Reviewers unanimously agree that the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds deliver best-in-class active noise cancellation, excellent sound quality with rich bass, and long battery life, making them a top choice for premium true wireless earbuds.
8:20The reviewer concludes that the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds are the best noise-canceling true wireless earbuds currently available, offering top-tier noise cancellation, excellent sound quality, and superior battery life, though they come with some drawbacks like mediocre call quality and a high price. The reviewer recommends them for those willing to pay for a premium experience.
32:04The reviewer praises the Sony WF-1000XM4 for its top-tier noise cancellation, improved design, and comfortable foam tips, while noting the sound quality is excellent and the battery life is solid. He concludes they are worth the $280 price and ranks them among the best truly wireless earbuds he has tested, though he mentions minor issues like the ear tips being polarizing and the speak-to-chat feature being buggy.
13:19The reviewer finds the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds to be a premium and feature-rich product, praising their excellent active noise cancellation, good sound quality, and long battery life. They note the earbuds are comfortable once properly fitted, though they require some adjustment to get a good seal, and the speak-to-chat feature has some quirks. Overall, the reviewer considers them the best noise-canceling earbuds they've used, despite the high price.
23:12The reviewer finds the Sony WF-1000XM4 to be a significant improvement over the previous model, with excellent sound quality, particularly in bass and detail, and effective noise cancellation. However, comfort is a drawback, as they can only be worn for about an hour, and phone call quality is disappointing. Compared to the AirPods Pro, the Sonys offer better sound and seal but are less comfortable, making the choice dependent on priorities.

They find the $279 price justified, though they note the newer, cheaper Linkbuds S may be a better value for some users. The only issue encountered was a minor transparency mode glitch that was fixed by disabling adaptive sound.
