Good not great.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before this ear bud i had the bose quite comfort bud and the were fine until it went bad. Before that i had the previous generation sony bud and my biggest complaint was connectivity. With these new buds its seems better but i will still lose connection from one ear and sometimes both. Or even have noise canceling drop from one ear. Other problems will include occasionally not having the touch pad respond to commands. Overall the best sounding buds in the industry. But bose had better noise canceling.

Love these
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise canceling great sound. I try not to use them too much because I like to take my headphones to work and my biggest fear is that I will lose them so I use my cheaper earbuds a little more. These are comfortable. They actually fit my ears. Definitely worth the money. I have the xm3 too and I love those too. Just they are too big. I chose these over the nose and I don’t regret it. Sony has never disappointed me.

Good but can hurt depending on how you wear
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise cancelling is top notch and I like them overall. However, the way you're instructed to wear the earbuds hurts my ears. If I adjust it, though, they sometimes fall out, which is frustrating.

Works As Described.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as described. Stays in ear and comfortable after 2hrs in. I have not had a need to play music more than that. Keep in during bike rides with no problem. Noise cancelling feature is awesome. Have had any complaints from those I speak with, they can't tell I'm using ear buds. App is easy to use. The touch controls are great.

Awesome little true wireless earbuds that delivers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a former owner of the WF XM3, current owner of the Airpods Pro and Galaxy buds live, these are awesome! Great fit, very comfortable, top notch ANC (Which is even better than the Pros) and overall the sound quality is excellent. Sony XM3 and XM4 are like night and day. Sony really went back to the drawing board with this one and delivered. Whatever the next iteration of there next version, I will be there ready to buy!

Pros and Cons
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound great but they are pretty buggy. I’ve been using them for about five months and sometimes they cut out, other times they get out of sync, occasionally only one will work. They also do this annoying thing where if you speak while you’re music is paused, it will unpause the music after the usual wait time that it would auto pause which is aggravating (Has happened with an iPhone 11 and 13.) The battery life is good, and the noise canceling is great. I also like how small the case is, but wish it had some sort of tracking feature for the price.

Posted .Hi Disappointed,
Thank you for sharing your review of your experience using the WF-1000XM4. We're sorry to learn that you are having some connectivity or cut out issues with your SONY unit. To improve the situation, set the headset to “Priority on stable connection” mode for a more stable Bluetooth connection. For more details, please visit this link:  https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wf1000xm4/v1/en/contents/TP1000239086.html
If Speak-to-Chat is enabled in advance, the Speak-to-Chat mode starts automatically when you talk to someone. The headset pauses or mutes the music being played and captures the voice of the person you are conversing with on the microphones to make it easier to hear. When you use the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, you can change the sensitivity of the automatic audio detection and change the time until the Speak-to-Chat mode ends, in addition to switch the mode between enabled and disabled. In the factory settings, the time until the mode ends is set to about 15 seconds.
Despite your concerns, it's nice to know that you like the sound quality and other features of your new Sony WF-1000XM4 True Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones. The WF-1000XM4 also supports Google's helpful new Fast Pair feature. It lets you easily locate where you left your WF-1000XM4 headphones by tone sound, or checking their last known location in Google's Find My Device app on your smartphone.

Excelent product!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Given all the design changes and new features in these wireless earbuds, it must have been a real challenge to get them right. But Sony has absolutely nailed it. The headphones deliver a satisfying user experience, class-leading battery life, some of the best noise-cancelling we’ve heard in this category, and absolutely stunning sound quality. Put simply, this is a new benchmark for premium true wireless earbuds.
