Sony 1000xm4
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds quakity is excellent overall. The app is user friednly and you can make many adjustments to the EQ. Only problem i habe is with calls. It seems to make a chirping electronic noise thats very distracting when on calld with others. The noise really only occurs when they are talking, particularly at the end of certain words. Very odd. But other than that, these are great and have amazing battery life.

EXCELLENT
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If there are better earbuds out there right now, there aren't many better!!! I bought these today and popped them in immediately. The tips are memory foam and they fit great. The sound? I am an unashamed drinker of the Sony ANC KoolAid and these buds don't disappoint. I was at my son's workout right next to booming hip hop speakers. During quiet spots in my songs the boom bled through, but not while the music was playing; we're talking about six feet away from monitor sized speakers. The sound is clear/crisp, the mix is stellar and the buds stay put. I just returned a pair of wf-1000xm3's; I really wanted to like them, but they just don't stay in your ears. Spending that much money on poor fitting buds makes no sense. This year's model fixes everything that is wrong with last year's buds. This is a straight out of the box review, so I'll revise as I get some more time with these babies. But right now? SO satisfied!!!

Amazing noise cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re looking for good sounding headphones while blocking out every noise there is, these are the ones. The sound is good, not great. I like a little more bass but you can use the eq settings in the app to customize it. The fit way better than the xm3’s did in my opinion. The real winner is the noise cancellation. It’s on another level! You won’t find better noise cancellation anywhere else.

Great, but with critical flaws
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having had these for over a year, I think I can say that these earbuds are pretty good that are being held back by some pretty critical flaws. On the positive, it feels premium, the ANC is really good for earbuds (probably one of the best), and the sound quality is really something else. The case and earbuds themselves are much more compact than the XM3 model earbuds, and they are a lot easier to use in comparison. The EQ features too make this device really appealing, and if it was based on just the positives, this device would be an easy recommendation. The lack of multipair really can hold these back, and it's a shame it was never included. So many people like that specific feature, including myself. Furthermore, in my experience, the battery life gets worse and worse the longer you own one of these. My earbuds can barely hold a quarter of the supposed playtime before needing to recharge. It's hard to recommend at this point, even with all the positives, because the two major negatives of this device are so bad that they can ruin the users experience.

Posted .Hi will, we appreciate your detailed review. We're also glad that you like the sound quality, ANC, and compact design. We're also sorry if the XM4 does not support multipoint connection and the battery can barely hold a charge. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. We'd love to help you troubleshoot your problem and turn this into a better experience.

They are good but they still have issues...
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are really good for music. I was debating these or the Sennheiser Momentum 3, and picked these since they were supposed to have better battery. Well, the right earbud is now depleted way too fast, it starts notifying for a low battery after less than 3 hours... I am requesting a refund on this unit and going to Sennheiser. Also, they are HORRIBLE for gaming, the audio lag is so dumb...

Superb Ear Buds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was torn between the Sony and the Bose, especially after my long time, largely positive experience with the Bose noise-cancelling headset. Read multiple reviews and decided to pull the trigger on the Sony. They are a true pleasure to wear - from a comfort standpoint and, more importantly, the quality of sound and they're ability to cancel out the ambient noise. Highly Recommend

Great ANC and audio quality but bulky
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The buds are quite heavy and bulky compared to competitors, and while they fit well in my ears, they constantly fell out of the ears of others (tried all tips). Giving 4 stars since sound quality is superb when tuned, ANC and passive noise isolation is excellent, but the buds are rather heavy and the foam ear tips do not fit everyone. Also, competing wireless earbuds offer 90% of the ANC and sound quality at less than 50% the price

Specially developed by Sony, our new Integrated Processor V1 takes the noise-cancelling performance of our acclaimed QN1e chip and goes even further. Improved noise cancelling performance and Bluetooth “System on Chip” technology delivers the industry’s highest level of noise cancelling yet uses less power. Thank you for choosing SONY. ~Earl

Great sound. Fit could be more secure.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphone sound is amazing. I love the noise canceling ability in such a small form factor. I have the Sony - WH-1000XM3 and barely use them anymore. My only complaint is that the headphones sometimes feel like they want to fall out and the foam feels a bit cheap. I only trust them to stay in my ears at a slow walk and would be hesitant to own them without the Best Buy replacement plan. I already had one eject from my ear suddenly when I was bending over.
