Hey I'm JR, and i'm here today with the
brand-new
Sony WH-1000XM4
wireless Bluetooth noise-canceling
headphones.
If you've paid attention at all to the
world of headphones, you're familiar with
the Sony XM2s and the XM3s.
These are some of our best-selling,
best-sounding, and most
comfortable headphones of their type. 
The XM4
simply takes it up another notch. They've
made some subtle improvements, but no
major changes, so if you already like
these headphones you're gonna like the
new ones even more.
For example, they are more comfortable.
Somehow, they made these already very
comfortable headphones even more
comfortable.
They feel a little bit lighter, they
don't clamp too tight, they don't feel
too loose, they seem to fit right
in that sweet spot, and everybody agrees
they're even more comfortable
than before. The noise cancellation is
also even better. We've had several
people take these home and use them.
Jeff, our headphone guy, even reported
that with his dishwasher running at full
steam in his kitchen and him sitting
right there next to it
he couldn't hear the dishwasher at all.
The noise cancellation:
better than ever. And the battery on the
XM4s is great. You're going to get about
30
hours of battery life. That's a lot of
workouts and a lot of music listening
between charges. They've even added a
little bit more bass to the headphones.
So they already sounded great,
now they sound even more rich and full.
They're using the same QN1 processor in
the new XM4s that they used in the XM3,
but they've applied some new math, some
new algorithms to it so that it takes
music and makes it sound even more 
open and spacious.
For example, the new DSEE Extreme
technology, they've used that with
in collaboration with Sony Music to take
compressed music files and make them
sound
wide open and crystal clear for you.
So they sound better than ever.
Most of what you know and love about the
XM3s remains true for the XM4s. There's a
hard button on the bottom so that you
can use that to control
ambient mode or noise cancelling, and if
you
go into the app you can make some
adjustments there so that that button
will also
launch either Alexa or Google so that
you can use your voice assistant with
your phone while your bluetooth is paired
to the headphones. The soft touch
controls on the ear pad are still there,
which means you can advance
track or backtrack, volume up, volume down,
or play or pause your music
right from a light touch on the ear cup.
You can also put your hand
over an ear cup and turn noise
cancellation off, so if you want to hear
your surroundings
it's very, very easy to do that. You
should also download
Sony's Headphones Connect app, which
gives you a lot more control
of the headphones. For example, you can
customize the sound so if it's too much
bass or not enough bass, you can adjust
that
right there in the app. You can adjust
the level of noise canceling,
you can also take advantage of Sony's
personalized 360-degree Reality Audio
experience. I got to actually check that
out
at CES 2020, and the experience was
fantastic. It really puts you sort of
in the room, so that you feel like you're
surrounded by the musicians as they're
recording the music.
And it really works, and with the app it
actually personalizes that experience
for your head and your headphones. So I
definitely recommend
using that with the headphone app.
There's even a barometric pressure
optimizer, which detects whether or not
you are on a plane
up in the air, and it adjusts the noise
cancellation
specifically for your environment. With
the headphones connected to the app, it
even knows if you're running,
standing still, walking, or riding in a
car and it can adjust the sound for the
different environments and the different
uses you might have for your headphones.
Long story short, the brand-new
WH-1000XM4 headphones from Sony are
even better than their predecessors, and
these were already some of our
best-selling,
most comfortable, best-sounding
headphones
in the wireless Bluetooth noise
canceling category. So
we're pretty excited to have the brand
new version here. We think you'll like
them as well.
