Review on 🎧 Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise-Canceling Wireless Headphones with Alexa & Mic, Blue by Janis Endzelins ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

The remaining five out of five features are as follows: an internal Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa (via a user-programmable button); the ability to call Siri (via a long press on the right earpiece); and full control via the right earcup (via which you can adjust the volume, skip tracks, answer calls, disable the speak-to-chat function (via holding two fingers on the right earcup), activate transparency mode (via covering the entire right earcup with your palm), and change the language of your headphones that pause automatically when removed, power down after being idle for a set amount of time, enables us to estimate that the noise-cancelling mode's running life is about 20 hours (with some rounding down), which is obviously less than the advertised one but still a very good result, and I didn't even listen to them without noise-cancelling. Although I've wanted a pair of headphones from this series for a long time, recent events have necessitated a transition from Sony's Wireless Gold to the 1000xm4's superb sound on short, noisy walks and travels (yes, 2022). If you're on the fence about making a purchase, I hope my thoughts help!

Pros
  • Sound: 4.5/5 Excellent lows, solid mids, and occasionally savored treble. Function and style: a perfect 10 After using the Sennheiser hd 4.50, the difference in in-ear comfort and circumaural space is like night and day. Statistically Speaking, Technology is a 5/5 You may connect two Bluetooth devices at once, enjoy adaptive noise cancellation based on your location or route, and scale the quality of your sound with DSEE Extreme—all thanks to Bluetooth version 5. 4.8/5 Isolated from the rest of the technology, they are widely regarded as one of the most important aspects of today's mid- to high-tier (and, increasingly, entry-level) wireless headphones. This is because, unlike with cheaper models (like the Sennheiser HD 4.50), you won't experience any ear congestion while wearing them, and you also won't have any "split head" sensations—the closest number is 70%. You should also know that we do not hear sounds directly with the auricle, however we do feel some noises with our entire bodies; therefore, you need not resort to listening to music if you are able to find a quiet spot.
Cons
  • Those using Android devices may miss the Aptx HD codec, but those with Apple products may experience issues with simultaneous connections (perhaps due to a bug in Windows 10's Bluetooth-handling algorithms).
