Abstract: Apple popularized the true wireless earbud category when it launched the original AirPods back in 2016, so it's no surprise that interest in pairs with noise cancellation has seemed to increase with the release of the AirPods Pro. Noise cancellation helps...
Abstract: If you think the term "true wireless" sounds like sales jargon, we're with you. Regardless of whether you call them "true wireless," "cable-free," or "wire-free," the important distinction between these and typical earphones is the complete lack of a cabl...
Abstract: Headphones are great for blocking out the world and letting you enjoy your favorite music, podcast, or audiobook. Sometimes the outside world can bleed through, though, and the sound of planes, traffic, and crowds can cut into your listening experience. I...
Abstract: Stereo headphones have been around since before the first Sony Walkman, and that's roughly how long we've put up with tangled wires while listening to music on the go. That's long enough, if you ask us. Fortunately, this is where wireless headphones come...
Abstract: When people find out I've written more than 1,000 audio reviews for PCMag over the last 13 years, the first thing they usually want to know is what the best headphones are. But to me that's like being asked what the best music is. Sure, we all have favori...
More Expensive than Before, Only Two Colour Options, No Gesture Control

Small and lightweight, Buds use memory foam for snug fit, Excellent sound and noise-cancelling feature, Long Battery Life, Wireless Charging
Expensive, Looks less premium than the Sony WF-1000XM3, Lacks Bluetooth multi-point connectivity, Removed aptX codec support, Facebook Comments
Overall, I can attest that the Sony WF-1000XM4 are the best pair of noise-cancelling earphones I have ever reviewed. For its excellent features, it comes with a high price of P13,999.00. Personally, I am willing to spend this much to listen to the best so...
