Not worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have returned these. I did not like that they were too big and fell out of my ears. I have the Sony - WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Over-the-Ear Headphones and I thought these would be similar but I was let down. I ended up getting the google pixel ear buds instead for a third of the price and am happy with those.

Posted .Hi Wario, We are sorry to hear that our WF-1000XM4 wireless in-ear headphones had to be returned. Our WF-1000XM4 headphones come with different sizes of earbuds to ensure there is a great fit for all ear sizes and an optimal noise canceling experience. When wearing them, it is recommended to twist the headset unit to fit it snugly into the ear canal and adjust the positioning of the headset unit until it fits comfortably.

Bad Sony Product
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Constant connectivity drops and the battery in the right ear bud no longer holds a charge. I found it hot to the touch in the charger and quickly removed since it seemed like it was overheating. There are numerous reports of battery problems with these. Will not purchase Sony audio products in the future.

Posted .Hello Fernando,
Thank you for the positive feedback regarding the headphones. Everything in the WF-1000XM4 headphones has been designed from the ground up. Like our new Integrated Processor V1. Specially developed by Sony, our new Integrated Processor V1 takes the noise-cancelling performance of our acclaimed QN1e chip and goes even further. Improved noise cancelling performance and Bluetooth “System on Chip” technology delivers the industry’s highest level of noise cancelling yet uses less power. Thank you for choosing Sony!
Regards,
David

"METAL PING" SOUND
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just got these earbuds a few days ago and right away i began to notice the "metal ping" sound when I close my teeth together or even on voice calls and on some music very subtlety. I do not hear the ping all the time unless closing my teeth together. Not chomping my teeth, closing my teeth. I thought I was getting a great deal, for $100 of why not right? Well if you have had any suspicion about these earbuds they are not unjustified. I want to like them, the noise cancelling is great, and the sound without the metal ping is great. But these should not have this problem and the fact that sony has not addressed it by now tells me its not something that will be fixed with a software update. It really seems like a problem in the build. Good luck if ypu decide to get them, not everyone has had this problem so its a gamble.

Posted .Hi Jobie,
While we are thrilled to know that you like the industry-leading noise canceling function and outstanding sound quality of our WF-1000XM4, we are really sorry if you are encountering noise issues. This is definitely not the news that we would like to hear. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience.
To eliminate the pinging sound, you should:
1. Turn off Adaptive Sound Control, or 2. Turn off “Notification Tone When Switching”
When the Adaptive Sound Control function is turned on, the headset detects the wearer's actions and adjusts the noise canceling function automatically. When this setting is changed, music may pause momentarily and an alert sound may be heard. This sound notifies you that the setting has been changed. If you want to deactivate this notification sound, use the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app to turn the setting off.
Please refer to the following links for more details:

https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP1000430930.html
And as a general recommendation, to get the most out of your WF-1000XM4, we recommend updating its firmware to the latest version. The software includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements. It also provides fixes to any performance issues you are encountering.

Sony’s disappointment
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to love these. The battery life isn’t 8 hours, at least for me. Seemed closer to 6. The sound never impressed me, but I could not seem to get a good deal in my ear, despite changing to the different bud size attachments. Worst of all, they hurt my ear, no matter how I shifted/moved them around. Really disappointed, because, like I said, I really wanted to these puppies.

Painful and annoying to use
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are very uncomfortable/painful to use and dont stay in my ear regardless of what size tip I used.

Posted .Hi TomB, we sorry to hear that the these are uncomfortable, painful to use and don't stay in your ears. We also regret that the sound quality and noise canceling function did not meet your expectations as well the touch control functions. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. We'd like to let you know that we value your feedback as this help us improve our products. Having said that, we'd love to help you troubleshoot your problem and turn this into a better experience.
There are reasons why your ears may hurt when putting on or wearing headphones, please refer to the article below.
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm4/articles/00015243
Please ensure you have downloaded the Headphones Connect app, it has an Equalizer that you can use to customize the Settings to fine-tune your music. Also, you can adjust the noise canceling function and Ambient Sound Mode (ambient sound control). https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP1000241109.html
Different sizes of earbud tips are supplied so that you can achieve the maximum effects of the earbuds. Ear canals vary in size from person to person, and can also vary in size from the left to the right sides. To keep the headphones from falling out, please select the right size earbud tips. We also recommend wearing the earbuds properly.
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

Posted .Hi Catxrod,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. While we are glad you like the sound quality of the WF1000XM4, we're sorry to hear we were not able to meet your full expectations with the noise canceling features and if the unit is falling out on your ears. These headphones comes with different sizes of earbuds to ensure there is a great fit for all ear sizes and an optimal noise canceling experience. As a suggestion, to keep if from falling out on your ears while wearing the headphones, try to use the right size according to the size of your ears. When wearing them, please gently pull on the top of your ear as you twist the earbud into your ear and wait for about 10 seconds for the earbud tip shape to stabilize.This should give you a firmer hold and better noise canceling experience.The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will also help you to determine which earbud tips are most suitable for you to achieve the optimal noise cancellation effect.
