Are the WF-1000XM4s a bargain under $190?
At this price, it’s a bargain. Sony’s headphones are great, and they’re not going to be obsolete anytime soon. In terms of audio, the WF-1000XM4 offer a balanced and warm sound. The bass is good and doesn’t fill the whole audio. The detail of most soundtracks is present, and the music tracks are rich and ring true. The instruments are well transcribed while the voices stand out clearly. Audio qualities that will suit a wide audience, as well as the most demanding.
The active noise reduction is effective and the headphones completely isolate outside noise. Sony’s in-house chip does a good job, including in the transparency mode, which lets some ambient noise through for a natural sound that doesn’t disturb listening. Finally, Sony promises 8 hours of battery life on a single charge and almost 24 hours with the case. In fact, the autonomy depends on the use of the headphones, with the ANC activated or not. Note that three tips are supplied with the headphones: S, M and L, for the best possible comfort.
