If you’re looking for a great deal on thebest true wireless earbuds, you’ll find it in the Boxing Day sales.Sony’s superb WF-1000XM4, which currently top our best-buds guide, are down to just £159 on retailers such asAmazonandVery. That’s more than a third off the £250 RRP.
In ourSony WF-1000XM4 review, we gave these earbuds the full five stars and said they may well be “the ultimate true wireless earbuds package”. They were a five-star buy at the full RRP; at £159 they probably deserve a sixth star. Sony’s buds are the absolute state of the noise-cancelling art.
Should you buy a set of Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds?
Yes. While rivals sometimes offer better battery life – these buds are good for about eight hours with ANC switched off, with a total of around 24 hours via the charging case – Sony’s double whammy of superb audio performance and equally superb noise cancelling makes these a brilliant buy. As we said in our review, these are “stunningly good true wireless earbuds”.
As far as the competition is concerned, at this price you’re getting the Sonys for less thanApple’s3rd gen AirPods, which I reckon are inferior, and they’re much cheaper than the closest Apple rival, theAirPods Pro 2. They’re not quite as iPhone-friendly as Apple’s own headphones but they’re perfect iPhone partners with great sound.
As far as other rivals go, my personal favourites, theBose QuietComfort Earbuds 2, may have slightly better noise cancelling performance – but right now even the cheapest deal brings them in at £80 more than these Sonys. I’m not sure I’d want to pay that much more when the Sonys sound so good.
