  • The new Sony WH 1000XM4 noise-cancelling headphones arrived and so I figured I'd take them through a full day and see how the battery on the WH1000XM4 headphones do plus test out the noise cancellation and talk about the other new features these have. Check it out.

    amazing review, i looked through many different reviews and videos as well as visiting physical retail stores to try out the noise cancelling but i was rather skeptical because i couldn't bring them out to the real world, i saw this video and after watching it i pulled the trigger to buy the XM4s and i have to say, i am not even BLOWN AWAY, it's something more epic than that, thanks for this video!

    This is the 1st video I've seen from you & I've got to say it was fantastic!
    Not only do you provide great info on the product, but your real life tests are simple and effective.
    You provided much more useful info on these headphones than others, who essentially provide details that can be retrieved off the packaging..
    On another topic, you have great camera work. Several of the clips you included were beautiful. The combination of appealing imagery and useful information kept my attention until the end.
    Great review & thanks.

    bought these a couple days ago and took'em out for a workday doing gig work and they are awesome. music sounds great and the noise canceling is great. had them playing music and content for 11 hours total(10 hours straight) and went home with around 40% battery left(noise canceling always on). doing the math that would probably net me another 9 hours of play time which is well short of what was advertised by more than enough for my own needs.

    Great review man. 1 feature upgrade i reckon you missed though, was the ability to link this up to your voice assistants (ie: alexa, google, siri). I use mine with alexa, and I can just ask them to play my music, or what the weather is like, or random history lessons. That feature is a big plus for me.

Mine don’t have the EQ adjustment that hers have and I love the bass that her’s puts out. The Bose are not the headphones you want if you enjoy bass. The ambient mode is nice too. My Bose don’t have that, just three levels of noise cancelation. When my Bose die I will pick up these Sony’s or whatever equivalent is around at that time.

    A bunch of questions comparing to the Bose 700. How is the passive noise reduction (no ANC, just the material of the cups and the seal)? Solely using the headphones for sweet golden silence, which is the quietest? The main things I'd want to silence are train/plane noise and voices. I have read that the Sony has a slight brown noise hiss while the Bose's have a black noise floor. I alsohear the Bose700 are more comfortable but are the Sony's real that inferior by comparison?

  • @carlitosway01

    Very good review.. I guess I have high expectations on such an expensive set of headphones. One suggestion for you is that for headphones reviews you can comment on sound quality. although it may be subjective you can provide an idea on what to expect when it comes to bass, mid, highs etc. I know many people look for this headphones for the ANC but I think many value sound quality as the most important feature.

I'm stuck between the ua project rock over ear training headphones and the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noice Cancelling Headphones. Which do you think would be better for working out, bike riding, everyday use? can you maybe do a video to compare them? also a big thing for me is sound (volume) are these loud headphones?
    Or can you recommend any good quality wireless noise-canceling over ear headphones that have great battery life and for what I've mentioned above.

  • @thomasforssell9225
    @thomasforssell9225 Před 3 lety +11

    I just upgraded from the XM3 and yes the new features are great. BUT I’m seriously considering returning them due to the bad phone call experience. In the XM3s, whenever I would accept a phone call the headphones would automatically let in ambient sound which was nice so you can hear your voice while talking. In the XM4s, however, the noice canceling makes it impossible to hear your own voice while talking so you have no idea how loud you’re actually talking, it’s like you’re deaf (at least how I would imagine it to be...) IF there is a way to change this please let me know, otherwise I’m definitely returning them :(

    Is it normal to be able to hear sounds from the TV while listening to music with these?

Never owned noise cancelling headphones before so don't know if it's normal but my cheap in ear phones totally block the TV out.

I'd love to know which (or other headphones/headsets) are best in a windy and a noisy environment. For example, walking by an air vent from a building or real wind (like Chicago), and the effect on a phone call when a bus or garbage truck drives by and I'm out for a walk.
