Compact and comfortable, Incredible sound, Almost endless smart features
Expensive
You've got to have the cash to splash, but if you do then you really can't get better than the Sony WF-1000XM4 for wireless earbuds. Although I can understand the argument of AirPods Pro for iPhone users. Still, the XM4 are worth considering no matter wha...

Brilliant sound, very effective noise cancelling, good ambient sound modes, long battery life, longterm comfort, solid connectivity, full EQ, Google Assistant, Alexa, pocketable case, crossplatform app support
Big for earbuds, expensive, can't control everything at the same time from the gesture panel, mic can sound muffled in loud places, no extra wings to hold them in for running
The Sony WF-1000XM4 are some of the very best sounding, most effective noise-cancelling Bluetooth earbuds money can buy.They still have a terrible name, but are smaller, easier to fit and more comfortable, last longer and are much more pocketable than the...
Excellent audio quality, Smart, effective noise cancellation, Useful quality-of-life features
No multipoint pairing, Fit can be a bit fiddly
The Sony WF-1000XM4 don't dethrone the Bose QC Earbuds as the most effective noise cancellers around, nor do they quite match the B&W PI7 for sound quality. But they deliver brilliantly in both of those areas and, as an all-round package, can't be beaten...

Coherent, expressive and engagingly musical sound,Exemplary control app,Splendid call quality,
Battery life could be better, Noise-cancelling not quite the best out there,
The Sony WF-1000XM4 are profoundly impressive across the board, and are arguably the best true wireless earbuds you can buy. Some rivals may outperform them in certain areas, but the all-round package is very hard to beat.Reasons to buy+Coherent, expressi...

Articulate, convincing sound, Great call quality, Ergonomically impeccable
Battery life is just about acceptable, Noise-cancellation can be bettered
The Sony WF-1000XM4 are a punchy, detailed and well-balanced listen, more than capable of soothing just as easily as getting you ready for the dancefloor. They sound spacious, unified and convincingly musical. They're an endlessly engaging listen, with a...

Rapid, full-bodied and eloquent sound, Impeccable ergonomics and some truly useful features, Impressive call quality
Unremarkable battery life, ‘B+' noise-cancelling, Can take a few moments to position comfortably
Sony is largely responsible for the rude health of the active noise-cancelling true wireless in-ear headphones market, and with the WF-1000XM4, the company has combined performance, ergonomics, and build quality more effectively than ever before. They're...
Great audio performance,Superb adaptive noise-cancelling (ANC) tech,Comfortable for long periods of wear,Hi-Res Audio Wireless and LDAC support,Qi wireless charging on case
No support for Qualcomm aptX,Still reasonably large in the ear,Battery life in the case is a bit less than some competitors
Sony has sure hit its stride now, first with the superb WH-1000XM4 over-ears, now followed-up by these exemplary WF-1000XM4 in-ears. There are so many new features in these true wireless earbuds that they're even worth considering as an upgrade over the l...

Clear, detailed bass performance, Wonderful sense of musicality, Comfortable, Class-leading battery life,
Missing Sony's Multipoint feature, Lacking ear tip choices, No aptX HD,
We're quite taken by the Sony WF-1000XM4. Given all the design changes and new features in these wireless earbuds, it must have been a real challenge to get them right. But Sony has absolutely nailed it. The headphones deliver a satisfying user experience...
