The XM4s have a red LED. I love the sound and noise cancelling of these headphones, but it's true the UX is clunky.

  > The XM4s have a red LED. That's most certainly a massive improvement. It's great hardware, they are so close to have the perfect product, but they are ruining it with these small annoying things. Get rid of the loud voice, of the bright led and of the tactile interface that both hard to use and triggers at inappropriate times and I'm sold!

    That touch interface is awful. I've had an XM3 for several years and it's an amazing pair of headphones but I can't even count how many times I had pauses, skips or other interactions because I was stretching my neck or arms and accidentally touched the can.

      Try laying in your bed on your back during a warm night or right after a shower, and then turning your head, putting the touch interface on your wet pillow.

      I have disabled basically all extra features. Touch interface, the sensor to auto pause, two-device pairing... It could have worked well, like Airpods do, but it doesn't. If my phone rings and I remove my airpods and answer holding my phone to my head, I expect the sound to come out of the phone. But the Sonys just stole the phone audio even if they were not on my ears at that moment.
