Pros and cons

According to our earbuds expert
  • Active noise canceling reduces distracting ambient noise and white noise.
  • With the Sony Headphones Connect app, you can personalize the sound reproduction via an equalizer.
  • Thanks to Fast Pair, the earbuds automatically connect to the playback device they were most recently paired with.
  • The earbuds are water-resistant and not waterproof, so you can't clean them under the faucet.
Product Expert earbuds

Description

With the Sony WF-1000XM4, you can even enjoy your favorite songs in the loudest surroundings. These earbuds have noise canceling, so they reduce ambient noise. That way, you hear more of your music and less of your surroundings. Want to accentuate a certain tone in the sound? Download the Sony Headphones Connect app and personalize the sound reproduction via the equalizer. In addition, you can use the app to do a fit test. With this test, you and the app look for the ideal earbuds size together. You connect the earbuds to your smartphone wirelessly via Bluetooth. The next time you put the earbuds in your ear, they'll connect to the playback device they were last connected to right away. That means you never have to connect them manually. With the noise canceling turned on, the earbuds last 8 hours on a full charge.

Note: Sony does include a charging cable, but no charger. Use your current accessories, or purchase them separately.

Sound according to expert

With factory settings, these earbuds provide a balanced sound. They don't have a boosted bass or mid-range. This means the bass isn't prominent and instruments and vocals don't take over your sound. Do you want to accentuate certain tones? In the Sony Headphones Connect app, you can adjust the sound to your own liking.

Doubt if there will ever be better ones

My wife had a brain haemorrhage and (although luckily you can't see anything on the outside) she can't stand a lot of noise and especially no noise. So when neighboring children are playing in the garden, it can sometimes be difficult to sit in the garden. The Sony WF-1000XM4 grabs them easily and simply puts them in her ears. She has small ears, but they fit just fine and look great too.

If she wants to hear me talk (and that doesn't happen often, although I talk quite a lot!) she can briefly put her finger on one of the earplugs and I can talk to her. Or she taps it briefly to let ambient sound through. This way she doesn't have to screw the earplugs into her ears like corks every time and that is really nice.

The sound is phenomenal. You quickly get used to the fact that the earplugs are in your ears, they are so comfortable. But then it is also as if there are constantly very good speakers hanging all around you. Highs and basses sound insanely good, whether the sound is loud or soft. ANC is also doing a great job. In the garden, the neighbor can mow his grass with an electric lawn mower and you only realize that as soon as you turn it off.

Pairing the earbuds is also very easy. You can choose whether or not you want to let ambient sound through as soon as you start walking. The battery life is also completely fine and they charge quickly as soon as you put them in the box. The fact that the packaging is made of paper and cardboard is also pleasant for the climate and yourself.

It remains that the price is really quite a drain on your wallet. While they are fantastic, it is a very hefty price. I hope my wife doesn't lose them somewhere in the garden, because then I can probably go to the Coolblue website again! ;-)

Super and worthy successor to the WF-1000XM3

  • Excellent sound quality with good balance throughout the range
  • Balanced, non-dominant bass
  • Small with a nice fit (especially with Comply Premium Tips)
  • Hardness of the standard earplugs / eartipsTIPS

After a lot of trying and cheaper models I arrived at the WF-1000XM3's a year ago and was impressed in many ways. The size of the dishes and the lack of water resistance were points of improvement for me to look forward to this successor.

After the announcement, it was determined that the model would be adjusted on those points. I was still afraid that they would be bigger than I had hoped.

After the quick reception, thanks to the top service of Coolblue, we can conclude that the Sony WF-1000XM4s are fortunately a lot smaller than the Sony WF-1000XM3s. The ergonomic design is what you expect from a top product for a solid price. That cannot be said of the eartips that are supplied as standard. These are good quality in themselves, but I think you have to be a bit of a masochist to use them. Fortunately I had a few Comply Premium Tips lying around and now they fit like a glove, no irritation whatsoever.

Those who are familiar with the WF-1000XM3's will encounter many familiar things. A novelty is the function that you can set the music to stop when you start talking. To be honest, I quickly turned it off, but I can imagine that there are people who find it useful.

The case of the charger has been drastically reduced compared to the predecessor and therefore more in line with other models on the market. Especially nice to put them in your pocket.

Incidentally, I had stated somewhere that the case would be made of recycled material, but that turned out to be a wrong interpretation. It concerns the packaging as you buy it. Quite a "bold move" from Sony and at the same time a great initiative. The cheap-looking package the WF-1000XM4s come in is both small and somewhat cheap-looking. But clearly from recycled material and very different from what we are used to nowadays, from everything that has to look (unnecessarily) more luxurious with all the consequences for the environment and future generations. So a great step from Sony, big compliments.

In the first use they are great and already provide a lot of listening pleasure. My recommendation would be to get Comply Premium Tips in your size as standard. Perhaps Coolblue will supply them as standard again for our smile in the future, as with the WF-1000XM3s. The biggest downside is the price. I still think that premium earphones for consumers should have a maximum price of 200 euros. But partly my own fault because I couldn't wait and still paid the full whack.....

I hesitated for a long time to purchase this because I have a lot of apple products myself and airpods would therefore be a more logical choice. But using and switching between devices is quite easy and has not caused any problems so far.
