Battery issues-beware!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really liked these earbuds when they arrived, but 20 months later not at all. I purchased these for air travel use only and after three dozen flights they no longer work. About two months ago each time I started to use them, I would get a message the right earbud only had 15 minutes charge left. The earbuds would stop working a minute or so later. I have tried the Sony site and various You Tube recommendations to fix the issue without success. Sony seems to be stuck in the reboot method of addressing the issue. For a $300+ purchase one would think these might last somewhat longer after light use in less than 2 years. Suggestion to those considering these earbuds, look online concerning many users having similar problems with these earbuds. Sony has not offered a recall for the defective product thus far so beware.

Holdin on/in?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is 5 Stars, easily. Stability in my ears, not quite. Much manipulation needed to ensure that and even then, I have had to retrieve a bud on at least a half dozen occasions or more. I hope the next iteration has at least an option to get a maximum seal while enhancing stability with a “wing” of some design. I am holding onto these as the controls and sound are stellar, and holding out hope!

Posted .Hi SonyMark4Earbuds, we are glad that you like the sound quality of your new headphones. We're sorry if the headphones stability is not what you've expected. 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 from falling out and for comfortable listening experience, we recommend selecting the right size earbud tips and wearing the earbuds properly.

Great sound but little uncomfortable

Decent, but no.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sonys are pretty decent headphones, but I would expect them for around a 100 maybe a 150 dollars, not 280. Yes, they have features and stuff, but the sound quality even on LDAC is just embarrassing. It's worse than on the AirPods. No EQ helped me at all. Would not recommend to audiophiles (buy the Sennhieser MOMEMNTUM TWS 2), but would maaaaybe recommend to people who want the best and don't care about sound quality.

Best earbuds I've purchased
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned other ANC earbuds, they can't even begin to compare to the quality of these. Not everyone might like using another app to control the functions, but it hasn't been intrusive and they've worked out so far for me. No regrets on the purchase.

Not worth the $300
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, I expected better sound quality from these. I feel like a lot of the good reviews for these came from those who did not compare these to similar class wireless earbuds. For $300, these are not worth it. The Sennheiser Momentum 2 is better by far in terms of sound quality. These XM4 do have better ANC and a smaller case with wireless charging, where the Sennheiser case do not have wireless charging.

Wish i had brought the bose earbuds instead. These were supposed to for everyday use..but i only wear them on occasion.

Posted .Hi Sonyearbuds, while we are glad that you like the sound quality, we are sorry to hear that the headphones fall out despite trying different sizes of earbud tips. This is definitely not the experience we want you to have. Allow us to help and turn this into a better exerience.
Ear canals vary in size from person to person, and can also vary in size from the left to the right sides. After selecting the right size earbud tips, we also recommend wearing the earbuds properly to keep the headphones from falling out.
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.

Great sound, not so great battery life.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wonderful sound, great fit, customized sound profiles and supposed long battery life. I do say supposed because after 3 hours of listening, I was less than half battery life. This is well under the stated life. Also call quality was low. The person I called had trouble hearing me while driving. Add those up against the pros and with that almost $300 cost with tax.. It's just not worth it for me. I returned them.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would say that this is the better option among some of the flagships out there I've compared them to the airpods pro and the Galaxy buds pro and they have the superior anc which is the only reason i bought them. The only bad thing that ive noticed is that theres a random cut in the anc.
