In This Article
TheSony WF-1000XM4has taken home the Best True Wireless Editor’s Choice Award at theTrusted Reviews Awards 2021.
The Sony WF-1000XM4 continued the Japanese firm’s dominance in the space with the earbuds scoring a perfect 5/5 when TV and Audio, Editor Kob Monney, reviewed them in June. During testing he was particularly impressed with the Sony WF-1000XM4’s astonishingly good sound, excellent noise cancellation, improved water resistant design and portable form factor.
“Sony’s WF-1000XM4 improves over their predecessor in terms of design and comfort, the feature set is extensive, the noise cancellation once again is impressive, and there’s no finer-sounding true wireless on the market than the Sony. They sound absolutely sublime,” wrote Monney in his Sony WF-1000XM4 review.
The Sony WF-1000XM4’s win is particularly impressive as 2021 has been a great year for true wireless fans, with great sets including theJabra Elite 85t,Bose QuietComfort Earbuds,Grado GT220andB&W Pi7also making the shortlist.
