Battery life is rated at up to 30 hours at moderate volume levels - that's the same as what you get from the WH-1000XM4.Īmazon had the blue version on sale for $138 during a recent one-day flash sale. Also, this headphone now comes with a hard case like the WH-1000XM4. However, it does have a Quick Attention Mode that allows you to put your hand over the ear cup to go from noise canceling to an ambient-aware transparency mode. And the WH-XB910N doesn't have some of that model's extra features, such as Speak to Chat, wearing detection sensors and Sony's Precise Voice Pickup technology. While improved, the noise canceling isn't quite up to the level of the WH-1000XM4. It also supports Sony's LDAC audio codec. This updated version looks the same but offers improved noise canceling and multipoint Bluetooth pairing, so you can pair it with your phone and computer simultaneously.


I liked the previous version, the XB900N, and it was a decent deal when it went on sale for around $150. It's an Extra Bass model, so it does have a preponderance of bass. Best Sony WH-1000XM4 alternative for lessĪs for the WH-XB910N, this is the step-down model from the WH-1000XM4.
