Sony WF-1000XM4 Compared To All The Best Earbuds (I Own)

[@Der_Boratcho]

Thank you so much for your honest review. Never saw so far, this kind of comparison. Extremely well done professional video production as well !!!

[@AndysTechTone]

Thank you 👍

[@LangueTech]

Very true indeed. Now am sure the Sony’s are my favourite.

[@PushyPawn]

My 2nd month with XM4's and I'm loving every minute of use. Following application of the right size choice of bud tips, a proper set up of EQ and assigning your preferred actions to the touch controls, the XM4's are unbeatable as of 2021, especially if price is a factor, despite the Sony's not being cheap at all. The ANC performance is unreal. During my first day I kept taking one ear bud out thinking I had a stroke and couldn't hear anymore. The only caveat to get the most out of XM4's, make sure your device supports Bluetooth 5.2 for a separate, dedicated connection to each bud from the source device. Playing high quality lossless .flac files over Sony's LDAC codec on its highest 990kbps setting, I personally can't tell the difference between dedicated wired cans. Even on 660kbps setting, sound quality is better than a CD but with improved range, 20+ metres. The used music source device is a Pixel 6.

[@PushyPawn]

​@bron lebron I would take XM4's any day although they are both so good the difference is minor. While the actual active ANC performance is very similar, I'd still claim the XM4's as being superior. IMO, the memory foam tips help more with noise cancellation than the slight software/hardware improvements. However XM4's do seem to to react to touch inputs and other changes faster. My phone is Bluetooth 5.2 compatible so I can't vouch for how older 5.0 source devices will perform.

[@GAMERCASB]

I just got them Saturday and try them out Monday for extreme work outs at the gym had had no issues falling out no issues while squatting no issues while bench pressing noise canceling is amazing I can’t not hear the sloppy music they play at the gym I can’t hear people talking I can’t hear the wight being slam they remind off the beats solo off the noise canceling the beats solo first edition noise canceling were amazing too but I like the ear buds cuz I have thick hair these are perfect for daily use the ear tips that came with don’t penetrate my ears like how some people complain I was able use them for full day workout with out ear pain or being uncomfortable today I’m try running with them on treadmill

[@zignimus5334]

@805GAMER805CASB how are they after 4 months? Still reccomend them? I bought them but then wanted to change for senheiser but it's a big hassle to get them arrived first then send back and all the while having hundreds of dollars missing from my account until all that got resolved I'm thinking I'll just keep the sony's since they're already on their way

[@PushyPawn]

@@zignimus5334 Absolutely, I carry them everywhere I go.

[@zignimus5334]

[@lemlastamastare7009]

I just bought the XM4. I had the AirPods, airpods pro and the studio buds but these are the best in all categories except that the studio buds fit a little better in the ear

[@rustoleom]

How are the Sony's earbuds themselves compared to the airpods pro in terms of weight. How heavy are they when in your ear and can you hear the outside world fine with the Sony's ambient mode on, or are the airpods pro's far better in that category? Lastly, do you not find them too huge? They look massive, but then when I see them in people's ears, it doesn't look that bad

Just as a follow-up to my comlent above, I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro. Given I have the S21 Ultra and the Tab S7+, the connectivity between both devices is fluid (plus they connect seamlessly to my work PC for Teams calls). In terms of sound/music quality, I find them very much superior to my AirPods Pro. However for noise cancelling the Galaxy Buds Pro definitely don't block as efficiently as the AirPods Pro. Once again this video was very informative, helping me consider what I needed to consider in my purchase 👍

@@christopherkowalewski Glad the Samsung buds turned out to be great for you, thanks for the update 👍

I got the sennheiser MW2 recently couldn’t be happier .. the sound quality is crisp , clean and the bass resonates so deep and fades away soon as it’s no longer needed for the treble and mids to shine as well … I haven’t tried or seen any earbuds that comes close and the earbuds are quite comfortable at least for my ears..

[@AndysTechTone]

The 1More Comfobuds Pro have one of the best phone call quality I've heard beside the Airpods Pro. Jabras are usually good too. Or there are the Edifier Neobuds Pro as another option

[@myyoutube5242]

Great wrap up. Think the Jaybirds are really underrated but agree - both Sony and Jaybird.

[@TigerKittay]

I bought the XM4s this week and I was blown away by the sound quality, ANC and Ambient sound modes especially in Ambient sound there is no or very little sound quality difference which I did not notice. I bought the Vista 2s 3 weeks ago and the ANC is just ok but I was very disappointed with their SurroundSense mode - the music sounded flat like clanging cymbals and this is coming from a Jaybird user as far back as Bluebuds X. I agree the fit is not the best for everyone but I'm fine with it, you have to compress the foam tips before wearing it. Realistically, you cannot put check marks on all the boxes on any product out there. You just have to find one that suits your preferences and needs. A perfect product doesn't exist. To summarize, I would use my Vista 2s for workout and the XM4s for daily use and travel. Using the riding mower to cut the grass might be a toss up lol.

[@AndysTechTone]

100% agree 👍

I bought the WH-1000XM4 several months ago and I love them. However, due to their size and specifications there are certain places where you would prefer to use smaller ones. I am an Apple user and I also have Airpods 2, but I was interested in noise cancellation. If I already have the Sony technology in the WH. Is it better for me to mix with the WF or maybe scale from the Airpods 2 to the Airpods Pro?

[@AndysTechTone]

The Airpods Pro have great noise cancellation so it might be worth it for you to upgrade to the Pros and use them instead of the over-ears whenever you need the smaller buds

[@fortyinch]

Go with the airpods pro. They're under 200 now a days. Which makes it worth it for me. It's just a better overall specially if you're an ios user. I'm personally getting a second pair. And i "might" get the airpods max with it.

The Vista 2 were also cheaper and had better build quality IMO. If Jaybird is listening 👂 I don’t like that they have proprietary ear tips. I would like the option to use different ear tips of my choice.

I'm trying to find an all-around pair that withstand my alien-acid sweat for indoor cycling and has a good ANC for traveling and commute, call quality for zoom meetings and not costing a liver would be a great bonus. The Jabra 75t sport and Vista 2 are the closest candidates, but the ANC on the vista seems quite useless. Would love to hear if you have any other in mind for the use case above.

[@AndysTechTone]

Thank you for you very comprehensive review. The XM4's are my choice mainly for their superior ANC and battery life. However, I'm finding that they have a lot of trouble with background whooshing sound in ambient or ANC mode after a few months use. I have had one pair replaced by Sony already. I purchased a second pair to have while I waited for their return and after less than 3 months use I now have the same issue. I also had these type of issues with the Jabra elite75T with one earbud failing. Is there an issue with these earbuds packing so much tech into such a small package that they just fail? Sony were very good at replacing them with no issues about it but it's very annoying to have them fail after such short use.

[@antimage121]

The question i have is why @Andy's Tech Tone are you not recommending wf1000xm4 or sennheiser tw2 for gym usage. They are sweat and splash proof. I'm looking for a earbud that i can use in daily life and gym, by no means i do extreme moves that requires very secure fit but i do run occasionally and i believe xm4 or tw2 should sufficiently fit and also cover my needs for daily usage with ANC and other features. Can you explain why are you not recommending these buds for gym in all your videos. Not everyone is doing very intense HIIT training , i think these earbuds should be fine for weight lifting + small cardio (treadmill, climbers, rowing mach. etc.)

[@AndysTechTone]

That's simple. I don't personally feel the fit is secure enough with the XM4 and I'm not 100% happy with their comfort either. I rather use proper workout buds for exercise anyway. But if you want some all purpose buds and use them for your workouts, any buds will be perfectly fine to be honest. But I say this in my videos that is up to you. Fit can vary so much from person to person and all I can do is share my own experience with each bud I use. For example I almost lost the Jabra Elite Active 75T during one of my runs due to their not so snug fit in my ears. And those are real workout buds and people seem to love and use them all the time. Shortly, feel free to use the XM4 or the Sennheiser for your workouts, you will be fine more than likely...

[@antimage121]

@@AndysTechTone i appreciate your fast reply. I see, For a second i thought it was related to IPX4 rating not being good enough or non-silicon tips on xm4 being not usable for gym, i ve seen many users of xm4 in gym , some had small issues while running but most of them were happy about it.

Hi Andy, thanks for the great review. I have one question that no review seems to answer: how are the volumes on these earbuds? I know it will depend on ear, phone, app being used etc, but since you probably tested all of them with the same exact things then please tell me, between the xm4, momentum tw2, m&d mw08 and buds pro. I own the xm4s but at max it still needs a little "bump" sometimes when I want to really jam to the music. You may not have used these at max volume, but if you did can you rank these in terms of volume please? And anyone else that has some of these earbuds. Thank you! I love the xm4s but depending on what is said I might have to try another one.

Thank you so much for making this video. Really useful. I bought wf1000xm3s. The sound is nice but they get tiring in the ear if held too long.

Thank you so much for such an amazing detailed comparison, but I still can't seem to conclude. Which of these earbuds would you recommend for an accurate listening experience for listening to music the way artist intended them to?

[@AndysTechTone]

Either the Sennheiser Momentum TWS2 or the Bang & Olufsen EQ (not tested here though)

[@harkeshpatmanathan6134]

Are the sony mx4 good for heavy workouts? Like the jaybird vista 2 or bose sport earbuds? Which one is better? I prefer good sound quality and a tight comfortable fit

[@AndysTechTone]

I don't like the fit of the XM4 and I can only use them for workouts with third party memory foam tips (Comply) Both the Vista 2 and the Bose Sport are better. If you want the best get the Vista 2

Witch earbuds to choose for running and road cycling ? I need good mic and max protection from wind

[@AndysTechTone]

Jaybird Vista 2 are good for running but for cycling I would not recommend using earbuds at all. Maybe some bone conduction headphones such as the Aftershokz Aeropex

[@wyatttaliancich2947]

Hey Andy! Stumbled across your channel about a few days ago and really appreciate the reviews. I've been debating whether to get the Momentum TW2 and MW08. I'm really a sound guy, but I'm also trying to pursue an active lifestyle. The MW08 also has a sport version, that supposedly has the same sound as the mw08, just for 50$ extra for the Kevlar-now-wireless-charging case. What would you recommend for someone who wants a truly enjoyable listening experience and one who can really hear the details and subtleties of the music.

[@AndysTechTone]

I haven't had a chance to test the MW08 Sport so I'm not sure if their fit is snug enough or not. The Sennheiser buds sit tight in my ears. With some foam tips you can improve the fit even further so I'd say give the Sennheiser a go especially at a discounted price

[@wyatttaliancich2947]

@@AndysTechTone Thank you for your recommendation Andy! Which would you say has a better sound? My preferences are a mostly natural sound, with deep, resonant bass. Which earbuds, between all of which you've tested, really allows you to enjoy and hear nuances in music while still maintaining clarity and resonance? Again, thank you for the quick reply, I appreciate it! 👍

[@AndysTechTone]

@@wyatttaliancich2947 The Momentum TWS2 are a bit more balanced sounding with a tactile bass while the MW08 are a bit on the warm side with a less extended top end. I don't know how much detail you need to enjoy music but I enjoy them both for sure. Other buds with great sound (in my opinion) are the B&W PI7, Kef Mu3, Jaybird Vista 2 and the Sony XM4

[@TheMatasr97]

Sony xm4 or bose QC earbuds? Im looking for deep and high quality bass , also the good noise cancelling while travelling with plane. Any ideas?

Both earbuds can deliver good bass and good ANC.

[@parthkakadia9301]

Does the sound quality on the pi7 make it worth the price? If not, which are the best sounding tws earbuds you've heard?

[@AndysTechTone]

In short no, the PI7s sound alone is not worth the premium price tag. My favourite earbuds in terms of sound are the Kef Mu3, Bose Sport Earbuds, Jaybird Vista 2, Sennheiser Momentum TWS 2.0, M&D MW08. Don't ask me to pick one though...

[@lawryteos2230]

I run three times a week (10km) and walk (12km) the other 3. Rest one day. I own - 1) Jabra 85t and use it while I exercise and out. However, I have problem. It disconnects itself and reconnect back several times a day. And it’s left earbud is not stable. Maybe electrical interference. It’s fine when I run in parks. 2) WH-1000XM4 I use this at home for work from home confo calls and meetings 3) Sony LSPX-S2 I use this when I want to listen to vocal singing. So the only question here is. I love sound quality and I need my buds to be able for outdoor exercise. Should I turn to vista 2 and junk my 85T? It terms of sound quality both are the same? Or should I try Gemini? Thank you

[@AndysTechTone]

I'd say get the Vista 2. I believe they sound much more balanced and open than the Jabra but it's down to personal preference and of course there is EQ in both apps too. But my go to running buds are the Jaybird Vista 2 for sure

[@drachna]

How would you compare them to the XM3s? I'm sure that they're better in every way, but is it a noticeable difference?

[@AndysTechTone]

There is a noticeable difference in most areas. Watch my (other) XM4 review, I talk about it in detail there

If choose between sony, jabra and sennheiser which is better? is there big difference in overall? For me easier to get Jabra as for the other two I cant find delivery to my country. How is jabra sound quality?

[@AndysTechTone]

The Elite 85T have a great sound, bit bass heavy but the Jabra app has custom EQ. All differences between these buds come down to personal preferences anyway and no matter how good some earbuds might be if you have no access to them

[@sabitbagirli7399]

@@AndysTechTone yes agree with you. I can order sony too but it will cost me around 400 usd so it comes too expencive. So what would be your own choise? Which one do you prefer in overall ?
