Perhaps the problem comes from people's hands being too cold? You could: Get a bucket. Put a specific amount of liters of water in it. Put a thermometer in it. Cool it to a specific temperature. Put your hand in it for a specific amount of time. Test and repeat. ✔ Either that or you could do something else. 🤸♂️
InfoSopher : it is the opposite, actually. You have something cold (headphones) being touched by something warm (fingers). Moisture from the hands condenses on the touch panel... and as you know water is conductive, and the touch panel wasn’t smart enough to filter out those “false” inputs. The same problem happens when you transition cold headphones into a warm building (probably worse actually)... but it seems that these issues have been resolved
You guys really give the impression that you’ve truly used all the headphones you review and your reviews are extremely assuring. Amazing video once again!
@@mowhmo I mean I wasn’t there to witness them use all the headphones. So yeah it can only really be an “impression” as the viewer no matter how assuring it is
Can you turn the noice cancelling on even if you are not listening to anything? i didn't know that. i thought you have to listen to some music/podcast when the ANC is on?
@@mard192837 yess it stays passively on. But understand that it can't cut everything out. You can still hear noises that aare very close to you. But muffled a bit.

Oh my God. Thank you sooo much for the cold weather test. I stay in sub freezing temperature and hence was looking if XM4 still have the problem that many XM3 users had reported. Literally no one else did this test so THANK YOU !
Most of the complaints about the xm4 start with the removal of position control and surround VPT so i dont think it was a minor change that nobody wouldve minded
Hey guys, I love your entertaining and unbiased reviews! A rant below, not directed at you ;-) I have tried a lot of cans in this pricerange, and I would dub the Sonys "The king of NC". But not the "King of Audio" if you compare to other wireless phones with NC (that price goes to Dali io6), nor the best Mic-quality (I prefer the Plantronics Voyager 8200). But what bugs me the most is when some are calling the Sonys "The best headphones in the world", when they don't sound anything like wired headphones for a third of the price. They do noice cancelling well, but that is about it. The Audio is just about what you expect for Wireless NC cans in this pricerange and the mic well below (Compare with Jabra or Plantronics for example). My 2 cents.
Only thing Sony didn’t tell, except by a picture and a few words; is HOW to turn the headset OFF. The sheet tells the user to press the “on” switch for 2 seconds. The Bluetooth light kept flashing and I ran the battery down a couple of times; which took 3 hours of recharging. It took 2 calls to Sony Canada, to find out that; WHILE WEARING, the “on” switch is pressed, until “SOUND OF” is heard; then keep pressing for a couple of seconds, till the headset is actually turned off. I now use and prize my WH-1000 earphones, more than any other pair I have had over the years; I am 85 and tech-savvy. On a scale of 10; a very solid 10 for the WH-1000 XM4; which is usually paired to 2 Bluetooth sources.
Hi. I just discovered you as I want an over-ear headphones and looking for bose vs sony. I love your vids, very professional and far from boring! And I think you live in The Netherlands from some pics; if so, regards from a Spanish guy living in Tilburg (Noord Brabant).
I have a question: on 2:26 you have mentioned that you've managed to change the custom button to cycle between Noise Cancellation, Wind Reduction and Ambient Mode. I would really like to know how you managed to get the wind reduction as your "middle custom button" since I also cycle a lot.
Thank you so much! It's working perfectly now😀. Would like to say that this channel is so underrated, you deserve way more attention! Keep on going with what you do, because it's perfect👍🏼
Woaw the Best Sony Wireless Headphone Right Now but not for Me because the Bass Power is Balance so I'm Staying with My XB900N & wait for XB901N Next Year!!! Yay 😀😁😀
Just wanted to point out that the XB900N and the XB901N only have 25mm drivers, while the MK4's have a 40mm driver. If you really like bass, go for the older wireless ANC Sony MDR-XB950N1, which even 3 years later, have much better bass response than even the MK4's.
Just received my XM4 today. I played with the equalizer settings and put them all to max in custom setting 2. They were not loud enough for me and my Soundcore Q45 sounded louder and clearer than the XM4s. My IEM VXS sounded much better and they only cost $50. And my Airpods Pro M1 Sounded much better. I am returning them.
I had the ATH-M50X and purchased they Sony WH-1000XM4 and I thought I was going to be blown away with the sound and I think the ATH-M50X sound better. The instruments are a little bit more noticeable. Someone help me! Do I have to adjust the sound on the Sony WH-1000XM4?
Hi I bought these for ASD autism and sound sensitivity. I picked them for wind noise and that they claimed to cancel higher pitches than others, like my nieces and nephews playing. Do you have any opinions on which noise cancelling headphones are best for people seeking less sensory stimulation. (Less noise signals to the brain) I know the ASD comunity is always looking at the headphones avalible.
Hey @DHRME , i just got those headphones , and there's audio leak , meaning that my parents can also hear what i hear , its quite disturbing , so i would like to ask that is this problem only in my headphones or is it in the headphones itself? Please answer as soon as possible.
Hi, i tried the WH-1000XM4 demo product in a store, but i was not able to change the volume with the touch control. I especially tried to hold finger up or down with no result. Does the volume work great with your retail unit? 2 or 3 things that make me want to look away : Touch controls... No independant Noise cancelling and Phone assistant button (i would like to be able to control noise cancelling intensity on the touchpad as well) No APTX especially with APT-X just around the corner :-/ LDAC is more power hungry
Touch controls are quite reliable Joe. If you can detect the difference between AAC and APTX HD, then might be relevant for you. The button - if you want to use the native assistant, long press on the right cup works as well.
Lovely review. 1. Please kindly let me no if they are good for watching movies on smart TV with bluetooth through Amazon fire stick or pre-installed Netflix. which is my main criteria. Is their difference in sound quality when watched on laptop or TV. 2.Any other better option both sound n comfort. Like audeze mobius have heard 7.1 only works with wire.
Such a shame that Sony didn't make more upgrades for theses headphones. I have the WH-1000xm3 and I'm just going to wait for the next version to come out. Hopefully those will be even better.
I don't know the 34m seems too low. I think it had something to do with cars and other obstacles. I had my phone on the other end of a 100m hall and the Bluetooth stayed connected.
i dont understand you guys say the it performs the best with only android devices but all you guys are using are apple devices which supports AAC , so is AAC good enough?
I am using an iPad Pro as my main device. Should I go for these headphones knowing the ipad wont support LDAC codec?? I plan on using these for video calls as well. Need help with the decision. Please help😅
If the xm4 is only the best at ANC what’s the best headphone, wired or wireless for best sound quality and ANC or perhaps just best sound quality? Thanks
Hi, Do you know somthing about low volume issues ? I have tried the Sony wh-1000xm4 in a store and the volume seems like 70% at the maximum, and not louder then I expect
I have a question.. how do I get a automatic Bluetooth connection too my LG C2 oled ? I paired it and the name is in the Bluetooth Devices list . Now every time I power on my xm4 it doesn’t comes on the screen ? I have too go every time in my sound settings to get connected? My AirPods it does comes on the screen .?…
I have 1000xm4's and my only complaint, and it's a massive one for me, is that there is no app for PC. Nobody needs wireless for a phone that you carry around with you but a static PC really needs to have the app. Especially if you want ldap. Somebody at Sony needs a good spanking! 😆
Nice review guys! I have a question doe :( Im a conflicted buyer between the XM3s or the XM4s. Do you still think it is worth buying the XM3s in 2020? Since it has a lower price already than the XM4s, I am quite confused about what to pick up. Thank you so much!
I have xm3s. Bought the 4s but took them back because the 3 are just as good. Only thing the 4s do I like more is you can connect them to multiple devices while with the 3s only one. But for the savings go with the 3s you won't regret it
Wait, so does the multi-pairing drop down the quality to AAC? Because what that says to me is if I’m already locked into the Apple ecosystem and chained to AAC then these headphones are perfect, no?
How does this compare with Shure Ionic 50 ? Not an audiophile. I will use headphone for noise cancelation while at work. Also looking for something that will last longer like a few years.
I can't compare em to the Ionic 50s as I haven't tried them & I'm not an audiophile either although I really appreciate high quality sound and I'm 100% satisfied with the XM4s!
I’m thinking of getting a pair of xm4, but do they really cancel out all noise just by turning on ANC, without playing any music? I work from home, and the noise of children playing outside can be annoying. Thank you guys.
Hey I got a name call, just sorting through a short list of pr consultants at the moment, it’s all so sudden 🤩. Slightly worried about the pause after the “do you believe him”, probably just an editing issue 😳. As I said I do wonder if it’s a timbre and enunciation effect, I’ve noticed on a lot of headsets that voices of a slightly lower frequency do seem to be handled better by the software. What I could do is send you a recording of my voice from say a recorded zoom session, i could drop it through a tweet on one of my personal twitter accounts, that way you could tell me if my dear colleagues are just saying it sounds ok to shut me up 😃, what do you say?. If it really is crap I only have a week left to return them but no idea what to replace them with as I am done with Bose, I could wait to see what the new Apple studios are like I guess, as I am immersed in Apple as you know so the surface aren’t an option plus I don’t like their audio. So gentlemen you up for it?
Haha. That’s ok Adrian. We do believe you, we wouldn’t make you famous otherwise! There are just so many variables on things like this it’s good to get a diversity of opinion.
Hey adrian! I am using iPad Pro as my main device and was worried since it supports only AAC and SBC codecs. Will it be usable on video calls and will the noise cancelling be as good while working on an iPad pro with the XM4?
Noise cancelling doesn’t vary with the hardware is connected to. The AAC codec usually sounds plenty good for most. On phone calls, well let Adrian answer. ;)
@@DHRME @Sanmit Moore, DHRME are one of the main channels I have subscribed to since I started getting into my audio in any major way and the source of much of what I know, so what that guy just said 😉
my XM4 is stuttering when listening to my smartphone (Samsung A50) - but only in the 'connect to 2 devices simultaneous mode'. Very annoying. Sony claims that my pc (Lenova L13) is causing this phenomena (due to missing A2DP). I am consider to replace my headphone by Bowers & Wilkins' PX7. Looking forward if you would review that model
Do you think that getting the XM4 and then using the EQ to tune it to sound better is a better overall choice than choosing something like say, the Sennheiser PXC 550 iis or the Momentum 3s? I'm worried about the sound stage and the instrument separation since I play the guitar and would more enjoy if these attributes were better, but I don't know how much better the competition really is.
I think these and the Momentums are very close. The PXCs are a slightly different beast - much flatter. The Sony's take EQs tremendously well, but some prefer the Momentums just for the sound. As an overall package however, the Sony's are slightly better.
Bose is the absolute BEST at Noise cancelling, voice calls, ambient sound pass through. The XM4 are for those who want that BUMP in their music. Bose 700 has their signature sound (light on bass), and you can’t change it. Microsoft surface 2 is subpar on both accounts by my tastes... but they are also cheaper if I recall correctly. Also the dials are nice, but to be honest, not a game changer I haven’t tried any other premium headphone brands, I spent a month with all the brands above.
I had an terrible time sadly with my Bose, 4 replacements due to battery memory loss, terrible issues with dual connect that affected my work, signature sound not inspiring, plus I object to being told how my ears work and what the correct sound is, I don’t remember them coming around and giving me a hearing test?, awful connection issues with the app. They were not reliable or enjoyable to use for work. When they occasionally did work for calls in single connect mode good for calls I agree. Not as good as having my iPhone a couple of feet from my face and using it’s mike though which is easy to configure in Zoom or using the Mike on my Logitech pro web cam.
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?
@@anandkumarjaggi I gave up I changed priority settings to connection and its automatically to AAC codec and its ok for me no disturbance or changing settings every day. its annoying
I am very hesitating between the xm4's and the sennheiser pxc-550-ii. I listen to mostly heavy metal (think whitechapel, trivium, gojira) I am using a android and a PC (windows10) the xm4 are costing 300$ right now for me
@@DHRME Thx a lot ! The videos did in fact, help ! I see that the PXC have a neutral sound. I think the sony's would be better in my situation. A lot of new metal bands have a lot of low end with 7 strings guitars. And the guttural vocals are very low. Theses headphones would be mainly use for listening to music on my android devices AND watching youtube on my PC while sipping some coffee. I can put them wired so if there is too much latency ! And, I have to admit that the EQ is something VERY nice ! AND I also prefered the look of sony's and PXC. Didnt like the ''attention seeker look'' of momentum ahah ! And I know that bluethoot 5,0 got A/C for the latency so I should be good ! Thx for the great videos !!!
Hi peeps! I'm a programmer, I would like to use these headphones in an open office environment with low volume and "pass through" always on to be able to hear and speak to my team mates. Would this be possible? My first option was the surface 2 but I heard the pass thru mode was kind robotic and "underwater". Thanx for any advice!
@@DHRME awesome, ty! the xm4 also have an "attention" mode that can be left as always on? every review I checked they always mention that "cover the hear cup" or the new automated mode, so not sure if you can just toggle it and leave it on
@@DHRME nice! thank you guys! gonna give it a try. hopefully with music at low enough volume people won't have to throw coffee mugs at me to ask me something ;)
The Bose 700 have the best "pass thru" audio, it is the most natural ambient sound of any of the ANC wireless headsets that I own. I prefer the overall sound of the MK4 but I use my Bose 700 when mic and ambient noise quality matters the most (in an office setting), and the MK4 when I want that nice punchy sound (music and movies), on the go.

Perhaps the problem comes from people's hands being too cold?
You could:
Get a bucket.

Couple of Questions:
How was the experience between wired and AAC on the macbook.
Lossless audio on an AAC - Was this tested ?
Lossless on AAC is indistinguishable from Spotify. Yeah, that bad!
So the ANR is slightly above Bose's QC45 & 700?
Thanks for that freezer test.
Did the touch controls work after the freezer? They didn't say. Lol
i dont understand you guys say the it performs the best with only android devices but all you guys are using are apple devices which supports AAC , so is AAC good enough?
To get the best out of these headphones, LDAC is theoretically better. But for most people, the AAC implementation on Apple devices is very good.

Wait, so does the multi-pairing drop down the quality to AAC? Because what that says to me is if I’m already locked into the Apple ecosystem and chained to AAC then these headphones are perfect, no?
Yep! But that feature is equal to a lot of other headphones that do multi-device with AAC e.g. Bose 700
Interesting! It was nice of Apple to level the playing field like that by having inferior audio quality to their competition 😄

How does this compare with Shure Ionic 50 ? Not an audiophile. I will use headphone for noise cancelation while at work. Also looking for something that will last longer like a few years.
I can't compare em to the Ionic 50s as I haven't tried them & I'm not an audiophile either although I really appreciate high quality sound and I'm 100% satisfied with the XM4s!
Have you seen the new Silent White XM4?
Yes, look nice!
I’m thinking of getting a pair of xm4, but do they really cancel out all noise just by turning on ANC, without playing any music? I work from home, and the noise of children playing outside can be annoying. Thank you guys.
That kind of noise will be cancelled out, but don't expect total silence!
@@DHRME wow, if that’s the case, can you do a video on how much noise, or what types of noise can a pair of ANC headphones really cancels out?
We've done multiple. Check out the videos on the channel.
Honestly, yours guys videos are great but the mic lets it down a bit I would say.
I know! This was our second attempt, posted about it in the community as well. We need to get new hardware. Thanks for being patient!
good job, guys.
Hey great review, enjoying your channel :)
Do you experience any hissing with the XM4s or XM3s when ANC is on and you don't play any music?
Hey I got a name call, just sorting through a short list of pr consultants at the moment, it’s all so sudden 🤩. Slightly worried about the pause after the “do you believe him”, probably just an editing issue 😳. As I said I do wonder if it’s a timbre and enunciation effect, I’ve noticed on a lot of headsets that voices of a slightly lower frequency do seem to be handled better by the software. What I could do is send you a recording of my voice from say a recorded zoom session, i could drop it through a tweet on one of my personal twitter accounts, that way you could tell me if my dear colleagues are just saying it sounds ok to shut me up 😃, what do you say?. If it really is crap I only have a week left to return them but no idea what to replace them with as I am done with Bose, I could wait to see what the new Apple studios are like I guess, as I am immersed in Apple as you know so the surface aren’t an option plus I don’t like their audio. So gentlemen you up for it?
Haha. That’s ok Adrian. We do believe you, we wouldn’t make you famous otherwise! There are just so many variables on things like this it’s good to get a diversity of opinion.
Hey adrian!
I am using iPad Pro as my main device and was worried since it supports only AAC and SBC codecs. Will it be usable on video calls and will the noise cancelling be as good while working on an iPad pro with the XM4?
Noise cancelling doesn’t vary with the hardware is connected to. The AAC codec usually sounds plenty good for most. On phone calls, well let Adrian answer. ;)
@@DHRME @Sanmit Moore, DHRME are one of the main channels I have subscribed to since I started getting into my audio in any major way and the source of much of what I know, so what that guy just said 😉
my XM4 is stuttering when listening to my smartphone (Samsung A50) - but only in the 'connect to 2 devices simultaneous mode'. Very annoying. Sony claims that my pc (Lenova L13) is causing this phenomena (due to missing A2DP). I am consider to replace my headphone by Bowers & Wilkins' PX7. Looking forward if you would review that model
Blackstratblues nice.
👊
So, if iphone 8 plus, sennheisser 550 II instead?
Do you think that getting the XM4 and then using the EQ to tune it to
sound better is a better overall choice than choosing something like
say, the Sennheiser PXC 550 iis or the Momentum 3s? I'm worried about
the sound stage and the instrument separation since I play the guitar
and would more enjoy if these attributes were better, but I don't know
how much better the competition really is.
I think these and the Momentums are very close. The PXCs are a slightly different beast - much flatter. The Sony's take EQs tremendously well, but some prefer the Momentums just for the sound. As an overall package however, the Sony's are slightly better.
What's the full form of DHRME?
Any suggestions? ;)
Direct Halcyon response from me 🤣
Definitely Has Realistic Meanings Emanating
Bose is the absolute BEST at Noise cancelling, voice calls, ambient sound pass through.
The XM4 are for those who want that BUMP in their music. Bose 700 has their signature sound (light on bass), and you can’t change it.
Microsoft surface 2 is subpar on both accounts by my tastes... but they are also cheaper if I recall correctly. Also the dials are nice, but to be honest, not a game changer
I haven’t tried any other premium headphone brands, I spent a month with all the brands above.
I tried the Sennheiser momentum’s and I really liked them in so many ways but I think I’d wait for Their next version.
Bose has the eq back now, but even with that said: I agree 🙂
I had an terrible time sadly with my Bose, 4 replacements due to battery memory loss, terrible issues with dual connect that affected my work, signature sound not inspiring, plus I object to being told how my ears work and what the correct sound is, I don’t remember them coming around and giving me a hearing test?, awful connection issues with the app. They were not reliable or enjoyable to use for work. When they occasionally did work for calls in single connect mode good for calls I agree. Not as good as having my iPhone a couple of feet from my face and using it’s mike though which is easy to configure in Zoom or using the Mike on my Logitech pro web cam.
I thought they were the same guy with and without beard

Hi
How i can use my headphone my xbox1 or playstation connecting and play and chat my friends. please 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?
No idea. What does Dr Google say?
@@DHRME People writting about how to change codec to LDAC but doesnt go further than that
@@RoMusic2011 did u manage to solve the issue?
@@anandkumarjaggi I gave up I changed priority settings to connection and its automatically to AAC codec and its ok for me
no disturbance or changing settings every day. its annoying
@@RoMusic2011 Thx for the info..which phone are you on btw if u dont mind me asking?
When i put them on i can still hear tv
Is there a button to cancel out all noise. Im new. And can't figure it out
I am very hesitating between the xm4's and the sennheiser pxc-550-ii. I listen to mostly heavy metal (think whitechapel, trivium, gojira) I am using a android and a PC (windows10) the xm4 are costing 300$ right now for me
Maybe this helps? ua-cam.com/video/KdRW5QY6l9M/v-deo.html
I'm a fellow metal head as well. :)
@@DHRME Thx a lot ! The videos did in fact, help ! I see that the PXC have a neutral sound. I think the sony's would be better in my situation. A lot of new metal bands have a lot of low end with 7 strings guitars. And the guttural vocals are very low. Theses headphones would be mainly use for listening to music on my android devices AND watching youtube on my PC while sipping some coffee. I can put them wired so if there is too much latency ! And, I have to admit that the EQ is something VERY nice ! AND I also prefered the look of sony's and PXC. Didnt like the ''attention seeker look'' of momentum ahah ! And I know that bluethoot 5,0 got A/C for the latency so I should be good ! Thx for the great videos !!!
You’re welcome! Feel free to use it links if our advice helped!
And also I am anxious to know what happened to the headphones 🥺
Xm4 vs freebuds studio ANC test please
Can you test that it turns off Bluetooth if I listen to music with 3.5mm?
It doesn't force turning off. You can choose to have it on.
Just got them today, and when I tested the anc only, i can still hear the tv and the kids playing. I think all anc should be called noise minimizing.
Well, it is noise cancelling and not noise eliminating!
@@DHRME Great point.
Listening on the XM4's.. 😅😅
Hi peeps! I'm a programmer, I would like to use these headphones in an open office environment with low volume and "pass through" always on to be able to hear and speak to my team mates. Would this be possible? My first option was the surface 2 but I heard the pass thru mode was kind robotic and "underwater". Thanx for any advice!
Surface 2 works fine for us. :)
@@DHRME awesome, ty! the xm4 also have an "attention" mode that can be left as always on? every review I checked they always mention that "cover the hear cup" or the new automated mode, so not sure if you can just toggle it and leave it on
@@zabu1458 Yup. You can leave it on ambient mode all the time.
@@DHRME nice! thank you guys! gonna give it a try. hopefully with music at low enough volume people won't have to throw coffee mugs at me to ask me something ;)
The Bose 700 have the best "pass thru" audio, it is the most natural ambient sound of any of the ANC wireless headsets that I own. I prefer the overall sound of the MK4 but I use my Bose 700 when mic and ambient noise quality matters the most (in an office setting), and the MK4 when I want that nice punchy sound (music and movies), on the go.
Hold on! Codec was something else. It is basically encrypts and decrypts music files. No?
Encodes and decodes. Hence codec for short. Encryption is another thing entirely.
Oh yeah. Right. But it does not mean that it connects the device with the headphones. Codecs where there long before wireless music.
The guy has a bigger beard in every video
Someday i want to be a fuk-man as well xD
Hi, anybody using wh-1000xm4 headphones with Vmware Horizont Client? I have issues with loosing sound when start conference call in virtual desktop...
Worth the buy not the upgrade
The xm3 earbuds is way better than xm3 headphones imo.
I can recommend Xm4 , the only Doctor may be haa
