Manuals of product WF-1000XM4
Editorial note
The Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds stand out for their excellent sound quality, thanks to a closed acoustic system and 6 mm driver units, providing total immersion in music. The built-in noise cancellation technology allows for an uninterrupted listening experience without external sound distractions, although some users may feel a slight pressure in their ears when it is activated. The lightweight and modern design of each earbud, weighing only 7.3 g, ensures optimal comfort for extended use. However, the charging case, while compact and convenient, poses a risk of loss if carried in a pocket or bag. The touch controls, although handy, can be sensitive, leading to unintentional playback interruptions. Regarding battery life, the performance is impressive, with 8 hours of continuous playback and options for fast and wireless charging, ensuring prolonged use without interruption. However, the high price of the earbuds may deter some users, especially those looking for more affordable alternatives. Finally, connectivity features like Bluetooth 5.2 and True Wireless Stereo (TWS) technology add to the convenience of use, despite the absence of a 3.5 mm audio connector which may limit compatibility with certain devices. Overall, the Sony WF-1000XM4 is a solid choice for those who prioritize sound quality and comfort in a wireless format.Score details
