Sony Wf 1000Xm4 Review

IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).

Having a value of IPX4, the Sony WF 1000XM4's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Sony WF 1000XM4 have a weight of 7.1g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.

Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise.

How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.

The Sony WF 1000XM4's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. The Sony WF 1000XM4's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Sony WF 1000XM4's measurement is 105dB/mW.

Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. The Sony WF 1000XM4's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge.
