The Sony WF-1000XM4 provides the most immersive listening experience of any earbuds I tested, thanks to a blend of outstanding noise cancellation, digital audio upscaling and customizable listening options. With their compact, stemless design, these wireless earbuds are also extra comfortable. These earbuds have a better selection of features than even their more expensive competitors, and provide maximum customization for your listening experience-whether you’re playing music or participating in hands-free phone calls. Not every brand’s digital audio processing features actually improve the sound, but Sony’s Bass Boost and Speech Mode presets dramatically improved my listening experience while listening to highly-produced pop music or calling friends. Sony’s mobile app was one of the easiest to use when it came to to controlling the earbuds and matching the settings with what I was listening to-not something every competitor offers. The WF-1000XM4s can automatically pause your audio when you start talking with a feature called Speak-to-Chat (you can disable it if you prefer).
They also have a handful of listening mode presets, such as Treble Boost, Bass Boost and Speech. The hot new thing in audio is spatial audio with head tracking, which lets you feel surrounded by audio as if you were in a concert hall. The WF-1000XM4 includes spatial audio, with a catch. But rather than using Dolby Atmos, it has proprietary tech that only unlocks on certain tracks when you pay for a subscription-based streaming service like Tidal. I definitely noticed a dramatic improvement in audio quality when listening to the same music on Tidal versus Apple Music and Spotify.
But to get this feature, you need to pay extra. Thanks to superb digital audio processing, the WF-1000XM4 offered the best listening experience.
The WF-1000XM4s automatically restore high-range sound lost in compression and you can really tell a difference when listening to music-most other wireless earbuds don’t have this feature.
