Great, high quality headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had apple airpod pros and they were uncomfortable in my ears. I saw that these were more sleek and smaller which was perfect for ke. They pair easily with my iphone and the active noise cancelling is as good as my airpods were. Great buy at only half the price at the time I purchased compared to the airpod pros.

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.

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.

Battery life cut in half 1 year in
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was impressed with the sound and function in the beginning. Less than a year in, my right earbud battery last half the time of the left earbud & since the left bud does not work without the right bud they are useless to me.

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.

Reliable ear buds
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Reliable ear buds with great sound quality. Only downside is the noise cancelling could be better at times; additionally, bluetooth will oddly cut out at times.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
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!

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!
