  • 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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @thomasforssell9225
    @thomasforssell9225 4 года назад +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 :(

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.

    Placing myself in the position of a waiter or other service person, I would find it impolite if the customer would not be bothered to take off their headphones when placing an order or to communicate about other matters. It would be asking a bit much too much to expect people to be aware of these newly introduced features. Also, wearing headphones to listen to music over that many hours every day will most likely provide you with some profound hearing loss associated problems in the not too distant future. As for cancelling noise on a ferry or in other loud environment, no objections.

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 bought the Jabra 85h at $199 ot about half the price of these. Obviously, these are better but for most people a mid range pair of cans will get the job done.
    Especially, when you consider most people will use them at home

    good video, but quite disapointed that you whenever you tested the ANC, you didn't compare it with ANC off

    Very enticing, despite the price. Missed hearing the difference when listening to the environment by "pausing" the noise-cancelling
