XM4's ANC still works when plugged in to the 3.5mm auxiliary jack.

Community Reviews

Sony WH 1000XM4 is a strong over ear noise canceling headphone with standout ANC, solid sound, and long battery life. The noise cancellation is especially effective on airplanes, for fan noise, speech, treadmill use, and even while plugged into the 3.5 millimeter jack. Sound is often described as full and fun, and the app adds useful control options, including turning touch controls off. Comfort is good for many heads and can hold up for long sessions, though the touch controls can be finicky and some find the fit snug or tiring after a few hours. Build durability appears uneven, but long term use has also held up well for others.

  • XM4 can provide outstanding airplane noise cancelling while remaining comfortable for long wear.

    luminousasmd

  • XM4 can keep strong all-day performance over years, with battery still holding up for long-term use.

  • XM4 ANC can continue working when the headphones are plugged into a 3.5mm auxiliary jack.

    sloddo

  • XM4 can deliver slightly better sound quality and noise reduction than Bose NC700 in direct comparison.

    kh2841

  • XM4 touch controls can be unintuitive and overly sensitive, with jacket brushing triggering actions.

    gilzow

  • XM4 comfort can drop after about 2-3 hours, requiring breaks during longer flights.

    gilzow

  • XM4 build quality can be poor, with units reportedly starting to break apart after about a year.

    Taivn

  • XM4 ear cups can eventually rip after heavy sweaty outdoor use, with multiple replacement sets reported.

This or Bose QuietComfort for $169?

The internet seem to be divided. Any personal nuggets?

If Best Buy matches, the PayPal 20% back can take it down to a hair more than the all time low

I have Bose nc700 and XM4 . XM4 has slightly better sound quality and noise reduction. NC700's touch control is more convenient.

So, I already purchased the Bose QC from Costco. It indeed is comfortable to wear.
I did notice the ANC to be slight letdown in comparison in two fronts:

1. ANC not as strong as XM5 that I tested at the store (no XM4s at store to compare)

2. ANC on BoseQC creates a weird high altitude pressure type feeling which I do not like. I don't remember that with XM5.

I can also say I wear my xm3 and xm4 at least 8 hours a day M-F for over 5 years and have never felt discomfort. I forget they're on.

Exactly. Amazon is trying to squeeze people in this economy for an old product. Good headphones though.

I have these. The ANC and battery life are exceptional. Two things I do not like about them:
1. I absolutely hate the touch controls. They're not intuitive. Maybe if I wore them every day I could remember what motion triggers which action, but I only wear them when traveling. They're also simultaneously too sensitive and not sensitive enough. The hood of my jacket can brush them and trigger some action. But if I'm trying to do something, nothing I do seems to register with them.
2. I can wear them for 2-3 hours max before they become uncomfortable. For domestic travel in The States it's usually enough, but during longer flights I have to take them off and take a break.

I've used both extensively and prefer these over the Bose. The ANC seems a little better in my use and the sound is a little more full and fun in my opinion. It's not a massive difference and you'll be happy with either so I actually would recommend trying both on and picking whichever is more comfortable. These might feel a little on the snug side compared to the Bose if you have a big head.
