Sony NY WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones: Design, build and audio quality are noteworthy

MANY PEOPLE ARE simply averse to the idea of wearing over-the-ear headphones, wired or wireless, for the simple reason that they tend to be bulky, make our ears sweaty and cause general discomfort. Trust me, you won’t find any of these problems with the Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless noise cancelling stereo headset. The WH-1000XM4 (with a price tag of Rs 29,990) is the much-awaited successor to the hugely popular WH-1000XM3, offering Sony’s famed audio quality along with a host of intelligent features that allow you to personalise and control your music, improve noise cancellation and adjust ambient sound automatically for a great audio experience.

This reviewer has a strong preference for entire-ear covering headphones for the simple reason that they keep distractions at bay. After almost three weeks of usage, he has no qualms in admitting that the WH-1000XM4 is the best set of headphones in the market.
