Description

You can now check out the Sony WH-1000XM5 as well.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 is a good choice if you're looking for smart headphones with high-end noise canceling. The noise canceling ensures that ambient noise and white noise are reduced. Turn on this function and enjoy your favorite songs without being disturbed. When you start a conversation with someone, the music automatically pauses and ambient noise is amplified. That way, you don't have to take off the headphones. Download the Sony Headphones Connect app to adjust this smart function to your needs. To adjust the sound, select the equalizer in the app. You can determine how your favorite songs sound.

Noise canceling

Noise canceling is a technology that measures ambient noise and then reduces it with a counter-noise. This way, you hear less of your surroundings and more of your music. With the noise canceling switched on, you can listen to music for 30 hours on a fully charged battery.

Wear detection

The headphones not only detect when you start talking, but also when you take them off or put them on. There's a sensor in the left ear cup that knows when the headphones are on your ears. Did you take them off? The music pauses. Did you put them back on? The song continues.

Multipoint pairing

You can easily connect the XM4 to 2 playback devices at the same time via multipoint pairing. The headphones automatically switch between both connected devices, such as a computer and smartphone. When you play a song on your phone and then watch a video on your computer, the headphones automatically switch the connection.

Sound according to the expert

These headphones produce a powerful bass. Thanks to an accent around 125Hz, the bass is very clearly present. The mid tones are balanced, which means that instruments and vocals aren't any more or any less audible. That way, they don't deviate from how the artist intended them to sound. You can use the equalizer when you want to change the emphasis on the low, medium, and high tones. This way, you can adjust the sound to your own taste.

Note: Sony does include a charging cable, but no charger. Use your current accessories, or purchase them separately.

Fantastic headphones and well worth the money.

  • The sound quality is unprecedented for a bluetooth headset, there is even more detail in the high frequencies than with the xm4 and they are the most neutral wireless headphones of all.
  • The noise canceling does an excellent job.
  • Compared to other "wired" headphones around this price, it does not have a very good sound quality, I would not recommend it to audiophiles who want to buy it purely for the sound.

Silence in life, fine

  • No more screaming kids to hear
  • Approved by spectacle wearer
  • App with settings for NC and sound
  • Sound quality is nothing special

Initially bought because I will soon have to sit on a plane for 12 hours. I've done that before without noise canceling, but then you develop a kind of tinnitus so that you still have the hum of the engines floating through your head 3 days later. So well. Go with the crowd and get the most popular noise canceling headphones. And put on my head.

Conclusion? The outside world is just too noisy and now I don't want to be without it. A tour of the supermarket? Check. Working at the office? Check. Watching Netflix on the couch while someone else watches TV? Whoops, check. You only notice how much noise there is everywhere when you place this rascal over your crown. Even if it is not switched on, you will immediately hear less ambient noise. Now I always have to turn on music when I have it on, because the echo of my own heartbeat really drives me completely crazy. That's how quiet it is. For exactly the same reason, I almost always have the noise canceling set to maximum. Quietly in my own bubble. Nice man.

The only things that bother you are sudden noises and other people's talk; All noise canceling headphones actually have trouble with that. So don't expect complete funeral silence, but more the level of a silent compartment without babbling about the weekend of Julia and Sophie who are chatting behind you. You now feel like they are 6 rows away. Makes a difference anyway.

In terms of sound quality, a small downside, because I don't find it that special compared to my airpods. Just fine. Could also be me or my taste in music. I am of course not an audiophile, but just a simple soul with a preference for a lot of bass (can be set in the app!).

Then again +10 for comfort, because this thing really doesn't weigh a damn. And as a spectacle wearer I was concerned about the pressure against my frame - and maybe that will come if you actually wear them for 12 hours - but so far I haven't had any problems with it. The cushions are quite soft. Have they thought about it at the Sony drawing board.

All in all satisfied. It may be a price that you say to yourself, but you really get that out of it with daily use. It also seems ideal for longer journeys, whether you're on the plane, in the train or in the car. You get a travel bag and thank God there is an instruction on how to fold your headphones, because we can't all be Einstein. But we can all live in silence. You just need to place an order.

The product is even better than I expected, I did not expect such good sound to come from wireless headphones. I've been wearing it all day since I bought it.

  • Nice headphones

  • Good noise canceling
  • Bad microphone when calling with Teams or other apps

I often use my noise canceling headphones for work. Especially nowadays you often have digital meetings where I find it easy to meet with wireless headphones. I've always had Bose headphones before and never had any issues with Teams or meetings. Apparently the microphone of these Sony headphones does not work well in combination with Microsoft teams, so I will exchange it at coolblue. Not recommended for what I use my headphones for most despite the fact that they are a nice product.
