Almost perfect
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is great, they are surprisingly comfortable even after extended periods of use, and the ambient sound feature works better than I expected. My biggest issue with them is the battery life. For me the battery lasts between 5 and 6 hours for each earbud before needing to recharge. The case holds about 20 hours worth of power for both earbuds. Despite this, they do charge fairly quickly allowing me to get about an hour of use after 10-15 minutes of charging. Another feature that is not included is wireless charging, requiring you to charge the case via USB-C cable. Overall, they are a very solid pair of earbuds.

Nice Buds, Great Sound for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good product, high quality, much better than my Samsung earbuds, several nice sound features. Sound Quality is excellent. Wireless and Bluetooth are excellent and easy to connect. Battery Life is long lasting even using all the features. Durable and sweat resistant. Read some complaints about fit and using for workouts. I have had no issues, running, biking. Once you find the right buds the fit is perfect and natural feeling. Overall, a very nice product. Bought on sale so definitely worth the price. My only complaint would be the noise cancelling, its good but there is still some outside bleed thru, even after waiting for a few weeks and calibrating the noise cancelling feature, also be careful when adjusting buds in ear, the side buttons are very sensitive.

Link buds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use them for work as a German technician, and they cancel out all unwanted sounds except when detailers spray the water off the cars with compressed air, and the screened microphone gets covered with dirt. I have a pair for work and a pair for home. Highly recommend if you want to use for day to day.

Only 1 small complaint...
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have great sound quality and are tiny. Very comfortable to wear all day. I tested the mic for phone calls and they great. They really rival Airpods pro for phone calls and that surprised me considering they're so small they basically disappear inside your ears. My only knock on these and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of wireless charging. How can a company design a premium earbud, charge $200 for them and not give you the option for wireless charging? It makes no sense. make a wireless charging case at the same price point and these would rank right up there with the best!

Great Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones, I use them every night, good sound quality and they stay in my ears!
I would recommend this to a friendGreat noise cancelling for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise cancelling. Acceptable sound quality (You usually can't have both). A little fussy with Bluetooth connection but controls work consistently, almost a little too responsive. Put these on and you can still hear conversations but the room noise is drastically reduced. I am a little older and find these helpful to make voices more clear in heavy background noise almost I expect the way a hearing aid would. New user so not a lot of experience with battery life yet but so far very happy with them. Small and comfortable. These aren't going to be audiophile HiFi sound but most people using noise cancelling understand that is the downside of noise cancelling.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback on the WFLS900N, Hambone. We're glad to hear you appreciate their reliability and sound quality.
Regarding your experience with noise cancelling, several factors can affect its performance, such as the fit of the earbud tips and regular maintenance. Ensuring the earbuds fit securely and trying different tip sizes can enhance both comfort and the effectiveness of noise reduction. Also, keeping the sound output holes clean from dust or earwax helps maintain optimal audio performance and noise cancelling functionality. Noise cancelling performance can also vary depending on surrounding sounds, as the technology is most effective at reducing consistent ambient noise and may not eliminate all types of background sounds.
For Bluetooth connection dropouts, wireless earbuds can sometimes experience brief interruptions due to interference from other devices or obstacles between the earbuds and your phone. To help minimize connection issues, ensure your device’s firmware is up to date, keep the earbuds within range, and reduce sources of wireless interference when possible. For persistent issues, resetting the earbuds or re-pairing with your device can also help.
We appreciate your honest review and are continually working to improve our products and user experience. If you have ongoing concerns, our support team is available to assist further.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
