    These earbuds are nice and small! The material feel cheap but the quality is amazing! The Bluetooth range is no good! the fitting is great especially with the xs ear tips. You can easily forget that you have them on.The NC is amazing but not as amazing as the MX4! If nc is a must but do not want to break the bank get these for sure!!!

    Love these. Never spent this much for some ear buds but by far and away, they blow any other headset solution I've had out of the water. The music playback is of the highest quality, but it's the voice connection that blew me away. Crystal clear phone calls with the tap of a finger, and then back to the music without skipping a beat. Lots of bud sizes to find the perfect fit. Even drowns out the majority of my lawnmower noise. Constantly please with my decision to purchase these.

    These earbuds are small and very lightweight. They sound great, although they do not have as great of Noise Cancelling as the WH1000XM4. They are very easy to set up and adjust with the Sony Headphones App. The case and earbuds have a unique texture that is a little weird at first but I got used to it after a few days.

    From Good to Bad

    Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I picked these up in early 2023 and they worked pretty good for what I needed out of them. They were always a little finicky if you swapped out the buds quickly from the case, with them sometimes dropping off and not connecting to Sonys app. Aside from that I thought they were fantastic... That is, until a few weeks ago, I finally had them updated through the app (something I'm always lagging behind on) and now my right earbud can barely make it past 45 minutes of play time. It sounds like this was a common issue after a software update released by Sony in the past year. Before this update I would have said definitely recommend, but I don't think I could recommend them now and I don't think my overall confidence in this product will ever recover. Good: -Small form factor -good sound -durable enough (dropped the left earbud a few times after taking my helmet off) -good price when on sale Bad: -software -battery life (unknown if 100% software or hardware related)
