    Couldnt get rid of the distortion. It didnt seem to correspond to volume but to frequency. Might can be resolved with an update. Dont remember this issue before FW4.0. Way too many feature nobody will use. Equalizer adds an overall muffling making it useless. Tips it came with have a small aperture making it easy to mess up sound if not placed right. Get foam tips.

    These are not good. I had the next higher version and lost them and bought these as an alternative since I want to buy the newer version that will be coming out. Sound quality horrible, noise cancelling hit or miss and they stop working abruptly even though fully charged. Don't buy these. Super disappointed with these Sony

    Bought these because they were on sale, and still regret it. I had read about battery issues but decided to take my chances. Right out of the box, the left bud drains significantly faster than the right. I can only assume this will get worse over time. Save your money.

      Hi bigdaddynorcal,

      Thank you for the feedback and we're sorry if you're disappointed with the sound quality of the headphones. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. If the headphones are still with you, we're more than happy to help you out. The sound quality of the headphones will depend on the source that you're playing. Also, if the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance.

      We suggest to change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The size of the left and right earbud tips may be different.

      For us to better assist you, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Seamlessly shift from ambient sound to advanced noise canceling and enable automatic playback that learns from your behavior. Sony’s Integrated Processor V1 improves noise cancellation, enhances sound quality, and reduces distortion.Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Hello Clover80,

      Thank you for considering Sony products.

      We sincerely apologize for the frustration you've experienced with the WF-LS900N. It's concerning to hear about the ongoing disconnections and diminished sound quality, particularly while using the Active Noise Cancellation feature at the gym.

      This is certainly not up to the quality standards we strive for, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Rest assured, we will forward your comments to our dedicated Sony team for their review as we continue to work diligently to improve our products.

      Best regards,
      -Fred Sony_US
