Review on Enhance Your Audio Experience with Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones and Knox Gear Mount Bundle by Stanislaw Kobylka (S ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I expected mediocre quality, but it was a pleasant surprise.

It's the sound that's the most open to interpretation. In particular, the price tag. The headphones' stage is quite good; it's close to the reference one, in my opinion, because the instruments aren't piled on top of each other and the musicians aren't spread out over a football field. I found the mids to be satisfyingly detailed, and the lows to be suitably deep and resonant without trying to drown out the rest of the spectrum. There is, however, a subset of the spectrum designated as "high frequency" (HF). which, stupidly, these soneks don't have. In some pieces/songs, the instrumental is scarcely audible at all, and in others, it disintegrates into chaos. How Sony managed to screw up their flagship product for the m market is beyond me. However, in this community, importance is subjective. However, I use the headphones primarily while I am not at home, such as on the train, during lunch at work, etc., therefore I am willing to put up with this and still think the headphones and their sound are excellent. If I'm in a quiet apartment and I want to listen to music, I have a player that's worth the cost of these Sonya just for the two plugs I have for it (fittings and dynamos of 10k, each with a very different sound, and a full-sized sony 1am2 for the average). It seems pointless to try to explain the little differences in tone. Since I currently have a modest but high-quality headphone collection, the 1000xm4 are an excellent choice for me. However, they are driven, there is no noise cancellation, no ambient mode, and no microphones. Subway travel, in particular, is made more difficult by the need to employ such a configuration. The gamer, who consumes food like cattle, must be regularly refueled in order to play for 8-10 hours straight. Plus, you can use 1000xm4 whenever and anywhere you like. You will probably appreciate their sound, even very much so, if you are not accustomed to "expensive" sound, costly players, wired ears from ten thousand dollars or more, and a constant with the hunt for music in lossless.

Pros
  • Shumodav is a gun. Great for the subway! During conversations, the high quality of the microphones and algorithms becomes apparent. The software has a ton of customization options. The vast majority are largely useless, but the fact that everything from volume to shutter speed can be modified to your liking is certainly welcome. Despite my skepticism, this design actually seems quite cozy. When it comes to full sizes, I can barely last an hour in them. I have sat quietly with these for up to three hours without issue; I haven't tried for longer, but I have no doubts. By the way, the extensive hours of operation are particularly noteworthy. Not a world record by any stretch, but plenty for everyday convenience. It also has a stylish carrying case. Quite dense. It's true that when the headband is fully extended, there isn't enough room for the headphones. In any case, silver is a dull color; in reality, it's a beige-gray that leans more toward one or the other depending on the illumination. It looks much better in person, and I think this is a better choice than black because sweat marks on the ear pads are less evident after extended use, and fingerprints are hard to see on the case. It's not often that I compliment a pair of headphones on their hue.
Cons
  • The street sound frequently cuts out while using LDAC and the quality option in the app (there is also a more steady connection method). It varies from place to place, but occasionally the lag is so bad that you're certain to die every few seconds. This is especially true if your phone is in your back pocket while your hands are toasty inside your jacket. Why, therefore, do we need this super codec if it only manages to transmit 990 kbps intermittently? From what I understand, it is capable of operating at speeds of 300, 600, and even 900 kbps. From what I can see, the application gives you a choice between a slow but very stable 300 kbps and a much slower 900 kbps connection. So, Sony, how do you make sense of this? Where can I find a middle ground between reliability and quality? If you're familiar with the capabilities of this codec, it's because you designed it. What. The touch interface works well but is awkward to use. However, the touch is delicate, making these headphones slightly less uncomfortable than others with a similar control scheme. If you take off your headphones while wearing a "fluffy" scarf or an item with a miive collar, hood, etc., the proximity sensor will trigger a game. This is magnified during the colder months. It makes sense, but if you want to know the truth, examine this. The headphones will continuously pause and play.
