Does ANC actually matter for sleep earbuds?
I bought the Bose SleepBuds II when I moved into an apartment complex undergoing renovation down to the studs, that would go on for another year. I moved on to the Ozlos in April 2024 as a KickStarter backer. I've never once missed having ANC in my sleepbuds, and I say that as someone who wears Bose

WH 1000XM4 touch control not working?
It just completely stopped working. The swipes, cover to talk, nothing works. Is it because its battery is low or is there some other reason?

Sony wh-1000xm4 noise after prolonged usage
I'm already on my second pair of Sony wh-1000xm4 headphones. I hoped that the first pair was broken but apparently the second pair has the same problem so I guess it's a structural problem. After prolonged listening sessions of more then 3 hours, the right ear cup starts to make a loud crackling/his

MTW4 is the best earbuds out there in the world. Prove me otherwise.
To be honest I have them because Sony messed up the firmware of the 1000xm4 (killing the battery). The ANC was better and the case is nicer to carry. Also I found the sound profile nicer.... And they were cheaper.

I "upgraded" from Sony WH-H900N to WH-1000XM4 Headphones. What am I missing?
The M4s were discounted and since I dont really care for the M5's Design I thought I'll treat myself to an upgrade. But besides the new convenient featrue (Multi-device support, proximity sensor and ambient sound control) they are worse in every way.
The sound is so much worse than the 900s. All th

WH-1000XM4: certainly disappointed
I am/was a heavy user of WH-1000XM3. Basically used them 8+ hours per day for several purposes. XM3 had several problems, biggest was quirky and extremely annoying one-sided white noise. That problem exists on some percentage of the headphones, that percentage apparently being less than 100%, since

Headphone recommendations?
Interestingly, I had the Sony WH-1000XM4 and liked a lot of things about them, but later bought the Bose QuietComfort because I had several stressful issues with the Sony WH-1000XM4 that just wouldn’t go away. I’m enjoying the Bose QuietComfort way more and found their ANC to be better than Sony’s (

Sony WH1000XM4 headphones water damaged
You can hope they dry up and still work. And/or you can open them up and inspect the damage, maybe fix problems. Here's an iFixIt guide. It's rated as "Difficult", which I think is an accurate rating. This means that if you're not used to opening up devices you probably shouldn't attempt to do this

What is your Painfully Honest Review for the WH-1000XM4 Headphones?
Owned a pair for one day. Couldn't use them while they were charging, which is I N S A N E for headphones that expensive. That, and the battery lasting 3 or 4 hours made me exchange them for a pair of Sennheiser Accentum Plus ANC headphones. Similarly priced right now, and the Sennheisers are S O mu
