 All right, so there are so many true wireless buds out there. Airports Pro, Galaxy Buds Pro, Soundcore, Edify, Sine Hazard, you name it, so many. But Sony is back with the WF-1000 Mark IVs. And yes, the naming structure takes you off to another tangent, but we're here to find out if it's really that good against the Airports Pro. Let's jump in. All right, guys. So the WF-1000 Mark IVs are available. They announced the right here. And we're taking a look at how they match with the Airports Pro.

I've got Sony, WF-1000 Mark IVs, AKA the over-the-ear headphones, but the true wireless buds have had a mixed reaction from people. They've got great audio with the WF Mark IIIs, but the microphone quality has been bismal. Now, the XB700s have brought in some really good bass and sweet audio for the bass crowd, and the XB700 really hit the mark on where it should be, but it was a bit bulky. Introducing the Mark IVs. The Mark IVs, the WF Mark IVs look really nice. They're much smaller in size, and they can compete directly against the Airports Pro. So what does it have? So the Mark IVs have wireless charging, just like the Airports Pro, and also has fast charging through USB Type-C, which should give you 60 minutes of use with just a five-minute charge, which is slightly better than what the Airports Pro actually brings to the table. Now, in terms of battery life, we're looking at eight hours of battery life with ANC, and ANC off 12 hours of battery life, just on the earbuds. On with the case combined, you've got 36 hours. So that is longer than what the Airports Pro provide, which is about 5.5 to six hours, and 24 hours with the case. So you can stack whichever you want to right there. Now, when it comes to audio, both of them have really, really nice audio. Now, the Airports Pro do a really good job. I can be an Apple hater sometimes, but Apple does a fantastic job here with this. Doesn't support LDAC or any other extended codecs, but it does a really good job with audio. Now, when it comes to the Sony WF Mark IVs, they support LDAC, it's got DSS Extreme, it's got a new audio chipset to give you the best kind of audio possible, and also supports high-res audio. So you're getting a full range of audio support on this device that a lot of people will definitely like. Now, when it comes to active noise cancellation, this is the big thing that most people care about. Me, I do care about it, but you guys care about it much more. The Airports Pro do a fantastic job with noise cancellation, especially if you pair them with the right ear tips, like the comply foam I usually use, then you're getting some really supreme noise cancellation. Now, Sony has always done a good job with noise cancellation, and it's no different here with the WF Mark IVs. Now, the Mark IVs has some really improved noise cancellation is what Sony is trying to bring to the table, and it also has adaptive sound, basically trying to match the noise cancellation to your environment. So if it's more quiet, like where I am right now, or if it's in the train, it will automatically switch to match where you are, and it will check the atmospheric pressure to make sure that works. Now, when it comes to having conversations, that's also something that the Airports Pro do really good job. The microphone on there is fantastic, it's clear, it's crisp. Sony has had a bad record on this. Now, the SB700 have done a much better job, but Sony's trying to improve that with the WF Mark IVs, and I apologize, Sony has some very weird names, so you're probably confused going SB, FW, XB, Mark, whatever, but that's Sony. But the Mark IVs have multiple microphones, as well as also bone conducting technology to improve your microphone quality to give you much clearer and crisper sound, which we'll have to see when we do a full review, but I'm sure Sony has lent a lesson from that in total. I think when you look at both headphones, you're gonna get some really nice supreme quality from them. Sony does offer a little bit more with its application that has a much more robust app for EQs, also has functions like speak to chat, which allows you to basically start talking and it stops your music, you don't have to hit pause or anything, and once you stop talking, your music continues to play. So, the Mark IVs have a lot of features that I think a lot of people will be excited to see. Hopefully, if you like the pricing, it's something you can pick up. If not, the Air Buds Pro are definitely something you pick up or at least if you own the Apple ecosystem. So, what do you guys think? The Mark IVs from Sony or the Air Buds Pro?
