I've had my eye on the sony ones for a few months with rumours and leaks etc but now don't know if I should get them. I can get the Sennheiser momentum 2 for £169 with the student discount from the Sennheiser website as opposed to the sony xm4 at £250. It sounds like a no brainer but I need a professionals reassurance. Should I get the Sennheisers?
first time hearing this dude review something. i like his style. clear and fluent.. and he's got a chill vibe. like we could grill and have a beer on a saturday and be cool.
Thank you for doing the comparison. Can we tune the xm4 closer to Sennhesiser sound quality? I love the sound of Sennheiser but the app of Sony is the best. I am am torn between this two
thanks for the review! I missed Jim's review room for times like these and so far only you managed to actually replaced the spot for me.. keep up the good work my man!
Jeff, You are a grand slam reviewer! Awesome detailed and comprehensive flow of information. You make the best videos. Very enjoyable and interesting to sit through. You deserve 1 million plus subscribers. I've listened to all the others and you are on top. 5 stars Jeff! Truly entertaining.
You do great work, bruv. The realistic battery life testing is a big deal. Same with the detailed sound stage description. These things are priorities for me.
Sounds to me like the Sennheiser's are the way to go. The M4's seem really good but based on the call comparisons and the fact that you stated the Sennheisers ran away with the sound quality ranking, Im gonna have to go with the Momentum 2's. Thanks for this vid!
Thanks for sharing. The M4s have do a lot of things well but they fall behind on those qualities you mentioned. Hopefully with a few updates they will be able to close the gap.
Yeah ikr. Volume and sound quality is higher than the m4s and they clearly won the call quality test too. They really be competing with the new buds in market very well
You do have to keep in mind that it's the creator's opinion. His own experience of good sound likely does not match your own exactly. It's best to try out multiple options to see what you like the best.
A lot of reviewer reviewing this, yet I wait for my brother El Jefe to drop his. Cause he is the one I trust when it comes to this sort of stuffs. Loads of love.
I've always seen this channel in my search results and automatically dismissed it assuming it's some random low quality channel. But damn! This is BY FAR the highest quality and most comprehensive review I've watched for these earbuds. Instantly liked, subscribed, and turned on the notification bell! I hope you get the recognition you deserve asap! Severely underrated right now.
Thank you for the kind words. I work extremely hard to bring viewers the best experience possible while providing the necessary information they need to make a purchase decision. The recognition is highly appreciated.
Man, massive thanks for that microphone test at the end. It's so frustating that even now during covid where we spend so much time in meetings most reviewers don't bother testing the damn microphone!
Lost my WMX4. Was deciding to get them back or go for Sennheiser MTW2, two years old. Bought the Sennheisers after watching your review. First it didn't look like the sound quality is really so much better, but after few minor adjustments, man, I have to confirm, it really is! Thanks for this review, really helpful! I'm enjoying the sound so much;) great job!
The spin fit ear tips were a huge improvement for me thanks for the suggestion. Really opened up the soundstage and liveliness of the music. And much easier to put on.
Great video. The XM-4 really bring a lot to the table. What really impressed me is how much Sony has improved over the XM-3, while reducing the overall footprint. With Prime Day coming up, these may be on my radar.
@@ELJefeReviews Precisely my point. Maybe your channel name should be El Jefe de los Detalles Reviews? :D I'm glad I've stumbled upon this video and I am now subbed! Just ordered the MX4s by the way, I can't wait to get my hands on them.
Honestly, these 2 earbuds had such close reviews that I had to buy both myself to compare. In the end, I decided on the Sennheiser. It really does have a wider, deeper soundstage. The bass is much more accurate. With the most recent update to the Sennheiser's mobile app, it's much easier to tune the equalizer and therefore after tuning the equalizer, the Sennheiser sounds better. I find that the bass on the Sony only sounds good for certain songs, it misses certain bass so I don't even hear it with some songs. Best part is, the Sennheiser is now $230, so it's quite a bit cheaper than the Sony's. Only downside is that the Sennheiser is a little less loud, but this would only matter for those who prefer to listen on max volume all the time.
I'm actually about to do the same thing. I bought the Sennies yesterday, but truthfully.. they sound a bit muddy to me. Tweaking the EQ did help, but they're still lacking a certain something (punch.. kick?? Can't quite put my finger on it). They just don't kick, when music is supposed to 😕 .. I'm hoping the Sony's may deliver a bit more excitement.
@@kristineve9080 Could be bad luck with the hardware lottery. But it could also be that Sony's type of sound is what you prefer. I can't say I have experience with any wireless earbuds other than trying out some of Apple's a bit... which I found lacking. But the Sony XM3's brought a smile to my face the moment I listened to a song on it for the first time. I'm sticking with them until I feel like there's wireless earbuds available that truly outclass them for a reasonable price. Everything else out there right now still seems like an incremental upgrade. But I'm also not the type of person to replace things I spent good money on quickly (€160 or so a few years ago). I imagine in a year or 2 or 3 I'm ready to upgrade.
The volume problem with LDAC is typical; it is an LDAC thing that can be enabled or disabled on the source itself; for example, on the Sony walkman, features are available whether to raise the volume or turn it down from the receiver, in this case, the earbuds.
Thanks for such a complete review, it helped me to understand the issue about these earbuds. I bought them 3 weeks ago and almost give up trying to adjust them and get rid of the eq shifting when raising the volume beyond 65%. I followed your advice and set de codec to AAC only and it helped a lot, but I can still hear a substancial difference in treble. When raising volume beyond 65% the highs start to fade until almost disappear at 100%. Do you know about Sony having plans to solve this problem with a firmware update? Congratulations, I really enjoy your reviews, you are really El Jefe among all reviewers.
Thanks for the review. The sound quality test in different environments was very helpful and a separator for your reviews over others that I have seen. Well done. Torn between the Sennheisers and the WF1000M4s
@@ELJefeReviews Buuuuuut you literally ranked the Sennheiser's #1 in sound quality.. LOL so which is it? In this comment section youre stating the Sony's have excellent sound quality but in your vid you ranked the Sennheisers higher. And this was not the call quality comparison, this was in your sound quality rankings..
XM4 vs Bose? For me - noise cancellation is super important. I have AirPods Pro and wondering if I should just stay or make the switch to something else?
Absolutely love these buds for working in a factory and getting rid of that background noise. My only complaint is when I talk on the phone there is an audible beep feedback from the headphones.

This review is so good, thank you for comparing the call quality. Not many people do that and that's one of the most important things for me when I look for true wireless earphones. Very detailed and super helpful! Sad that these are all so expensive tho xD The only thing I don't understand is the difference from acc or ldac and the other one
Sony also seems to be on top of updating their software. Since last night, you can control the adaptive mode with actionable notifications if you want to. I also really like how I can use the Google Assistant even on iOS without a Siri detour. Overall I’ve had my XM4s for a couple of days now and I’m really happy with them.
ive been trawling the net and watched every single review on these buds. this is by far the most comprehensive review ive watched. i especially was looking for information on weather you can change the controls from one to the other as i only use one bud at a time and this is the only video (9.35) thats shows that you can. great review. thanks! ill be buying them tomorrow.
I came here after flossys video and I gotta say I've never seen such a detailed breakdown of a product. Exactly what I needed to solidify my purchase. 🔥 video.
I know your review is 3 months old now but just wanted to say I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. This really helped me out in choosing which earbuds to get. I was dead set on getting the XM4s but after watching your review, I switched to the Senns. I get it this Friday and looking forward to it!
Amazing review and so thorough. Gained my subscription. I listen to Rock, alternative rock, rap and instrumentals. Really confused if to pick the Sony XM4 or the the Sennheiser... The only thing holding me back is the battery life tbh with the Sennheiser. You have anything to say in regards to that? Thanks!
Battery life is the biggest weak point on the Sennheiser. So it’s a trade off. Only you can decide if the increase in sound quality is worth the loss of battery life.
As far as I'm concerned the battery life is many times longer than I'd be comfortable wearing earbuds in the first place. Even if I used them at work in a loud factory, I'd still remove them and put them in the charger to take a lunch break.
Thanks for your review. I just purchased the sennheiser with sound/bass being my main focus. I'm satisfied after watching your video. I'll stick with these
Bro you absolutely did not have to do a breakdown like this but damn! I respect you so much for it by far the best video i have ever seen about these sony earbuds incredible work thank you! Gonna go get me a pair now 👍
@@ELJefeReviews sony must fix that sir coz its really annoying hoping soon they will fix that in an firmware update thats the reason i bought the soundcore liberty 3 pro and its amazing treble sound and volume but sony is natural sound i guess thanks sir.
This video was EXACTLY what I needed. Your comparisons where the best I've seen and helped me make the decision to purchase The Sony WF-1000XM4. Impressive video for sure! UPDATE: I used your link to purchase them via Amazon. Thank you again for this helpful video!
Aprreciate the honesty man. Why is there so much hype on these earbuds? I purchased them and they don't come close to the quality sound on high volume to the liberty 3 pro, the cx plus sound better. I don't understand how is top 5 all over TH-cam. Definitely top 10 but not 5. I return them and got another pair of liberty and bought the cx plus.
@@vacowboy75 Tough to say as the XM4s have replaced the Momentum 2 TWS as my daily driver currently. I do reach for them occasionally to do some comparisons here and there. The biggest difference is the sound stage from the TWS 2s, with the high end audio tuning it makes it even more wider than it was without it enabled and it does crispen up the vocals and separate the instruments somewhat. In terms of sound quality they are both good in their own ways, might have to start swapping them every other day to see what really makes one better than the other. ANC and Ambient mode hands down are better on the XM4s, 2 extra mics per bud makes a difference.
I really wanna get these, just not sure I'll get on with the fit with them being relatively bulky. Fit wise, I am loving the Liberty Air 2 Pro. Great video as always.
Love the review - thank you. LDAC > DSEE, you shouldn't need to have DSEE if listening to lossless and LDAC is enabled. not sure how this relates to your volume issues though.
Gave a like just for the transparent intro itself. Set the stage for the rest of the video and the professionalism was continued, and even increased throughtout! Great job
11:31 I absolutely DIED at "dummy quiet" 😂 great review dude, just subscribed! I couldn't decide between these or the Galaxy Bud Pros But seeing that these have nearly all of their features plus superior noise cancellation, fit, and audio I'm DEFINITELY going with these!🔥
I love my Sony XM4s until I saw the reviews comparing and testing it against the Bose QC Airbuds and the Bose seemed much better at ANC and call quality during noisy backgrounds. Would you be comparing the Sony's next to the Bose anytime soon?
Excellent review. Really great video, nice to see other companies improving their wireless earbuds to give apple some actual competition. For me, me all time most listened music gotta be Metal, Hip Hop and Lofi
great work dude, just searching for this comparison, testing testing 1 2 3;) I choose Sennheiser's as the sound quality is the best, too much ANC isn't too good to me - making me feel alienation
Best review of xm4 on TH-cam so far, I've the MTW 2 and pre-ordered the xm4, may I know if it's possible to adjust the EQ of xm4 to make it similar to MTW 2 sound tuning? And may I know if the volume issue exists if only LDAC is enabled without DSEE?
I was going to go for the bowers and Wilkins p17 for sheer sound quality. However the fact they don't have an eq was a complete deal breaker and I went with these. Now I don't know if the sound on the bowers is better? But boy oh boy these are absolutely fantastic in every way. They absolutely smash my airpods pro in sound quality and ANC! They smash my galaxy buds pro in sound as well. They're on a par if not slightly better than my brother's Senheisser momentum 2s! And you can play around with the eq which imo Sony's is the best out there. It actually makes a huge difference to the sound you hear unlike others that literally make no difference. In short I'm.glas I picked these. If the bowers do sound better then they must be using some form of magic!!! Trust me the sound of these Sony's are out of this world. They're compatible to over hear headphones and good ones at that.
Thanks for this video i orderer xm4 i.m jumping to it from Samsung buds 2 it's going to be big jump your video gave me clear answers to my questions Thanks buddy
WOW, thank you very much for the thorough review! Im in the market for a new pair of earphones after daily driving different pairs of Raycon's for 4 years. Using them everyday in a warehouse... I am specifically looking for a comfortable bud- why Ive stuck with Raycon for so long- that also has a quality voice pass through to hear the people around me while i"m working... Took 10 reviews to get here but very glad I found your video.
Best review I’ve watched so far. Good job. I recently got the Earfun Free Pros which I feel have really impressive sound out of the box. How would you compare the sound to those? I know ANC will be much better on the Sony’s - but I was wondering if the sound signature would be comparable at all?
Apologies for missing this question. I believe the EarFun Free Pro can easily compete with the XM4 and in certain cases defeat them for sound quality. Sadly, both the ANC and Ambient modes on the EFP cannot match the XM4.
For comfort, don’t be afraid to try Sony’s own silicone ear tips from the XM3. They’re about $3 from Sony directly. The noise isolation is NOT much different at all. I personally cannot really tell if there is a difference, actually. However, I have now, several days over the past week or so, worn the XM4s from 9am or thereabouts until they ran out of juice around 6pm or so. Actually, they didn’t die, but they were at 7% so I gave them a rest. There was no itching, like the stock XM4 tips cause a little bit, and I did not need to pull them out for a rest at all.
I got the xm4 just after Christmas this year and I have to say I was astounded by the adio quality it’s amazing but most of all the anc it’s just super
I just got these yesterday, and the sound is just n another level from others they sound sooo good, on all genres. Now thats the good thing, fit is good as well, BUT if you have iphone the convinience of the m1 chip is just to much of a big factor. Atleast for me. I love the sound of these, amazing sound. But I will be returning them just cuz the beats fit pro go better with my phone and the sound is also good.
Im gonna update this and Say, These xm4s sound soo good, i said Fudge the apple eco system and went to get them again, with not a single regret love the sound

@@cristianchelaru8053 yes, some might find that crispy highs uncomfortable
I think the DSEE and LDAC volume issue has to do with the earbuds not wanting to play a distorted sound. Just a theory…
You could be correct. I simply do not know.
I suspect that DSEE+LDAC draw more power. Higher the volume also draw more power. The limit could be battery protection to prevent over drawn.
👀 I enjoyed your thorough review. I listen to R & B, Classic Rock and Easy Listening. Blessings on your day!
Thank you! You too!
I came here after flossys video and I gotta say I've never seen such a detailed breakdown of a product. Exactly what I needed to solidify my purchase. 🔥 video.
Glad it was helpful!
Sony mic needs some software updates to improve the clarity
Agreed!
@@ELJefeReviews has that happened in the past where software updates are able to accomplish this?
yes but IMO it also cuts out the Ambient crowd noise the best. Airpod just plug them in together
The microphone is very disappointing. Hope they can solve it as I have high hopes for these earbuds.
@@Urbantrow Yes would love an answer for this - Do Sony do software updates often to rectify things?
I know your review is 3 months old now but just wanted to say I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. This really helped me out in choosing which earbuds to get. I was dead set on getting the XM4s but after watching your review, I switched to the Senns. I get it this Friday and looking forward to it!
Glad I could help!
which ones are the best ?
On my 1more neckband Ldac burns through battery twice as fast. It's worth the trade off though most of the time, depending on use case.b
I hear you on that!
Amazing review and so thorough. Gained my subscription. I listen to Rock, alternative rock, rap and instrumentals. Really confused if to pick the Sony XM4 or the the Sennheiser... The only thing holding me back is the battery life tbh with the Sennheiser. You have anything to say in regards to that? Thanks!
Battery life is the biggest weak point on the Sennheiser. So it’s a trade off. Only you can decide if the increase in sound quality is worth the loss of battery life.
As far as I'm concerned the battery life is many times longer than I'd be comfortable wearing earbuds in the first place. Even if I used them at work in a loud factory, I'd still remove them and put them in the charger to take a lunch break.
God bless u man. Awesome review. Kind music anything with heavy metal, rock and any song with plenty basses. Stay healty and happy man
Thank you! Likewise.
Been waiting for this since I saw your comment on Flossy's video. 😀
Good one Jeff! 💪🏻
These look like a nice upgrade over the XM3.
Right on! Thanks for coming through.
Thanks for your review. I just purchased the sennheiser with sound/bass being my main focus. I'm satisfied after watching your video. I'll stick with these
Good choice my dude!
Bro you absolutely did not have to do a breakdown like this but damn! I respect you so much for it by far the best video i have ever seen about these sony earbuds incredible work thank you! Gonna go get me a pair now 👍
Thank you!
You always come thru every time respect man
Thank you!
I really like their design! Jefe how do these compare to the 1more anc in terms of sound quality and anc?
Thanks for another great review!!!
The 1More have a smoother sound signature but can't match the volume, ANC, battery, and pretty much everything else.
@@ELJefeReviews Jefe I really really appreciate that you take the time to answer our questions! Have a nice week!!!
Yes sir also experienced the volume when you go up 80-100 percent the bass and treble will automatically reduced.
Such a strange issue.
@@ELJefeReviews sony must fix that sir coz its really annoying hoping soon they will fix that in an firmware update thats the reason i bought the soundcore liberty 3 pro and its amazing treble sound and volume but sony is natural sound i guess thanks sir.
thank you for the EXTENSIVE comparison and lengthy review. As soon as they dip at all on price or I can get a sale price, I'm jumping for them.
Patience is a good strategy!
This video was EXACTLY what I needed. Your comparisons where the best I've seen and helped me make the decision to purchase The Sony WF-1000XM4. Impressive video for sure! UPDATE: I used your link to purchase them via Amazon. Thank you again for this helpful video!
Glad I could help!
Great review as always, enjoying the XM4’s and I appreciate your insight to the app usage. Have a great one El Jefe!
Thanks, you too!
Dude that's one of the most thorough and methodical reviews I've ever seen for any piece of tech that's not a car. Super useful.
Glad you found it useful!🙏🏼
Aprreciate the honesty man. Why is there so much hype on these earbuds? I purchased them and they don't come close to the quality sound on high volume to the liberty 3 pro, the cx plus sound better. I don't understand how is top 5 all over TH-cam. Definitely top 10 but not 5. I return them and got another pair of liberty and bought the cx plus.
Most people who say these are the best are the same type of people who haven’t actually tested many other earbuds outside of Sony and Apple.
I have been using the Momentum 2 TWS without the high end tuning all this time, wow does it make a difference.
It's legit!
I use tws 2 with player pro dsp pack equalizer tuning and it does make a big difference
Based on your experience with the Momentum 2 TWS, would you recommend them over the Sony XM4s?
@@vacowboy75 Tough to say as the XM4s have replaced the Momentum 2 TWS as my daily driver currently. I do reach for them occasionally to do some comparisons here and there. The biggest difference is the sound stage from the TWS 2s, with the high end audio tuning it makes it even more wider than it was without it enabled and it does crispen up the vocals and separate the instruments somewhat. In terms of sound quality they are both good in their own ways, might have to start swapping them every other day to see what really makes one better than the other. ANC and Ambient mode hands down are better on the XM4s, 2 extra mics per bud makes a difference.
With the high end tuning, it sounds more detailed. I turned it on and never turned it back off
I really wanna get these, just not sure I'll get on with the fit with them being relatively bulky. Fit wise, I am loving the Liberty Air 2 Pro. Great video as always.
Thanks bro! These aren’t really a good fit for people with smaller ears.
wow that live test made yours the best review that I've seen so far. well done
Glad you liked it!
First listen to you man. Your voice and content is great. Subbed.
I appreciate that!
I tend to listen to a lot of down tempo/deep house and audio books daily,,, I think I need to try these???
Right on!
Love the review - thank you. LDAC > DSEE, you shouldn't need to have DSEE if listening to lossless and LDAC is enabled. not sure how this relates to your volume issues though.
It’s not related. It appears to be an issue when using custom EQ settings. If I leave the EQ set to “Off”, there are no more volume issues.
Such detailed comparison. Watched the entire 22minutes long video and subscribed :)
Looking forward to more reviews!
I appreciate your support. I released and additional 11 reviews since this video was released. Plenty more coming as well.
Gave a like just for the transparent intro itself. Set the stage for the rest of the video and the professionalism was continued, and even increased throughtout! Great job
I appreciate your kind words.🙏🏼
11:31 I absolutely DIED at "dummy quiet" 😂 great review dude, just subscribed! I couldn't decide between these or the Galaxy Bud Pros But seeing that these have nearly all of their features plus superior noise cancellation, fit, and audio I'm DEFINITELY going with these!🔥
Ayyeee! Thats the best way to describe the prowess of the ANC here!😂
Sennheiser/Sony
Which of the two is more compatible with the iPhone?(sound Quality)
Both are equally compatible with iPhone. Same as any other bluetooth headphones outside of Apple's own products.
My concert was, how about its latency when it comes to gaming? Iphones wanted to remove everything from their units to make more space for batteries!
Agree with most of comments. Best (detailed) review on this product I've seen. Glasses indoors though 😎
You're goddamn right!😎
Subscribed 😎 !
I'll go get my glasses.
Amazing presentation man, the most clear and informative review i've ever seen, SUBSCRIBED !!!
Thank you!
I love my Sony XM4s until I saw the reviews comparing and testing it against the Bose QC Airbuds and the Bose seemed much better at ANC and call quality during noisy backgrounds. Would you be comparing the Sony's next to the Bose anytime soon?
Absolutely!
Great review Jeff. Thank you for bringing these! I'm definitely getting these I was just waiting on your review
Glad I could help!
Wow! Was not prepared for the level of detail in this review. Thanks for this! ✌️😎
Very welcome!🙏🏼
The production on this video is amazing!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent review. Really great video, nice to see other companies improving their wireless earbuds to give apple some actual competition. For me, me all time most listened music gotta be Metal, Hip Hop and Lofi
Couldn't agree more!
Phenomenal. Great content, pace, tonality... Just a great job. Ty
Thank you for the kind words!🙏🏼
great work dude, just searching for this comparison, testing testing 1 2 3;)
I choose Sennheiser's as the sound quality is the best, too much ANC isn't too good to me - making me feel alienation
Glad I could help!
This is the best review among all the ones I watched for the xm4. You answered all of my questions, some of which are honestly kinda nitpicky.
Glad I could help!
For smaller ears ( I always use xs ear tips), which one do you think fit the best, and the second. Thank you!
The Sennheiser's sound quality is Amazing! EL Jefe ***EXCELLENT review as always my Brother! Blessings***
Thanks you bro!
Awesome review. I love that you sectioned the video on different topic and I could cursor over to the relevant ones.
Glad it was helpful!
GREAT REVIEW!! I'm getting a pair d Sennhiheiser Momentum 2!!! Thanks
Glad I could help!
Best review of xm4 on TH-cam so far, I've the MTW 2 and pre-ordered the xm4, may I know if it's possible to adjust the EQ of xm4 to make it similar to MTW 2 sound tuning? And may I know if the volume issue exists if only LDAC is enabled without DSEE?
1. No. I tried to bring more balance to the sound but the bass is still too strong.
2. Still happens with or without DSEE.
So which one do you like best the XM4 or the MTW 2?
I was going to go for the bowers and Wilkins p17 for sheer sound quality. However the fact they don't have an eq was a complete deal breaker and I went with these. Now I don't know if the sound on the bowers is better? But boy oh boy these are absolutely fantastic in every way. They absolutely smash my airpods pro in sound quality and ANC! They smash my galaxy buds pro in sound as well. They're on a par if not slightly better than my brother's Senheisser momentum 2s! And you can play around with the eq which imo Sony's is the best out there. It actually makes a huge difference to the sound you hear unlike others that literally make no difference. In short I'm.glas I picked these. If the bowers do sound better then they must be using some form of magic!!! Trust me the sound of these Sony's are out of this world. They're compatible to over hear headphones and good ones at that.
Thanks for this video i orderer xm4 i.m jumping to it from Samsung buds 2 it's going to be big jump your video gave me clear answers to my questions
Thanks buddy
Glad I could help.
WOW, thank you very much for the thorough review! Im in the market for a new pair of earphones after daily driving different pairs of Raycon's for 4 years. Using them everyday in a warehouse... I am specifically looking for a comfortable bud- why Ive stuck with Raycon for so long- that also has a quality voice pass through to hear the people around me while i"m working... Took 10 reviews to get here but very glad I found your video.
Glad I could help!
@@ELJefeReviews my main skepticism was the foam tip, glad you mentioned the “spin fit cp360” thanks again man.
Nice review, and super detailed as well. Liking the look on these vs the prev.
Thank you bro! Me too.
How the Anc, Transparansy &, SQ compare to 1more ComfoBuds Pro ?
ANC: Sony
Transparency: Sony
Sound: Different. Winner is determined by your own preference.
Great review, I just ordered them today I'm looking forward to getting them I listen to rock, metal, pop and electronic
Hope you enjoy it!
Dang, what a comprehensive and helpful review! Even if I buy these, I will want to refer back to this review for tips. Thanks for it.
You are very welcome! Also, thank you for the compliment.
Best review I’ve watched so far. Good job. I recently got the Earfun Free Pros which I feel have really impressive sound out of the box. How would you compare the sound to those? I know ANC will be much better on the Sony’s - but I was wondering if the sound signature would be comparable at all?
Apologies for missing this question. I believe the EarFun Free Pro can easily compete with the XM4 and in certain cases defeat them for sound quality. Sadly, both the ANC and Ambient modes on the EFP cannot match the XM4.
For comfort, don’t be afraid to try Sony’s own silicone ear tips from the XM3. They’re about $3 from Sony directly. The noise isolation is NOT much different at all. I personally cannot really tell if there is a difference, actually. However, I have now, several days over the past week or so, worn the XM4s from 9am or thereabouts until they ran out of juice around 6pm or so. Actually, they didn’t die, but they were at 7% so I gave them a rest. There was no itching, like the stock XM4 tips cause a little bit, and I did not need to pull them out for a rest at all.
Great tip!
I got the xm4 just after Christmas this year and I have to say I was astounded by the adio quality it’s amazing but most of all the anc it’s just super
Glad you're enjoying them.
My man you're doin a great job here, also your voice is soothing
Glad you think so!
As always! One of the best earbud reviews! No one can compete with your reviews.
Thanks homie!🙏🏼
I just got these yesterday, and the sound is just n another level from others they sound sooo good, on all genres. Now thats the good thing, fit is good as well, BUT if you have iphone the convinience of the m1 chip is just to much of a big factor. Atleast for me. I love the sound of these, amazing sound. But I will be returning them just cuz the beats fit pro go better with my phone and the sound is also good.
Fair enough! The Beats are surprisingly good.
Im gonna update this and Say, These xm4s sound soo good, i said Fudge the apple eco system and went to get them again, with not a single regret love the sound
I got mine yesterday worth every penny the best purchase I've ever had I had galaxy buds plus before
Nice!
