The Sony WF-1000XM4 ANC earbuds are the latest competition for the Apple AirPods Pro, and I've been looking for a reason to switch for a while now. I think this might be it.

To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ukposts.infoUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
@CrowsRevenge1 2 роки тому
Love these earphones. The Foam didnt really fit my ear but I swapped them out for a silicon set I had and it didnt impact the ANC much at all. That 8 to 9 hours of ANC lasts me throughout work so I'm very happy with them.
@CrowsRevenge1 2 роки тому
@CuriouStan honestly, I can't really answer that. I mostly use them around the house or at work. But I work a medical standby so they are used when sitting at a desk for long periods of time. I have worn them multiple times while washing a car outside here in Texas or while walking and have never had them dislodge or require adjustment as the silicone set I put on them fits great. But that's just my experience.

@CuriouStan that's fair. But I can say that Linus is not over selling just how good the Noise cancelling is. It really is better than a lot of over the ear headphones. But I can definitely see needing the wings though.

Just got a pair, they're great. Musicality is typical Sony which is top notch. Just a good clean sound from bass to mids to treble.

Still good enough to muffle any overly loud obnoxious people who manage to wander a little too close to me.

I absolutely love mine! I love how it switches from noise cancellation to Ambient noise when I start talking and returns to music after 5 seconds or however long you want it to return to Noise Cancelling/ Music.

@@WELDE83 I don't think the AirPods have "multipoint" per se but I think multipoint is overrated and often causes issues for example if you want to connect a third device. What's more important is for a device to take over a connection which is what the AirPods do and I really like that. I don't have to disconnect my laptop or iPad to start listening on my phone, I can just select the AirPods and they will switch over. That functionality is more important in my opinion that multipoint, not that multipoint isn't a nice feature, two or three device multipoint with reliable connection stealing would be ideal.

Great review! What I was wondering. I've owned a lot of earphones in my life. What I always experience, especially with the in-ears with the smaller drivers, out of the box the sound sometimes disappoints a little bit. There is usually too much highs and mids compared to the lows and the sound is kind of flat, it's hard to describe but I've experienced this with every ear bud I've ever owned. After some hours of playing music this always improves a lot. After a few days of playing a lot of music they always sound so much more dynamic and the lows mids and highs are more in balance. I guess this is the same like speakers who have to be played for some time to make the rubber loosen a little before unleashing their full potential. Can you do a follow up for these Sony xm1933nndndn (or whatever they are called) to check ehat the sound quality is after hours of music playback? I'm interested to know.

A lot of people think loudspeakers need time to settle in too. It may be possible though that you are getting used to them a little as well? Just sayin. The main thing is that they sound better to you over time & not worse! I'm excited after ordering a slightly used (hopefully!) pair of black XF-1000XM4's for myself! I was gonna get the next ones down, but I like my music.

*A warning to anyone still looking to purchase these* I've had these for a year and a couple months and battery degradation is a MAJOR problem with these. They no longer hold a charge well and drain very quickly. It's a problem that seems to plague this model right around after the 1 year mark. Conveniently Sony only put a 1 year warranty on these, and their "advice" after the warranty expires is to turn off all of the premium features to increase battery life. You know, the extra features that you get for paying a premium price. You might as well get a cheap pair of skullcandy headphones. At least then you get what you pay for. $300(with tax) seems like a steep price to pay for disposable earbuds. And I say disposable because there doesn't seem to be an easy way to get the replacement cell for the earbuds, you can pretty much only replace the case battery. TLDR: If you want earbuds that last, don't get these.

The comment about noise cancelation being almost eerily good is spot on. I got these and tried them and was impressed but then I went on a trip and these things basically completely silenced all the plane noise. I had my volume on like 20-30% and heard everything perfectly clear. I had to keep turning the ANC on and off just amazed how much it got rid of.
@M15Taka 2 роки тому
I would be interested in hearing the difference between the foam and silicone tips. In my experience the Comply style tips do provide a more custom feel however, the porous properties of the foam make the bass seem less punchy and make the sound seem a little thinner. As a lifelong Sony fan I am very interested in trying these. My current XB700 work great with spare silicone tips from an older pair of MDR XB90EX which are my previous favorite. Good video. Thanks.
@NightMotorcyclist 2 роки тому
I have the Airpods Pro with foam ear tips made by various manufacturers (but no longer include Comply in the lineup because they aren't quite as good) and the sound quality has improved quite a bit. It has a bit more low end emphasis but not quite as much a 'V' shape as my Jabra Elite Active 75t. I plan on buying these 1000X-M4 buds though as I didn't care for the bulky size of the 1000X-M3

We are at the awkward stage where these are more expensive than the Sennheiser MTW 2's. Currently they are on sale for $250 and $220 for the Black and White models respectively while the Sonys are at the normal price of $280! I'm so torn on what to get because using earbuds independently was a must have for me, but that was also because my old AirPods didn't have the battery to last me on one earbud through a whole work day with just charging on my 15 minute breaks. I would have to swap earbuds through the day, but when one pooped out I was screwed. My main priorities are sound quality and being able to use only 1 bud for an 8 hour work day with only 2-3 15 minute charging intervals a day. If anyone has tried out one, or both of these earbuds, and uses them for a similar situation I would love to hear you feedback. The quality of the ANC is also important because I need to be able to easily talk to people, and hear a radio while using them.

I would like to add something regarding the Sony XM4s. I have a pair and don't get me wrong they are fantastic in almost every way, but have a well known and glaring issue. Long term battery life is not consistent. The battery in the case and the right ear bud on my set are pretty much done for, barely a year after purchase and with normal use. Conveniently just within days of being outside warranty. This is not an isolated issue either. Minimal research shows many examples of the same problem, with batteries on the buds and or case essentially dying after about a year and just after Sony's 1 year warranty period. And Sony, who must be aware of this I imagine, are not forthcoming with assistance. I understand warranty is as it is, but for a wide spread issue that seems to be a technical issue with many of their buds I expected more direct assistance when I engaged their support team. But what I got, and everyone else I came across got, was a call to either pay to have them shipped to a repair facility and repaired at cost or buy a brand new pair. For a product marketed as premium and costing as much as they do this situation hardly seemed appropriate and definitely soured my opinion of the product. For those that got good sets, they work very well. And I cannot argue the quality of every other part of these. But why pay close to $300 for a product that has such a high chance of only lasting a year? I hope for the LMG team to see this because I'd feel bad for someone buying these on their recommendation to then get the short end of the stick.

Please review their reliability too! I’ve been using the xm3 (predecessor of this product) for almost 1.5 years now. It’s great in most aspects, sound quality, ANC, controls… but it is *absolute trash* when it comes to reliability. Frequent random disconnects and slow response to touch commands among other things make it almost unbearable to use at times. Would be really great to know if this new version is an improvement…

Hey if you ever get the chans to try the XM4 like in a store, friend or co worker you should!

Still went with them because the airpods aren't the best with Android, and XM3's were 100$ cheaper at the time, so enough to cover 5 eartip purchases, and that's enough for the few years the battery will last, and with memory foam eartips I do agree they're much better.
