Pros
I've had a Bose QC35 for over 4 years now, and the new Sony WH-1000MX4s are just about as perfect as can be. Mind you, I was an extremely devoted Bose fan, but seeing how they've been staying complacent, the competition has finally caught up and exceeded Bose in many aspects.
The Sony trumps the Bose QC35 easily in terms of sound quality: the bass is more defined, more dynamic, and sub-bass levels are much higher quality than my Bose QC35s. The treble sounds much more natural and airy, whereas the Bose QC35s sound very synthetic in this regard - this is coming from a guy who's had the QC35 for 4+years and listened to hundreds if not thousands of hours of music on the QC35s.
If I had to rate the sound quality:
Bose QC35 (6.5/10)
Sony WH-1000XM4 (9/10)
You will not be disappointed by the sound of the Sonys, this I can guarantee.
In terms of noise cancelling, the Sony's NC is probably even better than the Bose. It feels natural and not "aggressive" like the Bose's noise cancelling, and mid to high frequency noises are much better attenuated. Whilst I have not been on airplane travel (for obvious reasons), currently I feel like the noise cancelling performance of the Sony's is slightly better than the Bose.
Rating of noise cancellation:
Bose QC35 (9/10)
Sony WH-1000XM4 (9.5/10)
Features and flexibility. Sony win this easy. With the dedicated Sony headphone app (available on iOS and Android), the amount of settings and flexibility the WH-1000XM4s can offer is astounding. You can calibrate the Sonys for your head shape, equalise the sound, and many more features to adjust within the app.
Bose, on the other hand, keeps it real simple, with no real way to customise your headphones. Simplicity is good, but the way Sony allows the user to adjust the settings of their headphones without overloading you with options is far superior.
Features/app:
Bose QC35 (2/10)
Sony WH-1000XM4 (9/10)
Now clearly I haven't included the newer Bose NC700s (because I don't own them nor do I plan to based on user reviews), but I have spent countless hours and years enjoying music with the Bose QC35s. I can safely say that Sony has overtaken Bose in the wireless noise cancelling headphone department.
If you are looking for a new pair of noise cancelling headphones, go for the Sony WH-1000XM4s. You will be extremely impressed and will not regret your purchase.
Cons
I currently own a pair of cracked XM1's held together by tape so have been eagerly awaiting the XM4's given I do a lot of web conferencing, and the mic on the XM3's wasn't going to cut it.
On the plus side, the noise-cancellation is good, as you'd expect. They're also comfortable to wear and the sound quality when listening to music is great, but that mic! Despite all the hype and promise, I tested the mic on Skype, Zoom and Hangouts, and the performance was poor across the board. Really disappointing and a deal-breaker for me so they've been returned.
So now it's back to taping up my XM1's to make them last a bit longer until Bose hopefully gets their act together and deliver a reliable solution.
It was also sneaky and somewhat misleading imo to combine the much-loved XM3 listing with the XM4's soon after launch and combine the ratings. Buyer beware!
