Sony WH-1000XM4, the king of ANC Bluetooth headphones

Headphones are an improvement over the originals in almost all areas

Sony WH-1000XM4 premium ANC headphones.

I remember reviewing the original Sony MDR-1000X headphones in 2017 and being so impressed that I bought a pair for myself after I returned my review unit. The only real competitor for my money at the time with great sound quality and ANC (active noise cancellation) were the Bose QC35s.

I didn’t get the opportunity to review the successors to the original headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM2 or WH-1000M3, but I think most people who are considering the XM4s are like me who have used and loved the originals, but now feel it’s time for an upgrade.
