Linus Tech Tips - I Forced 3 Android Users to Switch to iPhone - 30 Day iPhone Challenge Part 1 July 8, 2025 at 12:08PM

I’ve used the Sony linkbuds S before, and the WH-1000XM4 or whatever it’s called, and the transparency mode on those doesn’t hold a candle to the AirPods. I’d honestly forget I was even wearing the AirPods, the transparency mode is that good. In terms of sound quality they all sounded fine, if anyth

Airplane Vs Travel Items

I have Sony WH-1000XM4, but I find myself carrying them less and less to the point where they've been relegated to long haul international flights only. My earbuds do the noise cancelling job 80% as well, they're 80% as comfortable and 5% as large. Trade off in most instances is worth it.

¿Cómo se desenvuelve un TEA en un ambiente laboral demandante?

En mi paso por la universidad ya se tenía conciencia del autismo, sin embargo, nunca vi a nadie exigir o solicitar un trato diferencial por poseer esta condición. No presencié a nadie con audífonos en la sala de clases, haciendo uso de juguetes para el estrés, o desregulándose por sobrecarga sensori

Vad är ert största i-lands problem?

Jag blir ofta frustrerad på mina WH-1000XM4 hörlurar för dom har en funktion som sätter på transparency mode och stänger av musiken när jag pratar, vilket ibland är väldigt användbart. Men det är jobbigt när du sitter i ett eget rum och riktigt vass 80-tals rock slås på och du bara vill skrika "SWEE

Wh-1000XM4 CUTS OUT WHEN TALKING?

Hey y'all,

I'm sure I accidentally turned on a feature or something, but recently my XM4's have started doing this thing pretty frequently where they play a little chime, then cut out all sound for a moment.

The one consistent thing I've noticed is it usually happens when I start talking, and tap

Apple’s laziest upgrade yet? AirPods Max 2 vs 1 - SoundGuys

I do not recommend the XM5 as the XM4 and XM6 are better, but I do think Sony does a much better job at their sound curve with ANC on. They are close to a Harman curve with more emphasis on the bass

My broken headphones work when I order a new one. But break again once I cancel. And the cycle continues.

Yesterday, my beloved noise cancelling Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones started to have a high pitched feedback squeal and clicking in my left earcup. I've found people with the same issue and some possible solutions on Reddit, but none of them worked for me. So I ordered a new one on Amazon. And right af

Thinking of switching from Sonys headphones to Bowers&Wilkins,which should I pick?

I replaced my Sony WH-1000XM4 (broke) and XM6 (to the wife) with the Px8 S2 a few weeks ago. If you value for noise cancellation, Sony has it hands down. The Px8 NC is OK but not that good. In fact, most of the time, I keep NC off. If you value a quality listening experience (not sure how to say it

noise cancelling headphones - looking for recs :)

I usually use my airpods with noise cancelling, but my neighbours are currently remodeling their home so I need something more heavy duty.

I ordered the Sony WH-1000XM4, but they feel extremely heavy on my head, the band on the top of my head is really digging in. It causes me pain during and after

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
