Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless
Nothing Headphone (1)
It may seem a little strange to compare the Nothing Headphone (1) with the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless headphones, since the Sony cans are a couple of generations and several years older. But Sony's newer flagships are much more expensive than the Nothing, making the XM4 a fairer comparison. Still, the Sony are just about the better cans, since they edge out the Nothing in noise isolation performance, and their sound doesn't change as much as the Nothing's between wears, especially if you wear glasses. The Sony also fold up smaller, which can be handy when you're out and about with just a coat to stow your headphones in. That said, the Sony's mic is worse than the Nothing's, and their design is plainer, although you may prefer that.
