Sony WH-1000XM4 vs JBL Reflect Flow

My second pair didn't clack but made those other noises. For $250 (on sale) I expect the materials to be top notch and not make noise just because I move (the Bose and JBL didn't have this flaw). The battery life was okay, better than the Bose but I use my headphones daily for my commute and the gym so I had to charge them once a week. My old non-ANC headphones had 40 hour battery life and lasted me weeks so in comparison that was a let down

Again, you can see they look very nice. Well, now these have 10 hours of battery life in them, which is excellent, considering how light they are. The...

So my first pair of headphone I got were the beats wireless studio, I recently decided it’s time for an upgrade and I had bough the Sony WH-1000XM4 and I love the wireless and battery life about it. I also like the noise canceling but once I started listening to it more I could tell they sounded ok but I wanted better sound. What are the best sound quality headphones for under 400$?

The Reflect Flow's mic offers solid intelligibility. Using the Voice Memos app on an iPhone 8, we could understand every word we recorded. There will still be some Bluetooth fuzziness around the edges of the audio, but the mic delivers crisp vocal communication, and doesn't sound far away.

However, at a price point of $500 Canadian (with all these issues) I can't say they're the best at this time. So if you're thinking of buying these XM4's, my advice would be to just wait it out. Let Sony roll out a few patches, while you stay current with these threads to see if any actual improvements are made. Thanks for taking the time to read

If you're under warranty, you're golden (they'll offer to fix or a discounted upgrade). If not, you're forced to operate with miniature tools under a magnifying glass to bend the button contact points to maintain constant connectivity to the board. My QC35's were months out of warranty & I was SOL.

I contacted JBL support, and though I followed their recommended cleaning advice, the left earbud still won't charge, and the right earbud only charges sporadically. I plan to submit for a warranty replacement since my purchase falls within the year. I will update my review once that gets figured out. Save the box the earbuds come in!! The box has the serial number you'll need for the warranty!! Edited 11/21/20: I submitted for a warranty replacement
