Sony WF1000XM4 Vs AirPods Pro Best NoiseCanceling Earbuds In 2021

Sony’s latest WF-1000XM4 earbuds boast a number of features that rival the capabilities of Apple’s AirPods Pro. However, not everyone might be willing to pay extra for certain qualities that only audiophiles are likely to truly appreciate. The WF-1000XM3 has been Sony’s flagship true wireless earbuds since their release in 2019, but the WF-1000XM4 are now official and ready to take over. Here’s a look at how Apple and Sony’s earbuds compare.

Apple’s premium Pro earbuds also debuted the same year as the WF-1000XM3, and arrived loaded with the company’s H1 chip, active noise canceling and an adaptive EQ. The AirPods Pro offer better portability and a sleeker aesthetic compared to the WF-1000XM3’s awkwardly elongated design and bulky case. Considering that Sony’s next earbuds entry clearly deviates from its predecessor in both design and pricing, are the AirPods Pro still the better option?

Based on the specs, the WF-1000XM4 not only have a smaller earbud profile, but are also lighter at just 1.45 ounces, compared to the AirPods Pro’s 1.61 ounces. The WF-1000XM4 also support the latest Bluetooth 5.2 and high-resolution audio thanks to support for LDAC and Sony’s DSEE Extreme. The integrated V1 processor is said to deliver the highest level of noise cancellation with minimal power consumption. In contrast, the AirPods Pro’s specs show that Apple’s earbuds utilize the slightly older Bluetooth 5 with no LDAC or high-res audio support. This means that Sony’s entry will likely have the edge in delivering a better listening experience overall, and regardless of the device they are used with. While the AirPods Pro’s H1 chip isn’t that far behind in terms of audio quality, its potential will mostly be limited to Apple devices.

Sony WF-1000XM4 Vs AirPods Pro: Pros And Cons

The WF-1000XM4 are not cheaper than the AirPods Pro, but do they offer enough additional benefits to justify the higher cost? Besides the sound quality, the other major difference is the daily battery usage. Sony’s earbuds last significantly longer given the maximum 12-hour play time, while the AirPods Pro are only rated to last up to 5 hours. However, both entries have IPX4 water-resistance, wireless charging support, up to 24 hours additional play time provided by their cases, as well as ANC and transparency modes. Both also come with largely the same accessories, including a charging cable and three earbud tip sizes. Both earphones also support spatial audio, but with differing approaches that result in their own advantages and disadvantages.

At $279, Sony’s flagship earbuds cost $30 more than the AirPods Pro’s $249 starting price. In addition, some might find the Sony earbud’s smaller frame harder to control and easier to lose compared to the AirPods Pro’s more tactile stem design and force sensors. Overall, the Sony WF-1000XM4 are likely to be better suited to users with discriminating audio tastes, as well as those that often indulge in longer listening sessions. For the casual listener that doesn’t mind shorter battery life, as well as iOS users who place convenience above all else, the AirPods Pro are likely to remain the better option.
