I got mine too. I’ve been using QC35 before this. There are somethings I like and some I don’t.
The Sony headphones app and general ease of connectivity is much better than Bose. No connection issues and great range. However I noticed that when you switch music from one device to the other, the music doesn’t start playing in the headphones straight away. It takes a good 3 to 4 seconds before you can hear the music. Not sure if it’s software issue or a problem with my unit.
In terms of comfort, QC35 was much better. My ears never touched the inside of the ear cups but they do on the XM4, so after 30 mins or so I have to take a breather.
I was expecting noise cancelling to be vastly better than QC35. Its maybe slightly better but there is a very distinct white noise that can be heard when no music is playing. It wasn’t so prominent in the QC35. On the bright side, you don’t get the cabin pressure effect with XM4 like you do on the QC35.
Sound quality is definitely better than QC35 and the EQ customisation is useful.
Another thing I noticed is when I tap and hold for Siri, it works fine on iPad but on iPhone, it will engage and disengage before you can say anything. I really wish the custom button would work with Siri but it seems it’s only for Google and Alexa.
