Should you buy it?
Skip the WH-1000XM4 at full price, because it's a 2020 model that Sony has since replaced twice with the XM5 and XM6. The XM4 still has strong ANC, LDAC, two-device multipoint, Speak-to-Chat and a folding design that the XM5 dropped. Battery fell short of Sony's 30-hour claim in one test, at 19 h 59 min with ANC on, though 10 minutes of charging gives about 5 hours. Buy it only used or deeply discounted.
Bargain hunters who find a used pair at a deep discount.
Anyone paying close to list price, since newer Sonys cost about the same.
