      Hey AndreB, thank you for your review of the WF-LS900N. We appreciate your feedback about the various features. Here is a comprehensive response addressing your points:

      1. AI Feature: The automatic intervention of AI is designed to enhance the functionality of the earbuds. However, if you find it to be intrusive, you can modify the settings in the Sony | Sound Connect app to better suit your preferences.

      2. Tap Feature Lag: We understand that the tap feature lag can be frustrating. Ensuring that the firmware is up-to-date can sometimes resolve such issues. You can update your firmware via the Sony | Sound Connect app. Additionally, double-checking the Bluetooth signal strength and reducing interference from other devices could improve performance.

      3. Comfort: Ear running or discomfort can occur, especially during prolonged use. To improve comfort, consider using different sizes of the provided ear tips to achieve a better fit. Additionally, ensuring the earbuds are worn correctly can help mitigate this issue.

      Your feedback is invaluable to us as it helps in improving our products and services.
      If the issue persists, please get in contact with us via email to provide you better assistance on this matter. Send your name, username, model number, issue, and telephone number to socialsupport@am.sony.com.

      Thank you for choosing Sony.

    Very dark output/weak treble

    Decent earbud, but overpriced. Battery life was great, noise cancelling was good, but quiet max volume and muddy sound/weak treble output made me return them. You can EQ the sound to boost the upper treble, but I had to nearly max out the EQ boost on upper treble frequencies just for them to sound like most of my other earbuds/speakers sound out of the box. Very dark sounding, not my cup of tea.

    It’s been a little over a year since I purchased these earbuds and the fall off in battery life is very noticeable. I wouldn’t ever recommend these for anyone. I use them everyday I’m at work which is 14 days monthly. They lasted about 3 hrs when I first bought them, now they last 1.5 hrs, a year later. These are by far the worst set of earbuds I’ve ever purchased compared to Jaybirds, Beats and AirPods, regular and Pros.
