Great earbuds that take a little while to get used to. Android app is a mixed bag.
These are awesome earbuds. The noise-canceling is top notch. The charging case is about as small as it can be given the shape of the earbuds. I haven't done any measurements, but the battery life seems good. The WF-1000XM4's have a pretty clear sound during all three modes: noise canceling, ambient sound, and off (sound processing off, so they operate like non-noise canceling headphones).
The only downside is that it took a few days for my ears to really get used to them. They were really uncomfortable on day one and got better day by day thereafter. For me, this is down to the foam ear tips. Swapping on rubber eartips from other Sony earbuds alleviates the issue immediately but don't offer the same noise isolation or ability to stay in your ears when moving around, so I just acclimated to the foam. For something I plan to use for years, this isn't a huge deal but if you're buying them and hoping to use them on a long flight, give yourself some time to get used to them beforehand.
I use them with my Samsung Galaxy S21. The signal is strong, even through a few rooms. The WF-1000XM4's require the use of Sony's Headphones app which has some good features but isn't completely seemless. I like the ability to change EQ, assign gestures, and set the behavior of the headphones when they are removed from the case and my ears, but sometimes the audio sources don't swap correctly (ie, between YouTube Music and Twitter). Additionally, the play controls for different apps don't seem to show up in my notifications menu anymore which is annoying.
Overall, the hardware is awesome (if initially a little uncomfortable) but the software experience isn't 100% seemless. It's not a big deal to me, so I'd recommend them to anyone who is a little tech savvy. Read full review
Great product for the features and really good sound quality for a TWS. ANC is truly magical and will let you focus just on your music and not have to crank the volume to get rid of the outside noise. No Multi-point but minor annoyance compared to the full sized sibling. If your ears on the smaller side like mine you won't find these comfortable however even with the smallest tips.
Can't hear them. Like if my neighbor had their radio on at low volume.
They could have the best sound ever output by any device ever... they could sound like God whispering sweet nothings in your ear... BUT THEY ARE USELESS IF YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY HEAR ANY OF THAT.
I had read so many good things about these buds that I was super excited to get a pair at the reduced refurbished price and jumped on it. Imagine my disappointment when I received them and discovered that no amount of tinkering or adjustments through multiple apps and media players, scouring of the internet for the setting or trick that I was stupidly missing that could turn the sound on, would actually make these things audible outside of an underground, sound-proofed, vacuum chamber. Well, I never found any. They'll sit unused until I can work up the strength to throw that $160 in the trash. I don't know why people review these positively. If there is ANY ambient sound (like my dog's non-snoring breathing while sleeping) , it drowns out whatever these buds are playing, regardless of the noise canceling setting. And I'm talking with them pinned in the red. Turnt to ELEVEN. I don't have a problem with ANY OTHER EARBUDS AT ALL, be they $20, $150, free LGs that came with my TV... doesn't matter, all 4 of my other BT earbuds work fine as far as volume goes. Most don't even have ANC, but they don't need it since you can actually hear them at a normal volume setting even in an outdoor city street environment during rush hour. This includes a set of Sony's own WF-C500 buds. They kinda sound like they're in coffee cans, but at least I can hear them. My personal favorites are Samsungs Galaxy Buds Live which somehow manage to simulate bass you can feel in your legs while being the size of a kidney bean. They can be as loud or quiet as you want them, and you can probably get them for <$I00 right now.
I don't know if mine were defective, or they weren't refurbished properly, or other people only use these in their sensory deprivation tanks they have at home, but I HATE these earbuds! Even if only because all of the hype around them got me excited to get my hands on them, only to find that I might as well stick skittles in my ears for the same experience these provide. Seriously, if I'm outside with these, they might as well be turned off. ANC does absolutely nothing as far as I can tell. I would've thought they were DOA if I'd never tried them in a quiet room. I really wish they'd work, because the features they offer are fantastic... or, at least I imagine they would be fantastic when combined with earbuds that output sound. Read full review
These sound great. Good clarity across the spectrum and nice bass response in particular. The noise canceling is excellent. I really being able to control playback by tapping the sides. I use them most of the day and the batteries last on a single charge. I don’t usually use any of the adaptive features based on location or ambient sound because I found they tended to take away from my experience with them rather than augmenting it. There are not many negatives, but there are a couple. The stock tips were not comfortable enough for me to wear most of the day without irritation. I was having to take them out just to give my ears a break. I ended up accidentally tearing one of the tips and replaced it with an aftermarket tip that is more comfortable than the original. Also people occasionally have difficulty understanding me on phone calls, but most of the time I don’t have that problem. The earbuds and case came in great condition and have worked perfectly for months now. Overall I love these things and have no regrets. If I could give 4.5 stars I would, but I feel ok rounding up to 5.Read full review
I have been a fan of Sony sound products since I also use the WH-1000mx3 and 1000mx4 over ears headphones, along with some Bose products (QC35s) and after trying these earbuds so far, sound quality is good with good mids , lows, treble. The bass is not bad but nothing to write home about, due to size of drivers vs headphones which I’m used too more often. The noise cancelling is also decent with noticeable Dampening of outside noises (once again not to the same level of over ears). The buds themselves are comfortable and stay in ear well with included memory foam buds of varying sizes (I used medium on both sides but they should come with small and large sized buds too), good enough for light daily use though be wary about use during exercises since no wings to help with keeping in ears when sweaty.
The headphones are compatible with Sony phone app which allows you to adjust settings like dampening level of ambient noise mode, battery life, EQ Settings, and also the adjust the touch functions of either side earbud (as of the writing of this review).
The case which the buds come in (and charge from) seems durable and has magnet connections so buds are snug as bugs in a rug once seated in case, and construction of case seems high quality (though one step below Apple AirPods case); will recommend to buy a another case to surround this one to protect it from scratches and scruff marks).
Overall, I am glad I bought this, especially if you can grab a good deal off eBay NIB or refurbished. Read full review
