WH-1000XM4

My work involves a lot of video editing this helps me a lot for long wear and doesn't seem to hurt my ear, very comfortable! This could depend on individual depending on their headshape and ear. Sound quality is really good, the bass isn't one of those that could make you go wooooah! but its there, its good. The high frequency, the mids are all well balanced. The ANC (audio noise cancellation) is brilliant! Sometimes I love to sit in coffee shop and work and this seem to serve the purpose really well. The other features like ambient sound is good for speaking, but this feature isn't something to be awed about. It is there but I wouldn't use it much. The auto feature is a bit of gimmick especially if you're in a crowded place the headphone seem to think of it as you are speaking and tends to enable it. The microphone is really good and ideal for calls but only when the surrounding isn't too loud, the way it tries to cancel out the environment makes our voice muffled. The battery life of 30 hours playback and 38 hours (with ANC off) is a bargain! Overall definitely a recommendation! It has been almost a month, lets see how it goes and will update if anything on the long run!

This limited edition color, extremely super

Bought this Jan 2021 and I have been using it for a year now, thought I should leave a proper review. I had somewhat unreasonable expectations on noise cancellation (even though I did tons of research on what frequencies they tend to muffle out). Truth is even the best Noise cancelling headphones (this one or Bose Quiet Comforts) will be excellent in completely tuning out constant, low frequency hums (think of airplane or car engine sounds). It will tone down human voices but will not completely eliminate them. Now I was initially quite a bit disappointed by this fact but as it turned out, this was a solid purchase for me regardless. One of the biggest perks of noise cancellation is that with the surrounding sounds lower, you can listen to music/anything at a lower volume - over the long term this will reduce hearing loss and keep ears sensitive. The sound quality is brilliant, the bass just pops out and you can play with the settings in the headphones complementary app to alter to your taste. After using these headphones for a while, I tried on my sister's JBL headphones and the difference was real. It covers the ears fully - I found it a bit 'heavy' on the ears first but its something you get used to. Even though noise cancellation alone doesn't tune out human voices, there are ways to still do so that yield better results with WHM4 (or any higher end noise cancelling headphones) compared to other regular headphones E.g. I turn on Noise cancellation THEN play some cafe sounds or rain noise or white noise and sometimes layer that with some Spotify music. I am then oblivious to all the loud arguments in the living room unless I take my headphones off. Didn't even hear my annoying neighbor ringing the doorbell. The charge lasts quite long, with moderate-intensive use you might have to charge say every alternate day. Bonus tip that I didn't figure out early on: Noise cancellation works even if you use wired mode without Bluetooth. If you are working at a wifi congested place, might work better signal strength wise.

Before I got the xm4 I have tried the soundcore q30 and the new offering from sennheiser that is accentum plus. Both were decent headphones but uncomfortable to wear for my head . Also out of the box sound was also not great on the aforementioned headphones. So I had to return them both and I was in a dilemma between the Momentum 4 and sony Xm5. But again both these headphones had so much of issues reported against them on reddit which was not the case of xm4. So I went ahead and bought the xm4 which by the way was released in 2020 and still beats even the xm5 when you take into consideration the best all rounder headphones. Sound is great out of the box, but i listen to this with the wavelet app as I don't need that much base and the app gives more to the sound stage as well. And the built quality is simply great For comfort I would give it a 10 / 10 . Definitely a great buy in 2025 or for many years ahead too ..just grab this guys

Pros: Anc is incredible, slightly better than the already very good Bose QCs. The app isn't super modern but works well (Android). Nfc and google fast pair are nice bonuses and the touchpad works well enough in my opinion. LDAC is a nice bonus but you have to disable multipoint to use it. Cons: Avoid these if you prefer a neutral/flat sound profile. These have more bass than I like and it ends up making music sound somewhat muddy. While they still sound good, I would definitely recommend Bose QCs instead if this is important to you. It seems like reducing the "clear bass" feature in the app will help with this, a value between -6 and -3 makes them sound better. Also I wish you didn't have to collapse the headband to fit them in the case

The Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are nothing short of amazing. The noise-cancelling technology is unparalleled, allowing for an immersive audio experience whether you're working, traveling, or relaxing. Bluetooth connectivity is seamless, and the battery life is impressive, easily lasting a full day on a single charge. The over-ear design provides ultimate comfort, even during prolonged use. The touch controls and customizable settings via the companion app add to the overall user experience. A premium product that's worth every penny. Highly recommend!

I have been using the black colored 1000m4 headphones for over a year and decided to change to the AirPods max due to raving reviews on YouTube. I liked the sound and noise cancellation but had to sell them after a few weeks as they were too impracticable (dumb case, slippage and discomfort due to wrong headphone weight distribution , moisture retention in the ear chamber and non folding size ) and the max felt like a first generation product. I switched back to the Sonys but this time got the silent white color, so far I love these as they have the same great sound, build quality and a proper case. However the major reason for my switch back to them was the comfort and weight which is much more evenly distributed and are comparatively lighter to the max. These headphones have top tier noise canceling and the white color really makes them stand out even with the generic deisgn.

Use them about 3 days. This is my first headphones with noise cancelling. I guess my ears still don't understand what's going on when I activate noice cancelling mode, hope this some little discomfort will be disappeared after some time. Sound quality is good enough - before it I've been using Sennheiser HD 350BT - ther is no such a huge difference in sound quality as I excpected, but the bass and electronical sound is much better in Sony. The detector in the left earcup that stop music/video when you take off the headphones should be must have in all headphones. Defenately recommend the product. Delivery was super fast. Thank you!

جيدة واصلية وصلت متبرشمة صوت نقى
