FOR Punchy bass; insightful midrange; noise-cancelling
AGAINST Neckband could be more flexible
Sony’s WI-1000Xs are the bigger siblings of the Award-winning WF-1000X. For £100 more than the in-ear wireless headphones, you get a longer battery life, playback control and, most importantly, better sound.
Marmite design
Neckbuds are a divisive design choice; some people like the collar, others find it uncomfortable. The collar on the WI-1000X feels of a better quality than those on Bose’s QuietComfort 30s, but it’s not as flexible.
The buttons you need for pausing music, changing volume, and for power on-off and pairing are all on the band, with longer presses activating playback control. We’d prefer dedicated buttons, but it’s easy to use.
