Sony WH-1000XM4 | Why You Should STILL Buy Them 4 Years Later!

I just realized I kept calling the Sony WH1000XM4 the "Sony WH1000MX4" but hopefully y'all can forgive my mild dyslexia, and know what I meant 😂 😅

In this video, we'll take a look at whether or not the Sony WH1000XM4 is still worth it in 2024.

As headphones go, the Sony WH1000XM4 is among the best on the market. But is that still the case a few years down the line? With the new XM5 now a year old and the XM6 probably coming out in the next year or so, are the XM4's still a good buy? In this video, we'll take a look at how they are holding up after 2.5 years of personal use and see if they still merit a spot on your wish list or shopping list.

Let me know if you are still interested in these headphones.

I got them 5 days ago as a gift for myself, I’m gonna unboxing them tonight cause today is my birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉

[pillepolle]

I bought the xm5 yesterday with black friday sale and i returned it and I bought the MX 4 instead. I love the female voice from my xm2 but the xm5 dont have this voice any more but the xm4 does have this voice in high quality. The headband is better, the build is more premium of the xm4 because they still have metallic elements. Somehow i still love the heavy feel from the xm2 and the tight fit around my ears but the headband is really soft and my head hurts after a while so it was time to upgrade from my xm2.

Great review. You touch on important stuff. Just got them today for $200 brand new. Looking forward to using them.

Thx for review! Few days ago bought them at 199€ in Portugal. Enjoying them a lot!

I got a pair of xm4’s for $120 on Facebook marketplace and I absolutely love them!! I’m hoping to have them until they release xm6’s and drop price of xm5 or maybe will consider xm6 if it’s majorly different. Thanks for this review!

These are incredible headphones. They were a lifesaver during a loud flight, the noise cancellation is fantastic. The ability to use an EQ and tweak the settings to your preference and then have it save to your headphones to carry over to any other device you connect to is great as well. I've had mine since 2021 and they've been what a reach for whenever I'm on my laptop, listening to music, or traveling. They padding has held up well along with the battery life, and they're still really comfortable to wear! If you have the money to spend and treat yourself, these are worth it 🙂

2024. Just purchased these at $274. I'm a bose girl. Never used anything else but bose until now. I received many complaints about not hearing me on the phone with bose Headsets so I needed to get one that works great for phone calls and watching movies / music . This is my second day having them. Almost returned them yesterday because they kept disconnecting ever 5 min during a movie was really annoying and I had already turned off the sensor . It continued to this issue this morning on my way to work so I decided to reset to factory. I bought it brand new but sometimes, the items still needs to perform factory reset. I LOVE thelight weight, noise cancellation and rhe sound options. The rest like options for auto detection should be removed . It's annoying when companies strive to think for us and know whats best so they auto change things. Anyways, your review also helped ty and subscribed. ❤

Just ordered these for 239€ after having used my HyperX Cloud Flight for 5.5 years. Never used ANC so that's exciting. I also like the many controls on the headphones themselves. Ty for the review and opinion

Bought XM5 for my wife. She’s blown away!

Thanks for the review! Just bought a used pair for 60usd

Note: If you want to connect a Bluetooth transmitter (on a flight) don't try and use the XM4 app to do it. First turn the Bluetooth off on your phone. Turn the Bluetooth transmitter/Receiver on making sure you have it set to TX mode first. When your Bluetooth transmitter flashes to pair only then power on your headphones and continue to hold the power button until it says pairing. After it completes pairing you can then turn the Bluetooth on on your phone so you can use the XM4 app to change any functions you want to change.

I bought these last week at Best Buy for $199 brand new. I love them!

[ProdINSNXEGHXST]

Getting these for my birthday on the 9th next month. Can’t wait to hear the sound quality

[MurrayWhite]

I got the xm4s the week they were released. Magnificent bluetooth headphones when out and about, at the time, they access to Tidal's 360 catalogue (which is now discontinued). Used with Android Poweramp using its parametric equaliser settings to further enhance the sound.

The LDAC connection is a treat. They are still as good as they day I bought them and see no reason to replace them at this stage. The XM5s were from a music point of view just slightly weaker than the XM4s. The benefit was improved noise cancellation.

For the best sound, my corded sennheisers HD660s2 and XLR connected HD820 are the workhorses.

just bought the xm4 waiting for them to arrive for £180 with student discount!

[aquafina]

I just got mx4’s today after buying headphones after headphones to fit my big head. First impressions, absolutely amazing, fits my head, great quality and the noise cancellation is phenomenal. Will stop buying headphones now lol, hopefully they last.

I had wh710n for 2 years and that were the best headphones I’ve ever had. Noise cancelation and sound were really great but cheap plastic that they made of was terrible. Now I think its time for an update so i purchased wh1000xm4 as a birthday gift for myself. I hope they will be as great as everyone is saying

[brimmo]

Just picked this brand new at target for under $140 after tax! Let's go!!!!

[Gamerboykididk]

Always wanted these headphones since they first released. So i might get it for my birthday 😂
