically recognizing the instrumentation, musical genres, and individual elements of each song, such as vocals or interludes, it restores the high-range sound lost in compression for a richer, more complete listening experience.

      Also, the WH1000XM4 features smart listening technology to enhance your listening. With this, you can simply start speaking to automatically pause your music in Speak-to-Chat, or enjoy adaptive playback thanks to the proximity sensor and two acceleration sensors that detect whether your headphones are being worn or not.

      The WH1000XM4 also allows you to connect to 2 devices simultaneously.

      Finally, we also gently adjusted the design of the headphones. We added more cushioning to the headband and ear padding. We also changed the outside dimensions of the headphones slightly so they sit more comfortably over your head.

      Thanks for sharing your review and for choosing Sony.

    I’ve had the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th series. If you already have a preceding series, probably not worth the upgrade, but if you don’t, these headphones are great. The battery life seems better than advertised and their quick charging capability is more valuable that one might think.

    Awesome headphone! They were exactly what I needed and more. I was searching for some noise cancelling headphones to help block off noise while I studied. These did the job perfectly. They also project crisp sound for music. I love the feature in which it automatically pauses while speaking. I'm glad I can engage in a quick conversation and continue where I left off with my lectures of music.
