After two years, Sony has finally released the successor to its flagship true wireless earbuds: the WF-1000XM4. But are these in-ears worthy of praise? Should you spent the extra cash to buy the latest earbuds Sony has to offer, or stick to the original WF-1000XM3?

Sound quality is number 1 thing for me. Even if I have many audiophile headphones, I still use bluetooth earbuds in various situations. Long story short. I didn't like out of box sound signature of xm4. My eq tweaking didn't work either. However, I just found your eq recommendation:) Wow! Thank you very much! I'm not going to return it of course.

Thanks for the recommended EQ settings. I wonder if the XM4's will sound better after a break-in period. Oh, about the comfort and fit? That's the one thing I've seen some reviewers say is a potential weak spot with the XM4's. What is your experience?
@SoundGuys
@SoundGuys 2 роки тому
Be sure to check out our article on breaking-in headphones! www.soundguys.com/headphone-burn-in-isnt-real-17463/ I personally haven't had any issues with the comfort and fit. After taking some time to try on the different ear tip sizes, I found that the medium tips worked best for my ears-but your experience may vary. - Harley

You are saying silicon ear tips when you are referring to silicone ear tips, a subtle but important distinction. Silicon is the element Si itself used in circuit boards while Silicone is a polymer composed with a backbone of -(-Si-O-Si-O-)- also know as polymerized siloxane.

One annoying thing with these earbuds so far is that it seems like only the right earbud can be used by itself. If you try and only use the left earbud they do not work. I like to alternate between the two so I always have one earbud charging.

Great sound quality. However, in reality these are not ‘active noise cancelling’ - it’s a lie! The fat, squishy - and very uncomfortable - earplugs do block some ambient background noise, but if you activate ANC, nothing happens, only a slight reduction of the sound source’s volume. Activate the Ambient function, and you’ll hear background hiss. I tried two new pairs in a shop - both the same.
@Dropmurphy
@Dropmurphy 2 роки тому
These don't get loud enough. Even with the volume maxed on my phone and the buds, ANC at 10, and volume limiter off, I can't hear these unless I'm in an already quiet room, and even then it sounds like they're 2 inches from my ears. I hate them. Sony's own, cheaper C500s have lousy sound quality, but at least I can hear them. Samsung's Galaxy line is way better and half the price, usually.

Thanks for the review. For those of you in the U.S, Best Buy is offering these earbuds for 118.00 USD. So...if price was an issue, you can get it on sale now for the next few days. The sale is temporarily. Edit: so I looked back at Best Buy and it turns out the model number is different. It looks the same but its not. I apologize! Sorry for giving false hope!

I own these sonys it also own the Senheisser momentum 2 the jabra 85t the galaxy buds pro and plus. The Amazon echo earbuds. And all of these sound better than the airpods pro. So I'm with you on this. I wish they'd stop comparing to airpods pro all the time.

My Galaxy Buds Pro's are better and the Sony XM-4"s BLOWS them away. It's hard to beat Sony. UKpostss talk about Bose and the Bowers and Wilkins PI-7 But the Bowers and Wilkins are almost 200.00 more and from what I have read the Bluetooth/WIFI on them is terrible...and the ANC is NOT as good as the Sony XM-4's(for 400.00...I don't think so)...The Bose may have a tiny bit better ANC...but the music sound quality is NO comparison to Sony or the galaxy Buds pro's. Bose is great for ANC...but that's it. That includes their Headphones. Bose sound quality is NOT good. Sony is still the one's to beat....in both the earbuds and headphones.

@@richardcowan4720 Hey Richard, you said you own a lot of earbuds. I recently got the Sennheiser MTW2 and I really love the the sound. The only problem with these is that the left one hurts my ear outside. I can't use them more than 20min. Do you know if the sonys will do as well? Cause I think the passform is like the same size as the Sennheiser. Next point is, that I wanna know if the bass is comparable to the Sennheiser?

@richardcowan4720 2 роки тому
@@PL-ht3xw bass is better on the sonys. Plus the EQ on the sonys is superb! So you can play around with it to get the sound to your liking. Sony are using a new type of eartips that's a bit like memory foam that will mold to your ear. At first I didn't like it bit it does get better. Plus if you squeeze the tips before putting then into your ear helps. Overall with a great EQ and LDAC codec the sonys are the better sounding. Well to my ears. Everyone will have a different preference. But of I had to chose I'd pick the sonys.

@@richardcowan4720 First of all, thank you for that answer!! Do the sony's hurt your ear outside?

At this point of twisting, my ear starts hurting. Just at the left one. Is it the same way with the sonys? Do they need to be fixed the same way?

Sony Poor Customer Service. I've pre-order the Sony WF-1000XM4 when I called to find out when they were arriving Sony Customer Support told me the order was cancelled. I've replied I didn't cancel the order, Sony did! They didn't care to send me an e-mail or any kind of notification. I've order them from Best Buy. I've tested the Sony WF-1000XM4 vs the Bose QuietComfort earbuds. The Bose were superior in noise cancellation, calls and in sound volume and better in my ears for prolonged use.
