Multiple sounding options..ergonomic

Top tier, but prefer a different bud tip
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love them but the ear tips are itchy! I wear them to the gym, when travelling and for general music. I own them alongside the XM-4s. They are really solid earphones but the ear tips are itchy in my ears. It took a long while until they didn't itch.

Good Sound, Pitiful Battery Life for High End Buds
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery Life after the first year is the worst I've seen in high-end earbuds. When they 'are' working, the sound is pretty good. They last about ten minutes after a full charge, down from thirty minutes a month ago. Come on, Sony! You need to do better.

Posted .Hi Pinkbeat,
We're truly happy you like the excellent sound quality of our industry-leading, noise-canceling Truly Wireless headphones. For fit concern, the WF-1000XM4 features a new ergonomic surface design for a more stable fit and the newly developed Noise Isolation Earbud Tips also improves adhesion to the ear canal for a more stable fit, making the WF-1000XM4 headphones easy to wear.
To ensure optimal performance, as well as to obtain the best fit and prevent the headset from falling out, change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. If you feel earbud tips are difficult to put into your ears, change the size of earbud tips or squeeze earbud tips lightly before wearing the headset. When wearing them, gently pull up on the top of your ears, put the earbud tips in your ear canal, and then twist the earbuds into place. This makes sure the earbuds are firmly in the ear canal.
Please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm4/articles/00262839

Amazing little drivers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The app is spot on. Gives me everything I need. And the quality and feel of these buds are great. They sound outstanding and I couldn’t find anything better. I tried a couple of pairs of headphones because these were quite expensive, but nothing came close so I’m sticking with them.

Great quality, not so good comfortably
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a mixed review. I love these headphones (noise canceling is great, ambient sound is really cool, and the sound in general is just amazing). However, for people with little to medium sized ears, these hurt sometimes.. I feel for the price and brand (these seem to be a top pick for 2021) these should feel way more comfortable in my ears.. I thought about trading them in for AirPods but decided to stick with these

Holdin on/in?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is 5 Stars, easily. Stability in my ears, not quite. Much manipulation needed to ensure that and even then, I have had to retrieve a bud on at least a half dozen occasions or more. I hope the next iteration has at least an option to get a maximum seal while enhancing stability with a “wing” of some design. I am holding onto these as the controls and sound are stellar, and holding out hope!

Posted .Hi SonyMark4Earbuds, we are glad that you like the sound quality of your new headphones. We're sorry if the headphones stability is not what you've expected. Our WF100XM4 are supplied with different sizes of earbud tips so that you can achieve the maximum effects of the earbuds. In designing these headphones, we also consider the ear canals sizes as it varies from person to person, and can also vary in size from the left to the right sides. To keep the headphones from falling out and for comfortable listening experience, we recommend selecting the right size earbud tips and wearing the earbuds properly.
