Pros, Articulate, convincing sound, Great call quality, Ergonomically impeccable
Cons, 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...

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...

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...

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...
