Review on π§ Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise-Canceling Wireless Headphones with Alexa & Mic, Blue by Somchai Promsombat α
A good product, I advise you to try it.
In general, a very ambiguous perception of the goods for such money. Shumka crushes technogenic noises (airplane, distant sound of a perforator, noise of pipes, sound of flowing water, traffic noise). Silencing a voice is much worse - it also depends on the voice. Sound . well, in some places it's unexpectedly good. Some details are drawn almost perfectly. In other compositions, it really hurts. The hole at the beginning of the high-frequency range just kills some tracks. You sit and clearly understand that the melody becomes just flat. The bass seems to be juicy, but slips on complex combinations. If the composition combines the upper part of the middle range and the upper bass, then the bass will be blurred, and this is with good separation of the instruments. At this moment, there is a feeling that the speaker cannot fill the internal volume of the cup, and the sound seems to be smeared in space. The pressure disappears. A feeling of some emptiness. Poorly cope with the rendering of sound on its "fall". For example, if you take something like Monoplay - Gotta Go - you can really feel the loss of bass guitar detail. Those. the increase in pressure is going well, but the rebound of the string is generally blurred and you no longer feel this vibration of the string and its metal. Bass becomes as if electronic impersonal (in comparison, for example, with audio technica m50x - there, of course, there is a wire, there is no noise and it is tactless to compare head-on). Therefore, I would rate the sound at 4-. But overall not bad. For example, compositions with bass reverb are transmitted unexpectedly well in places. And you are already completely confused, why in some places this blurring and emptiness arises. For me, the main difficulty is that even knowing the track, it is difficult to predict how he will play them. You listen to something and get very upset, in other tracks you are surprised unexpectedly by the drawing and clarity of the instruments.
- The same smell when unpacking :) The sound is hard to describe. Definitely not ideal for the money. The tools are well spaced. There is volume. A number of compositions surprises with clarity. High drummers are well heard - a clear rebound on the barrels and attenuation of the cymbals. Long-lived from one charge - the wave is enough not to bathe in a couple of flights across our country, even if you forgot to charge it to full. Landing on the head for comfort is better than many.
- Noise canceling is overrated. I would even say that it is very, very overrated. At the maximum degree of ANC, white noise and pressure are very audible to me. When listening to classical compositions and not only at the end, noise is heard. The problem is removed by adding 1 degree of sound transparency. Noise canceling does not muffle the cries of cats and children in almost no way. Therefore, if you take headphones for sleeping on an airplane when flying with children, donβt get your hopes up. But ANC plus music at half the volume already removes and such noises are quite acceptable.
