Industry-leading Digital Noise Cancellation
Hear every word, note, and tune with incredible clarity, no matter your environment. These headphones feature additional microphones that assist in isolating sound while talking on the phone, resulting in improved phone call quality and the reduction of even more high and mid frequency sounds.
Engineering better noise cancellation
Dual Noise Sensor technology, featuring two microphones on each earcup, captures ambient noise and passes the data to the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1. Using a new algorithm, the HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 then applies noise cancelling processing in real time to a range of environments.
The headphones are amazing. Setup was quick and simple. AMT did a great job and provided super speedy delivery and an original product that was fully sealed and brand new.
This is definitely a good upgrade from MDR-1000X to the mark 4. Pretty balanced lows, and highs. It attempts to upscale the audios to HiFi and does a good job at it. The Sony Headphone app is required to fine-tune the headphones according to your liking. The noise-canceling is best in class. You can adjust the noise-canceling pressure from the app if the defaults are not your thing
One more good thing about these is the ability to connect to 2 devices simultaneously. The experience is pretty seamless, but only one device can play at a time. If you're connected to a laptop and a phone and listening to audio from the laptop and the phone rings, you'll have to stop the audio from the laptop, and then only you can answer the call.
The call quality is good too. Never heard anyone on the other end complain about the voice quality.
Battery life is awesome. I usually use them for 4 hrs per day and I managed to drain them out only once. The USB Type-C interface is good to have so now I have to carry only one cable. The headphones are lightweight and you can wear them for hours.
Wh 1000xm4 i am writing this review after almost 2 weeks of use
Sound quality: 10/10 if u want to listen to its maximum potential u have to use LDAC (for android users sorry apple users u are stuck with AAC) which is a sony propriety Bluetooth code n available on almost all latest android phones n has the capacity to stream your audio in CD-quality
u can always tweak the signature sound from the EQ settings in sony app n you must give this a try to see what suits ur personal taste
Pro tip: You ain't gonna like any buds or other headphones after listening to this one
ANC: works like a charm i often use it even without music to concentrate on my on going task n it simple almost eliminates all surrounding noise of fan road traffic (since my room window open towards road) n believe me it gets better after a few minutes of use as some continuous noises u might still hear after ANC they will be gone in a minute
Speak to chat another feature xm4 have is a pretty handy feature a lot of users gonna love it n u can always turn it off if its not according to your taste
COMFORT: i have worn them for 3-4 continuous hours with ANC it no pressure or ear ache (but yeah your ear might get a bit warm iside the ear cup since its a close back style headphones) I rate them 9.5/10 in comfort
Precaution: they are not for exercise of gym so don't buy them to use in sweaty conditions you will be disappointed
Verdict: Buy them if you have the budget if don't save some money n buy them because they are worth every single penny of the price n i have searched a lot allmytech.pk is the best site in Pakistan if u want to purchase these
The best just got even better! (With a few minor issues)
This new version is definitely improved over the previous version, the noise canceling (so far, it’s only been less than an hour of use yet) is amazing, I can’t here much of anything with them on. Sound quality is amazing as well, wider soundstage than the XM3’s and the sound is buttery smooth. At first listen the volume seems a little bit lower at the maximum but with the super noise canceling you don’t need it to be louder. Also this is with the default settings as I have not tried using the equalizer as of yet. Super comfortable and they do seem as if the build is sturdier as well. The speak-to-chat feature is nice but I probably won’t use it much as when I had it on it was pausing at every sound I made (I did set it to high sensitivity which you can change in the app). The headphones came fully charged and updated the software pretty quickly and they were good to go. The best noise canceling headphones just got even better! Highly recommended!Update: 8/31/20 three main issues so far, the battery life seems worse when using the feature to connect to two devices simultaneously and the headphones only connect fully about 50% of the time and I have to go to Bluetooth settings to get them to connect. Also, wear sensor doesn’t always work and when putting paused headphones around my neck it often starts playing again. One more thing: the padding on the ear cups is slimmer and more plush so I feel the actual cups against the side of my face making them slightly less comfortable but not so much that it’s a deal breaker. I do like that you can put two fingers to the touch pad and hold to toggle the speak-to-chat feature on and off which is handier than going into the app to turn it off/on. Also I like that there is a power button in the app to quickly turn off the headphones and that they will auto shut off when taken off after a certain amount of time (although I have no idea how long that is as there is no way to change it in the app).
What I like about these headphones are the build quality in my opinion.Pros- the sound and bass quality are crystal clear-it’s very comfortable on my head (light)-the app allows me to controls the headphone settings like turning into a low res song into a high quality song with better bass.-connecting two Bluetooth devices is very useful I never had any problems with mines-music pause when I take off my headphones like the information from the box.-the music lower down while speak mode is on-headphones can update system firmware in the app-the noise canceling is pretty good because it mutes every loud sound I hear around my background.Cons-Sometimes tv noise mute my headphones but I can turn it off in settings.The people in the review are right! It is worth the money getting these headphones because i love it anyway! No problems at all.This is my first expensive Sony Headphones and I definitely think it’s worth the cost for new users.
