Create your very own one-man party. These Sony headphones have a QN1 Processor which is in charge of cancelling noise around you, so you can get lost in the sound of your music. Thanks to 40 mm drivers and support for High-Resolution Audio Wireless everything will sound its best – with rumbly lows, clear vocals, and bright highs. Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts the sound profile to your environment, so you’ll always get the most out of your music. Speak-to-Chat will pause your music when you start having a conversation and resume playing once you’re done. It felt as though Britney Spears was in the room with me as she worked through the provocative “Toxic”, while the intro to “Sexual Healing” had me looking over my shoulder as Marvin Gaye’s whispers for me to “get up, get up, get up, get up” and “wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up” darted between my left and right ears. *NSYNC’s “It’s Gonna Be Me” was less impactful, however, and my listening experience wasn’t all that different from when I listened to the regular version. I am not an audiophile, but I do enjoy listening to music on Spotify for long periods of time and streaming movies for their full duration. I can safety say that I am happy with the audio quality, and the ability to keep the headphones on for a long period of time without having too much discomfort. The Sony WH-1000XM3 were best-in-class when it came to noise cancellation but this model is even better at regulating the amount of external noise that makes it through to your ears. With noise cancelling in full effect, the WH-1000XM4 let you slip away into your own audio world, free of all-but the loudest and highest-pitched annoyances. This headset has been well thought out for wireless use. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 technology, it offers the best current compatibility with AAC, LDAC and even HD aptX support, which keeps quality loss to a minimum. Easy to pair, the headset also features NFC to speed up the detection of devices to be connected through the fast pair feature. The headphones are outfitted with a multitude of Bluetooth profiles such as HSP for profiling personal settings, AVRCP for controlling the audio side of videos and A2DP for setting the headphones' audio distribution. Long Battery LIfeTouch controls make a return from the last generation and remain a shining example of how to implement them successfully. Doubling tapping the outer surface of the right earcup plays or pauses your audio while holding your finger to the touch sensor for two seconds engages your voice assistant of choice. Google Assistant, Alexa and Siri are all supported. I am not an audiophile, but I do enjoy listening to music on Spotify for long periods of time and streaming movies for their full duration.

Read more 4 stars for the product simply because the microphone, which I use often, was not as great as I had hoped; nonetheless they provide a beautiful listening experience. The Sony WH-1000XM4 build upon the impressive functionality of the WH-1000XM3 by adding a number of new features, all of which successfully enhance the user experience.

Sony’s HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 isn’t just good at drowning out the outside world though; it’s also extremely smart. When you first put the WH-1000XM4 on, you’ll need to optimise the noise-cancelling via the Sony Headphones app. The headphones detect the shape and size of your head, your hairstyle, whether you wear glasses and the surrounding air pressure to calibrate a noise-cancelling profile tailored to you. A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile), HSP (Headset Profile), HFP (Hands Free Profile) These headphones replaced Beats studio 3 over the ear noise cancelling. The sound quality is superior to the Beats, the fit and weight are similarly good. The Sony XM4 head phones have a considerable number of options including an IOS/Andriod optimization app. I am using a apple iphone X with the most current IOS. The battery life is considerable at greater than 20 hours which compares to the 8 hours of my prior beats. The sound cancellation is far superior to the prior Beats, however, the software is always adapting to the surrounding location, movement and ambient sounds causing fluctuations in the external noise suppression causing an external noise source to randomly increase and decline in volume. This issue is primarily an issue with significant and changing external noise sourc es, so not typically an issue. The touch sensitive controls on the side of the head phones works most of the time, however, I often have issues connecting to an incoming call as it will not transfer to the head phones or respond to the double tap on the touch panel. I have a Samsung smart TV with blue tooth audio connectivity and the audio will break up with the XM4 head phones at a distance of <10 ft, I have to disconnect and reconnect a couple of times to correct the problem. The head phones have over the air software updates so I'm hopeful some of the annoying issues are resolved with future updates. I don't recommend turning on the Notification and Voice Guide nor to activate the two device linking within the app. I found that when the head phones are permitted to connect to more than one device, they will automatically and when linked to two devices the head set can not be used for phone calls. Also the Speak to Chat is useless as it will shut the music off if you sing or speak while playing audio and responds to spurious external noises.
