TheSony WF-1000XM4are not justSony’sbest true wireless earbuds. They’re arguably thebest noise cancelling earbudsfor most people too. That’s why we gave them the full five stars in our in-depth review: they’re almost perfect in every way.
That doesn’t mean they couldn’t be improved, however. And Sony’s done just that. There’s a new, free firmwareupdatethat brings multi-point Bluetooth to your buds, a feature that many Sony users have been hoping for.
What’s so great about multi-point Bluetooth?
Multi-point Bluetooth enables you to connect to multiple devices at the same time, for example your PC or Mac and your phone. If you’re listening to music on your computer and your phone rings, your Sony earbuds will now switch automatically from computer to phone while you take the call, and then back to your music when you’re finished. It’s really useful.
In order to use the feature you’ll need to have the latest version of the Sony Headphones Connect app on yourAndroidoriOSdevice. If you don’t already have the app you can get ithere.
When these earbuds launched at £250, they were a great buy. This update makes them even more attractive, and the widespread discounting that’s going on means they’re much cheaper too. As you’ll see on ourSony WH-1000XM4 reviewpage, lots of retailers are selling them for much less than the RRP – and for much, much less thanApple’s closest equivalent, theAirPods Pro 2. If you’re in the market for high quality noise cancelling buds, these should be at the top of your list.
