Great Ear Buds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are really FANTASTIC. I had Bose Sports which regularly seemed to overheat and decided to change to a different brand and am really happy I did. Have to adjust to the feel, but they are snug once you find that spot!

Great Earbuds but by the warranty
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sounding earbuds but after a year of using them the left earbud has become problematic. You have to take the right earbud out for the left one to charge fully and now it only has about an hour running time on a full charge.

Sucks if you don't buy warranty

Do not buy...don't accept as a gift either
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first they were great. Then a update rendered the right earbud nearly useless. Only lasts 20min then dead. Since they are out past Sony's mfr warranty i would have to pay for repair. Stay away.

Posted .Hi Best, we're sorry to hear that you have an issue with the fit and sound quality of our product. Change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The size of the left and right earbud tips may be different.

Can't Use Ambient or noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Left Earbuds makes a loud constant woosh noise when using active noise canceling and ambient mode. (Not, not wind noise as it happens everywhere and only in the left ear bud) Sony customer service says that's not an issue in their eyes and wont replace. Very disappointed as I can't use noise canceling or ambient.

Posted .Hi Matt, we are sorry to hear that the headphones work great for a month and now constantly having a loud whoosh sound. This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have. We'd love to help you troubleshoot your problem and turn this into a better experience.
In the meantime, to eliminate the loud whoosh sound please try the following:
1. Turn off Adaptive Sound Control, or
2. Turn off “Notification Tone When Switching”
Please also ensure that the software installed is updated. You may check the version using the Headphones Connect App. Reference: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP1000240507.html
Resetting and initializing the headphones is also a recommendation. Please refer to this link on how to reset or initialize the WF-1000XM4 earbud headphones.

Didn’t live up to the hype for me.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I actually returned them. Maybe I was expecting too much. A lot of reviews made me feel like I was going to be blown away with these, but I really didn’t feel like they were any better than my old Jabra’s. I am not saying they are bad, but they just didn’t live up to the hype for me.

Can't Recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Four months past warranty mine started having problems. Can't seem to fix. Never dropped, got wet or anything. Seems that for the price, these should last longer. Manufacturer is totally married to the warranty date. Once you are past that (even just slightly), you are on your own. Too bad too, since the sound is quite good.

We also recommend checking the troubleshooting steps in the Help Guide on how to fix low sound level or low sound quality.

Great but last less than a year.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is by far the best I've ever has. Unfortunately the battery lasted less than a year and now they won't last longer than 2 hours with a full charge. If you are considering these earbuds, don't buy them.

Posted .Hi DerickV, Thanks for sharing your experience with the Sony WF1000XM4 Wireless earbuds. While we're glad that you liked the sound quality, we're sorry to hear that you are not happy with the battery. Depending on the settings of various functions and the conditions of use, the speed of the battery consumption may vary between the left and right units, but this is not a malfunction. When you're done using the headset, make sure to store the headset in the charging case. If the headset is placed in your pockets, etc., the headset recognizes that the headset is worn, and it may turn on by mistake. Always close the lid of the charging case to prevent the battery of the charging case from being consumed. If you set the following functions, the available operating time of the battery becomes short :
Automatic wind noise reduction,
Speak-to-Chat,
Equalizer,
DSEE Extreme,
Function to launch the voice assistant by your voice,
Sound quality mode during Bluetooth playback: Priority on sound quality,
You may turn off or deactivate some of the functions when not in use to lengthen the battery operating hours. Hope this helps. Thanks and regards, -Craig
