Posted .Hi Elconejo,
We're truly glad you are enjoying the features of your new WF-1000XM4. To obtain proper sound qualities with these earbud headphones, 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.
The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips are most suitable for you to achieve the optimal noise cancellation effect.
We designed these headphones to provide incredible audio performance and take noise cancellation to the next level. You can enjoy crystal clear call quality, even in noisy environments and our speak-to-chat technology automatically reduces volume during conversation. Plus, you can get 8 hour long battery with noise canceling, IPX4 water resistance and easy wireless charging. Thanks for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess

Quality up until
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is great! Noise cancelation works nicely. Even in windy onditions, it lessens the wind about 90%. At this time I have two. Omplaints- 1-my right earbud has decided to intermittently ignore touch commands. And 2- Sony should have provided both small/med/large in comply eartips.

Sound Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound Quality. The Treble frequency decrease in ear Buds getting near maximum volume. Bass is fair. LADC on or off. Ear Buds connect to Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra using MQA USB Audio Player and Tidal Master tracks. I connect Ear Buds to Windows 11 Tidal app installed same issues. Using Sony Connected app adjusting the EQ setting same issues with the treble decrease. 5 hours listening auto powered off. Going to return item and tryout the Bose Flagship Earbuds

Superior sound, nix Adaptive setting
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality. Very good noise cancellation and sound quality. The Adaptive setting is annoying at best. It turns off noise cancellation in response to movement. That may be good outdoors so you are aware of cars, but does not make sense in a gym. That is why I only gave it 4 stars. Strongly recommend getting a third party case to protect the charging case these earphones come with and more importantly attach a bluetooth tracker since these small earphones are easy to lose or misplace.

Perfection.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm really happy with these. No fit issues for me though some say they are not as comfortable as some other buds but I find them to be the best fitting earbuds I've ever had. Perfect. They sound amazing too. Better than the Airpods pro which I have also tried. I also tried the pixel buds pro but they had latency issues when connected to my TV and everything was out of sync. These have no issue with that. They also didn't fit my ear as well as these do. I'm very happy with my purchase. I think I've found the perfect pair of earbuds for me. If your considering these then go for it. Especially at a discounted price.

Battery is defective
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I started having battery issues a little after a year of owning these. The left earbud battery lasts only 15 mins now with a fully charged battery. After some research I saw it was a common issue with other buyers. I tried to reach out to sony customer service via their chat and their agent just exited the conversation because he couldn't find a solution to my issue. Sony customer service is GARBAGE. Save your money try a different brand or cheaper earbuds.
