@@RugalBernsteinOfficial different vacuum cleaners sound different. and different headphone earpads block sound differently. it may be perfectly usable without noise cancellation. and may be not.
Besides the fact that you can disable it from the app if you hold 2 fingers on the right side of the headphones it also activates or deactivates which i think is very cool
That “hand to the headphone” to engage transparency mode was actually available on the mark 3 too. It’s a cool feature but I always feel so silly doing it.
The first few times that I did that some people were like " do you hear me or I am just talking to a wall?" And many don't take it seriously so I am just taking them out.
Kevin Shireman When you start talking, it pauses the music and goes into ambient sound mode. When you put your hand in the earcup, it quiets the music and goes into ambient sound mode. Marques said that both of those are new features but only the former is.
As a blind individual the extra features that would seem gimmicky to most people are actually extremely useful. Especially having a headphone that pauses or lowers volume of music when conversations begin. Taking out my phone and attempting to hit pause or trying to figure out which rocker is the volume can be frustrating. The noise cancling is super important with anxiety which a lot of blind individuals experience due to all the noises around us. So having better ambient noise filtration helps with dangerous situations like crossing streets.

The pass through feature when covering the right earcup was already a feature on the 1000XM3s. Just putting this out there for those contemplating the M3s over the M4s
Great review (as always). The design is understated, yet still pretty classy IMO. I agree with what you said. I'm a big Sony snob since I'm in radio and wear the MDR-7506's for my job each day on-air and they represent the industry standard for most realistic audio reproduction, and they sound great. I did what you said and ordered the XM3's since they are now cheaper, yet offer so much of what the XM4's do and since I never use multi-point, I'm good.
Every review: “the mic improved” Mkbhd: record it as an example for us to listen. Those little extra in the production makes this guy the best tech reviewer for me
@Sean Clelland I know, I'm just saying that example sounded bad..which is the truth. And since MKBHD in his review didn't explicitly say he think's it was good or bad, you should listen and make that call yourself. And not just accept it, and move along with the review since its inciting and well shot.
@Sean Clelland I totally agree with you! I was answering to "thats how these types of microphones work", I'm disappointed that such good piece of hardware (which I would really like to use) is still so bad in one aspect. I wanted to point out that it is not because of a limitation of the microphone type, and there is a huge room for improvement. I'm sure that Sony has a R&D power that would allow them to be on par with Jabra in mic quality, if they would pay more attention to it
I think it is a great review. Marques is my new go to guy for reviews. You articulate superiorly and leave few stones unturned. Love the added features you demonstrated. Those shown will be helpful to me! I am subscribed.
I have a VERY noisy roommate, ended up buying these on Amazon on Black Friday without doing much research just out of frustration. I’ve never had over ear headphones before, and I’m now extremely glad these are the ones I went with
I remember this Amazon review where it was like “these noise cancelling headphones are amazing! Someone actually got murdered in the floor below me. I didn’t hear a thing. A+++++ best noise cancelling headphones ever!!” Don’t know if it was for the Sonys specifically but that was definitely the funniest/craziest review I’d seen.
One of the funniest comments I've seen about this product is on this very video from Daniel Posner. "Careful when you wear these in a room with other people present. I really thought that I'd squeezed that fart out silently. However, the intense WTF look from my other half and amused stares from the other 5 people in the room informed me that I hadn't." Laughed my balls off.
I bought a pair of XM2's back in 2016-2017 and they are still going strong(charge/functionality) . I use them everyday at work while I micro-finish parts. Completely gets rid of all the ambient noise in a machine shop. I have so many hours on these its crazy. All ive had to replace was the ear-pads because they were starting to fall apart and de-laminate. I ordered a replacement set of ear pads and they are like brand new again. the hard case is starting to become pretty weathered though.
Things I learned watching this video: - I like the “HD” sign in the back. - I like the dbrand Rubik’s Cube. - They’re finally matte black, but now Marques is asking for a matte red. - Sony is still terrible at naming their products. - Great noise canceling.
I very nearly bought a set of the new Beats Solo3 Wireless (with the W1 chip) to replace my 3 year old half working original Solo3 Wireless before I saw this video. Thank you. Seriously. These things are amazing, and unless the new Solo3's have improved drastically (in terms of sound) from the original set I have, I definitely made the right choice here. So much more comfortable, actually stick out from my head less (I used to hate over-ear headphones because they usually look way too big on my head, but the Beats actually stick out more), sound amazing, and ANC isn't something I knew I needed until I had it. They even look somehow both cool and understated at the same time. About the only way I could see that the Beats would be better is they have about 30% more battery life (apparently). But 30 hours is more than enough.
@@jasonofrivia Ya I waiting for the xm3 price to go down so when there price go down wait for them to go on sale so I wanna what you think of the headphones
Went with these after nearly haveing a stroke at the price of the Airpods Max. Love them, they're a great set of headphones, and the Noise cancelling is really top notch :)
@@factspoint9274 That's what bothers me with the xm3 since i find them really cheap feeling and looking the way they are, compared to the Bose 700 headphones for example. So I'd rather use a skin in that case
If you want to fix the white noise from the active noise cancelling in these, you just need some foam ear plugs to wear under the headphones. Complete silence for an afternoon sleep while the flatmates are making noise or watching tv in the lounge. A travel neck pillow works wel too so you can sleep on your side while wearing them.
unless the mult-connect or improved mics are important to you you're not missing that much. music quality from what i can tell from reviewers i've seen that's done comparisons between the 3 and 4 is pretty minimal and that message has been consistent. Also hearing the same thing from buyers that have gotten their hands on it in europe since for whatever the US didn't its release at the same time
I bought M3 last year and no hard feeling when M4 came out. M4 is an improved version of M3. There is no big improvement that I really needed. I just need a noise-cancelling headphone that good enough to handle the plane engine noise and M3 is doing damn good.
@@a.ramirez3398 Hey God finally found you hahahah But you do nothing about it hahahaha. I'm going to stick with The Devils plan to make a 1,000,000 sins go in Hell like a Legend lol
I use these primarily with my Samsung RU7100. It was flakey for a while with stuttering and lagging rearing up on certain apps and devices. Lately those seem to have been resolved through updates and I have far fewer problems with those. The sound and directionality are superb, a great problem solver for how to reduce my noise output when on the telly
Marquess, the feature of putting your hand over the right earcup (resulting in lowering the music level, stopping the noise cancellation and switching on the pass-though)... that was already available in the XM3s. And it is working just as you described it here. I'm just mentioning it, as in the video it sounded like this is a new feature ("... you can also now, while the music is playing, put your hand..."), which is not. And someone could wrongly take this as a differentiating factor over the XM3s. Except that - great review, as always! Best regards!
@@acasualmusiclistener7919 No it wasn't, the point, that you clearly missed, was to make relevance on this so that person doesn't do it again. Stop making stupid comments, OK?
Got these during the Black Friday deals this year (for some reason Black Friday starts November 1st now) and I love them so much, they absolutely smash my old wireless overears.
I got mine when they came out for £330. And I don't care that it's way way cheaper now coz they're that good. I don't really see a point in getting the mark 4.
This was SUPER helpful. I just bought a pair of these and had absolutely no clue what I was getting myself into except quality headphones. My sister has the xm3’s and I was impressed. But after seeing this video review I’m super glad I went with the xm4’s. Thanks man!
When I first got their flagship WH1000x, I was mind blown. Best headphone that I’ve ever used for travel/commute...I even said if it goes bad I’ll definitely get a new one...7-8 years later. Still working well besides the foam peeling slightly and im happy to see that they’ve improved it so much more. Definitely will get the newer ones when im ready.
Like that approach, when the world ends this year, I will go all over RUclips saying ‘last’ before we all die. Future beings will go back to see our form of interaction and see everyone arguing for first but that one person saying last will be totally alone. Thanks for saying something that’ll be added to my day-dreaming list
Yep. Got them for Christmas and they sound amazing. I was thinking about AirPods Pro, since im kind of an apple fanboy ( with the phones at least), but i just took one look at the price and noped the fuck outta there.
@@SpontaneityJD when ever he starts he's video, he will be like, so I've been using this note 20 ultra for about a week now and here are my thoughts. Basically, its a lowkey flex that he had hands on the paticular device way much early than the others
There's an option where if you hold with two fingers you can enable/disable the speak-to-chat feature. I think it turns it from a gimmick to a much more useful feature than the palm thing. Now you can just activate it with a gesture when you know you might be talking to people and deactivate it right after so you don't have to worry about it going off. Honestly haven't tried in practice yet though.
I have the Wh900-n and they support the multi device function, so far up to 3 devices. That is with some quirks. The thought of extra noise cancellation alone is worth the money to me. Thanks for the review!

Great review (as always). The design is understated, yet still pretty classy IMO. I agree with what you said. I'm a big Sony snob since I'm in radio and wear the MDR-7506's for my job each day on-air and they represent the industry standard for most realistic audio reproduction, and they sound great. I did what you said and ordered the XM3's since they are now cheaper, yet offer so much of what the XM4's do and since I never use multi-point, I'm good.

Every review: “the mic improved”
Mkbhd: record it as an example for us to listen.
Those little extra in the production makes this guy the best tech reviewer for me
that example sounded like shit
@Sean Clelland I know, I'm just saying that example sounded bad..which is the truth. And since MKBHD in his review didn't explicitly say he think's it was good or bad, you should listen and make that call yourself. And not just accept it, and move along with the review since its inciting and well shot.
@Sean Clelland But they can sound much better. Check Jabra 85h or Bose NC700. Really hoped that mic quality in MX4 will at least get close to them.
@Sean Clelland I totally agree with you! I was answering to "thats how these types of microphones work", I'm disappointed that such good piece of hardware (which I would really like to use) is still so bad in one aspect. I wanted to point out that it is not because of a limitation of the microphone type, and there is a huge room for improvement. I'm sure that Sony has a R&D power that would allow them to be on par with Jabra in mic quality, if they would pay more attention to it
The mics still sound worse than the Nokia 3310! Wtf is Sony doing?
MKBHD: Or maybe some more cool colors, like a matte red...
Sony: *Spews coffee out mouth* YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!!! WE MADE THESE JUST FOR YOU!!!!

I have a VERY noisy roommate, ended up buying these on Amazon on Black Friday without doing much research just out of frustration. I’ve never had over ear headphones before, and I’m now extremely glad these are the ones I went with
I remember this Amazon review where it was like “these noise cancelling headphones are amazing! Someone actually got murdered in the floor below me. I didn’t hear a thing. A+++++ best noise cancelling headphones ever!!” Don’t know if it was for the Sonys specifically but that was definitely the funniest/craziest review I’d seen.
That's awesome
😂
and you won't even hear emergency alarm too that's amazing
One of the funniest comments I've seen about this product is on this very video from Daniel Posner.
"Careful when you wear these in a room with other people present. I really thought that I'd squeezed that fart out silently. However, the intense WTF look from my other half and amused stares from the other 5 people in the room informed me that I hadn't."
Laughed my balls off.

I bought a pair of XM2's back in 2016-2017 and they are still going strong(charge/functionality) . I use them everyday at work while I micro-finish parts. Completely gets rid of all the ambient noise in a machine shop. I have so many hours on these its crazy. All ive had to replace was the ear-pads because they were starting to fall apart and de-laminate. I ordered a replacement set of ear pads and they are like brand new again. the hard case is starting to become pretty weathered though.
me too! I got the XM2's back in 2017 and it's still working perfectly fine
The Sony’s already had the hand-on-cup feature to turn noise cancellation off.
Yeah I think he didn't know that.
Yeah lol, i have the xm3's and they have it
Yeah, I have that on my XB-900 :'D!
Xm1 hade it
My XM2s have it
“if we ever got to do that again”

Things I learned watching this video:
- I like the “HD” sign in the back.
- I like the dbrand Rubik’s Cube.
- They’re finally matte black, but now Marques is asking for a matte red.
- Sony is still terrible at naming their products.
- Great noise canceling.

I very nearly bought a set of the new Beats Solo3 Wireless (with the W1 chip) to replace my 3 year old half working original Solo3 Wireless before I saw this video. Thank you. Seriously. These things are amazing, and unless the new Solo3's have improved drastically (in terms of sound) from the original set I have, I definitely made the right choice here. So much more comfortable, actually stick out from my head less (I used to hate over-ear headphones because they usually look way too big on my head, but the Beats actually stick out more), sound amazing, and ANC isn't something I knew I needed until I had it. They even look somehow both cool and understated at the same time.
About the only way I could see that the Beats would be better is they have about 30% more battery life (apparently). But 30 hours is more than enough.

If you want to fix the white noise from the active noise cancelling in these, you just need some foam ear plugs to wear under the headphones.
Complete silence for an afternoon sleep while the flatmates are making noise or watching tv in the lounge.
A travel neck pillow works wel too so you can sleep on your side while wearing them.
Me listening to this on XM-3s: "I just bought these..."
unless the mult-connect or improved mics are important to you you're not missing that much. music quality from what i can tell from reviewers i've seen that's done comparisons between the 3 and 4 is pretty minimal and that message has been consistent. Also hearing the same thing from buyers that have gotten their hands on it in europe since for whatever the US didn't its release at the same time
Me too man...
Just enjoy your purchase, it won't matter when you look back in a year or two.
Same. The 3s are pretty fucking dope still. Is multi point connectivity really worth 50-100 bucks? It'd be nice but I'd rather keep the cash
I bought M3 last year and no hard feeling when M4 came out.
M4 is an improved version of M3. There is no big improvement that I really needed.
I just need a noise-cancelling headphone that good enough to handle the plane engine noise and M3 is doing damn good.

Marquess, the feature of putting your hand over the right earcup (resulting in lowering the music level, stopping the noise cancellation and switching on the pass-though)... that was already available in the XM3s. And it is working just as you described it here. I'm just mentioning it, as in the video it sounded like this is a new feature ("... you can also now, while the music is playing, put your hand..."), which is not. And someone could wrongly take this as a differentiating factor over the XM3s. Except that - great review, as always! Best regards!

There's an option where if you hold with two fingers you can enable/disable the speak-to-chat feature. I think it turns it from a gimmick to a much more useful feature than the palm thing. Now you can just activate it with a gesture when you know you might be talking to people and deactivate it right after so you don't have to worry about it going off. Honestly haven't tried in practice yet though.
Exactly i use the speak to chat very often now with the two finger gesture when going to coffee shops etc
