Top notch ANC, great battery life, good audio quality and poor mic
Audio Quality is great. These headphones sound amazing but the problem is they’re tuned out of the box. It doesn’t feel like they product neutral sound like many other headphones. But this is fine, you can always adjust the EQ, and Sony’s tuning isn’t bad (it’ll satisfy most users).Mic quality is pretty bad. I don’t understand how such an expensive has poor mic quality. It sounds like a mic from a cheap TWS earbud. This headphone isn’t for calls or meetings. The mic quality is only a part of the problem. It doesn’t have a sidetone feature. You can’t hear yourself talking while in a call. Trust me, you don’t used to this (you shouldn’t). It feels weird and in most cases, you’ll end up talking louder than you should, just to satisfy your brain.I use multi-point connectivity. I can keep the headphone connected to phone and PC at the same time. When I receive a call on a device, it automatically switches to that device. I wish the call experience on this headphone was better.Battery life is great as expected. It lasts days for my usage. It lasts even longer when I turn off ANC.It’s also very comfortable to wear this headset.I also like it that you can just fold the headset and place it on the table. It takes less space and doesn’t need a stand. The carry case is also nice.The cables Sony provides with the headset are really short. I don’t know why a billion dollar company like Sony does this with their expensive product lineup.One of the things I really liked about this headphones is that Sony’s app doesn’t require you to create an account and grant it permission to everything on the phone like some other brands. Connecting and configuring the headphone is also easy. The app has poor UX but it gets the job done. You probably don’t need to visit the app very often.

3 Months into use everyday, worth a purchase
I have been using these industry leading headphones by Sony, colour Midnight Blue, and trust me i find them worth every penny spent. Yes, i agree these headphones are highly expensive, some may say you can purchase Apple Airpods, Boss, Sennheiser, and other audio equipment options, but trust me nothing beats these bad boys.I am not a tech reviewer, but since being a musician, a music connoisseur myself and a huge fanatic of accessories such as headphones, earphones and smart gadgets, i can tell, these headphones are a revolution to the sound industry. I’ll be quoting every pros and cons that i’ve personally come across and might help a few of you who decide to purchase this beauty.Pros:1. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): Let’s talk about people who love listening to their music without any external interference while working, walking, running, working out, during a flight, or any other mode where they’d use them, ANC is a boon. Switch to ANC, you’ll have the minimum of the minimum noise entering your ears. Only sounds close to you can reach at a very low level, else wise, you won’t feel a thing in your ear. Be prepared for some bashing from your parents when they scream your name on top of their voices, and you’ve got that ANC kicked in.2. 3 Ambience Sound Control (ASC) ON: Apart from the ANC, there are two more features that these bad boys offer. ASC when active gives you a chance to listen to your surroundings at a certain level where you can be aware of people speaking, birds chirping, children hauling in the park, and other sounds. This feature enables one to understand the surrounding noises and doesn’t feel isolated.3. Ambience Sound Control (ASC) OFF: When ASC is disabled or switched off, you can listen to your surrounding voices in a much denser state, ie. much more clearly in comparison to when the ASC is enabled. This feature is much similar to the ASC ON, just a slight difference of pitch and volume of the surrounding entering your ears.4. Head Phones Connect by Sony: Let’s talk about the main functioning unit of these headphones, the app provided by Sony under the name of Head Phones Connect. You can download it from the App store if you are an iPhone user just like me, as well as from the play store for android users.This app is highly functional as well as quite intact providing a list of various functions such as adaptive sound control which is highly recommended to lazy people just like me. Once all set up, the app detects your actions and locations frequently, and switches the headphones settings automatically.In addition, if you are a daily user of these headphones just like me, the app tracks your daily attributes such as at what certain volume do you like listening you music, which mode do you mostly use, which location do you travel, and then adjusts the headphones as per your choice.One feature which at first startled me a lot but i really got impressed by it which is the Speak-to-chat feature. It’s always annoying to either pull your phone out of your pocket and pause the music or to just pull off your headsets every time you need to talk to someone. This feature enables your headphones to pause automatically the instant you start speaking, and shall remain pause for about 20 secs and resume on their own if they do not detect any speech.For better sound quality, the app detects the size and shape of your ear through these headphones. This enables the device to perform better with distinct users.5. Motion Gestures: The right ear piece of the headphones has all the motion gestures such as taps for music pause/play, attend a call, play next/previous song and remove the headsets and the song pauses. These controls are highly helpful and can be easily learnt through the guide book provided, hence i won’t dive deeper into it.6. Number of devices that can be paired at once: These headphones provide an option of connecting two devices simultaneously. You can connect these headphones to almost every device that has a latest and updated version of bluetooth/NFC. Devices that i’ve paired them with are iPhone, macbook, hp laptop, and android phones.7. What’s in the box: The box comes with an impressive in-shape carrying case to carry these bad boys where ever you go. Also they include a C-type data cable for charging, 3.5mm jack cable which is quite long (haven’t measured it honestly, but it is as long as a regular data cable), and a dual port 3.5mm jack converter, which so far i haven’t tested.8. Battery Life: Well i must say that i am quite impressed with the battery backup these headphones provide. This device completely charges within 3 hours and trust me with an ON/OFF mode of playing music regularly, the battery stays up till 4-5 days, which is i bet a highly impressive feature which probably no other company audio equipment in this range might have.9. Voice Assist Functions: These headphones can be connected to google assistant, SIRI and alexa and perform really well.10. Easy access keys: The headphones are enable with two easy access keys on the left earphone. The custom key toggles between the 3 modes that i’ve already mentioned above which are guided by the in-built assistant voice. The power key pressed long enough, turns ON/OFF the device and pressed once, the in-built assist provides you with the current % of the battery left.11. Comfort: I should had talked about it earlier, but never mind. With no questions asked these headphones are highly comfortable, the cushion provided is the softest pad your ears can get. Since i am regular spectacle user, i find it hard with headphones imposing excessive pressure over the ears, making it a painful experience, but these headphones give a feather touch to your ears, even if you are specy or even while wearing a face mask. These go good with everything.12. Battery Saver: These headphones tend to power-off on their own if not in use for more than a minute which is a highly power efficient feature added by Sony to the device.Cons:1. If you are into running or any sort of longer workouts, be prepared for sweaty ears. Since the cushions on these headphones completely cover you ears, creating a vacuum sort of environment, no air flows in and out, and the sweat starts dripping down from the earphones, which i must state doesn’t affect them at all, only can be slightly irritating sometimes.2. ANC can be difficult to be kept enabled every time since it reduces the environment sounds to almost negligible, which can be dangerous while running or walking at a buss street. Be very careful while using this feature. Probably it is made for environments such as while travelling in a bus or a flight, and seems suitable for these environments.3. Since these headphones can be simultaneously be connected to two devices at once, which is a boon, but is also a slight problem in disguise. Imagine your headphones are connected with your laptop as well as you phone. You are attending an important zoom call while on your laptop and the headphones are in action, your phone starts to ring, now abruptly you’ll start hearing you phones ringtone, and the device gets a little startled to which device shall be entertained. i’ve personally faced this, but i tend not to connect them to two devices at once.PS: One highly important thing is, you won’t get an experience of the sound through reading review or watching Youtube videos. You might get a fair image of weather to invest in them or not, but you’ll only get the sound experience when you’ll listen the music through these bad boys.

Decent Quality
Pros:* Feels like a premium product, packaging and the provided carry pouch are perfect, aux cable is a plus, charging cable could have been longer* Very comfortable to wear over workouts, etc.* Connects instantly on my iPhone 13 after you turn on the product* Bluetooth reach is good* Sound is balanced with not too much overpowering bass… overall good enough for gym goers.* Noise isolation is really great* App for connection is simple enough and gives you customizing options…Cons* Build quality although decent still does not feel like a premium product costing 20k plus, a few metal bits here and there would have made it possible* Not for true audiophiles.. more a competition of beats by dr dreAll in all, if you get a good deal during some festival go for it.. DO NOT BUY IT AT FULL PRICE!

I’ve had these earphones for a month now and I feel like they are the best noise cancelling headphones I have ever owned. My previous ones were an older model Bose and then a comparable Sennheiser.My job requires that I do inspections in various industrial facilites.My initial work is about five hours in an office, but the decibel level is still around 70dB. At that level, the Sony WH-1000XM4 remove about 95% of the ambient noise. Music, computer videos and telephone conversations are excellent. These headphones are very good at that level.I next spend up to four hours inspecting out of the equipment floor. The noise level varies from around 78dB to 82dB. Not painfully loud, but it can cause short term hearing damage in short sessions, but 5hrs/day on a regular basis can permenantly affect your hearing. To give you a reference point, you would have to shout at someone standing about 3ft away for them to understand you. So it’s not jet engine loud, but it’s uncomfortable and in addition to hearing damage, long term exposure can raise your blood pressure and cause other negative effects on your physical and mental health. And yet, the level at which OSHA requires hearing protection is 85dB.All this is to say that I take sound cancellation seriously, and I also take my music seriously too. These earphones are great on both fronts. I’m very comfortable at work and I can listen to my playlists and don’t feel as if I have to turn up the volume to drown out the noise of the machinery. It’s really pretty cool.My total shift is about ten hours, and I feel no discomfort wearing these over my ears. I’m also bald, and there is plenty of padding on the band where it contacts the top of my head. I’m very happy with these, and even though I’ve spent more for earphones, I’ve never had a better pair for my needs.The only downside is that they are not great when using them to make phone calls in a loud enviroment. I honestly didn’t expect them to function great in that respect, but it would have been great if they did.The app has numerous ways to customize your experience. More than I actually use. The adaptive sound kept changing the noise cancellation as I moved, so I turned it off. The Speak to Chat feature could be handy, but I occasionally sing along with my music and it would switch off the cancellation. So I turned that feature off also.PROS:Very comfortable to wear for hours at a time.Very good sound cancellation.Love that they pause the playback when you remove the headphones.Great that just holding a hand over the right ear cup will turn off cancellation so you can have a conversation without removing your earphones.Very good music reproduction. Bass is not quite true, but if it was really pronounced, I could adjust the equalizer.The app is very good and has a lot of features, I was pleasantly surprised even though I don’t need or use many of them. It’s very helpful.Love the ability to stay connected to two devices at the same time. My phone and my computer work well with the earphones.Cons:Sometimes I wish they were a little more snug (maybe I have a small head?)The app is almost TOO helpful. It can take some trial and error to get everything set up as you like it.I would prefer a more tactile controls. These require that you sweep a finger over the outside of the ear cup for volume and track control. It’s actually very accurate, but I would still appreciate something that I could use while wearing gloves.Overall, these are a total win, and a bargain at the price. You could probably get something just a shade better, but it would be at a significantly higher price. These are perfect for me and my situation. I would defintely buy them again.

Review completo como consumidor y profesional dedicado al audio, si te da flojera leer, de entrada te digo que esto vale cada centavo, no lo dudes ni esperes, rompe el cochinito porque te lo estás perdiendo.Ahora si para los que dudan de Dios:Hace 3 años adquirà los MDR-XB950N1, mejor conocidos como los Sony Extra Bass. Sin duda fueron una compra demasiado buena, pasé de unos Skullcandy Hesh 2 a los Extra Bass y vaya que la diferencia es muy considerable.Ahora, 3 años después decidà hacer un “upgrade”, yo me dedico a la música, soy estudiante de la materia y me dedico al audio, la verdad es que no puedo llevarme mis audÃfonos de estudio fuera de casa, necesitaba unos que realmente ofrecieran buena calidad, portabilidad y facilidad de uso con mis aplicaciones. Encontré estos después de hacer un par de búsquedas en internet, los comparé con varias opciones y al final me decidà por comprarlos.En primera debo decir que he quedado impresionado por la tecnologÃa que traen estos audÃfonos. Puedes personalizar el audio acorde a tu oreja, asà es, a la forma de tu oreja, Sony te pide que tomes un par de fotos para que se puedan analizar y proveer mejor experiencia, nunca en mi vida habÃa visto algo asÃ.Desde que los abres se denota un producto bastante premium y que vale el dinero que se paga por él, ya que de hecho no es nada barato.La experiencia de abrirlo es excelente, pero es cuando bajas la aplicación que empiezas a ver lo brutal de estas máquinas. De adelanto estos audÃfonos ya vienen con carga máxima, o al menos asà fue en mi caso, no te pide que los cargues ni nada, funcionan desde que los sacas de la caja. Son extremadamente cómodos y si eres miope como yo y usas fierros para ver, estos audÃfonos no te van a incomodar en ningún momento.No es que quiera advertir, sino más bien dar aviso de que por defecto los audÃfonos se oyen un poco flojos, el sonido está un poco saturado, y si te gusta escuchar música como el Heavy Metal o música clásica te quedas pasmado, no se oyen para nada como los Extra Bass que al salir de la caja otorgan un sonido fino y bien configurado. Estos no, pero entiendo por qué lo hacen, ya que como mencioné, la experiencia de verdad comienza cuando bajas la aplicación que tiene como mil opciones de configuración y optimización de sonido, asà que prepárate para estar ahà unos 25 minutos de tu vida, que sin duda alguna por supuesto, lo valen.Una vez que has pasado las optimizaciones, toca jugar con el ecualizador, yo recomiendo configuración 400: 1 1K: 3 2.5K: 7 6.3K: 8 16K: 5 Clear Bass: +5 o +7 para escuchar Heavy Metal y música clásica, aunque si eres fan de los medios tal vez quieras mover un poco más, pero como dije, esto es libre y Sony te prevé todas las herramientas para que esto quede sabroso.Ya con todo listo, toca escuchar música, y ahà es cuando te da el golpe. SabÃa que habrÃa una diferencia entre los Extra Bass que tengo y los M4 que son estos, pero no sabÃa que realmente se fuera a notar tanto. Estos no son audÃfonos, son interfaces de audio andantes, además, Sony te regala una prueba gratis en cualquier servicio de restringe que contenga su servicio Sony Audio 3D, yo escogà Tidal, pero también puedes escoger otros 3 más, ahà aparece la opción.De verdad que escuchar música en formato de alta calidad como es el FLAC que te ofrece Tidal es algo maravilloso, inclusive después de varios años escuchando lo mismo, logré notar varios elementos musicales extras que antes ni sabÃa que existÃan en la canción, ahà es cuando te vas para atrás, es como por fin escuchar las cosas sin filtro. También recomiendo el formato “Loss-less” de Apple music en caso de que sean usuarios de iPhone o solo para que tengan una tercera opción. Sea cual sea el servicio que escojan, se oye increÃble, pero sin duda combinado con formatos de baja compresión esto se vuelve mÃstico.Claro que esto no es tan plano como unos audÃfonos de estudio, pero sin duda la experiencia se acerca bastante.En conclusión, estos audÃfonos realmente son un producto bastante premium, te otorgan no solo alta calidad de audio, sino una experiencia tecnológica muy innovadora, además vienen con su porta audiófonos y cables correspondientes, son muy cómodos y portables. Los recomiendo al 100% no duden en adquirirlo para nada.
