It’s a near-faultless achievement that the new headphones achieve true-wireless premium from Sony. Good in everything, exceptional on the critical points of autonomy, sound reproduction quality and active noise reduction, the WF-1000XM4 set a new standard to beat in their category. Provided you are not resistant to truly in-ear headphones, they represent a completely obvious choice.
Strong points
- Exceptionally dynamic and precise sound.
- Spacious and natural soundstage.
- Extremely effective active noise reduction.
- Excellent comfort, very pleasant foam in the tips.
- Gargantuan autonomy for true wireless (9 hours with noise reduction, 12 hours without).
- Good hands-free kit.
- Compact storage case.
- Splash protection (IPX4).
- Wide range of advanced features (including fast pairing on Android and Windows 10).
Weak points
- The extreme bass lacks a bit of depth.
- Volume control from headphones possible, but impractical.

This is a nice surprise that these Technics EAH-AZ60.
