I tried to wipe down the tips every couple of days to avoid buildup, and the buds are still pretty decent-looking after a week of heavy use. They won't discolor from your earwax - at least not right away. The Noise Isolation Earbud tips are surprisingly easy to get used to if you're used to silicone tips. The mediums fit my ears okay, and you can double-check your fit through the Sony | Headphones Connect app. There are three sets of hybrid tips inside the Sony WF-1000XM4 box, small, medium, and large. There are no wingtips or stems for stabilization, and it's easy to use the golden nub at the bottom center as a pivot when you're putting the buds in and adjusting your fit without disturbing the touch panel. The design of the buds has the buds sit in the concha, nestled between your tragus, antitragus, and antihelix. The buds themselves are only about 10% smaller than the XM3s, but they're comfortable to wear for long periods - though there is an adjustment period if your ears are small like mine. Thankfully, Sony's engineers have shrunk the case by 40% this go-around, resulting in a case about the same size as the Google Pixel Buds that also features wireless charging and USB-C wired charging. Sony's previous buds, the WF-1000XM3, weren't ridiculously huge buds, but the case they came in was noticeably larger than all of its high-end competitors. Crank the tunes and tune out the world with our Sony WF-1000XM4 review. I was wondering just how these earbuds, which cost more than my favorite tablet, could justify that price and earn my love. Of course, these buds are also $280, which feels quite steep after two years of impressive-sounding $150-$200 earbuds like the Galaxy Buds Pro, the Jabra Elite 75t, and even the Google Pixel Buds despite the ridiculous connection issues. Its predecessor, the WF-1000XM3 - Sony, your naming system sucks - was still one of the better true wireless earbuds on the market even two years after launch, and the new ones are significantly smaller while packing even better ANC and sound quality thanks to improvements with the LDAC codec and support for 360 Reality Audio. I've been needing to invest in a good pair of active noise-canceling earbuds for months now, and when the Sony WF-1000XM4 showed up on my doorstep, I knew I was in for a treat. As you can imagine, this means that I deal with a lot of unexpected and unwelcome sounds encroaching upon my awesome abode, from the revving of motorcycles and wail of emergency sirens and of miniature humans. I live in a middle-floor apartment between a playground and the parking lot, with only a couple of treelines separating me from the nightmare innocuously named I-4.
