Please remove Sony XM4 from the list and replace it with Sony WH-H900N. I don’t really understand how can you mention XM4 when you clearly mention in your comparison that the H900N is better.
XM4 (by RTINGS) The Sony WH-1000XM4 have okay bass accuracy. The response is boosted, resulting in an intense thump, punch, and boom that’s suitable for genres like EDM and hip-hop. In songs like ‘King Kunta’ by Kendrick Lamar, the boosted low-bass makes the mix overly rumbly and boomy, which muddies the vocals in the chorus.
H900N (by RTINGS) The Sony H900N have an excellent bass. LFE (low-frequency extension) is at 10Hz, which is great. Low-bass, responsible for the thump and rumble common to bass-heavy music, mid-bass responsible for punch, and high-bass responsible for warmth are all within 1.5dB of our neutral target. Overall, the bass of the Sony is deep, well-balanced, and punchy, without sounding boomy or muddy.
I had both. Had it because I’m returning the XM4 because it’s unenjoyable after the H900N. Mainly the bass, but overall.
