Hey Max , The new razer blade 14 with amd chip is out now ! Common man please do a review of it with the m1 macbook pro . I am so desperate choosing between them .
I had the Airpods Pro and the Sony xm1000-3. Sold the Airpods Pro which paled in comparison on many levels. And now I got the xm4, final nail in the Airpods pro's coffin.
As an android user,looking forward to switch from XM3 to XM4 which will be big upgrade. - Smaller case - Better anc - Wireless charging - Better call quality - Better sound quality On the overhead earbuds side i don't see a reason to switch to new model because it has no single issue with usage.
The only product they make with a normal name is the PlayStation. If they could make the products sound attractive (or normal) and spend more on advertisements their smartphone sales would take off like a rocket.

I’m blown away with the audio quality of these, so full and big! Really hard to believe wireless earphones can sound this great nowdays. Also i think the design with these are great. I’m deep in Apple ecosystem, but i think i definately made right choice by not buying AirPods Pro because audio quality was my number one point.
Excellent review. I have an iPhone and just bought these xm4s. Just wow. The sound quality and noise cancellation is incredible. Yeah, it’s a bit fidgety getting the fit right. But once they’re in, the whole world is blocked out 👌🏻

Just switched from the airpods to the Sony XM4 earbuds! I am loving it! Big difference in sound quality, ANC and battery life.. plus the charging case supports wireless charging.
I was using Airpods Pro until my wife asked me to buy a pair of wireless headphones to use. The Sony XM4s are cheaper than the Airpods Pro here in my country so I bought them for her. She told me that in ergonomic terms it wasn't for her so I gave her my Airpods and switched to these Sonys myself. I am truly blown away with the sound and anc quality of these headphones. They are truly amazing and so well built.

I agree... I bought the AirPods Pro because they're incredibly comfortable for me. Though some may not agree, I prefer the audio quality produced by the AirPods Pro and I feel it suits me best!
I decided to get these because the Bose Quiet Comfort are a year old, the same price new and I mostly use earbuds when doing yard work and outdoor stuff that requires sweat and water resistances. I never like Apple Earbuds. I even have the newest ones, but they just don’t stay in the ear, especially when you start sweating. I bought a pair of Jaybird Vistas and they are awesome and I would buy those again but those are kind of my go to bed and back up ones. I also purchased a pair of refurbished Jabra Elite 75t earbuds which work great except for some reason once and a while one side ends up sounding barely audible and sometimes one sounds like a blown speaker. I decided to try these out and hope all these positive reviews pay off in my pursuit of the perfect earbuds.
I've been using some silicon tips for when I don't need the extreme noise cancelling and it's much comfier, I actually take a normal silicone tip and I cut the rubber gasket in half which gives me a much better fit as it's not trying to go so deep into my ear canal
Why a change of heart? A week ago, Max was trashing XM4 when comparing to Airpods Pro. In the last video, you pointed out many flaws of XM4 and favored Airpods Pro over XM4 and Galaxy Buds Pro.
Have been using the xm3 and have non issue at all, the casing might be larger but it certainly feels more premium despite easily scratch up. The pricing for xm3 should have drop and would be a good buy right now

Im a malaysian. I just ordered one yesterday. It will most probably arrive in 2 or 3 days. I got it very cheap. Only 162.50$. I guess because it is already more than a year. But still these earbuds are insanely good eventhough they are 1 year old. I tried one belongs to my friend and instantly fell in love. I have the WH 1000XM3. And i wanted an ewrbuds so i decided to go for this because the shape of the buds. It is rounded while the xm3 is like rounded sided rectangular and sticking out of your ear. I feel like all earbuds should be round shaped like the xm4 and many other that follows the same shape. Even the airpods pros are sticking out your ears but at least the have the pressure sensor where you can press them to control the buds. Something useful. Like the xm3 it is sticking out the ears but no function at all. It wouldve been the same function if they made it rounded like xm4. And yeah. Sony is great. Thank u for reading my dumb comment.

Every reviewer will tell you that there is a new champ. If you have an iPhone, you already know what’s up. If there is an alternative for all else… great! The AirPod pro cannot be any better in terms of form factor, performance, or value at this point. These guys will tell you every new product is the best(?). Listen to all the factors. In my opinion, 🍎 makes the best once you’re in the eco. All else… it’s try and error.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I care for more about the ambient more than about the noise cancellation for wireless earbuds. I’ve tried a bunch and the AirPods Pro are the only ones I’ve ever found that let me wear them without feeling like I’m wearing them. When I do use the voice cancellation, It is good enough but feels like a secondary future. I use the ambient mode almost every single time I use the AirPods. Very convenient especially when I’m listening in one ear
Airpods are the most comfortable but for me they were so much so that i would totally forget they were in and iv'e lost them a few times something to keep in mind as well
Totally agree with the verdict. Having both on a iPhone, Sony does circles around apple in the sound department and EQ. Apple is just better for the apple ecosystem.
I’m a trucker and I got the Power Beats Pro. Sounded good and good battery life. But after a few days of several hours using them, I had had actual blisters on the inside of my ear. About the time I was able to tough it out long enough to get use to them? I lost one. $200 down the drain. I just ordered a pair of these. Crossing my fingers
Can use each bud independently, auto-switching to mono. Handy for real-life interacting with people and environment (despite “Ambient mode”). And of course a way of “doubling the battery life” !
it has an 8 hours battery life, but can t be worn more than one hour at a time. so not a single use there. i agree, better sound quality and better anc. but my opinion is that the one thing that matters the most in a pair of earbuds is COMFORT.
I feel like Apple is next-gen Sony...So it doesn't surprise me when they both make must-have items. A lot of my tech is Apple and Sony, I hope they collaborate more and make cool stuff together.
Max, weren't you also at Apple Insider UA-cam channel? or you are on your own channel now? Great review man!!! i have been tempted of buying this new Sony Earbuds just because...
already a owner of the xm3 and now hands down to Sony for creating a behemoth in ANC ...i always like quiet surroundings and these help me to achieve that.yes they r bulky i agree and u look like a Frankenstein monster after tucking them in but no match for sound signature and ANC
If you have an iphone and choose the sonys. I recommend you invest in a portable dac that supports ldac. This will allow you to listen to hi resolution music wireless. Iphone doesn't support ldac. This is triple the wireless bit rate of bluetooth.
Sony makes super great electronics but they’re so underrated in the states. TVs, Cameras, Audio gear, and even their phones are hella sick, they just have horrible names. Notice how their best products that sell the most volume have the easiest names. PlayStation and Sony alpha A7 series.
I do understand the market share or "size of the company" argument... But just to be clear: NO, the AirPods were NOT the first TWS, and NO, the iPhone was NOT the first smartphone either.
Thanks for the video. I faced the same issue with comfort but now I'm using it everyday and I must say I am getting used to the fit and happy with it. I might disagree with your views on being the best ANC, Bose is still the king for a wide range of frequencies. Great video though!!
Yeah the Sony on page and maybe better sound quality compare to AirPods. But AirPods sync like butter with the apple ecosystem and that's just a killer feature for me. I love my tech products syncing together, and also Apple Music is better with AirPods.
Not understanding this video. Last week you guys posted the same comparison without the Samsung and complained on the Sony how heavy the bass was, it was quiet, and overall not as good as the airpod pro. This week your opinion or hearing changed?
Everybody hates on the naming but, tbh, I frikkin love it. The exact opposite of Apple. To everyone complaining, feel free to shorten it. XM4 Wireless. Easy. Sheesh. Hilarious that this the only real complaint. Good job Sony. These are my Boojie Buds and sit right next to my Galaxy Buds Live 😁
I love AirPods Pro, the auto audio switching between my MacBook, iPad and iPhone is almost magical. The sheer comfort of wearing them all day and night is unparalleled. I have often slept while watching some videos on phone, with AirPods being in my ears all night, and still had most comfortable sleep, in fact much better sleep than without them, because of noise cancellation. Plus call quality (speaker and mics both) on AirPods is excellent. If I watching a video on iPad, and a call comes on my iPhone, I don’t need to take AirPods out, as soon as I pick the call from my phone, the AirPods switch to iPhone from the iPad magically and once call is over, and I play the video again, it switches again back to iPad.
I mean aside from the normal Apple butt lube this channel is known for, the fact that you were so blown away by the competition says a lot about these earbuds.
Any true audiophile or audio engineer will agree that the AirPods Pro are the more neutral / natural ones . If you don’t believe me just listen how to vocals / mids sounds full and real on the AirPods Pro . The sound profile is very similar to expensive hifi headphones. The Sony’s might blow you away initially. But that it all extended bass and artificially sweetened highs and their imaging and sense of spaced recorded can’t be compared to the AirPods . To conclude the AirPods are the More neutral ones . You can enjoy all types of music with the AirPods pro like the produced intended . I can’t wait to see what they did with the AirPods 2 . Also another thing with the sony is that you’ll be extremely lucky if your battery survives atleast close to 2 years . I know people who are still using the AirPods Pro with no issues . At 200 usd nothing can come close to the AirPods Pro in terms of sound , comfort and ease of use . If you want the sweet highs and deep bass he’s talking about just get comply foam tips it blows the Sonys out of the water . If you want even better sound quality just get wired headphones.
Are these buds white or light gray? Couldn't really tell because throughout the video some times it looked white while other times it looked light gray
The thing I personally hate is that no one addresses the mic work. I still have wired headphones from apple because it’s more reliable work. After the BT version there was only downside. And reviews are only about noise cancellation and sound quality. Like really? test the mic!
Another UA-camr (I'd quote him if I remembered who) recommended the SpinFit CP360 if you want more comfort or do not like the foam buds. Granted that you have to spend even more money to get that additional comfort.
I’ll keep the iPods Pro even though the Sony’s may be better, the Pros work better in the Apple eco system. I don’t listen to music much on my earbuds anyway. The Pros win on comfort which is #1 in my book.
Same. The airpods pro ergonomic/comfort is top notch for me too. And the portability is still unmatched by competitors. I need a v2 though like asap. Hopefully sound quality will be improved. I’ve been eyeing the pro max..
I have to disagree with you on this one. I’m not sure if it’s your brother that you do the channel with, but I agree with his review. These are uncomfortable for my ears, the foam tips are a pain to have to mold every time you put them in. They don’t sound any better than the Beats Studio Buds to me. I bought both and returned the Sony’s after one day.

I’m a trucker and I got the Power Beats Pro. Sounded good and good battery life. But after a few days of several hours using them, I had had actual blisters on the inside of my ear. About the time I was able to tough it out long enough to get use to them? I lost one. $200 down the drain. I just ordered a pair of these. Crossing my fingers
Can use each bud independently, auto-switching to mono. Handy for real-life interacting with people and environment (despite “Ambient mode”). And of course a way of “doubling the battery life” !
1:43 got me back
Nostalgic me
Max looks young!
Review starts at 3:49
Really Great in my opinion to know all the History of these things. Its Very interesting. Thanks for Sharing
it has an 8 hours battery life, but can t be worn more than one hour at a time. so not a single use there. i agree, better sound quality and better anc. but my opinion is that the one thing that matters the most in a pair of earbuds is COMFORT.
What about spatial audio , Auto connect to multiple apple device, and some apple special feature?
These are masterfully, the sound quality is just beautiful, LOVE them
5:43 yes they do have a pressure relieve venting system like AirPods Pro
I feel like Apple is next-gen Sony...So it doesn't surprise me when they both make must-have items. A lot of my tech is Apple and Sony, I hope they collaborate more and make cool stuff together.
No
Do these Sony pods have spatial audio? That’s something I absolutely love about my AirPods Pro. The noise cancellation on the Pros ain’t to bad either
Max, weren't you also at Apple Insider UA-cam channel? or you are on your own channel now? Great review man!!! i have been tempted of buying this new Sony Earbuds just because...
already a owner of the xm3 and now hands down to Sony for creating a behemoth in ANC ...i always like quiet surroundings and these help me to achieve that.yes they r bulky i agree and u look like a Frankenstein monster after tucking them in but no match for sound signature and ANC
If you have an iphone and choose the sonys. I recommend you invest in a portable dac that supports ldac. This will allow you to listen to hi resolution music wireless. Iphone doesn't support ldac. This is triple the wireless bit rate of bluetooth.
Sony makes super great electronics but they’re so underrated in the states. TVs, Cameras, Audio gear, and even their phones are hella sick, they just have horrible names. Notice how their best products that sell the most volume have the easiest names. PlayStation and Sony alpha A7 series.
Would you recommend these for like going to the gym ?
Gladiator sound track by Hanz Zimmer 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 great max!!
I'll definitely buy the XM4 even if Airpods pro are comfortable. My ears'll get used to it anyway.
I do understand the market share or "size of the company" argument... But just to be clear: NO, the AirPods were NOT the first TWS, and NO, the iPhone was NOT the first smartphone either.
I remember using the LG KS20 back in 2007. I felt the shite back in high school 😆
I can't tell who's more handsome. You or Max? You're both incredible.
Thanks for the video. I faced the same issue with comfort but now I'm using it everyday and I must say I am getting used to the fit and happy with it. I might disagree with your views on being the best ANC, Bose is still the king for a wide range of frequencies. Great video though!!
Hello I do have a question. Are you still using those earbud’s? If yes, do you have to always connect them manually for use them ? Thanks.
I got my xm4s last week and the fit is perfect, easily wearable for the whole day. I do have big ears though so it must help 😂
Is big ear folk singer on this one,I am dumbo
LDAC support in iPhone?
Man, this has been the best review so far!
Keep up the good job.
Is it comfy to wear? Because only airpods pro fit perfectly in my ears and can wear up to 2hrs without hurting my ears.
Yeah the Sony on page and maybe better sound quality compare to AirPods. But AirPods sync like butter with the apple ecosystem and that's just a killer feature for me. I love my tech products syncing together, and also Apple Music is better with AirPods.
Not understanding this video. Last week you guys posted the same comparison without the Samsung and complained on the Sony how heavy the bass was, it was quiet, and overall not as good as the airpod pro. This week your opinion or hearing changed?
Everybody hates on the naming but, tbh, I frikkin love it. The exact opposite of Apple. To everyone complaining, feel free to shorten it. XM4 Wireless. Easy. Sheesh. Hilarious that this the only real complaint. Good job Sony. These are my Boojie Buds and sit right next to my Galaxy Buds Live 😁
Are these good for ios user? I dont have any android device. Any advice before I purchase?
Thank you so much for the review. Though I have an Apple eco system, I got the Sony WF based on your review as I fly a lot. 👍🏽
this whole ass channel is tsundere af.
What is it?
is that sound delay if connect with ios device? need advise before buy :) tq
How come you changed your mind from the last video?
I love AirPods Pro, the auto audio switching between my MacBook, iPad and iPhone is almost magical. The sheer comfort of wearing them all day and night is unparalleled. I have often slept while watching some videos on phone, with AirPods being in my ears all night, and still had most comfortable sleep, in fact much better sleep than without them, because of noise cancellation. Plus call quality (speaker and mics both) on AirPods is excellent. If I watching a video on iPad, and a call comes on my iPhone, I don’t need to take AirPods out, as soon as I pick the call from my phone, the AirPods switch to iPhone from the iPad magically and once call is over, and I play the video again, it switches again back to iPad.
I mean aside from the normal Apple butt lube this channel is known for, the fact that you were so blown away by the competition says a lot about these earbuds.
That's honest review, iam using the Sony xm4 ,but it excellent an amazing......
Any true audiophile or audio engineer will agree that the AirPods Pro are the more neutral / natural ones . If you don’t believe me just listen how to vocals / mids sounds full and real on the AirPods Pro . The sound profile is very similar to expensive hifi headphones. The Sony’s might blow you away initially. But that it all extended bass and artificially sweetened highs and their imaging and sense of spaced recorded can’t be compared to the AirPods . To conclude the AirPods are the
More neutral ones . You can enjoy all types of music with the AirPods pro like the produced intended . I can’t wait to see what they did with the AirPods 2 . Also another thing with the sony is that you’ll be extremely lucky if your battery survives atleast close to 2 years . I know people who are still using the AirPods Pro with no issues . At 200 usd nothing can come close to the AirPods Pro in terms of sound , comfort and ease of use . If you want the sweet highs and deep bass he’s talking about just get comply foam tips it blows the Sonys out of the water . If you want even better sound quality just get wired headphones.
Are these buds white or light gray? Couldn't really tell because throughout the video some times it looked white while other times it looked light gray
The thing I personally hate is that no one addresses the mic work. I still have wired headphones from apple because it’s more reliable work. After the BT version there was only downside. And reviews are only about noise cancellation and sound quality. Like really? test the mic!
So when are you going to make the “ why I kept my M1 iPad Pro” video
PLSSS
imagine if you actually used a good phone to hear how good they really are. iPhone won't give you LDAC
Another UA-camr (I'd quote him if I remembered who) recommended the SpinFit CP360 if you want more comfort or do not like the foam buds. Granted that you have to spend even more money to get that additional comfort.
Headphone gang where u at? Just got my wh 1000 xm4s. Amazing headphone
Airpods pro are almost 2 years old, i am sure the next version that its probably coming later this year its gonna beat the xm4
Apple beating sony in sound? Good joke.
@@jonx4986 H2 chip will put Apple on top.
xm5 will crush it
I love Sony's customizable EQ feature. But Apple still not supporting this feature.
Which one is good
Can you grow another pair of you plant them in nice rich soil?
I’ll keep the iPods Pro even though the Sony’s may be better, the Pros work better in the Apple eco system. I don’t listen to music much on my earbuds anyway. The Pros win on comfort which is #1 in my book.
Same. The airpods pro ergonomic/comfort is top notch for me too. And the portability is still unmatched by competitors.
I need a v2 though like asap. Hopefully sound quality will be improved. I’ve been eyeing the pro max..
I have to disagree with you on this one. I’m not sure if it’s your brother that you do the channel with, but I agree with his review. These are uncomfortable for my ears, the foam tips are a pain to have to mold every time you put them in. They don’t sound any better than the Beats Studio Buds to me. I bought both and returned the Sony’s after one day.
I’ve been using my MX3 in the rain when going to work, still works fine yeses later
its about time Apple Revamps the AirPods Pro this Fall
I'm sure they will, but it may not arrive until 2022 as Apple applies what it learned from analyzing the WF-1000XM4 and incorporating the H2 chip.
You should try sennheiser momentum true wireless
Does the noise canceling work while on phone calls?
