Sony does it again
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the WF-1000XM4 and decided to step up to these. I needed a new pair for different locations. The XM3's are good, but these are a definite improvement. The case is smaller, but the total time with recharges is better. The foam ear tips can take a bit ti get used to, but once in offer better noise blocking. This makes the ANC work better. In the same environment the XM4's block more noise, so the nothing gets in before the ANC does it's job. The functions are the same, hook it up to the Sony app and you can customize the earbuds. What touching them does, setting up for you ears etc. They have worked great for phone calls, or video meetings. These also gain some splash protection, IPX4, from the elements over the XM3's. The sound is superb and adjustable to your liking through the app.

Not fitting in my ears but they sound amazing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bluetooth amazingly stays connected in areas of the house where my other bluetooth devies cannot reach that far. I would have given 5 star but I could never get these to fit in my ears prperly and when I could get them fit then they were causing pain in my ears. While these might not be a perfect fit for all ears they sound superb. I had to return them.

Best earbuds ever made
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best earbuds ever listened to. Great quality fitting could be better what set these a part is the bud itself. Foamy soft material rather than jell rubber like most earbuds amazing on battery life as well

Awesome Wireless earbuds!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are a great pair of wireless earbuds. The sound and active noise cancelling is something that Sony has down great. And they have a pretty good battery life and fast charging with the case. My only real complaint is they aren’t sweat or water resistant so I wouldn’t recommend using these to workout. Other than that they are a great headset

Phenomenal audio and noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product, after doing a fair bit of research, everywhere I looked these were the best, they have excellent noise canceling, great audio drivers with 24-bit audio and 48khz for hi res tracks and audiophiles who want something small and portable, the app comes with a complete equalizer to let you fine tune the buds to your personal taste. As for comfort, it depends. In order to get the most out of the foam tips you have too roll them and carefully let them expand and set in your ears, you can’t just put them in like that, after that you also can’t adjust them to much or they begin to itch and loosen. Also for the first few days I used them my ears hurt, not sure what changed but that pain soon went away. In my opinion, Well worth the price tag and extra effort in putting them in

Worth Every Cent
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are worth the money. They offer amazing sound quality, the noise cancelling is really good, and the ambient sound is decent. They have a setting for higher quality sound but with less signal strength, and one for better strength at the expense of potentially losing a little quality, once I figured that out, it fixed all of my issues with the headphones. The gym proved to be a little too much traffic for the higher quality setting, but once I switched, it fixed everything and I don't even notice a difference in quality. The battery life is also pretty amazing! They also charge super fast and so does the case. Sony wasn't playing when they made these!

Amazing Sound!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing sound and great ANC with the correct fit of ear tips which are foam. A lot of EQ as well. Seems like depending on how new your device is, the bluetooth connection quality varies. Left bud sometimes has no sound and need to reconnect which can be done by just closing and reopening an app. Comfort takes a while to get used to. Hopefully software updates fix bluetooth issues.

Best Noises Cancelling Buds
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far the best pair of ear buds that I've ever had. I had the previous version of Sony's flagship noises cancelling earphones and these provide a better seal and a better fit. The noise cancelation is phenomenal and the features are very beneficial. My favorite feature aside from the noise cancelation is the auto pause when someone is talking to you and you talk back. It'll automatically sense that and pause the audio for you. The battery on these headphones is also great and I can go a full day of work without getting a low battery notification. It helps that the case can charge the headphones if needed. The case is also a lot smaller than the previous version making these much more pocketable. Overall, I love these earbuds and always use them.

Great Sounds and Nice Features
||Posted .

These fit perfectly and sound great. I found the ambient sound setting to improve my hearing. The sounds are clearer and louder.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling is the best for an earphone. Does a better job than beats studio 3. Ive used both at the gym the xm4 blocks all the gym music better than the studio 3s even though they are over ear headphone. Overall sound quality is also much better the fit is great they have not fallen off the ears on my workouts. Best overall value for the price

Best buds yet
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding performance, audio is better than most full-sized headphones, delivering rich sound with full bass, leaving you wanting for nothing more. Treble is rich, mid-range is where it should be. Voice calls are excellent as well. My one gripe-- I wish the battery lasted longer. Not sure if I actually get the advertised 8 hours.

Very nice!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am actually impressed with these wireless headphones. I have an iPhone 22 Pro Max. Had to download the Alexa app to use voice commands. Voice commands doesn’t work that great. I am impressed with the sound and noise canceling if these earbuds. I have a difficult time finding earbuds that actually fit my ears and these work. I am so happy. I do experience some discomfort after having them in for an hour or so but they fit. They actually stay put. I do such a pair of Apple AirPod Pros that I thought didn’t work any longer but after changing out my charger they now work. I am still going to keep my Samsung EarPods since my Airpods don’t fit and stay in my ears the best.

Outstanding!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these headphones. I already have a pair of the WF-1000XM3 so I decided to give these a try after reading a few reviews. One reason I upgraded is IPx4 water resistance, the older model wasn’t water resistant. I very happy I upgraded, The sound quality is incredible, very good bass. Mids and highs are clear and defined. The active noise cancelling is exceptional for earbuds—Very similar to the WH-1000XM4 over ear. If you add comply foam ear tips these provide comfortable fit, stay in your ear and enhance the already outstanding sound quality. Don’t hesitate to pick up a set of these buds, you won’t be disappointed-worth every penny. Don’t forget the comply foam tips (may need to order online)
