Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Premium Noise Canceling Overhead Headphones with Mic for Phone-Call and Alexa Voice Control, Black WH1000XM4

Easily a great upgrade from the airport pros. Has great bass and sound quality and the noise cancelation is great but I dont know if I could confidently say its better than my airport pros

MORE UPDATE: I can now hear my phones notification sounds. I am not sure if it is the latest firmware update or getting a new phone but it works so I am happy. Also, now the Google Assistant button works when I am listening to music on my PC. It looks like all of my original issues are resolved. These are now my go to headphones for personal use. I still use my Plantronics for work since it has a mute button. I have updated my review to 5 stars. If the next version has a mute button, I can ditch all my other headphones since these sound great and have better noise cancellation than any of my other headphones.

The sound quality, the noise cancelling, the comfort... The best headphone Ive ever used.

Excellent sound quality, noise cancellation, thick bass, comfortable, long battery life, and usb c charging. Cant get much better than this. Only thing that will be better is the next generation of these.

Bluetooth is sometimes problematic especially when two sources are connected...

This is all I can say! Taking this headphones with me made my flight so much smoother.

Ive been using Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 for the last 2 years for Zoom calls and occasional listening during the day, but the battery just doesnt cut it as my meeting load has increased.

As of about three years ago, I was an earbuds guy. The wireless over-hear headphones I had tried previously never could approximate the kind of audio immersion you get when you wedge little speakers directly into your ear canals. I never found over-hear headphone noise cancellation to work that well - often, turning it on would create more noise than it cancelled, compromising audio quality and, well, just sucking generally. Not to mention the inconsistent and typically non-intuitive affordances for powering on/off, pairing, and controlling playback on these things.

Unfortunately I had to return these after a much anticipated delivery. The noise cancelation gave me a headache, they did not stay on my head very well and when I received phone calls any noise around me seemed to be picked up in the mic and made it difficult for the caller to hear me. As for the actual sound quality it was great.

How good could they really be... thats what Ive been asking myself for a year now while I was debating to get them(1000XM3 then). I have a Great pair of Jabra ear buds that I use and have with me at all times. I finally decided to Treat Yo Self but figuring Id probably not use these headphones that much. Boy was I wrong! Sound is Absoltly Top Shelf. Super comfortable(noticed face mask strap behind the ear is way more uncomfortable, but to be expected). They get very loud, and I like my tunes loud(I never have it at 100%). I really notice percussion interments the most through these gems. It has a real surround sound to them... Top Left, Behind Right and so on. Only thing if I had to nitpick Id have to say sometimes I notice that it doesnt prioritize device one when I turn on the second device... but easily fixed through app. Also answering phone calls, it doesnt always connect to headphones and have to use the phone to connect them(figured it out, a double tap of the right headphone). All in all well worth it and highly recommend to all types of music lovers!
