Review on Wireless headphones Sony WH-1000XM4, silver by Stanisaw Chmielewski ᠌
A practical product, nothing to complain about.
In the reviews, many wrote about the regrets of the lack of the aptx codec compared to the 3rd model, that there is now a different converter, the 10th Windows sees only sbc and it, and does not support ldak and similar Windows (although they promised something in the 11th) and so on. So this makes no sense, Internet music mp3 often does not give out more than 320 kbps, or for a lot of money, on expensive subscriptions, but for this money you will go broke on flac and download and take "pioneers" for sound recording, and then, even a non-professional won't see the difference. The sbc standard somehow supports 1500 kbps, plus the buffer of the headphones themselves, minus the fact that it automatically cuts the quality in case of a bad connection (automatically restores and plan b: solved by rebooting one of the devices). On the street, with no noise reduction, you will not hear the quality of a studio, and again, only a super-profi cuts the ear with a placebo effect. The same 2 devices, when working simultaneously, use only sbc. So there is no point in paying a 360 subscription for some additional functions. if you want, take aux and listen. Read the difference with the 5th model and understand why the 4th is better. And aptx in the 3rd, stupidly due to the Qualcom processor in the receiver and the DAC, because this is a closed qualcom codec, not all devices support it so well, especially now and, again, this is the same sbc with slightly different frequencies and timings for communication with devices.
- Good sound. As a headset - they hear me both in the wind and when the hood rustles from above. It covers the whole ear, sits comfortably on the head, although in comparison with the mbr950bt, the upper arm is wider and the jambs are touched with high growth . Noise reduction works quite well in absolute mode. You can change noise reduction modes without an application, just by pressing a button. They fold very comfortably. I chose for a long time exactly between the 3rd and 4th models, the price was almost the same, I did not consider other companies, tk. small mileage in terms of characteristics, and the experience of mbr950bt, before which it replaced 3 generations of headphones, left a good impression. In the end, he was satisfied.
- I don't like attachments. I am a person who does not like the "environment of devices", tk. you are constantly tied to something and like paying money, buy only our devices, build an "ecosystem" and everything will be ok, and additional functions are also by subscription . Here they did it with support for adaptive noise reduction for external sounds (krivova works - then, then it's better to turn it on 100%) and with "super 3d sound", which simply uses a different codec that will only work with the same ecosystem devices (such as poppies, with their iTunes, Sony, etc.). Some functions are located in the application, while inconvenient. Noise reduction, although it works well, is safe (at least they write that way), gives good psychological peace (I lived near the airport, it was my dream), but my head aches, I feel pressure, as if I dived a couple of meters under the water, it is not felt right away , but that's the point. I sat without noise reduction for half a day, it was normal, I quickly got used to the dimensions, the convenience of the bends of the ears helps to open one when talking with someone in parallel (although there is such a function, but typing the 3rd with both hands is inconvenient to close the ear). Oh yes, with noise canceling you can’t even hear the call, this is rather a plus, but you can’t be on duty in them. Regarding the connection of two devices: it is logical that you can only speak through one of them, however, for some reason, inside one device (game + discord), it does not output the sound of the game and the disc at the same time (although in the settings it was indicated "do not press the sound in the game when talking and in Windows, this is also worth it, "other headphones do not do this), but it can also be a jamb of Windows or my settings. I'm very afraid for the fasteners, because, from experience, I know that this is the most common thing that breaks after a year or two .
