Hi peeps wondering should i upgrade from Sony XM2 to XM4? I am quite ok with XM2 and just changed the earpad however after 2 years plus i saw in terms of NC i noticed the new XM4 is really solid compared to XM2 but sound quality i cant say much.
If i choose to sell how much should i sell for my Sony XM2? Thanks .

WF-1000XM4? Has good reviews. But haven't taken one for a test drive.
Should be a jump from XM2.

Yeah in terms of noise cancellation it looks like a very big upgrade. For me thing is i put up with the XM2 all this while because for the price the sound is not bad but the earcup i think i had enough in terms of the tightness cz its not suitable for people with big ears.

We can expect the xm5 to be released by mid 2022, if u dont mind using the xm2 for a few more months, wait then https://www.techadvisor.com/news/audio/sony...000xm5-3800597/PS: if u use an iphone, might i suggest the airpods max This post has been edited by Arvinaaaaa: Oct 1 2021, 10:35 PM

Kopitiam is a subforum here where people chit-chat and provides meaningless answers. Like yours. Here we discuss about the quality. Not some pointless measure about when it was released.

Ahh okays, but if i were u, i would wait patiently for the xm5, ive tried the xm2 and the 4 also, yes the anc improved alot but sound quality wise, its not a big jump, no aptx also if not mistaken. We know the xm4 is already a year and 2 months old, an upgrade should be here soon that would probably support bluetooth 5.2. so yeah, good luck on purchasing the xm4 This post has been edited by Arvinaaaaa: Oct 1 2021, 10:48 PM

Why don't you count the days and hours and minutes as well? It supports bluetooth x.y? How does that help the music quality?

After 2 years it's a fair upgrade, but make sure you are able to use it properly. Some don't like the lack of AptX support because they don't have enough LDAC or AAC capable devices to make the XM4 practical enough. If your portable player or phone isn't a Sony, or an Apple, or an Android 8.0 (and above), you are stuck with the very lossy older BT codecs.
As for sound quality over XM2 the reviews are mixed. Some like the XM2 better with music after a firmware update. Many feel that the upgrade over the XM4 is for things other than the sound quality. But, if you fall under any of the case above you might actually be downgrading your audio quality.
