Just too bulky for small ears
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Item works as expected. Only one complaint; also a deal breaker. They're just to big/bulky for smaller ears despite changing out the silicon plugs. Its not problematic to create the correct ear canal fit. However, the unit as a whole overwhelms the entire ear and just hurts. Yes, I wore them for a few weeks to see if I could adjust to them. Nope. Not worth 'rearranging' cartilage.

Don't purchase for phone calls.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly, the main reason I got these was the superior ANC. And when not making a call it is great. However when on a phone call it is terrible. They have a function called "sidetone". It is enabled by default and has no way to be turned off. It plays your mic through the headphone while on any phone call. Walking on a gravel road? You can clearly hear your feet crunch. In a crowd? You can hear EVERYONE. In a loud place, good luck picking out the person you want to talk to. WHAT IS THE POINT OF ANC IF IT DOESN'T FUNCTION WHEN MAKING CALLS? Honestly a bit trash because of this feature.

Really Good Ear Buds With High Quality Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are not your average ear buds. They have really great sound. I also have a pair of Sennheiser ear buds and the sound quality on them is a little better than these Sony's, but the Sony's are a bit cheaper.

Great AirPods Alternative!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent AirPods Pro alternative! Has longer battery life and it even uses the USB C port for charging instead of MicroUSB/Lightning. Highly recommend getting if you're looking for an AirPods Pro alternative, it's pricey but its worth the cost.

Most excellent
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't know if it's the general state of noise cancellation these days, but these things do an astounding job at it. I always thought of noise cancellation as mainly blocking out steady simple sounds like engines or motors, but I can have the TV on pretty loud in the next room and barely hear it in my ears. Slipping them into my ears is like we finally got the cone of silence working! Note that it is really important to try out the sizes of the rubber cap to get a good fit for noise cancellation. I was a little disappointed at how much sound "leaked" in until I got that right. Well, we want these to sound good not just cancel unwanted sounds. They do not disappoint. The bass is sometimes perhaps very slightly heavy, but not so much that it jumps out at you. They are otherwise bright and clear with good frequency range and dynamics.

Great Buds when discounted.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.PRO: Great build, Great sound. Small case with Wireless charging, USB-C, Magnetic connection. ANC works as expected and even has a option for voice only ambient sound. CON: Connecting to a second device requires that you have the application and already connected to your phone (I really hate how you pair these, besides the first time pairing) They really should have a button on the case like the Linkbud S.. The app could use some work. The buds themselves are a little "Big", so i wonder if they would fit in my daughter's smaller ears. She is fifteen, so i got her the smaller linkbud S. Getting them out of the case is a little hard, cause the magnetic component keeps them very securely in place.

Posted .Hi AnimatedBuy,
Thanks for commenting! We are thrilled to know that you are satisfied with the amazing sound quality, build design, easy to carry charging case with wireless charging feature, and noise canceling & ambient sound mode function of the WF-1000XM4. We truly appreciate your feedback with the size and Bluetooth pairing function of these headphones.
When you pair a second or subsequent device (if the headset has pairing information for other devices), you can simply put the headset units into both ears, then hold your fingers to the touch sensors on both the left and right units for about 5 seconds to enter Bluetooth pairing mode without using the Sony headphones Connect app. For more details, you may check out the link below:
