    It sounds good. The right earbud's battery went bad pretty quickly that is why I decided to get a different earbuds. The noise cancelling is okay, the tips just doesn't fit properly on my ears and I cant get to stay on my ears while working out.

    After about a year and a half, battery life of one earbud doesn’t hold a charge. Other side drains quickly too. Sony & bestbuy can’t fix issue. Brand knew these were great, best sound quality!

    Highly rated wireless earbuds work as described. The sound is excellent, the noise cancellation is awesome, and the overall design is perfect. I dropped the rating by one star because of the shorter battery life compared to my "beats" headphones these replaced... but still reasonable overall.

    These are easily the best sounding earbuds I’ve ever used and the ANC is amazing. Loved them for the 2 bike rides I used them on. My issue was one bud died way way faster than the other right out of the box. One bud would be at 70% and the other would be dead. Also the ear tips while comfy for me tore within one use. I was still within the return period so I returned them as I had a bad taste left in my mouth with them and didn’t want to bother with exchanging for a another pair. The get 2 stars because like I said they sounded amazing.

      Hi Buzzkill38, we're glad you like the sound quality and noise canceling feature of our product. We're sorry to hear that you had returned your SONY unit.

      For battery issue which the one earbud drains faster, it is recommended to follow this link:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00284577

      You can change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The size of the left and right earbud tips may be different. It is recommended to check this link for more details:

    I have used this set for a couple years and the sound is great. They are comfortable and I like using them. But the left earbud battery gets used up at least 5x has fast as the right. Right now the left is at 10% and the right is at 74%. I’ve updated the software with no change. I’d recommend trying something else as I discovered this is a more common issue that it should be for a $300 set.

    These headphones are great. It has a bunch of different tips to fit all ear sizes. They even have an app that makes your audio much more customizable. Very easy to use too, after you connect it to your phone, it’s as easy as putting them in your ear and it automatically connects for future uses. Sony did good on these.

    Purchased this earbuds for my new Sony Hi-Res walkman WN-NM1AM2 audio player and its amazing! The noise cancelling on this earbuds are excellent! Unlike apple airpods when you turn on the noise cancelling it doesnt give you that “thud” kinda like the feeling when your ears gets pressured up during the airplane takeoff. Very easy on your ears and it is very comfortable and also easy to pair up! I highly reccomend this to those who loves lisiting to Hi-res audio!
