Were the mics in the xm4 being used for that call audio?

[@cassarNOVA19]

this is a great question, if the answer is yes. I would be more than content with that quality

[@adrianmorrish8494]

@@cassarNOVA19 I’d like to know that as well because the sound esp as most of my work calls are VOIP are absolutely fine, not as good as my Bose 700 in clarity, but tonal quality was warmer and I actually prefer the sound.

Aaron I am sending my Bose back after 4 replacements for battery issues, unable to upgrade firmware (latest issue), the call quality is exceptional for my work but 95% of the time I am in a indoor quite environment or in a normal office or on a train. I don’t make calls in cafes with a riot in progress. Would you consider now that the call quality is good enough for using for hours of work calls? The sound is better on the Sony’s, they can now pair to my iPhone and MacBook Pro at the same time and they are by all accounts a lot more comfy for 7 plus hrs of phone calls. Other option is the Sennheisers of course. Any advice, emotionally I am drawn to the Sony’s?

I've used the Sennheiser momentum 3. If those are the ones you're asking for here... they are great headphones in terms of sound quality. If you like bass and don't mind listening to music at loud volumes, then they are almost perfect. Deep bass that likes to rumble and resonate, highs that never het shrill and an intimate sound stage. Not very wide or expansive. But poor battery life, leather pads that slide off the head quite easily. Those are the only complaints. Sound wise they're the best headphones among all ANC ones.

@@nipunsharma5351 I tried a pair for a couple weeks and I loved them, I eventually went with the Sony’s but I often wonder if I did the right thing, it was very close. When the next version come out I will be taking a very hard and long look and a pair of Sony XM4’s may appear on eBay.
