Review on Wireless headphones Sony WH-1000XM4, silver by Adam Listopad ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

My first wireless headphones, with a regular bluetooth dongle, keeps a good connection over the entire 50 m2 kopeck piece, and taking into account the strong noise at 2.4 Ghz frequency due to Wifi neighbors. At first, the headphones will create a feeling of terrible pressure and vacuum, up to tangible discomfort. Over time, you get used to it and it becomes normal. Noise canceling accurately dampens 90% of stable noise (street, work of some kind of equipment). He misses speech and momentary sounds, slightly weakening. But this seems to be the principle of operation common to all noise cancellers. A 100% charge is enough for me for the whole day (from 8 am to midnight) with the noise reduction turned to the maximum, about 2/3 of the time something sounds in them (music, video, phone calls). Sound-wise, I don't consider myself an audiophile, so I can't say anything smarter than "I like it" and "sounds great". After the old HyperX, the sound is felt better, more details are heard, the accents have changed. Fans of bass that can shake the brain can probably pass by, they are only noticeable here if you unscrew it to the maximum in the application, but IMHO it makes sense to do this only for specific music. In this case, it should be borne in mind that in order to change the settings back, you need to reconnect the headphones to the phone and change them in the application. I use 99% of the time with a computer with two systems (Win + Manjaro). It works well with both, but after changing the system, you have to pair the devices again each time. It may take some fiddling around with wood to make sure you're using LDAC, but nothing too complicated.

Pros
  • - Sound - Weight (the lightest over-ear headphones I've ever held) - Compactness - Noise reduction - Battery
Cons
  • - When charging is connected, it does not work via Bluetooth. You need to connect a separate audio cable. - Voice notifications about power on, charge level, etc. could be faster/shorter - Pause/Resume media does not always work correctly when removing headphones. In any case, when communicating with a PC - When you turn on the mode of operation with 2 devices, it does not allow you to switch the sound quality to high. And not at a high level of quality is better not to hear them, for the sake of your own ears. - Microphone. It's better to think that it doesn't exist. Don't make people on the other side of the call suffer.
