We replaced them with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23067645\/sony-wh-1000xm5-noise-canceling-headphones-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">XM5<\/a>, followed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/hands-on\/667017\/sony-wh-1000xm6-hands-on\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">XM6<\/a> three years later, but the last-last-gen model is still a solid pick in 2025. The XM4 offer great sound quality, up to 30 hours of battery life, and terrific active noise cancellation, even if the ANC can\u2019t quite compete with Sony\u2019s newer models. They support multipoint connectivity, allowing you to pair them with two devices simultaneously, along with great voice call performance. They also feature a handy Speak to Chat feature, which can automatically pause your audio when you start speaking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Additionally, the XM4 support wear detection, meaning they will automatically pause whatever is playing when you remove them from your head and resume playback when you put them back on. And unlike the last-gen XM5, the comfortable headphones fold when not in use, making it relatively easy to slide them into your bag.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">As for what you miss out on by opting for the XM4 over the XM6, Sony\u2019s latest model offers improved sound quality, more powerful ANC, and even clearer voice calls. You can also charge the XM6 while listening to them, though you\u2019ll need to juggle two cables \u2014 a USB-C and a 3.5mm \u2014 since they don\u2019t support audio over USB-C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than five years after making their debut, Sony\u2019s WH-1000XM4 remain an excellent pair of noise-canceling headphones.
