No improved Sound qualty
ANC is barely improved with a similar design
MultiPoint can’t use LDAC, So you are stuck with AAC or SBC if you wish to use this feature and no APTX or APTX HD,
Was a decent upgrade from my XM2’s but if you dont wish to use speak to talk or any of the new features then save your Money and get yourself a pair of XM3’s for over £100 Less

I was really looking forward to these but the multi device connectivity was a joke. It took over a minute plus to switch between devices (iPhone & iPad) as there’s a huge lag in the audio switchover so impossible to take a call if you’re connected to another device. The noise cancellation seemed poor compared to the XM3’s.

Having owned the XM3 I was very disappointed with this new version. The noise cancelling appears identical, and the sound signature indiscernible from the previous model. If anything, the XM3 sound is of higher quality with slightly more base on the default equalizer settings, which I prefer.
This headphone is bigger compared to the previous model, and for me they felt loose with the top of my ear hitting the top of the earcups. This was very uncomfortable. The XM3 don’t have the same issue.
There are a number of new features, however I question how much value they really add. For instance, the talk to pause feature is no where near as good as the advert suggests. It pauses after a few seconds delay and not instantly. It’s far easier just to pause the headphones or take them off altogether. The multi-device connectivity has issues, given switching from one device to another is not instant.
Ultimately, this is absolutely not worth the price difference compared to the XM3. The XM3 works…

I’ve had a Bose QC35 for over 4 years now, and the new Sony WH-1000MX4s are just about as perfect as can be. Mind you, I was an extremely devoted Bose fan, but seeing how they’ve been staying complacent, the competition has finally caught up and exceeded Bose in many aspects.
The Sony trumps the Bose QC35 easily in terms of sound quality: the bass is more defined, more dynamic, and sub-bass levels are much higher quality than my Bose QC35s. The treble sounds much more natural and airy, whereas the Bose QC35s sound very synthetic in this regard – this is coming from a guy who’s had the QC35 for 4+years and listened to hundreds if not thousands of hours of music on the QC35s.
If I had to rate the sound quality:
Bose QC35 (6.5/10)
Sony WH-1000XM4 (9/10)
You will not be disappointed by the sound of the Sonys, this I can guarantee.
In terms of noise cancelling, the Sony’s NC is probably even better than the Bose. It feels natural and not “aggressive” like the Bose’s noise cancelling, and mid…

I currently own a pair of cracked XM1’s held together by tape so have been eagerly awaiting the XM4’s given I do a lot of web conferencing, and the mic on the XM3’s wasn’t going to cut it.
On the plus side, the noise-cancellation is good, as you’d expect. They’re also comfortable to wear and the sound quality when listening to music is great, but that mic! Despite all the hype and promise, I tested the mic on Skype, Zoom and Hangouts, and the performance was poor across the board. Really disappointing and a deal-breaker for me so they’ve been returned.
So now it’s back to taping up my XM1’s to make them last a bit longer until Bose hopefully gets their act together and deliver a reliable solution.
It was also sneaky and somewhat misleading imo to combine the much-loved XM3 listing with the XM4’s soon after launch and combine the ratings. Buyer beware!
