Earbuds not worth the cost.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds are not very loud. They are also on the larger side for a set of earbuds. Fit was uncomfortable and hard to keep in ear.

Good Noise Canceling, not perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Music sounds great, noise-canceling and ambient sound work but they don't block out my girlfriend's snoring dog lol. Not comfortable enough to sleep through the night in but they fit well.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love them. I wear them mainly for work. I am on the phone all day and I enjoy them to help me focus on work without all the other chit chat on the floor. I love the option for ambient sound and noise cancelling. It was easy to connect them to my phone and start listening to my music. I don't see myself every using anything else

Sound and ANC = Best is class.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only fault I have with these ear buds is that the tips were not comfortable to me. Easy fix. I got the Spin Fit CP1025's, if anyone cares. They are not designed for the XM4's but fit shallow and still provide a good seal for ANC. Everything else about these ear buds are outstanding. The sound stage is fantastic. I believe most Android phones offer the LDAC codec, I highly recommend using it.

||Posted .

Fit great, noise canceling is spot on, people say they hear me great on phone calls and the sound is perfect! What else can you ask for? Oh, and btw, they stay in! I use them underneath my motorcycle helmet which with other buds, it was exhausting trying to get them to stay in place putting on or taking off the helmet!

Ehh
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They’ve got pretty good quality sound, the noise canceling is great. I left 2 stars because I have to manually connect them to my phone numerous times a day. My powerbeat pros and Bose headphones never have this problem. These also don’t pause music or videos when taken out more times than not. Not sure why it says ‘designed for iPhone’ on the box because i highly doubt that. Good sound and noise canceling when they’re working though.

Real deal wireless buds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own or have owned 50 headphones/earbuds ranging from $100-$1200. I have sensitive ears. The tuning and sound are a lead pipe lock, amazing. the ability to get loud, easy. All the other features meet or exceed expectations. Sony still has a few products in which they put the best engineers on. TV's (high end only) and true wireless ear buds. It shows. They are not perfect, but so close its a scratch. brilliant.

HURTS MY EARS!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony’s have amazing sound and build quality, as well as world class noise cancellation. But, these hurt my ears and are not very comfortable. They have a bulky body that twists to lock in your ear, and it hurts unless you have bigger ears. Also because of that twist to lock action, i find it hurting my inner ear canal from all the adjusting. I love Sony but they got to figure out a way to fix this. These are very uncomfortable and i cant wear them more than 30 mins at a time.

Posted .Hi Elias, We are glad that you like the sound, noise canceling function, and build quality. We're also sorry if it hurts your ears. There are reasons why your ears may hurt when putting on or wearing headphones such as:
1. The design may not fit your head and/or ears. They may be too big, too small, or too tight.
2. You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue.
3. How long have you been wearing the headphones? The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt.

Highly Overrated
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t know why these are being praised as so great. The foam tips didn’t fit my ears well and they were uncomfortable! Sound is fine, but these are not worth the price in my opinion. The Beats Studio Buds are much more comfortable and sound was very similar to me.

Posted .Hi TechGeek23, thank you for your review. We are so sorry if our WF1000XM4 did not fit you well. This is definitely not the experience wanted you to have on our premium headphones. The WF-1000XM4 features an Ergonomic surface design for a stable 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. For the proper sound quality, noise canceling function, and call sound quality to be effective:
• 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 cancelation effect.
• Referring to step 2 of this link https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP1000237901.html?search=Fit, 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.
