When I moved, I misplaced both the receipt and the box for my last pair of headphones, the AKG 361BT, which I loved overall but one of the earpieces on the right side quit working after only two months. I don't know what happened to them; I probably tossed them away. As a result, I came to the conclusion that I should not be frugal while purchasing anything beneficial that will be dependable and of excellent quality. The conclusion was that the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones were the best option overall, despite the fact that they do not excel in every category. To begin, a little about thecomns. I was extremely dissatisfied with the sound, or more specifically the frequency balance. The sound is similar to that of an inexpensive Chinese headset, and the whistling and hissing sounds are unpleasant to the ears. There was nothing like this in the AKG 361BT. I located a frequency response diagram online, and after looking at it, I set up an equalizer in a proprietary application. After that, the sound improved; it was still not exceptional, but it was pleasing. The second minute is at a low maximum volume, and once again, my AKGs perform better than them. During this minute, the phone clogs the Sony headphones twice, but there is no trace of clogging in the AKG headphones. It seems that this is the end of the negatives. Coming from the experts. Incredible level of clarity, excellent scene, and volume (with an adjuster integrated right there). Noise reduction is effective even when music is not being played; for instance, if you want to sit in silence but don't want to listen to music, you can put on your headphones and read a book, or you may just lie down. There is a built-in proprietary high-resolution LDACcomdec, which is a questionable feature in general; nevertheless, the sound quality of AKG files encoded using AAC is excellent, whereas Sony files can only be encoded with LDAC. They have some other good touches, such as a comfortable fit on the head, an automatic pause in playback when the headphones are removed, and so on. As a consequence of this, I strongly advise tweaking the equalization, as the sound first pierces the ears and detracts from the overall impression of the headphones. Do not utilize the dual device connection option if you place a high priority on sound quality because the only codec that will operate in this mode is the AAC codec. With the exception of the equalizer, turning on any enhancer or noise reduction will result in a degradation of the sound quality. As an illustration, the noise reduction is turned off, you turn on some of your favorite songs, and then you turn on the noise reduction while listening. You notice that the mids have increased, while the deep elastic bass has become a hazy thump. The ratio by which I evaluate the sound quality of headphones when turned up to their maximum volume
