      Hi CharlesL, thank you for sharing your experience—losing an earbud during a run can be very frustrating, especially when you’re unable to notice right away due to continuous playback on the other side. We understand how important it is to maintain a complete set for the best listening experience.

      Your feedback is greatly appreciated as we strive to enhance the design and features of our earbuds. However, it's important to note that the loss of an earbud is generally not included under the standard warranty or repair policies, which primarily address manufacturing defects and technical issues. In the event of a lost earbud, the standard course of action is to purchase a replacement. We suggest contacting Sony Support for further assistance. Our support team can help clarify your options and, when feasible, guide you in acquiring a replacement to ensure you can continue enjoying your listening experience.

      If you require assistance with this process or wish to have a further discussion, please reach out to our customer support team directly. They will be more than happy to guide you through the next steps.

    So far, he loves them. Gave these to hubby for Christmas. The only perm is that other reviewers mentioned that the bass may not be as good as other buds. So he is analyzing that now.

    These are pretty good. Definitely seems like they are a little more refined than the XM4's, but, I'm not sure it's enough of a jump to warrant purchasing these if you already have a perfectly good pair of XM4's to use.
