… Why does this man only have 7.7k subscribers…I’ve watched over 20 reviews and this is one of the only comprehensive, informed ones. Excellent quality. No aspects left behind by the reviewer. Props.
I have waited for this, the best rewiever on all of TH-cam hands down, love your videos, and you are so helpful with giving feedback to your audience😄❤️
@@AndysTechTone this is by far the best review for the Sony wf-1000xm4 but which do you think is better Microsoft surface earbuds or wf-1000 xm4 and why
Been watching/waiting for your review of the new Sony's. As always, a straightforward review. As others have said, your reviews are informative, professional and comprehensive -- a source I can trust. Thank you!
I really appreciate your extrem honest reviews, many thanks for that. What I would like to know, is the difference of the sound quality, comparing the XM4 against the M&D MW08, which you already have reviewed as well.
You have the most professional / comprehensive wireless buds review on TH-cam ! Simply the best ! Thanks for helping me to make my decision on wireless buds 💪💪💪
I really enjoy your reviews Andy. Great detail with nice video displays of controls, etc. Also, we all have different ear shapes and that affects fit. Unlike some other reviewers, you acknowledge that point and as opposed to saying, "These are a lousy fit.", you acknowledge the uniquest in your ears. Great reviews, thanks for sharing.
That's worrying actually that you said the Sony XM4s were the loudest of the bunch. I recently bought the XM4s and returned them in a day when I found the max volume quite low. Maybe I like my music loud but it felt very boring to listen to. I currently listen to Galaxy Buds Live and while the XM4s have an infinitely better sound and ANC, I just get underwhelmed by the max volume. I don't feel the music, it's just there. The max volume of the XM4s is like 80% volume of the Galaxy Buds Live. And this review says that the other earphones are less louder than the XM4s That's a bit worrying. I saw another review on TH-cam and even confirmed with the reviewer that the PI7s are definitely louder than the XM4s. Which is true. All in all very good and informative review. You have a new subscribera
Wow, this is how people should do a review. Also that button feature is nice to know. I keep on always comparing my Galaxy Buds+ to other earbuds especially the functionality where you can control volume, ambient sound, play, pause, skip track, go back track and also open spotify through just a tap of the buds. Not to mention the long battery life. Sure it doesn't have an ANC, but passive noise cancelation makes up for it and when you turn the volume up you can barely here anything. Call quality is good too. Decent bass as well. Now I'm looking for a new replacement but can't find one with the same features, but I'm eyeing on this XM4 by Sony. Unfortunately the call quality sucks and I do decent amount of calls everyday. I guess you can't have them all.
I never had a chance to A/B test the XM4 and the Airpods Pro but the Sony buds can beat the Apple buds in most areas except for their comfort maybe. But in terms functionality, ANC and sound quality the XM4 is the clear winner. Unless you are an avid Apple user because then the Airpods Pro can still offer some features that might make them a better choice.
I don't always agree with your opinions on some of the earbuds you review, as sound is highly subjective, but I must say that I really do enjoy the content you give us & the quality reviews. You make great videos & I'll certainly stay subscribed to keep watching. Thanks for the great content
Thanks, much appreciated. Sound is indeed a matter of personal taste and experience. Also the fit and even the source can have a huge impact on what we hear in our earbuds. That's way too many variables...
@@AndysTechTone you're absolutely right. I just like the fact that we can all agree on one thing... great sounding music. That's what matters to me the most
Very informative and beautiful video review. Wow, Andy! What amazing production values. Stunning camera work to go along with the thorough and well presented viewpoints on the XM4 buds. Appreciate so much the care you put into your videos. Bravo!
I agree... It was what I was thinking during the first few minutes of this review. Also liked the negative points and how it's worded with personal preferences vs impact for other users (which they may like or non-issue), if you see what I mean.
first of all, thank you for all the insightful videos. I think I will wait for the JayBird Vista 2 review, as I believe for now I am leaning towards them, as I am looking for something to use on everyday as well as working out.
Dear Andy thanks a bunch for this very informative, interesting and professional review of the "Sony Mark 4". I have to confess, even though it’s very embarrassing that I haven’t used the Mark4 until now. And more than a week ago, I‘ve received them. It’s because what You‘ve mentioned in Your review, about which of the eartips to use. What really IMPRESSED ME THE MOST, that You‘ve emphasized the issue with the limited control-possibilities. I really hope, that Sony listens and will change that with a future firmware-update. Have a blessed weekend Greetings from Helvetia 🇨🇭
Thanks for Your reply. That’s not that easy, to get here in Switzerland. I could buy a pair for about 25 $, but that’s too much to pay. When I try them on, I just don’t know which of them are better.
Me too, otherwise will these earbuds laying around on a shelf, but that’s NOT why I‘ve bought them for a very heavy prize. This weekend, I‘m gonna try the different eartips. Last question: I guess that the music needs to be playing, while trying the different eartips? To hear which eartip seals the most. Thank You so much, for Your kind help. Wish You and Your family stay healthy and have a relaxing weekend together
@@andrejstemmle606 You better play some music with constant bass to hear if you loose some of it between trying the different tips. Also, you can try the sound leak test in the Headphones app, it might help you too. Ohh and you can always send them back and get a refund if nothing works...
Great review! Would have been interesting to see your opinion, if trying out your everyday Jaybird ear-tips on the XM4s to get a more comfortable fit worked well. Love the look of these things. Can't believe it doesn't have multi-point Bluetooth connect though!
Thanks, glad you like it 😎 Don't know what you mean by Jaybird eartips but you could try (almost) any eartips with (almost) any earbuds, I don't see the point. I tested the XM4 as they come in the box and I wasn't happy with their new foam tips. I'm sure they are comfortable with any regular tips. I wasn't sure about the look at first but it kind of grows on you, so yeah, I like them too. Regarding multipoint. Are there any earbuds other than Jabra which actually have proper multipoint use? I see everybody is complaining about the omission of the feature but I don't see any other manufacturer doing it either.
@@AndysTechTone This is my first pair of ANC earbuds. I have had over-the-ear ANC headphones. I got these because of needing to be walking around and be on the phone. I like the sound as the sound signature fits the type of music that I listen to. The mic is fine but I was expecting a little bit better noise filtering. I have been experiencing a bit of interference whenever I have my phone in my back pocket. That kind of brings up my question, would BT 5.2 be that much better over BT 5.0? My current phone only supports 5.0
Very professional review..no idea how, for example, Flossy Carter has 200x as many subs and views with basically a camera trained on the buds, a cat and not even 10% of the info in this review. I estimate this must have taken 2-3 8h 'working' days to put together..like the outdoor scenes too..now you can enjoy some fresh air and exercise :-)
I'm still fairly new to this game so subscribers will come eventually. Flossy Carter is a well established channel and he is a loveable character, very entertaining. I'm different but that's all good. Plenty room for everyone here on TH-cam 😎

I mean, Flossy is a completely different type of youtuber/reviewer. He's more of an entertainer while Andy here seems more like a real reviewer with a more professional aesthetic. Flossy has a bit of rough charm and he makes reviews that are easy even for the "normies" to understand. I also like his just super simple setup too with just a table, the products, and White Shoes! I don't go for him to know much of the technical or musical abilities of a headphone, but he usually does rate earbuds pretty fairly, and he doesn't only like bass cannons (he had the Technics AZ70 pretty high on his list even though they're more clean and somewhat neutral) despite being a bass head. I think there's room for both styles on youtube and I hope that Andy can grow to the numbers that Flossy have and more, but I still feel like Flossy deserves the subscribers he has and I don't find it strange that people find his style appealing.
Very good review I'm seeking a pair of true wireless earbuds for sport(running, swimming & cycling), have you try Sony WF-SP900? any review? any recommendation? Thanks!
@Andy's Tech Tone thanks a lot for your quick answer! I saw your videos about waterproof earbuds and which one we can use for swimming but unfortunately i cant found them in my country expect for jbl
@@Wolfiie95 the Xtrainerz is now called Shokz Openswim and I believe the Sony is discontinued already. But if you need one, the JBL is still a decent option
The hardest thing is finding a store that sells these. Best buy seems to be sold out most places, and that's the only store to find them in the US. Gotta stick to online ordering I guess
Will the wings from the sp800 fit the xm4? I had the xm3 and loved them, but I hate earbuds that don’t have wings or fins to hold them in my ears. The Bose have the exact fit I would want, but that case is ridiculously large. Great review
I'm interested in why you would keep the XM4s out of the gym over the Jaybirds. My use cases are noise office and working out trying to get one that does it all.
The fit is not perfect in my ears with the XM4. Otherwise they are perfectly capable of handling some workouts. But the Jaybirds were basically designed to be used for exercise. Perfect fit, comfort, size, durability etc. But that's just me.
I was wondering if anyone have problem with the wf-1000xm4? Mine have an issue where when eq from the headphone connect app is on, everytime the volume is cranked up above 70% the sound became muffled. Wondering if anyone have the same problem?
oh man thx for the review and im realy strugle to pick between BOSE and SONY i know BOSE get more comfort and ANC but lacks of skip track back and huge charging case is realy painful is that ANC between these 2 are tie at traffic or subway ?
@@AndysTechTone they were great beyond that. I even bought and returned them twice just to make sure that it wasn't just me lol. I ran in them once and I couldn't get over them slapping me in my ear every step I took lol
You mentioned that you would not use these in the gym (Sony) because you prefer the Jaybird Vista 2 for working out. But being that I can only purchase one and not both. Would it be okay to use the Sony in the gym for lifting weights? I typically use my earbuds for the office, calls, flights, and listing to music at home primarily. So I can justify making two purchases.
The XM4 are very good all rounders so you can use them in the gym as long as the fit is snug enough in your ears. If not, then you can still buy some Comply foam tips to make them work during exercise
Could you tell me which one is more suitable for listening to heavy metal? i have momentum 2.0 and i love the sound of it but i would like to try some of these.
I don't think switching from the Momentum 2s is worth it, especially if you're happy with their sound. That is unless you want bloated bass but not sure if heavy metal would benefit much from such a shift in sound. Regarding the Devialet, yeah it would be nice to test it, but cannot promise anything...
Would these stay in your ears during a workout I am trying to decide wether to get these for better sound or the vista 2 since they are more of a workout pair whatever I will use for everything including everyday and workouts
They might fit in your ears better than they do in mine. But I just got some Comply foam tips and it improves their fit big time in my ears and now it's tight enough for running
These are superior to the SP800N in almost every way. If you find the fit secure enough with these (which I didn't) than pick the XM4 as they are probably the best general purpose buds. If you want something for workouts only, you should still go with the SP800 though. Especially now, as they must be heavily discounted
@@AndysTechTone awesome, another question, in the review my biggest fear is sweat. As I do tend to sweat a good amount, your recommendations on the XM4?
Honestly, I'm not sure how the foam tips handle sweat. Silicone eartips are much better in that regard so even if you buy the XM4 I suggest you get some silicone tips as well to use them in the gym or for running
I have used the wf-sp800ns for over a year now and they have a base Heavy sound. Also i would not recommend them as a everyday pair of earbuds, since the case is huge, and the buds is too big to both stay in the ears, Even though you have the wingtips. If you are going for training earbuds, i would look somwhere else 😊
I got them at least a week later than anybody else even though I pre-ordered the XM4 on the day of the announcement (11th June). The buds must be out of stock at this stage in some places hence the delay.
Just bought the Sony’s , I will be getting them tomorrow. I think I made the right decision. I also returned my air pods pros yesterday jajaja , they are lame in sound quality
Update: I tried them out and overall I’m pleased with them happy with my purchase . The sound default setting sounds good definitely worth a upgrade if you have like apple AirPods Pro or galaxy buds. But the awesome and amazing sound is when you can adjust it your liking more bass, or treble or less and more voice , whatever you want 😃! I change it when I’m listening to music as opposed to when I am watching a show or a movie . Really think that features goes a long way. Now the noise canceling is without a doubt superior really good Bose and these are head to head it all will come down to your environmental surroundings. They also of 360 sound so basically like AirPods have the spatial mode well these have 360 sound . Overall I can see how these are the whole package and I don’t need to worry about another pair for the next maybe 3 years or idk each year there’s something new 😂👍
Great review! The Sonys definitely offer a lot in terms of features, sound and tech, but I fear they're likely going to be very uncomfortable for my ears. They look like they're too big and will probably put pressure on my ears and make them ache after half an hour at most, plus you mentioned the polyurethane tips also gave you discomfort, which will most likely be the same for me as I bought a pair of Shure SE215 in the past and never again used them because of their shape which put pressure on my ears and hurt after about 10-15 minutes and the same tips as the sony were very uncomfortable. With that said, why are you always saying no? It's like your head is on a swivel lol.
@@AndysTechTone Yeah I’m sure that would definitely fix that part of the issue, but they’re still too big for my ears sadly :(. They’d be an absolute buy for me if they weren’t so large, because I know the size is most likely going to put pressure in my ear and cause pain in no time. Yeah, you do swivel your head a lot, it was a little distracting when watching your first reviews, but now I’ve watched a few and I’m used to it 😂. I don’t mean to be critical or anything, we all have our “flow”. Was just making an observation. Keep those good reviews coming, and I also hope you got that health thing figured out 👍🏽.
I just got a set of Azla Sedna crystal eartips for these. I think I’m also in between small and medium default tips. I picked the small-medium set they offer and they are so much more comfortable yet seals just as well. Expensive at $20 but liked everything else on these earbuds besides the tip fit.
I listen to rock genre, or instrumental, and a bit of bass needed songs which one will you prefer on me? Sennheiser momentum true wireless 2 or sony xm4s?
@@kunalsharma2098 All I can say is that I prefer the Sennheiser sound by default but both can be heavily EQd. But if you watched my video I talked about the differences there already
I don't know yet, honestly. I haven't been able to do any sort of exercise for more than a week now and I don't want to review the Vista 2 without at least running and working out once. So how about some patience...
Hum 🤔 I think the Xm3 with the same tips will do almost as well. Not really any great improvements except the design, and I don't think it's worth $100 difference. In my opinion, the mountain 🗻 to give birth to a mouse🐁. In 2021 high-end earbuds without gaming mode or APTX ADAPTIVE, with average pickups voice and especially without multi-points are not worth 250 - 300$. At this price everything must be almost perfect which in my opinion is not the case here. Just my opinion 🙏🏽. And still speedy recovery 🙏🏽.
Yeah, they are packed with smart features yet everyone complains about what's missing. We won't see aptX on a Sony product any soon, that's a fact. And I don't know any other earbuds that have proper multipoint use other than Jabra. Apple and Samsung products work within their own respective ecosystems only, so those don't count. Or at least I count them out. Noise cancelling is amongst the best on the XM4 with or without the foam tips. So is battery life. What I don't like that much are the controls, the fit and the sound but everything is customisable to the teeth... It's impossible to please everyone and Sony knows that. Well, even I know that! Under my LifeQ35 review everyone asked me about the XM4 review. Now it's out and they started to ask me about the Vista 2... 😁 That's the game we're playing 😎
@@AndysTechTone it is clear that it is complicated, or even impossible to find perfect earbuds, but I think that the closest to this are the Huawei Freebuds Pro.

@@AndysTechTone how is the pi 5 compared to these sound wise
The PI5 have a warm sound with massive bass and smooth treble which is rolled off a bit too soon. Mids and vocals could be a tad more forward too.
@@AndysTechTone this is by far the best review for the Sony wf-1000xm4 but which do you think is better Microsoft surface earbuds or wf-1000 xm4 and why

Wow sir 👏. What a nice detailed review.. i am so glad i subscribed.. Now i don't know which of this earbuds i wanna buy 😫..
Always happy to help 😁
Thanks, was looking forward to this.
Me too, believe me 😎
@@AndysTechTone
The call quality is not very good
Can you advise me which is better this one or sennheiser wireless true 2
@@mr.casanova7145 Comparison coming soon...
@@AndysTechTone 👍👍
Absolutely fantastic review!
Thank you 👍
What's about Momentum 2 vs Gemini ?
Great review
Cheers man 👍
you should try silicon ear tips for xm4
THE BEST REVIEW ON TH-cam!
Glad you think so 😊 thanks for watching 👍
Very good review
I'm seeking a pair of true wireless earbuds for sport(running, swimming & cycling), have you try Sony WF-SP900? any review? any recommendation? Thanks!
Your review is what I waiting for.
Delighted to hear 👍
Amazing! Thanks for your helpful channel, can we swim with mx4?
No bluetooth earbuds can be used in water. You’ll need something with built-in storage
@Andy's Tech Tone thanks a lot for your quick answer! I saw your videos about waterproof earbuds and which one we can use for swimming but unfortunately i cant found them in my country expect for jbl
@@Wolfiie95 the Xtrainerz is now called Shokz Openswim and I believe the Sony is discontinued already. But if you need one, the JBL is still a decent option
Thank you , finally a review I can trust!!!
Thanks for watching 👍
Thank you for your best review. Please amake another battle between XM4 with BWPI7.
Maybe I'll do... 😎
The hardest thing is finding a store that sells these. Best buy seems to be sold out most places, and that's the only store to find them in the US. Gotta stick to online ordering I guess
Online is the best option but always check the return policy because earbuds can be tricky sometimes
Fantastic review!!!!!
Thanks Jéan 👍
Nice review.Would you recomend the best eq setting for sony wf-sp800n that suit for every genre..
There os no such thing...but if you pull down the bass a bit and bring up the mids and high you can get better sound
Hi, Andy, How do the Sonys stack up against the Master & Dynamic MW08 in terms of sound quality? You seemed to like those buds in your review of them.
I found the MW08 darker and more relaxed at the top end which is something I prefer
BTW, many of your outdoor scenes remind me of my home here in Alaska.
I'd love to see Alaska once, it must be beautiful 😎
after having months to find the optimal EQ for the XM4, would u still say the Momentum 2 is better?
To be honest I have barely used the XM4 since the review let alone spending months trying to find the optimal EQ
Hi sir.. sound and more balance this or bose sport earbud?
Compared to Bowers & Wilkins pi7?
Buy these, they cost less
@@AndysTechTone if price doesn’t matter ? ANC of XM4 is better and sound of Pi7 shall be better but how much ? Is bass strong and deep enough ?
@@michalmatus8053 The PI7 have plenty bass for my taste, but the Sony have more impact for sure. But which one suits you? Only you can tell that.
@@AndysTechTone Thank you. Great review :)
Will the wings from the sp800 fit the xm4? I had the xm3 and loved them, but I hate earbuds that don’t have wings or fins to hold them in my ears. The Bose have the exact fit I would want, but that case is ridiculously large. Great review
The SP800N wings don't fit the XM4. I prefer using earbuds with wings myself and my favourites are the Bose Sport Earbuds in that regard.
The only drawback I see is no multipoint. Which is quite a big drawback for most.
It is a big deal for some people and I don’t understand why manufacturers keep ignoring the demand for such feature…
Why none of the reviewers are commenting about the call quality that it has zzzzz sound or far away traffic sound when you make/receive a call on XM4
Out of all the earbuds, which 2 has the most max volume?
I'm interested in why you would keep the XM4s out of the gym over the Jaybirds. My use cases are noise office and working out trying to get one that does it all.
The fit is not perfect in my ears with the XM4. Otherwise they are perfectly capable of handling some workouts. But the Jaybirds were basically designed to be used for exercise. Perfect fit, comfort, size, durability etc. But that's just me.
I just want to go for the best overall sound quality so is it fine I would go for the pi7 ? (Anc is not my priority)
Yeah, the PI7 sound better in my opinion
@@AndysTechTone but they cost so much 😭
@@Max.527 sure, they do
I was wondering if anyone have problem with the wf-1000xm4? Mine have an issue where when eq from the headphone connect app is on, everytime the volume is cranked up above 70% the sound became muffled. Wondering if anyone have the same problem?
oh man thx for the review
and im realy strugle to pick between BOSE and SONY i know BOSE get more comfort and ANC but lacks of skip track back and huge charging case is realy painful is that ANC between these 2 are tie at traffic or subway ?
With music on you'll not be able to tell the difference between the two
@@AndysTechTone thank you very much good to know that
I wish sony Gabe them some rubber ear fins so that they actually stayed in my ears
I have issues with the fit too
@@AndysTechTone they were great beyond that. I even bought and returned them twice just to make sure that it wasn't just me lol. I ran in them once and I couldn't get over them slapping me in my ear every step I took lol
@@MelloHubb I hope to see a sport version of these buds soon
Hi, whats your equaliser setting for sony wf 1000xm4?
Just pulled down the bass by a decibel or two and pushed everything from 2.5kHz up a dB
@@AndysTechTone thank you. As usual excellent quality review🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏
would like to know the sound quality compare with master dynamic mw08
Comparison is coming
@@AndysTechTone thanks for the reply!
You mentioned that you would not use these in the gym (Sony) because you prefer the Jaybird Vista 2 for working out. But being that I can only purchase one and not both. Would it be okay to use the Sony in the gym for lifting weights? I typically use my earbuds for the office, calls, flights, and listing to music at home primarily. So I can justify making two purchases.
The XM4 are very good all rounders so you can use them in the gym as long as the fit is snug enough in your ears. If not, then you can still buy some Comply foam tips to make them work during exercise
@@AndysTechTone thanks a lot for your response, and excellent content! I appreciate the response.
But how good is LDAC vs non LDAC quality?
Hey man lots of love from India... One question how's the volume on the Sennys is it lower than the Airpods pro at max volume?
I don't have the Airpods Pro anymore
@@AndysTechTone Do they sound muted at high volume like will it be plenty of enough?
I'd never listen to any earbuds at full volume and that's still plenty loud to me
@@AndysTechTone Ok and thanks for the quick responses man... Much appreciated and keep up the hard and earnest work you're doing 👍🏻
Could you tell me which one is more suitable for listening to heavy metal? i have momentum 2.0 and i love the sound of it but i would like to try some of these.
I would also like you to be able to do an analysis of the devialet gemini.
I don't think switching from the Momentum 2s is worth it, especially if you're happy with their sound. That is unless you want bloated bass but not sure if heavy metal would benefit much from such a shift in sound. Regarding the Devialet, yeah it would be nice to test it, but cannot promise anything...
Thanks for the clarification, I've read great reviews about the Gemini sound compared to Momentum 2.0, it's like a suggestion \,,/
@@Cabeludo. If only you could send me a sample I'd review it straightaway. Just kidding... 😁
I need a sample also 😁😂
hey im getting a bit off topic but i want to know your opinion on sony xba n3ap.
Unfortunately I've never had a chance to use those earphones
@@AndysTechTone thank you for the replies 👍
Can you review Marshal Mode 2?
Cannot promise anything...
Excellent job, could you review 'beats studio buds'
Sure, I could but they are not available here in Ireland yet
@@AndysTechTone okey thank you so much
Is the fit of WF-1000XM4 secure for normal gym routine and a bit of treadmill?
I believe it is, but it all depends on your ears too
Torn between Sony Xm4 and Pi7? Which one would you recommend? Thank you!
I'd probably pick the Sony just because of their better value. However the PI7 sound better and they are more comfortable too in my ears.
@@AndysTechTone thank you very much! God bless!
Would these stay in your ears during a workout I am trying to decide wether to get these for better sound or the vista 2 since they are more of a workout pair whatever I will use for everything including everyday and workouts
They might fit in your ears better than they do in mine. But I just got some Comply foam tips and it improves their fit big time in my ears and now it's tight enough for running
East or West Sennheiser MTW2 is the best 👌
Would you recommend these or the Sony WF-Sp800n. For everyday use, working out, and running :)
These are superior to the SP800N in almost every way. If you find the fit secure enough with these (which I didn't) than pick the XM4 as they are probably the best general purpose buds. If you want something for workouts only, you should still go with the SP800 though. Especially now, as they must be heavily discounted
@@AndysTechTone awesome, another question, in the review my biggest fear is sweat. As I do tend to sweat a good amount, your recommendations on the XM4?
Honestly, I'm not sure how the foam tips handle sweat. Silicone eartips are much better in that regard so even if you buy the XM4 I suggest you get some silicone tips as well to use them in the gym or for running
I have used the wf-sp800ns for over a year now and they have a base Heavy sound. Also i would not recommend them as a everyday pair of earbuds, since the case is huge, and the buds is too big to both stay in the ears, Even though you have the wingtips. If you are going for training earbuds, i would look somwhere else 😊
How do you get these so early? I ordered some on Amazon and it says it'll be released July 18th?
I got them at least a week later than anybody else even though I pre-ordered the XM4 on the day of the announcement (11th June). The buds must be out of stock at this stage in some places hence the delay.
Just bought the Sony’s , I will be getting them tomorrow. I think I made the right decision.
I also returned my air pods pros yesterday jajaja , they are lame in sound quality
I think you made the right decision too 👍
Update: I tried them out and overall I’m pleased with them happy with my purchase . The sound default setting sounds good definitely worth a upgrade if you have like apple AirPods Pro or galaxy buds. But the awesome and amazing sound is when you can adjust it your liking more bass, or treble or less and more voice , whatever you want 😃! I change it when I’m listening to music as opposed to when I am watching a show or a movie . Really think that features goes a long way. Now the noise canceling is without a doubt superior really good Bose and these are head to head it all will come down to your environmental surroundings. They also of 360 sound so basically like AirPods have the spatial mode well these have 360 sound . Overall I can see how these are the whole package and I don’t need to worry about another pair for the next maybe 3 years or idk each year there’s something new 😂👍
You see? You made the right decision 😎 Enjoy your new buds!
Great review! The Sonys definitely offer a lot in terms of features, sound and tech, but I fear they're likely going to be very uncomfortable for my ears. They look like they're too big and will probably put pressure on my ears and make them ache after half an hour at most, plus you mentioned the polyurethane tips also gave you discomfort, which will most likely be the same for me as I bought a pair of Shure SE215 in the past and never again used them because of their shape which put pressure on my ears and hurt after about 10-15 minutes and the same tips as the sony were very uncomfortable. With that said, why are you always saying no? It's like your head is on a swivel lol.
With silicone tips they are more comfortable, might be worth giving it a go. So you say I turn my head too much? That's a first 😁
@@AndysTechTone Yeah I’m sure that would definitely fix that part of the issue, but they’re still too big for my ears sadly :(. They’d be an absolute buy for me if they weren’t so large, because I know the size is most likely going to put pressure in my ear and cause pain in no time. Yeah, you do swivel your head a lot, it was a little distracting when watching your first reviews, but now I’ve watched a few and I’m used to it 😂. I don’t mean to be critical or anything, we all have our “flow”. Was just making an observation. Keep those good reviews coming, and I also hope you got that health thing figured out 👍🏽.
@@groundcontrol6876 Thanks Andres. Working on both my swiveling and health issues too 😉👍
I just got a set of Azla Sedna crystal eartips for these. I think I’m also in between small and medium default tips. I picked the small-medium set they offer and they are so much more comfortable yet seals just as well. Expensive at $20 but liked everything else on these earbuds besides the tip fit.
@@ExGearUser I'm going to check them out. Thanks 👍
I listen to rock genre, or instrumental, and a bit of bass needed songs which one will you prefer on me?
Sennheiser momentum true wireless 2 or sony xm4s?
Both sound great and both have EQ. Comfort and fit are more important and only you can decide which one suits you better
@@AndysTechTone well that's not suitable answer, can you give me the winner for my category? 🤣
@@kunalsharma2098 You have all the information you need, so I'm sorry but I cannot make the decision for you
@@AndysTechTone so basically what you're saying is there not much difference noticeable in terms of sounds.
@@kunalsharma2098 All I can say is that I prefer the Sennheiser sound by default but both can be heavily EQd. But if you watched my video I talked about the differences there already
how do these compare with the m&d mw08?
The XM4 has a tighter fit, longer battery life, more features and better ANC. The MW08 wins in design, build quality, controls and sound in my opinion
I am not sure if i should buy them, i can get the xm3 for half the price 🤔
The XM3 are still great earbuds especially at a lower price point
Please do jaybird vista 2
I will 😎
Bro why not review new beats studio earbuds?
Simply because they are not available here in Ireland yet
omg vista 2 came out fffffffffffffff i bought my 2nd pair for 99$ on black friday last year
So cant workout with this?
Sure you can! As long as the fit is tight enough in your ears
Jaybird Vista 2's?
What about them? You know it's easier to answer if there is an actual question... 😎
@@AndysTechTone when is the review coming?
I don't know yet, honestly. I haven't been able to do any sort of exercise for more than a week now and I don't want to review the Vista 2 without at least running and working out once. So how about some patience...
@@AndysTechTone It was a genuine question I didn't mean for you to take it that way.
@@wjkkwjkf2980 I gave you a detailed answer to your question. What's wrong with that?
Hum 🤔
I think the Xm3 with the same tips will do almost as well.
Not really any great improvements except the design, and I don't think it's worth $100 difference.
In my opinion, the mountain 🗻 to give birth to a mouse🐁.
In 2021 high-end earbuds without gaming mode or APTX ADAPTIVE, with average pickups voice and especially without multi-points are not worth 250 - 300$.
At this price everything must be almost perfect which in my opinion is not the case here.
Just my opinion 🙏🏽.
And still speedy recovery 🙏🏽.
Yeah, they are packed with smart features yet everyone complains about what's missing. We won't see aptX on a Sony product any soon, that's a fact. And I don't know any other earbuds that have proper multipoint use other than Jabra. Apple and Samsung products work within their own respective ecosystems only, so those don't count. Or at least I count them out. Noise cancelling is amongst the best on the XM4 with or without the foam tips. So is battery life. What I don't like that much are the controls, the fit and the sound but everything is customisable to the teeth...
It's impossible to please everyone and Sony knows that. Well, even I know that! Under my LifeQ35 review everyone asked me about the XM4 review. Now it's out and they started to ask me about the Vista 2... 😁
That's the game we're playing 😎
@@AndysTechTone it is clear that it is complicated, or even impossible to find perfect earbuds, but I think that the closest to this are the Huawei Freebuds Pro.
It's complicated indeed. If I had to pick one pair of buds from this year I'd choose the Kef Mu3. Doesn't make any sense but who cares 😁
@@AndysTechTone 😅😂🤣
@@AndysTechTone Me it would have been the Buds Pro if they had multipoint and universal gaming mode (which works with any device).
Oh my lord you are gorgeous
Save your money, they're over priced.
Out of stock
High demand...
