  • The Sony WH-1000XM4 felt like the near-perfect headphone pair I got a chance to use. With good looks, good audio output, ANC, and a couple of noteworthy smart features, I liked the musical journey I embarked on with the headphones. However, there are issu...

  • Great Noise Cancellation, Awesome Sound Quality, Comfortable, Ample Features, Great Gesture Controls, Wear Detection, Improved Voice Quality, Impressive Battery life
  • Not water resistant, No Apt X Support, Speak to Chat needs improvement, 360 Audio is Gimmicky
  • There aren't many caveats with the Sony WH-1000XM4 and if you're in the market of purchasing new ANC headphones, you cannot go wrong with this one. No Bluetooth headphone can even match its performance at the moment whether you consider sound quality, fea...

  • Abstract:  There was a time when we wondered what Sony was doing in the noise cancelling segment where there was a clear overlord. A few years down the line, the upstart has almost kicked out the incumbents and is making a cushy throne for itself. Sonys confidence...

  • Best-in-class ANC performance, Dynamic, detailed sound, Multipoint connection support, Convenient Quick Attention and Wearing Detection features, Good battery life
  • Headband padding is slightly inadequate, Controls are a bit of a hit or miss, No IP rating
