      Hi DennisS, We regret that the headphones had to be returned as they do not fit snugly and would fall out. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. It is unfortunate that we can no longer help you and turn this into a better experience. However, 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
      We are sorry for the inconvenience and we hope you'll consider getting these again in your future purchase.

      Regards,
      Erin Sony_US

      Hi GailG, We regret to hear that the smallest earbud tips are too large and keep falling out. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. We'd love to help you troubleshoot your problem and turn this into a better experience.

      Ear canals vary in size from person to person, and can also vary in size from the left to the right sides. The WF1000XM4 comes with different sizes of earbud tips so that you can achieve the maximum effects of the earbuds. 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.

    Excellent Earbuds From Sony

    The Sony WF-1000XM4 True wireless Noise Cancelling In-Ear Headphones are well designed, easy to pair and set up. Sony provides two applications to make setting up and using the in-ear headphones easy: Headphones and Music Center. Headphones makes pairing the headphones simple while Music Center allows access to various music streaming apps you may have. The headphones fit my ears nicely using the medium size in-ear pods. Small and large aizes come packaged with the in-ear headphones. The Headphone App provides an equalizer to help you select the sound settings you determine to be best for you. I like deep bass and bright voices and found it very easy to set that up using the equalizer in the app. An instruction video is available online. Noise cancelling can be adjusted to allowing ambient sound in or for total noise canceling. A voice chat function is available to interrupt the sound so you can talk to someone without pulling the headphones out of your ear. Noise cancelling and ambient can be toggled by tapping on the left earbud once; a double tap on the left earbud allows you to receive a call/finish a call; tap and continue pressing the left earbud rejects a call. The right earbud controls music/sound playing: one tap to play or pause; double tap to go to advance to next song or receive/finish a call; tap and continue pressing to launch the voice assist function or reject a call. The Sony In-Ear Headphones are equipped with Sony 360 Reality Audio. This technology provides amazing spatial sound that takes these headphones to a new level. A 90-day trial to Sony 360 sound streaming services is included allowing the user to choose a provider such as Tidal. The Sony WF-1000MX4 Headphones come with a USB-C cable to charge the earbuds in their very nicely designed case. The batteries are good for 8 hours of use before recharging. The case can be used to recharge the in-ear headphones up to 16 hours of total use.

What’s more, you can assign your own functions to each earbud using the Headphones Connect app. Thank you for your feedback and for choosing SONY. ~Earl Sony_US

      Hi Faejordan15, thank you for your review and feedback.

      While we are pleased you are satisfied with the outstanding sound quality of our WF-1000XM4, we are so sorry if it hurts your ear after an hour of use and that you ended up returning them. This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have on our premium headphones.

      The WF-1000XM4 features an Ergonomic surface design for a stable & comfortable fit. 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.

    I bought these in search of the best noice cancellation earbuds. For me these were not it. The sound they produced, did not compare to my Bose or AirPods Pro. The seal was non existent and the tips were very uncomfortable. I purchased a pair of the new beats and those are a much better fit and they sound great for their price. Sony hit the white boards and produce something that will dethrone the AirPods and at the very least the beats studio buds.

      Hi Vicc, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your WF-1000XM4. We regret to hear you're having issues with the sound quality and fit of the earbuds. We provide an assortment of earbuds in various sizes to ensure there is a great and comfortable fit for all ear sizes. Also, if the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not properly worn on your ears, you may not obtain the optimal sound quality. Please refer to the steps below to resolve this issue.



      -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.

      -The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips are most suitable for you to achieve the optimal noise cancellation effect.

      -Check if the headset is properly worn on your ears. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible.

      Hi NEXTGEN,

      We're delighted you are enjoying the incredible audio quality of our industry-leading, noise-canceling Truly Wireless headphones. We also regret to know if an earache occurs when putting on our WF-1000XM4 earbuds headphones. The WF-1000XM4 earbud headphones may fall out or feel uncomfortable during use if they are not worn properly or the earbud tips doesn't match the size of your ear canals.

      • Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears. We have a recommended way of wearing these earbud headphones to reduce discomfort.
      • 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.
      Select a proper size that feels comfortable when worn before using the earbuds.
      • If you wear the headset for a long time, your ears may start hurting. Use the headset while taking breaks periodically.
      Please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm4/articles/00262839
