  • Lively, balanced and detailed sound,Insane noise-cancelling,A full suite of cutting-edge extra features,
  • Can get trebly under the wrong circumstances, No aptX or aptX HD support - seriously Sony
  • Sony WH-1000XM4 are the best noise cancelling headphones you can buy. By keeping the sound as good as it always was to satisfy music lovers and adding some extra features tech heads wanted, Sony manages to keep its nose just in front of Bose, Bowers & Wil...

  • If you can afford it—yes, absolutelyEven though we've only got a day with these headphones, this is a very easy answer. The biggest barrier for entry here is simply the price. Especially with the previous model, the WH-1000XM3, available for around $100 l...

  • As I use the Sony WH-1000XM4 more and more, they begin to grow on me even more than the WH-1000XM3. The sound, so far, is excellent: more refined, clearer and removes quite a bit of noise from tracks. The fit has been excellent, with comfort levels high a...

  • Even more comfortable,Improved noise cancellation algorithms,Superb music playback for high-res and compressed tracks
  • Maybe not enough of a generation leap to upgrade to
  • Naturally, two days of play is not really enough to come up with a definitive opinion, but already the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are impressing.The sound quality is excellent - as we'd expect from the lineage - and they sport the brand's trademark comfor...
