Sounds amazing still needs work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything sounds amazing but noise canceling could be better and calling in a noisy area causes too much distortions other ear pices do better at that .

||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been on a journey to get a pair of earbuds that please me, I tried AirPods, beats, JBL, Bose, but none of them compare to these. These were comfortable, only experienced some pain after long hours of wearing them. Case was great!

WF-1000XM4
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ive been a huge fan of sony's products for a while, but these earbuds blew my expectations away. build quality is luxurious and the sound quality is as close to flawless as wireless can be in my opinion. i also own the over ear wf-1000xm4s which i use for commuting and these buds integrate well into my workflow. the app is a little wonky as are all apps of this type but works well enough. there's a settings menu for adjusting noise canceling levels and ambient sound and a built in eq. i find the adaptive sound control to be a bit frustrating as it will switch between noise canceling and ambient sound when i don't necessarily want it to, but as a feature i do appreciate it. the touch controls are mostly solid left touch for noise canceling right touch for play pause, i have had moments where the touch sensor isn't exactly where i think it it was. overall a desirable product for audiophiles and professionals.

Brilliant sound.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fabulous earphones. Strongly recommend getting a protective case from a third party. Cases allow attachment of a Bluetooth tracker and protect the case. The sound is great. I find the Adaptive noise control annoying. If I am moving around in the gym, the headphones turn off the noise cancellation to protect me from things that might occur outdoors, like traffic. You can play lossless sound, but you have to subscribe to a third party music service.

Wheres the bass?
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cool earbuds. I got these thinking they would have awesome bass that sony has a great reputation for. I was disappointed. The drivers are smaller so the bass drops are weak. Overall sound quality is good though.

Best Premium Buds Ever
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds are magical. The build quality, sound quality, and fit is awesome. With a quick update they support multi devices and switching is easy with the app. I find the sound quality comparable to the Sony WH1000XM4 and given how portable these are they win hands down.

Top of the line Sony vs the top Sennheiser earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once i received employee assistance, the sales person seemed knowledgeable. I was wavering between the Sony earbuds and Sennheiser's earbuds but was told the Sennheiser's may not be in stock. My lower rating is based on the price(even on sale) that Sony has. And though Sony has great features and has very good sound, the Sennheiser's stereo sound quality is considered the best by far. If the Momentum 2's had a stand-alone self charging case i would have bought the Sennheiser.

Second pair!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these maybe two years ago, but unfortunately they were stolen about four months ago. I bought the exact same pair because that’s just how great of a product this is. The musical he comes out, pretty pristine, and the app that lets you adjust the sound quality makes it even that much better than the rest.
