thank you
You low key killed that intro.
High key
BOOM BOOM CHIAK BOOM BOOM CHIAK BOOM BOOM CHIAK
I agree 🙌🏻
1.) Ear cups a bigger near the top
2.) Proximity sensor
3.) Better anc adjustment
4.) BT multipoint
5.) Wider headband
Was waiting for you guys to cover this model.. loved the detailed review 👍
By far the most profesional Review of these headphones that I've seen. Besides you don't complain about the name and pronounce it perfectly multiple times. That gave me confidence about all that you say. Thanks.
I was really nervous about spending so much money on headphones, but I use headphones basically all day every day for music and gaming so I think these headphones are worth the investment considering how much use they will get, this review really helped me make that decision so thank you!
Hey, how are they for music and gaming? I'm thinking of asking my dad these for my b-day!
@@boinbo8090 music, perfect. Gaming, they are good if you want to focus and block out all distracting noises, however I use them with a aux when gaming because latency can be an issue wirelessly.
@@Nathlaaar Alright thanks man!
Facts bro I was nervous as well
I've been using these headphones for about a week now. Fantastic product. Here's a tip for the double tap to pause function, if you use just one finger instead of two, it actually works great. I just tried it with two fingers like you did in this video and it didn't pause the video for me. So yeah, make sure you operate the touch sensitive cup with only one finger and it's a non-issue.
Bro I bought it yesterday, but the sound is leaking, everybody surrounding me can hear what I’m playing. Is there any solution for that?
@@aquamarinestone5279 Perhaps you got a faulty pair? I don't have this problem at all. The isolation is top notch.
@@benigntumor3366 may be, I will try to return it.
@@aquamarinestone5279 update?
hi, how much human / talking noise does it cut out if any? i know its more about low frequenceies but just wondered if it cuts out any at all? im mainly wanting it for flights which is a bit of everything! thanks in advance!
I bought mine about a year ago and love them, especially when the neighbors are noisy, there's nearby construction, the dishwasher's running, or a loud storm is shaking the windows. Well worth the money.
This has been the best purchase I've made in 2021. Living at home during WFH and the inability to go out as much has made even home noise too loud sometimes. When I have these on, it's just quiet and peace and since it's lightweight and bluetooth, I can connect this to every computer and console I have. There are days where I just have these on the whole day just connecting to and from devices as I go along. Best part is that I can easily pair them to my phone with a tap on the NFC chip, super easy.
Same!
The quality of this video is amazing
Thank you a lot for helping me with my decision 🙌🏾
Best intro ever.
Haha thanks 🙌
Hell yeah.
No it wasn't
Just got them, really happy with my purchase. The sound is fantastic
@@rahilaslambasha they're not small so I wouldnt recommand doing it. Also, I would scared to break them lol
This was an amazing video! Every comparison I wanted is here! Thank you so much
Hi Sound Guys, may I know which frequency target do u guys use in your reviews? It'll be great if you guys are willing to share :) thank you so much
Thanks, man! I really like the video and how u explained the features. It's good to know that Xm4 can last for years. ☺ Haha
Great video! I'd love to see a review of the Aiwa ARC-1s ANC headphones :)
So would you go the Sony XM4 or Shure Aonic 50, would the difference in noise cancelling even be noticeable when your on a plane?
Can you please tell me what is the difference between silver and black colour in terms of material in sony M4 headphone? I heard that black is matte black while silver is plastic. Can you confirm whether it's true or not? Thank you in advance
Is it considered "multi point" if only one device is connect via bluetooth at a time? (TV or phone) I'm just wondering because of the drop in audio quality
do you have that weird pressure feeling when using the noise canceling as some other headphones have? Or don't you notice any difference in feeling when you enable the noise canceling? Also, does the sound quality change / decrease when using noise-canceling?
I feel a bit but if you play any audio it goes away
I do. I just bought them from Amazon, but I find this pressure not comfortable. And considering that they costed 200€, I will probably move to Bose.
Great video!
Hope you're doing well.
Hoping to see new reviews by you guys.
is it possible to get replacements for the ear cups ?
“Take off your damn headphones”!!!
Thank you for the review.
Awesome video. Great review. Thanks for both the effort.
Upgrading from my M2s 😍
I currently have the Sony XB 900Ns right now, but I've been thinking about upgrading to the XM4s.
Just picked these up for 298 on Amazon. Pretty pumped to get these since I work next to a performance shop and have a train nearby.
@Cesar Benitez It was part of amazon prime day sale. Also got $25 gift card with it. They work great!
its 270now
Which do you guys recommend, Jlab Jbuds Air or Edifier TWS1? I will be doing some exercise in them but not much
Go with whatever suits you better.
Hi I've watched a lot of your headphone reviews, I've noticed you never talk about, headphone noise leakage. I bought my headphones after a long research of things I need from a headphone and Sony xm4 won. But I found the noise leakage is terrible, to a point my partner is annoyed when I have them on in bed. Recently I went on a trip to Mexico, and to my dismay, the passenger next to me, asked if I could turn my headphones down, I was so surprised by how much it disturbed them, as my phone was at half volume. Have you noticed this with the Sony's??And what from your experience are the best non-noise leakage headphones.
Thank you
Literally I just won this headphones, omggggg I'm so happy
Tell us your secret
Da fuck, how!!
N ice
Can you turn off the speak detection feature? Because it would be a huge deal breaker, if I would not be able to sing/rap some words, while listening to music..
Amazing introduction and awesome video. Subbed
4:21 Thank you for some common sense.
Just ordered ones today 🤗
How good they are with MS Teams?
These are $299 on Amazon right now. If you're Prime members, you also get an extra $25 gift card. That's $75 off total.
I bought me a new one and I have a question?
Does it kill all sounds when noise cancelling is on? Without music or anything coming from the phone
It cancels sounds even without music on. With it on, it gets hard to hear things even people talking at least from what I've seen. I get spooked sometimes when someone approaches me and I didn't realize they were talking to me.
Hi I bought Purley for xbox and movies and would use wired most the time unless bought blutooth adapter thing for TV. I bought for the noise cancelling as crazy noise 247.
How do I max the noise cancelling then still used wired. I download Sony app to use but if I'm using wired how will I get the max level of noise cancelling. Please help cheers
Wow is this New Wireless Headphone has Same Extra Bass Power just like XB900N or Just Balance Sound without Extra Bass?? I Have One of this XB900N Series 😍😍😍
Hey man, I am in apple ecosystem but don’t want to spend money on expensive airpods. What is the best earphone that you can recommend to me which has multi device connectivity, great sound and good ANC?
Sony xm4 vs Shure Aonic 50 ? Which one to go for ??
The quality of the video (not to mention, the actual content of it) is top notch. Great review. Very good job!
So true, if u have a conversation with s.o, just take off ur damn headphones 😅
Could you recommend me some bright headphones? If it's possible on ear headphones or iems
Should I upgrade from my xm2
Traded in beats for these! Well worth it!
Most B+ rated headphones are better than beats.
@@Daswassuphomie true
Love that intro
I found that using one finger rather than two worked better to use the touch controls. Only used two to turn on and off speak to chat.
I just bought some IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS NOISE CANCELLING EXPIERIENCE
@William Shakespeare they are really awesome I can’t hear shit
LIT intro 🔥
Great review!!
I’m having hard decision which one you recommend fro me Sony WH-1000XM4 or Bose Bose 794297-0100 or other headphones Pls help out bro
I always come back to these headphones, I love trying different cans to see if there's any difference, but time after time I prefer the sound of Sony
> Voice call quality is not the best we've tested
Well which ones are better? Or where do I find them?
I hear reviewers often say "For this price there are many alternatives"
Well what are they?
Thanks for considering giving us more specific info.
I want to go wireless for my WFH set up, would this perform as good as the ASUS Noise Cancelling Plug In? trying to look to a headphone that filters ALL background noise - dogs, kids, passing vehicles, etc. HELP!
I had to adjust settings in developer mode on my Android smartphone, because LDAC codec wasnt used automatically, but everytime I connect my headphones have to change LDAC audio playback settings to 660kbps..any option how to fix that to not do it over and over again?
I noticed this as well,I can get up to 900 kbps on my Note 20 ultra, but have to change it everytime I use the headphones
I got the Best But exclusive midnight Blue version.... But I'm really loving the finish on the silver ones 😊
Can you guys review the Nuraloop?
I just got xm4 and noise cancellation is not that great🙄.. is there a way to test
Hey! I'm in batch 8. I also got that email, but nothing from DHL yet :(
4:57 thanks for helping me figure out why my android10 was playing on acc quality instead of Sony's ldac.
Huge Like 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sony noise cancelling headphones sound great, however, my WH1000XM3s never worked for more than a year. Two replacement pairs were sent to me. All three stopped charging around the 8-10 month mark. Time to switch brands unless the 1000XM4s are built to last longer.
Great review
If i use this headphone (wired), can i turn on anc?
the Lorier looks awesome :)
Nice review
Please do a review on WF-1000XM4 🙏🏻 🥺
Is this much better than Bose QC35ii?
amazing review
Today I was trying to rest for a bit, turn noise cancelling on, to cancel street noises etc, and set a low volume music.. ended up turning NC off.. due to the white noise or static! Like a wind sound! Really annoying.. is this normal?? Hope someone can help me. This are my first noise cancelling headphones..
Is it worth the upgrade if you have the 3's? I love my 3's right now
No
I mean ive had mine for two days and I'm considering returning them. Ive had the xm2 for two years before the xm4 and I can say that other than multiple device pairing and a slight improvement to sound and anc. The xm4 are little bit of a let down for me I expected a larger improvement from the xm2 but it was almost the same. Idk if you have to use them for a while to break them in but for now they are another worth the upgrade from the xm2 let alone the xm3
@@kevinpardo7667 i bought xm4 because xm4 is my first wireless headphone but I think if you have xm3 it's not gonna worth it just wait for xm5
My question is do they echo during the phone call? Like hearing my voice or something... When I first bought my first headphones 2 years ago I had a hard time deciding from Bose or Sony xm2 or xm3 don't remember which one. Luckily a friend of mine had the Sony headphones I think it was xm3 and let me test it out everything was amazing on it but when I tried phone calling on it it echoed and I heard my own voice while talking not sure what was the reason to it but I can't talk and hear my own voice.
So with this boring story I have given you all 😂 does the xm4 echo when I make a phone call?
In many cases echo is a symptom of acoustic feedback from the phone of the party you are talking to. Your voice travels across the phone system to the other party, their phone's speaker plays the sound, then their phone microphone picks up on that sound and it is transmitted back to your phone as an echo.
Anyyyways headphone quality has nothing to do with transmission errors it happens with the best kind of headphones. It has a lot to do with connection I believe. I would suggest investing in steel series. Seriously best quality headphones I ever owned. Also get a DAC jf u got the extra cash(only if u play online games on Xbox/ps4/PC)
How do they fit when wearing glasses?
These are on sale atm. Just bought a pair. I'm too excited!
Can you link me please?
Where are they on sale?
How long is the sale
What's the name of your background music?
I'm looking for the best anc headphones to block out my upstairs neighbour heavy footed and slams doors all day long would these block that out?
Can this be an option for PC gaming paired with a Mod Mic?
I own them- yes but use them wired, not wireless with your PC.
did you move to mkbhd channel?
Is it good for gaming?
Did they fix the headband cracking problem that the xm3 had?
Not with mine
Are you asking about slight cracking sound which you can SOMETIMES hear when moving your head or walking fast? I was wondering if that's the problem with just my pair
U deserve more views and subs
100%
ADAMMMM THE OGGG
What would you say are the best headphones for calls? I've never used headphones for calls so your voice didn't sound bad to me
For calls I wouldn't suggest the Sony XM4. The Bose 700 are better in our reviews. Also, if using the headphones on a computer for softphone calls or web meetings you will definitely want the Bose 700 UC variant.
Can you turn off the feature where it pauses music when you speak?
Yes. In the app.
Yes
I have WH-1000XM3 and still like it, WH-1000XM4 not worth the upgrade for me. I'll probably still get it next month if it's on sale
They are 278 at the moment
@@Joshsmoove I saw them on Amazon yesterday for $278. Still not worth it for me, i already have WH-1000XM3.
@@Tech1Tv same here. I think I'll stick with mine as well.
I love this headphones
I’m going to cop soon...
Got mine today. It’s awesome!
Hey man, I got a question for you:
Can you turn off the speak detection feature?
@@xXxDamon96 Just press and hold your index and middle finger together for about 3 seconds to either activate or deactivate speak to chat feature.
Thanks a lot! I will order them as soon as there’s a sale 🙌🏼☺️
I received them just 2 days ago hoping they will not disconnecting Bluetooth connection while using them, but they exactly like the xm2 keep disconnecting. 🤷🏼♂️ I follow all the steps how to connect them. Resented but they are do disappointing in terms of connectivity 😏 Does anybody else experienced that problem. I use iPhone 11 max pro which is enough expensive to be working good.
I have both Sony and Bose and another advantage over Bose is that the connectivity range is way better! I walked all the way to the other end of the gym and still had connectivity
So would you say these are good gym headphones? Any problem with sweat?
No, no problem with sweat. Call quality is poor though.
@@renoleevans Thanks, didn't expect you to respond with a year old comment. I am going to buy them for daily use and the Gym.
No problem! I get email alerts. It’s not hard to respond unless someone commented a long time ago and you have to search through every comment to find yours on your phone… unless you’re on a computer where you can hit ctrl+F to search for it…
Does anyone use the xm4 on video games and how does it sound. BTW i dont care about the mic on gaming cuz i only play story mode games.
Yes. They plug right into my ps4 controller and sound amazing. One can also purchase an aux mic as well ($30).
Nice watch 😊 Lorier 💕
Do they withstand rain? Anyone?
I come from Indonesia to greet friends, I hope this channel is always successful amen
Will get the xm4
Im surprised he didnt hate these
Mostly because i dont know if soundguys likes any pair of headphones at all
On your AirPods Pro video, they cancelled about 31 decibels and the Sony’s about 40. Why do people say the Sony’s noise cancellation is so much better when it only cancels out a few more decibels?
