Surprisingly Comfortable, Noise Cancelling is A+
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After buying (and returning) nearly every current model of wireless earbuds, these are the keepers. Despite their rather funny shape, they are remarkably comfortable. This is the one pair I can sleep on without ear pain. The noise cancelling is fantastic, in particular it almost completely silences a window AC unit in the home office. The "be aware" mode works perfectly with just a light tap to the left ear. Speaking of, all the controlling is very light taps, unlike other units where you have to loudly or painfully bang the thing into your ear canal to get it to respond. Also nice, it responds only to finger touch, meaning you won't accidently give it an input if you hit it with a shirt or touches against a pillow. Not sure how exactly but it knows the difference between skin and fabric touches. The audio quality is very, very good in music, movies, and games. (I use this unit for PC gaming sometimes).

Top tier, but prefer a different bud tip
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love them but the ear tips are itchy! I wear them to the gym, when travelling and for general music. I own them alongside the XM-4s. They are really solid earphones but the ear tips are itchy in my ears. It took a long while until they didn't itch.

Posted .Hi Pinkbeat,
We're truly happy you like the excellent sound quality of our industry-leading, noise-canceling Truly Wireless headphones. For fit concern, the WF-1000XM4 features a new ergonomic surface design for a more stable fit and the newly developed Noise Isolation Earbud Tips also improves adhesion to the ear canal for a more stable fit, making the WF-1000XM4 headphones easy to wear.
To ensure optimal performance, as well as to obtain the best fit and prevent the headset from falling out, change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. 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. When wearing them, 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.
Please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm4/articles/00262839

Great quality, not so good comfortably
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a mixed review. I love these headphones (noise canceling is great, ambient sound is really cool, and the sound in general is just amazing). However, for people with little to medium sized ears, these hurt sometimes.. I feel for the price and brand (these seem to be a top pick for 2021) these should feel way more comfortable in my ears.. I thought about trading them in for AirPods but decided to stick with these
