Good Enough! Pricey though
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to exchange the first paid I purchased as that one did not seem like the noise canceling was working. After exchanging, yeah it definitely was not working but the new pair works awesome. Only complain, in comparing against my AirPod Pro, is that using it for my iPhone calls is not as good as the audio quality is less than the AirPods.

Buyer Beware
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They were great until i updated the firmware, and just like thousands of other users I started to experience extreme battery drain from the left ear. To the point where they only work for about 20-30 minutes, Right ear is starting to suffer the same thing. Of course it started happening about 2 months outside the warranty period!

Battery degradation ruins a great product
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of the box these ear-buds are amazing BUT over time there is one draw back that ruins everything else, battery life. At 1.5 years of ownership the left ear-bud battery last less than 40 minutes, the right an hour. For close to $300 there is an expectancy of better battery degradation (initially 4 hours). Otherwise if you can afford to replace these after 1 year they are the best.

Posted .Hu KevinS, While we're glad you like the overall features and performance of these earbuds, we regret to hear about the battery issue you're having. This is usually not the case for our headphones nor the experience we want you to have. While it is normal for the battery consumption rate to vary somewhat between the left and right earbuds due to function settings and conditions of use, a significant difference between the earbuds, when regularly used together, should not occur.
As a first step, check these articles to make sure you are charging the earbuds properly:

Posted .Hi Cyclura,
We're glad to hear you like the excellent sound and overall performance of the WF1000XM4. However, we're sorry to hear that the earbud tips does not fit well. When wearing them, please gently pull on the top of your ear as you twist the earbud into your ear. This should give you a firmer hold and better noise canceling experience. The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will also help you to determine which earbud tips are most suitable for you to achieve the optimal noise cancellation effect. You may find this link helpful on how to wear the headset properly: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP1000237901.html
