What's a 10/10 product you'll recommend forever?

Sony WH-1000XM4. They came out with a model after that one that sometimes sucks, but the WH-1000XM4 is awesome. Excellent active noise cancellation that lowers volumes more than those high quality earplugs, paired with very good frequency response. Edit: apparently the XM5s sometimes don't suck. I d

What's a 10/10 product you'll recommend forever?

Sony WH-1000XM4 is so good, I wore out ear pads twice. Easily the best noise cancelling I've had. Bose 35 II are good but those Sony's beat em.

Reklamasjon hodetelefoner (Sony)

Dette er jo ett utbredt problem på Sony WH1000XM4 og XM5 (ser ut som XM6 også har tendenser til samme problem men ikke sett noen faktisk knekte enda), her burde du klage mer, evt se om Sony kundestøtte kan hjelpe deg med en RMA.

I Chose an Adults-Only Vacation. The Airports Didn't Get the Memo

Noise cancelling headphones is where is at! I have the sonic WH-1000XM4 headset and the AirPods Pro and I can have a screaming infant, a yapping chihuahua, or the next French Revolution next to me and all I’m hearing is either nothing or the audiobook I have on.

Memă pentru ăia de aici care lucrează

Ultima versiune a unei soluții pe care am găsit-o cu ani în urmă: pernă de voiaj și căști cu izolare fonică. Edit: Cupa căștilor intră în spațiul creat de pernă, iar deschizătura de sus permite punții de susținere să se așeze. E fix pentru dormit pe o parte. De notat, perna este înaltă, dintr-un mat

Audio quality over Bluetooth surprised me!

Sony WH-1000XM4 has been a headphone I've been using daily since 2021.

Im not surprised the headphone sounds good, but I am surprised that over bluetooth with 320kbs MP3 files still sounding amazing!.

I was expecting a mediocre bluetooth chip, but for what it is, its actually pretty good!. Don't
