Review on Wireless headphones Sony WH-1000XM4, silver by Jnis ubars ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

Many reviewers expressed disappointment that the aptx codec was not included, that a new converter had to be implemented, that Windows 10 recognized only sbc and it, and did not support ldak and similar formats (although support was promised for Windows 11), and so on. Therefore, it makes no sense that, for the same amount of money, you would go broke on flac and download and take "pioneers" for sound recording, when even a non-professional won't be able to tell the difference between the two formats. The sbc standard allows for up to 1500 kbps of data transfer, not including the buffer of the headphones themselves. However, the quality is automatically reduced in the event of a poor connection and is not restored until one of the devices is rebooted. Without proper noise cancellation, music recorded in a studio simply cannot compete with what can be heard on the street. When used concurrently, the same two devices only employ sbc. Therefore, there is no point in purchasing a 360 subscription in order to access a few extra features. You can listen with the aux if you like. Learn why the fourth model is superior by reading the comparison to the fifth. And aptx in the third, foolishly owing to the Qualcom processor in the receiver and the DAC; being a closed qualcom codec, not all devices support it particularly well, especially currently; and, again, this is the same sbc with slightly different frequencies and timings for communication with devices.

Pros
  • Strong acoustics. As a headset, it allows them to hear me regardless of whether the hood is up or down. Even though the upper arm is wider and the jambs are touched with rapid growth compared to the mbr950bt, it still covers the entire ear and sits well on the head. In absolute mode, noise reduction is effective. Simply pushing a button toggles between several noise-reduction settings without the need for an app. They fold up quite easily and snugly. I debated for quite some time between the third and fourth models; the prices were nearly identical; I didn't give any thought to other brands; and the mbr950bt's impressive track record in replacing three successive generations of headphones left a favorable impression. Ultimately, he felt content.
Cons
  • Relationship commitments bother me. I am not a fan of the "environment of devices," wherein you are expected to buy just our products in order to create a working "ecosystem," and to pay for access to any further features. Support for adaptive noise reduction for environmental sounds (krivova works - then, then it's better to turn it on 100%) and "super 3d sound" (simply a different codec that will only work with the same ecosystem devices; think poppies and their iTunes, Sony, etc.) are how they accomplished this. While it may be cumbersome, several features of the application can be found within. I used to live near the airport—it was my dream—so I know that noise reduction is effective and safe (at least in the way they write it), but now my head hurts and I feel pressure, as if I had just dove a few meters below the surface of the ocean. In spite of the existence of a noise-cancelling feature, I found that going without it for half a day was perfectly fine, that the dimensions were comfortable, and that the earcups' sloping designs made it easy to keep one ear open while conversing with a colleague in parallel. You can't take calls while wearing noise-cancelling headphones, which is a perk but not a requirement for duty. When using a splitter to connect two devices, it stands to reason that only one can be used for voice communication. However, for some reason, when using a splitter to connect a game and Discord, the game's audio is not output while Discord's is (even though the settings indicated "do not press the sound in the game when talking and in Windows, this is also worth it, "other headphones do not do this). The fasteners have me worried because, in my experience, they are the first to give out after a year or two.
