I hope Sony's future iteration provides a better microphone, or allows for an optional external microphone similar to those used on gaming headsets. Read Less 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.

I am facing these issues despite having the latest firmware. Best noise cancellation headphones you can buy . I hope Sony's future iteration provides a better microphone, or allows for an optional external microphone similar to those used on gaming headsets. Read full review The Sony WH-1000XM4 is a circumaural headset that provides a comfortable fit. It covers the entire ear for total immersion. The closed design of the headphones boosts sound quality. The headphones also feature active noise cancellation, which limits or even fully suppresses disturbing ambient sounds, such as a plane engine. Audio processing has been updated from the previous model, the Sony WH-1000XM3, resulting in improved audio quality. This new model also features the DSEE audio system (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) for high-definition sound. Thanks to 40 mm drivers, the headphones deliver powerful, distortion-free music, even at high volumes. With or Without Cable

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 ... Read more 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 sources, 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. Read Less Also, the headphone ear pads are so so so soft. Which is great when using them, but makes me anxious when handling them or putting them down anywhere, especially with three kids and a cat on the prowl all the time. Furthermore, the biggest issue with earlier models is the fragility of the headband and especially the weakest link where the headphones connect to the headband, and rotate. Mine broke on my older set, and the cost of repair was really too high. So, that put me off from getting another pair for a few years. Until now. I wasn't aware of the issue before it happened, but I am now. So, with due attention, it shouldn't happen again... Hopefully...!!! At present, it’s only available through 360 by Deezer, nugs.net and TIDAL and I tested it using the latter’s 360 Reality Audio playlist. Individual aspects of songs sound like they’re coming from different positions around your head but the technology works far better on certain songs than others. I bought these to replace and upgrade my old Sony Hear.on headphones and I was pleased to find that the range was much longer. Additionally, the case for these headphones has a better, more portable design. On a full charge with noise cancelling on, the headphones offer 8 hours, with the charging case providing a further 16 hours. With noise cancelling off, it’s even longer – 12 hours of power on a full charge, with a further 3x charges from the charging case, for up to 36 hours of play time.

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.the adaptive sound cancelling took a little time to get used to, but once you realize that it lets you hear more when you are on the move to avoid traffic, be more aware of your surroundings it makes sense. you can turn it off in the app if its bothersome. 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 dual Bluetooth functionality is buggy and does not work well. I had bought this headphones mostly for dual Bluetooth functionality , so that I can keep it connected to computer and my phone. It switches the input automatically according to the sound output of the device. There is no proper control to switch it based on your need. Sometimes in middle of a call on phone, it switches to computer , even if you are not playing anything on computer. It is very frustrating. are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Some of my favorite features include pairing 2 bluetooth devices at once, the programmable button and touch gestures, and the ability to listen to ambient noise by placing my palm onto the right hand side of the headphones.

The noise cancellation is par excellence. And, compared to the remote hand gesture controls on the first model, the XM4 is so simple and easy to use. I do have one issue, I enjoy singing with the music, so can't really put the chat controls on. Refurbished Truly wireless headphones with digital noise cancelling, smart listening technology, clear call quality, Bluetooth® connectivity, ergonomic fit, water resistance, and all-day power.Touch 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. Overall these headphones produce good quality audio on android and pc but I wouldn't get them if I want to use them with apple products at least in this price range. I have used them on my PC, mac, android, and iphone. They sound best on the android especially combined with their app. At this price range I would get air pods pro if I have apple products.
