When you changed the ear tips from the memory foam one to the silicone type, you have reduced the ANC capability of the xm4. And you also changed the airpod pro's into memory foam ones, which enhanced ANC capability. So your ANC experienced is totally off, compared to those who use the standard ear tips for both. Even then, the xm4 still won out in ANC capability for you. That comes to show how good the ANC for the sony's is.

I think bluetooth will continue to advance and sound will actually surpass the average wired listening scenario (smartphone dac) with imoroved dacs with less interference from electronics inside the phone. My issue is comfort/ergonomics and repairability. Sony’s suck (for me) when it comes to fitting my ears, and apples suck for repairability (surprise surprise). Senheisers suck for features and holding a reliable connection, and bose is behind by a little bit for sound quality. Still lots of room for improvement but it’s cool seeing the progress that’s been made.

well, big chip manufacturers have to release better bluetooth infrastructure as their is only so much an earbud producer can make something to reduce latency and other bluetooth drawbacks. For example, wireless gaming mice have dongle transponders that relay wifi (usually a standard 2.4 Ghz connection) to make latency almost the same as a wired one. A solution to the earbud problem would be to use wifi connection, as wifi has been more developed and faster. However, bluetooth has been making its strides to improving connection and making a wireless world closer to reality, which is going to be exciting.

In my opinion, even SONY's last-gen model, the Sony WF-1000XM3, is superior to the Apple AirPods Pro. For smartphone products, you have the two main competitors, Apple and Samsung. In the meantime, SONY is always doing their own thing in the background. They don't care about all of the hype and fanfare. They just do it, and they do it exceptionally well. The Sony WF-1000XM3 is amazing. I am completely blown away. I could never go back to Apple AirPods. No shame in SONY's game! It is what it is. That being said, I can only imagine that the Sony WF-1000XM4 is that much better and even more of a rival for Apple.

Great summary Lexy!! 👍 I've been using the WH1000XM3's for 2 yrs now they have been the best for me so far. Better than Bose, Sennheiser, and Jabra's I've used in the past. The bud fit could be better and I've switched between the silicone and memory foam tips with memory foam feeling more comfortable for long term wear (i.e. 2 hrs continuous use). However, they don't stay in long enough and I have 'medium' sized ear canals. If you're a long distance runner or walker, then the buds will work themselves loose and you have to keep pushing them back in every 15-20 mins. Overall, the M3's have been a fairly reliable daily driver but there's been a nagging issue of Bluetooth connectivity loss. I've seen a lot of complaints posted about this. Sony has finally released a firmware upgrade (which doesn't impact audio quality at all) for the XM3's ... BUT I'm still experiencing an occasional disconnect/reconnect issue that randomly occurs. Since my smartphone uses a Bluetooth 5.1 chip, I won't be able to take advantage of the BIG improvement coming with v5.2 regarding with the release of LE Audio which should translate into even higher quality sound sound transfers (i.e. streaming Amazon UHD music) while consuming LESS power. That should translate into even better battery delivery and audio performance with the XM4s. Initially, I was very disappointed with the call quality based on feedback from the person on the other end ... but after figuring out Sony's app and tinkering with settings, I think the ANC does a fair enough job and listening transparency is good (especially when walking the dog). WRT the M4's, I'm intrigued about their more vivid soundstage along with additional audio codecs supported in this new iteration. Also the form factor tempts me to give them a try. Hard to tell if they jut out from the ear canals ... don't care for the Frankenstein bolt look. But, my hesitance in shelling out another $250 causes me to wait for some 'incentive' offer by Best Buy or even Amazon. I'll take Sony any day over Apple because I've never cared for Apple's 'closed architecture' approach to their technology and, IMHO, their products are often overhyped. For me, the long term value proposition with Sony's wireless buds influence my buying decision. Look forward to trying them out in the new year sometime.

I picked up the AirPods Pro before I really knew about the Sony’s but honestly I can’t complain about them… with the volume turned to about 80% they honestly sound really good and have surprising bass for their size. I can literally feel the bass of some songs thumping in my ears. Music is VERY balanced and it sounds like it should. The fit is great as well. I kind of twist them into my ears in a downward swooping motion and then push the backs in. Gives a great seal! The sound isolation alone is great. I drive a box truck at work and they cancel out about 80% of the engine noise just with the sound isolation and man it’s nice! Transparency mode is also freaking awesome and I use it every day. It allows me to keep them in my ears and work and still talk to customers. The ANC, to me, is ok… it’s honestly not too much more than the sound isolation provides. If I receive a call and the engine gets especially loud while I’m on the freeway ANC is nice for that. Battery life is eh… I get about 4 to 4 1/2 hours off a charge. But it’s fine. Some days I do have ear fatigue so longer battery life really wouldn’t matter that much. Overall, for the $200 I paid, the AirPods Pro are really good earbuds and I don’t think I could work without them and maintain my sanity lmao… Good review 🤘🏻

And secondly it would complement their bigger brother headphones (the WH-1000XM4 of course, which I do have as well) for when I didn't feel like taking the headphones. And also because in my opinion, I don't really like the AirPods (to each their own though).

You're putting in the Xm4s wrong in, they are made out of memory foam, so you should compress them first by squeezing them and then fit them into your ears making them expand, that creates a better seal

The S size is not small enough, even when compressing the foam to insert which is standard practice. Some people like me have tiny ear canals! Wish Sony made an XS with the foam tips, that would have been ideal

I think the biggest issue for Sony is its integration into the Apple environment. If they could improve their software integration into all Apple devices….. that would really make a difference for me… So how to make the Sonys perfect on the next update (1) make software that seamlessly integrates them into both android and Apple environments. (2) reduce the overall size (3) continue to improve the noise cancellation intelligence. (4) make case smaller and tougher. Keep long battery life.

Apple is to blame for integration, not Sony. It's already the best they can do. And Apple wouldn't let other brands have great integration on their devices since they would sell less of their own products.

@@Thatsmantas But as you may have seen in the market not every company does this ecosystem business model. If what your saying is correct every single company would logically have their own ecosystem, which is not true at all. Alot of companies allow cross platform usage with full features across the board. Only those company who wants to limit its users and force them to stick with their products are the ones that do this. It all boils down to greed and its as simple as that. Apple is not looking out for their clients but only for their pocket books.

@@Al13n1nV8D3R Samsung certainly has an ecosystem, so Apple is not alone in that. The reason why every company doesn't do it, is vertical integration. It requires a company to take control of all parts of the supply chain, and to own enough patents while fending off copycats. I'm not saying any company is great at it, or that it's the way to go, but it's a competitive advantage that only a few companies at the top can have. AirPods work on Android, famously the iPod came to Windows. Apple has allowed cross-platform support before and currently while still maintaining an ecosystem.

I own both and here are my 2 cents: Airpods are more comfortable than the Sony's, not saying the Sony's are uncomfortable but just not as good as the airpods. Sony's way better sound and better noice cancelling in my opinion but unless you're an audiophile (in which case you wouldn't go wireless anyways) both will serve you well but the Sony's are better. The airpods have given me a lot of headaches over time tho, I have owned both since launch and the airpods often fail to turn on or off and there sometimes is some weird bug where they sound really weird and you just have to reboot them. Both have been tested on an OnePlus 7 Pro for daily use but keep in mind that the airpods are roughly a year older by now so I can't speak on the long term quality of the Sony's.

I thought my airpod pro gone wrong after getting some zaps in the left so I got xm4 and it just got delivered about 2 hours ago. If the experience with the airpod was a heavy boxer keep punching your ear canals and drums, xm4 just puts a gentle smile on my face. You would feel like you feel the bass in your brain rather than the drums. I feel more comfortable with xm4 because it kinda hangs in the air once the in-ear lands on your canal. airpod sits on your ear and you can feel a bit of stress on the ear.

I went from XM3 to Airpods Pro and haven't looked back. Sony's sound quality was maybe a hint better (read more bass), but overall usability lost hands down. Things that irked me with XM3: tapping the bud to pause etc, large and not very comfy fit, huge case, can't run with them. The Apples just work: stays in great & comfy and the transparency mode is like the buds aren't there. If I want great sound for music I grab my IEMs. Cheers Lexy, cool comparo!
