Top Tier earphones if they could stay in my ear.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really, really like these. The ANC is TOP NOTCH and the sound is great, but I can’t keep the darn things in my ears even with memory foam tips. If they had wing tips like the Beats Fit Pro, I’d be in audio heaven.

BEWARE - severe battery depletion
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned these WF-1000XM4 earbuds for a little over 13 months. A month ago I would have given these earbuds five stars. But in the last month, I've seen the battery life on these earbuds go from almost 7 hours to just a little over two. They no longer reliably charge to 100%. And the promised multi-point connectivity has yet to materialize. When I reported this to Sony support they were less than helpful. This is a well documented issue. Sony even released firmware that SUPPOSED TO address this issue (questionable from what I've read) but it has not yet been released in the US. Earbuds that cost almost $300 should not begin to fail just when the warranty expires. Excellent sound and noise cancellation count for absolutely nothing when earbuds that are this expensive begin a rapid decline to failure after just over a year.

Do not fit no matter what I do
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to return due to fit. I researched extensively and was really really excited for these. Unfortunately out of the box they did not fit in my ears at all. I tried all 3 sets in many different combinations and it seems as if I have mutant ears. I have AirPods and they fit decent (they fall out when running at time) and was excited to get these. The right one fit decent, but no matter what I did I could not get the left one to stay. The sound in the right one was good once it worked. They are big and bulky, and I have had many pairs of headphones with limited issues. Obviously these have tons of good reviews so maybe I am a one off. Anyway, I am disappointed but will have to find some with wings or over ear.

Good Product - Poor Support
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The earphones themselves worked very well and are my favorites of the many others that I have used. However the charging capsule failed and the product is poorly supported by Sony. This, couples with poor web site and password management, causes me to recommend that buyers look elsewhere.
