The Sony WF-1000XM4 ANC earbuds are the latest competition for the Apple AirPods Pro, and I've been looking for a reason to switch for a while now. I think this might be it.

    "7:37 The case is kinda thicker tho, which is a pain in the butt." Oh, that's definitely not where you should keep it, Linus!

    "You aren't enough our customer to deserve to update the firmware..." Sad but true lol

    Linus: "Stone color" Everyone else: "Gray"

    To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. youtube.com/post/Ugkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1… That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

    I USE THAT POCKET FOR MY EARBUDS THANK YOU LINUS FOR TEACHING ME THE WAY.
  • @MentalEdge
    Seems like there finally exists a pair of fully wireless buds I might actually want.
  • @EckoHawker
    1 year later, these are on sale for $200, and now I have discovered for myself how good they really are. Absolutely amazing.
  • @joshmciver3677
    Linus has taught me the ways of the little pocket, never again will I lose my AirPods.
  • @kyunikoi
    Literally almost bought the XM3's like a week ago and said to myself, maybe I'll buy the next version in a year or two. Little did I know.
  • @kenappleby8481
    Now we need James' opinion on them like all the rest of the buds.
  • @CrowsRevenge1
    Love these earphones. The Foam didnt really fit my ear but I swapped them out for a silicon set I had and it didnt impact the ANC much at all. That 8 to 9 hours of ANC lasts me throughout work so I'm very happy with them.
  • I was like 'oh, he is going to say grey color' Linus: stone color 😶 What color?
  • @ajay_karthi_l_r
    Linus forgetting the color 'Gray' and calling it stone color is Amazing 😂😂
  • @Bossix84
    That stone colour of yours reminds me of that ball that was used in computer mouses in 90s
  • @Michael-si2ln
    Really enjoy your video ❤️ I was testing out my friend's Apple pro earbuds in comparing them they are a little more comfortable. But the sound and the noise concealing sounds so much more better The bulkiness I could put up with to enjoy the better sound 👍 they are top notch

    Grabbed them yesterday. Absolutely amazing in terms of sound quality. Even got my hard-core Apple co-worker to admit they sound better in many ways than their Airpods Pro.

    Will definitely keep an eye out for these onsale during the holiday season.
