Just about perfect.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There's no doubt the Sonys sound great, and fit very comfortably in my ears. The noise cancellation is good, but cannot compare to my Apple AirPods Max over the ear headphones, but I think that is just the nature of the way each of them works. My only negative with these Sonys is that mine are sometimes slow to pair with my iPad Pro and Dell Laptop. But they do eventually get there, and when they finally pair, I find them very enjoyable to listen to and firmly stable in my ear.

Good buds
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to replace the foam tips with rubber ones. They just didnt seal right. After they were replaced, best earbuds I've had so far. The sound is deep and controls are easy. The noise canceling could be better but all in all, great earbuds

Amazing pure SONY audio performance via LDAC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are amazing always, but especially with LDAC with a hi quality audio source. The transparency, noise cancellation, long wear comfort both exercising and sedentary, and even the sound stage are not as good to me as my airpod pro 2 gen earbuds. But, OMG these are for the music and WOW do they ever deliver! I have SONY IEMs and headphones and these deliver a PURE ROBUST MUSIC experience with a decent DAC and LDAC transmitter. They are very good via AAC and SBC, but once you hear what they can be it is really hard to settle for what lower quality BT forces them to be.

Great Noise cancelling buds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for the noise cancelling feature. I was going to be on a long flight and wanted to drown out the background noise. They worked tremendously for this purpose, my wife would say too well. The reason for missing a star is the voice to talk feature has its flaws if I cleared my throat it would react as if I was talking. Also when ear buds are in case my phone app would not recognize them so could not tell charge level until I took them out of the case.

Worth the purchase
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading the review and doing some research , I was waiting for a price drop when I was offered an irresistible offer on Amazon for $229. Seeking a price match, I contacted Best Buy's customer service via chat. The customer service was gracious and pleasant and promptly validated my claim and offered me the product at the same price. After picking up my product and opening to use it, I was horrified to see a used Sony wf-1000xm4 earbuds (along with earwax) in the case. This was a first for me, and understandably, I felt nervous. However, I promptly returned to the store and explained the situation to customer care, who agreed to resolve the matter without any hesitation. I received a replacement product, no questions asked. Having now used the product, I can confidently say that it is worth the price. If you're a music enthusiast, you're in for a treat because the sound quality of these earphones is exceptional. You can hear instruments in a song which you neve heard before! While I would have given a five-star rating, the misadventure and anxiety caused by this purchase deducts a star. Nonetheless, the excellent customer service and the quality of the product ultimately make it a worthwhile investment. I would highly recommend that you open and check the product to save yourself some hassle of running to the store, unless you thrive you anxiety.
