Abstract: Its time to revisit the Sony vs Shure battle for brand superiority. This godforsaken year has brought us two of the leading innovators in wireless over-ear headphones delivering new cans for us to listen to. Those are the Shure AONIC 50, and the Sony WH-...

Noise-Canceling, Wireless connection, Good battery,
Overpriced, average signature, Sony WH-1000XM4 is available at Audio 46, MAJORHIFI may get a commission from retail offers
Despite having a ton of features, and still reigning king in noise-cancellation technology, I'm still not very into this line as much as some people are. The signature doesn't impress me when comparing it to other wireless headphones like the Strauss and...
Fantastic noise cancelling, Very accurate sound for ANC headphones, Proximity based auto play/pause, LDAC codec support, Terrific app experience
Edge-AI upscaling doesn't add much, Touch controls still have a learning curve, You can't use LDAC with multipoint Bluetooth
The Sony WH-1000XM4 is the successor to what are widely considered to be the best active noise cancelling headphones on the market. While the feature upgrades are minimal, they are nonetheless welcome...
Simultaneously pair two devices at once, Wear detection for automatic play/pause, Class-leading active noise canceling with good sound, Long 30-hour battery life with USB-C fast charging, Excellent comfort for extended use
Expensive, Can't charge and listen at the same time, Drops support for aptX and aptX-HD

You'd be hard-pressed to find Bluetooth headphones that sound better, 30 hours of use with ANC on is more than enough, Sony's improved noise canceling is very effective, The large touchpads work great, and the Quick Attention feature is handy, The new pro
No AptX, which is desirable for some devices. LDAC doesn't work with certain features enabled, No design changes to speak of, still no water protection, Too apt to pause your music even on lower sensitivity settings
Great noise cancelling, Neutral-leaning sound quality, Bluetooth multipoint support, Bluetooth 5.0; SBC, AAC, LDAC support, Battery life (though less than XM3), Comfortable and portable, Auto-pause functionality
Price, Unreliable touch controls, Slightly less comfortable than the WH-1000XM3, Limited custom button control
If you have the money and want a top-tier pair of headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM4 are the way to go. The combination of high-quality Bluetooth codecs, great sound, improved noise cancelling, good battery life, and smart features like auto pause and Blueto...

Excellent active noise cancelation, Multipoint Bluetooth pairs 2 devices at once, 30+ hours of battery, Almost every item on the WH-1000XM3 wishlist is answered
Not waterproof
There's always a risk when a much-loved product gets an update that some of the magic will be lost along the way. Sony has, wisely, left well alone in the places where its old ANC headphones were most praised. Instead, by focusing its attentions on where...

Great noise cancelling, Great sound quality, Bluetooth multipoint is super convenient, Multiple Bluetooth codecs supported (SBC, AAC, LDAC), Bluetooth 5.0, Battery life is great, Comfortable and has hinges for folding, Autopauses when you take them off
Price is still expensive, Doubletap to pause didn't always work, Slightly less comfortable than the WH1000XM3, Battery life is down from the previous version, Custom button controls either the Assistant OR noise cancelling
