    Noise cancelling seems to work fine. Sound quality is fine too. My only disappointment is that you cannot just wear one you must wear both or it will not work at all.

    These earbuds turned out to be perfect for my needs, they don't hurt my ears after using alternately in each ear, the battery life is also very good lasts for hours, perfect sound when i want to listen to music and the noise cancellation is very good too. I generally listen to podcasts and YouTube, I can take calls, compared to the BOSE I bought months ago they were quite good, you can use these one at a time, which is what I usually do, I bought some Sennheiser that I had to return because they were quite big for me ear, and my AirPods that I used for years got damaged and I decided to give other brands a chance and so far I am very happy with my purchase.

    These are small and really light. It fitted in my ear so well. Battery life is also good as I used it for 6 hours on the go without keeping them in the case, however, in ambient mode. Sound is of great quality to listen to music or watch movies. The call quality was also good. I really like these and would recommend to my friends and family if they are looking to get something like these for below $150.

    Incredibly good sound quality, super effective noise cancelling, and has really nice adjustable passthrough. There are a lot of Quality of Life features I have not utilized, but they're there! Like intelligent voice passthrough: Need noise cancelled till someone is talking? You got it! There is an app that is used for some parts of setup, but it's lightweight, super user friendly, and really responsive. Also, I'm a bit of a klutz and have dropped these and the case... maybe more than once, but not a single problem. Absolutely recommend for the price.

    I’ve been using it for a month already and they are pretty good. Once in a while they disconnect but that happens rarely. They do connect to 2 devices at once as long as you got the Sony app. Sound is good too they are thumpy and detailed and noice canceling is great. Obviously the AirPods Pro and Bose are better but they hang in there pretty well.

    I own Sonys XM5s and previously owned Apple airpods 3, Gen. 1, Gen. 2, and I do prefer something about Sony’s sound of earbuds and headphones. (Tidal Max User) Being able to customize EQ really does make a difference (8, 4, 2, 4, 8, Bass +10) & (4, -1, 3, 1 -1, Bass +5). I do not have the luckiest fit when it comes to earbuds so thank you Sony for including XS tips. Overall I’m satisfied with these well-rounded price of earbuds, their ANC and transparency are just fine for me but Apple does good always in that category.

    Great sound very clean & crisp with just enough bass! The size is incredible I wear them while going to bed and don’t hurt my ears because they are flush with my ears I’m blown away how small they are for the sound quality and noise cancelling wich works amazingly. Battery life is great too! I still haven’t ran out of battery while using them

    If you are one of those people who do not wanna be TEAM SAMSUNG GALAXY or TEAM APPLE IS BEST or any other brand fandom, I definitely encourage you to buy it over other competitive products. It's just very safe choice for the price. The design is not best but clean, sound quality is amazing for the price (with the Sony headphones app), and battery life was way above my expectation.
