Sony WH-1000XM4
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are awesome. Software allows for easy configuration. There are 2 areas that need improvements. If you're using it for calls, the call codec switches from LDAC to SBC and has poor call quality. The second is that if connected to multiple devices LDAC support is disabled and you're forced to use SBC.

Posted .Hi DaftLC,
Thanks for sharing your 5-star review of these amazing headphones. It's unfortunate that you experienced lag issues. The audio playback on this unit may be delayed from that on the transmitting device, due to the characteristics of Bluetooth wireless technology. As a result, the sound may not be in sync with the image when viewing movies or playing games.

Not what I hoped they would be
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Get a lot of complaints about the microphone. No USB option so can only use it with a laptop. The sound is good. Noise-canceling amazing. "Magic" side "buttons" are just awful and the only one that works consistently is double-tap to answer the phone.

Very good quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome.. I was looking for this quality for years. I feel touch sensitivity is bit high, but that's my opinion as some time it stops song if I by mistake touch the panel. But that can be compromised
