- A: AnswerA few differences. 1.) Speak to Chat feature. When you talk, the headphones will automatically pause the music, so you can chat without touching any controls. 2.) They have improved the noise cancelling especially at high frequencies like human voices, great for office. 3.) 5 Microphones for better call quality. 4.) Slightly larger and deeper ear pads. 5.) Multipoint connection support. Can now connect to 2 devices at same time 6.) Bluetooth 5.0 support.

- A: AnswerConsidering that the included charging cord is only 8 inches long, I suspect you cannot use them while listening to them. I went and got a longer cord and my suspicions were correct, they will not turn on when plugged into a charger. Ten minutes on a charger gives you five hours of listening time, so I don't think it is too much of an issue for most people.

Q: QuestionHow long will they ship it?Because i am very excited to have this headphones(10 answers)
A: AnswerOrdered mine on August 6, 2020. Was told they would ship about a week later (August 14). Then I get an alert from Best Buy saying that the shipping was delayed. It says that if they can't ship it by Friday August 21, then I will be refunded! Funny how on their website they are still trapping people into buying these with the promise they will ship in 2 business days only to have their order delayed. Bait and switch! I have now ordered a pair from Target and will take the ones from Best Buy back as soon as they arrive. Why advertise that they would get here so fast when all you're going to do is delay everyone's order? So DO NOT expect these to ship to you fast. Better to try your luck with another retailer like Target or Amazon. The ones I got from Target will be here by Friday (August 21).Answered by Gamer
Q: QuestionWill I be able to use these for PS4 gaming and be able to talk to people in a party chat(4 answers)
A: AnswerI tested this just now with my XM4. They do NOT work with the PS4 via bluetooth. You'll get an error message saying "Bluetooth audio devices are not supported on the PS4" You can use them wired when connected to your DualShock 4 controller using the speaker cable but the microphone will NOT work. Only game audio.Answered by Anonymous
- A: AnswerYeah, I am also having this issue. I am planning to exchange mine for another pair. I had the XM3s for 2 years and never had this issue (people report that this issue was also present with the XM3s), so I'm hoping it's bad luck with this pair.

- A: AnswerI had the same issue with QC35 (none Bluetooth). Never did with QC35 2’s. I will say this the leatherette of fue Sony’s doesn’t seem as high quality as the leatherette of fue Bose 700’s. It just feels more plastic Iike, and it attracts oils from the face quite easily. As for durability, it’s early to tell, but I’ve never heard about Sony’s fraying (not with the M3’s). Stands to reason this is the same for rue M4’s.

- A: AnswerNo, they are not sweat resistant. Sony does NOT cover damage caused by perspiration in their Limited Warranty. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4599/40e69626689f987e884c7569427d0ed8/45991062M.pdf (found under https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4#manuals) Under Sony's warranty it says: "This Limited Warranty does not cover products purchased from sources other than Sony or a Sony authorized dealer (including non-authorized online auctions), or issues due to:... (vii) contact with liquid, heat, humidity or perspiration, sand, smoke, or foreign materials" With that said, there are people that have no issues with sweat (even excessive sweat) while wearing them. So it's up to your discretion. But just be aware that Sony has covered their behinds if something goes wrong with your headphones since their exclusion of coverage is in writing. They won't replace it or service it for you for free.

Excellent headphones
If you aren’t planning on spending 500 dollars on a pair of Airpods max this is the best option available. Pros: -Easy controls in-app on Android or iPhone. -Wired option. (Aux) -All-day battery. -GREAT bass and mid-tones. -Solid build quality. -Comfortable during standard use. -Noise canceling is way better than any other headphones I’ve used (better than ANY airpods). Cons: -Treble is slightly lacking compared to bass (still sound amazing). -Touch controls are difficult and iffy. -A little chunky(if you like to lay down while using headphone they’re pretty uncomfortable). -Transparency mode SUCKS compared to airpods pros but on their own its fine enough not to bother me. I love using these headphones, the only reason I didn’t leave five stars was because of the transparency mode.

Exceptional Sound and Comfort: The Sony WH-1000XM
The Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones are nothing short of a game-changer in the world of audio. Having used them extensively over the past few months, I can confidently say they live up to—and even exceed—their reputation.

The build quality is top-notch, with plush ear cups and a comfortable headband that allow for extended listening sessions without discomfort. Whether you’re on a long flight or simply working from home, these headphones will keep you cozy. Sound Quality: When it comes to sound, the WH-1000XM4 excels. The audio performance is nothing short of spectacular, with deep, rich bass, clear mids, and crisp highs.

The WH-1000XM4 effectively blocks out ambient noise, allowing you to focus on your music, podcasts, or calls without distraction. The noise-cancelling can be customized to suit your environment, and there’s even a feature that lets in ambient sounds when needed, ensuring you stay aware of your surroundings when required. Battery Life: The battery life of these headphones is exceptional. With up to 30 hours of playback on a single charge, they easily outlast a full day of use. The quick charge feature is a lifesaver, giving you up to 5 hours of playback from just a 10-minute charge. Additional Features: The WH-1000XM4 is packed with features that enhance the overall experience. The touch controls are intuitive and responsive, making it easy to manage your music and calls. The voice assistant integration works seamlessly, allowing for hands-free operation. Plus, the Speak-to-Chat feature automatically pauses your music when you start speaking, then resumes playback once you’re done. Conclusion: In summary, the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones are a standout product that sets a new benchmark for high-end headphones. Their combination of superior sound quality, effective noise cancellation, and remarkable comfort make them a worthwhile investment for any audio enthusiast.

BEST HEADPHONES EVER
I LOVE THESE HEADPHONES. I’ve always been a person who loves music and wants to just relax and be in peace. These headphones are just that, the sound quality, features, noise cancellation and so much more. Another thing I love about these headphones is that it is very adjustable and comfortable on the ears, i’ve had many problems with other headphones that weren’t like that. Also I love how you can simply pause the music by putting your palm hand on the headset it’s so easy and very useful if someone needed my attention. Lastly, the battery life is amazing, I listen to music 24/7 and needed headphones that lasted all day and these are it! But overall you should buy these, DON’T OVERTHINK IT !!!
