    Good earbuds with minor drawbacks

    Cons - Ambient noise is not as good as airpod pro, but its decent. Phone calls are not good when you’re in a noisy environment Pros - noise cancellation is the best I’ve heard from earbuds. Sound is great, definitely better than airpod pro, but you have to find good eq settings to really bring out the sound, otherwise you won’t think its that great for the price. I recommend going to YouTube to find good eq settings as I did (some asian guy made a video) Fit….some people claim it hurt their ears, that wasn’t the case for me. I went to the smallest foam tips that come with it, and I have no complaints, it stays in my ear comfortably even while exercising and sweating Only real drawback is the phone call quality, still a good product overall

    WORTH EVERY PENNY - Fantastic sound - Active noise canceling is superb - Passive noise canceling is also good - A headphone app you actually want to use - “Speak to chat” and adaptive sound control options - Smaller than 1000xm3’s and much smaller case (40% smaller) - Battery life beats the competition, especially with ANC off - Wireless charging case (and USB C) - Buds charge fast in the case - 5 band EQ - All recycled paper packaging

    Superb sound. App lets you know that buds are in properly. Some reviewers have said this type of eartip was less comfortable, but after selecting your correct size from the 3 included, they are quite comfortable after a break-in period. Really versatile app with equalizer. Very good noise canceling with a choice to let in some ambient sound when walking, which is good for safety. Buds are not too large and case is small. Easily fits into pocket. Easy to pair. This is really worth the price.

      Hi theaj, we're glad you like the noise canceling feature of our newest industry-leading noise canceling earbuds. 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.

      Hi NewHP, We're glad that you like the sound quality and noise canceling function. We're also sorry to hear that you're having difficulty removing them from the case, putting and keeping in ears. 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 for comfortable listening experience, we recommend selecting the right size earbud tips and 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

      To remove the headset from the charging case, please check the Help Guide for more details:

    True wireless earbuds is a tough field to navigate these days but even being a year old these buds checked nearly all the essential boxes. However, i wound up returning for two reasons. (1) simply couldn't get past how uncomfortable they were. I wore them for 2 hrs and my ears were throbbing with pain. I typically wear large bids but this was even with the smalls. (2) I like to use one bud only and while you can do that with these you have to turn off a lot od valuable features like the assistants. I know there are good after market tips that can ease the pain but at $250 im not interested in investing and experimenting more. Everything else ia 5/5. Sounds, anc, transparency, connection, controls. All great.

    I been having these earbuds for a little over a month now and they have been great for the most part. They have a great sound quality. Pretty good on the comfort level. Also, it definitely cancels all the noise out, making you feel like is just you and your music. The only negative that I have experienced is that the touch sensor are too sensitive in my opinion. Sometimes when in the gym and my towel touches the earbuds it’ll change the sound or puts my volume up.

    The audio is pretty good overall once you get a good fit. Bass is lacking for what i prefer but that's common for most smaller earbuds in my experience. The touch controls are very finicky so they can be hard to adjust or take out without propmting an action.

    Taking some getting used to but once you do, you will be surprised at how well these perform. Whether I am on the treadmill at cardiac rehab or just walking around the neighborhood, with the proper seal, ALL outside noise seizes to exist only to come back in the eerie few seconds it takes Spotify to progress to a new song. Many settings to delve into and highly customisable. Only gripe: Small ears can make these a challenge to get a good fit, initially.

    So these are incredible. The sound quality, noise cancelation, and battery life are all stellar. I'm blown away by how well they fit me, normally I'm sensitive to large things in my ears but these ones just rest in all the right places. The sound quality is more flat and analytical than I expected, but the app has eq so you can get whatever sound you'd like. Overall, these outperform my over-ear noise canceling headphones and fit into a teeny little case. Very good stuff.
