Read more on these in our full Grado GT220 review and our Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 review. Proudly rocking similar prices are the Grado GT220 (£249) and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 (£279).
Of course, that hefty price tag places these earbuds right at the top of the market, alongside some other great-sounding contenders. The Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds retail at £249 and only arrived earlier this year, so we’re not likely to see any big discounts yet. They’re also the successors to Sony’s highly rated – though not catchily named – WF-1000XM3 earbuds. They’re well suited to all music and audio playback, and they’re highly portable, so they make a great partner to your smartphone for audio on the go. The Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds are Sony’s latest and greatest wireless earbuds.
While there is a good feature set, including great quality ANC, the sound quality really steals the show and makes up for the one or two small drawbacks that users will encounter. They create a wonderfully rendered soundstage that you’ll want to spend time in, listening to your favourite music and to crystal clear audiobooks and podcasts with a good volume range. We’ll go into more detail in the remainder of this review, but the headline summary of the Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds has to be their knock-out sound quality.
