Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fabulous EarPods I’ve owned these ear pods now for about a month. I use them everyday when walking for exercise. Connecting them to Alexa is a breeze and I use her to change tracks, increase volume and even ask what the weather is doing. The noise cancelling is fantastic as is the battery life. The pods take a little adjusting to get them to fit well but once in the correct position the sound is awesome.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Sound, but you should probably buy these: Sony WF-C700N <- the better alternative Problems with the XM4: Battery life is extremely poor (probably 4 hours) They are nearly double as heavy as the alternative above They have a touch control, which is often activated by accident, e.g. you are doing sports, and accidently touch the speaker with you arm With the C700N you may get a little weaker sound (I honestly dont hear a big difference) and probably worse noise cancelling, but for my personal use cases, the C700N perform miles better, as they do not have the problems I listed for the XM4

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Quality Bought a month ago and I'm very please with the quality and the features available. The one feature which I was disappointed to find wasn't available was volume control, for some reason I assumed this was a given feature on this class of earbuds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good overall Good purchase, I like the charging features and that it charges from a pad. Noise cancelling as good as expected for an in ear piece.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good quality headphones Very good quality. Sounds good. It's like having smart headphones. They recognise my voice and stop playing music while I talk to someone. Plenty of options to switch on or off. Easy to personalize for you only. I like sound and features they have. Charging box has magnet docking station. Open box headphones dock themselves. Headphones are always good to go after putting them in box as box charges Them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely Awful Bought them June 2023, started having issues with the sound (static sound produced both whilst music was playing and whilst it wasn't playing which was really annoying) as well as disconnecting from my phone numerous times , sent them off for repair under manufacturers warranty in October as the retailer wouldn't do anything until after manufacturers warranty expired, spent a week being thrown about between Sony and the retailer as neither wanted to help. Got them back a month later (I received 0 updates about the whereabouts of my product until they said they had sent them back), issue came back up again in march, (again a tennis rally in which I was the ball between Sony and the retailer as neither wanted to help), about 100 phone calls later Sony finally offered to have me sent the item to a Sony repair centre (which I'd have to pay £11 for delivery), this time however they have said some wishy washy statement about how as long as there is no cosmetic damage on the product, they will contact both myself and the retailer and instruct the retailer to give me a refund/voucher in the total amount i paid for the item. Absolutely god awful and i will no longer be purchasing any sony products, stick to Bose and Apple!!!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not for my ears After persevering for some time I just could not get the ear buds to fit comfortably without any discomfort. The sound was superb. Sadly, I returned them and will now buy some over the ear headphones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent quality, disappointing battery drain It was my second wireless headphone from sony. I used the one before this over 5 years and had an excellent journey with it. When i’v got this one for my birthday i used it almost everywhere, it had finally a good noise canceling option, and had the best sound i ever experienced. But bit after a year of usage, after it’s guarantee expired, i’v noticed the battery drain. It started slowly but one and a half year after i’v started using it, the batter in both sides only got like 45 min max 1 hour of usage time. Right now they rarely charge above 80% and can keep up 30 min. Im so disappointed, and without the guarantee i can’t afford to buy a new one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony should be handed a class action lawsuit... Selling an inherently faulty product and not repairing or replacing them when things go wrong is beyond the realms of acceptability. The WF-1000XM4 earbuds have a battery drain issue across the board and Sony know about it. These earbuds are not cheap and it is a massive stain on Sony's reputation that they have ignored the battery drain issue and stolen people's money for a poorly designed product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WF- 1000XM4 BLUETOOTH BUDS Music sounds great and crisp with a nice deep base. Easily connected to my bluetooth devices if they could be made slightly smaller with the same quality they would be outstanding

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound, absolutely horrible fit The sound and noise cancellation features are great, but the fit is an absolute nightmare. They keep falling out of my ears, regardless of which earbud tips I use. I only use them at home and need to sit still and not move my head or jaws. Eating or drinking with the earbuds in makes them fall out immediately.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not bad Not bad, but I expected more for that amount of money. Noise canceling has limits, quality of connection as well and the learning process of places is very power consuming.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound, irritating connection issues. I love the amazing sound but the left earbud has a tendency to disconnect whenever I pause a video or song, and the only way to get it to reconnect is by putting it in the case and taking it out again. I'm writing this review because in the past 30 minutes I've probably done this 5 times which as you can imagine gets really annoying for something that costs quite a lot, and in all honesty I sometimes regret choosing these over another brand because of this. Without this it could be 5*.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Its okay. I bought this product a couple of weeks ago. The noise-canceling feature is decent and at times can be very impressive. For example, I live in London and often use the central line which is very noisy, once I turn the noise-canceling feature all the sound goes away. It is very easy to use and handle. Great battery life. HOWEVER, sometimes the sound doesn't sync or it just cuts off. Moreover, as I turned on the noise-canceling feature a terrible buzzing came from the right earbud. But if you turn off all the extras like ANC and Ambient sound and turn of the equalizer and turn on a good connectivity feature it works fine. But the whole point of these headphones is to get the exact features that I turned off for them to work. Kinda sad. On top of that, I have medium-sized ears and after long wear, my ear feels very uncomfortable and I have to take them off. They are quite heavy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding noise reduction the headphones work astonishingly well at reducing background noise. Sound wise they are impressive in clarity and depth. The fit is excellent. The associated app is also very good and an additional very useful feature.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sound great ergonomics suck I used the the XM3 before I switched to XM4 maybe they weren’t the comfiest earbuds but they were ok to live with and the sound was perfect I wanted a upgrade I choose to buy XM4’s but after 1-2 hours they really hurt my ears. Otherwise perfect but for me they are not comfy at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic bass quality I’m trying this out on the day I bought it and I can easily say that it has one of the best bass and overall clarity qualities when being compared to any other earbud on the market. Also a cool feature which I find very convenient is how you can take out one or both of the earbuds and the music automatically stops, and when you put them back only your ear the music starts up again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Decent fit, not bad! This earbuds are quite a difference from its predecessor in size and aesthetics, It fits right in the ear. However, i noticed its not easy to control the volume from the buds except you trade some functions for it. Also, i noticed some rather annoying situation where the buds disconnect momentarily and connects after a few seconds. that is somewhat a downside i do not like.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Next Year Is Going To Be So Entertaining It's a fact. I simply love the various Sony Products that I have purchased over the years. Before I purchase anything I ensure that I do my research. Yesterday I purchased the Sony WF-1000 XM4 noise cancelling headphones. I quickly read through the instructions and put them straight to work. The sound was AWFUL!! I put them to one side and properly read the instructions and used the Sony Headphone app to ensure the best possible fit. The result was astounding! These headphones are the real deal. Fantastic sound. So happy. Well done AGAIN Sony.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product! I bought the headphones 2 weeks ago and I have no regrets. But the case isn't as durable as expected. I have no scratches on them or anything but I compared them to one of my friends Airpod 3.gens I think that's what it's called and it wasn't as durable as the airpod case. But still, no regrets.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ok, but not perfect In general these headphones are ok for me but: 1. When I carry them in charging box they are not a perfect fit, and as the wiggle they tend to randomly become "active" and connect to my phone, even thought they're still in a closed box. In that price range I would expect this not to happen. 2. When I watch video on my mobile with my earplugs on I tend to randomly get this annoying popup notification about battery status of each earpiece and powerbank. No idea why it happens (sometimes it doesn't pop up at all for hours, other times I get it every 5 minutes) 3. I was expecting a bit better ANC Sound is not amazing, but you don't buy ANC earbuds for audiophile sound fidelity

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Buds with Bass My Sony ear buds came as a Christmas present. What amazing sound quality. They seem so precise on the reproduction of music. It is incredible what Sony have managed to pack into these devices. The background noise cancelling is superb and takes you into another world of listening. Would I buy these again? Yes in a heartbeat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from noise cancellation terrible compared to other make I bought both the ear buds and headphones together to use under different circumstance clearly.. the headphones wonderful all round, the ear buds not so much, terrible noise cancellation, almost non existent.. I tried everything possible to rectify the issue but nothing would.. also pretty much impossible to return, no where obvious online as to where to return too.. headphones full marks for sound quality and noise cancellation, earbuds sound quality fantastic however noise cancellation, compared to other makes I have for comparison just awful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best all-around pair of earbuds available I’ve owned quite a few pairs of wireless earbuds over the years, but these are some of the best (if not THE best) earbuds I’ve ever owned. The user experience is superb, and the icing on the cake is the 8 hour battery life per charge, double my previous earbuds! The only reason the ease of use isn’t 5 stars is because sometimes ambient sound and noise cancelling are turned on when adjusting the earbuds in your ear, but it will just take a bit of time to get used to. Highly recommend these!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great headphones These earbuds are brilliant, for their small size they have incredible sound quality and the noise cancelling is very impressive, when using them they're comfortable and stay in place, i'm very happy with them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely Dire! After several hours of fiddling, viewing ‘tutorials’ etc etc, I failed to achieve a good fit with the earbuds, or connect to my Sony Walkman. The over rated ANC couldn’t cancel even quiet conversation in a room in any ‘mode’. Returned for refund. Perhaps time to ditch all of my Sony kit?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty Good inears I bought these inears in November 2021. Battery life is pretty well right now. I'm curious if it stays like this. The sound is excellent. Revealing its spectrum when increasing the volume. Bluetooth connection works very well on all devices. Even my smart tv which isn't that smart really. ANC is good but honestly I expected more. Currently I'm using the inears indoors for home work at the computer. No music or entertainment but conversations. There is a construction site in the immediate vicinity of my house. Humming trucks parking nearby. Windows are closed but unfortunately the inears don't wipe out this background noise completely. Transparency mode reveals a rushing sound. I cannot understand the reason why. Makes no sense to use this mode. Other than that I'd appreciate the app as a desktop version as well. I use my phones on an iMac and can't change settings until connecting to my iPhone. The inears are quite bulky for womens' ears. I'm unsure if I ever use them outside for being afraid to lose them. They fit alright but if I put on a knitted hat they might come off and never to be seen again. It's a pity there are no substitutional noise isolation earbud tips in the box. From experience I know they don't last as long as ordinary tips.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent all-round product The sound quality, battery life and ease of use are all excellent. The only down-side is the lack of a clip or other mechanism to stop an earbud falling out. I coughed and one fell on the ground and I had great difficulty to find it. I now tie a piece of cotton between the two buds if I use them when hiking.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent sound and noise reduction They are everything the professional reviewers say. Brilliant sound, us.er friendly. My only reservation, which is subjective, is the fit. I have small ears and the the tips provided are all too large resulting in them falling out often. I have ordered some extra small tips, which I hope will solve this problem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Abismal user experience makes product unusable Great ANC and sound quality, unfortunately ruined by notification alerts that constantly interrupt playback and cannot be disabled (the phone is on mute and do not disturb). There are also phantom notification sounds when there are no notifications. This literally makes the earphones unusable and I've had to uninstall the app which I didn't want to do. It is also annoying that I'm pestered with the earphones battery percentage notification at seemingly random times and the voice prompts are far too verbose. (disabling them entirely is not something I want either) Great hardware spoiled by poor UX sadly

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good, could be better. Having now tried every earbud available ( including Sony twice ) I agree that the latest configuration are the best although I have one reservation. The signal from my mobile phone to the earbud drops out too frequently for my liking. I have not experience anything like this with any other make so have come to the conclusion that there is an inherent fault in the product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound with a few niggles Ditched the Sony ear tips for comply, as they were uncomfortable and not very good with noice cancelling. After that these sound superb, a major upgrade on my RHA T20is. Passthrough is really useful and the app is very good aside from the location 'learning mode' which can only be used of you are connected to your phone while listening, and as the headphones only support 1 live connection to a device (although the app will track you in the background anyway) - this means I can't really use that functionality (I walk with my smartwatch). Presumably this could be rectified with a software fix. The in ear controls are responsive but limited to two functions at a time, this could also be improved. Overall very happy with them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome sound. Not most comfortable or connect-y Sound quality is great, but they are not the most comfortable of earbuds. A slightly more frustrating issue is connectivity issues with iPhone. You have to connect in Bluetooth each time, and if you’re listening to music and get a call, the ring doesn’t come through the headphones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent audio but poor in all other areas I have had these headphones for a few months now and have used them extensively. Overall, the audio quality is excellent, easily surpassing any other true wireless headphones I have tried. Unfortunately, this is where the praise ends. Due to the size of the buds, they do not fit as securely as other headphones. Even when using the same ear tips, I notice the Sony headphones slowly falling out even when just walking. The touch controls are another letdown due to being overly sensitive. It is easy to accidentally press them and there is no option to adjust the sensitivity. I find the headphones to be rather bulky and this could explain why they do not fit securely. They protrude a significant amount from my ears in comparison to similar headphones. A minor criticism is that the connectivity has been occasionally temperamental. You could argue that this is to be expected from any true wireless headphones; however, my previous pair which cost a fraction of the price offered a better connection with zero drop-outs. Overall, while these sound excellent, the negatives are hard to overlook especially for such an expensive pair of headphones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brilliant quality...just need to find the correct Bought these for Home office working life. Decent sound and noise cancellation features, although if you want full noise cancellation then you'll want to look into the 'cans' version - Sony WH-1000XM4. These do reduce the noise of your surounding but not 100%. Sound wise, brilliant for wireless. Clear sound and voical are great. Microphone for video meetings is clear to others once the earbuds are in the correct position. It's strange as if it's out by a few degrees, your voice is muffled and faint, twist it a little bit and appearantly you are now heard.... very strange.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sound Quality is Astounding! Received as a Christmas present, and couldn’t wait to road test them. I’ve owned all types of earphones and headphones over the years, ranging from £30 to £400. Let me tell you, the WF-1000XM4’s have the best sound quality I’ve heard - bass is deep but well controlled, mids are clear and the treble is a delight. They really make the best of low res MP3’s, and better quality files (including hi res and lossless recordings) are simply stunning! The noise cancelling is spot on ( no ‘vacuum’ feeling), and the 3 sizes of quality buds should be good for everyone. Plenty of useful features but for me it’s all about the sound quality - all you want to do is listen to your favourite tracks all over again! 100% recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The sound is very good, but…. The ear phones are well built and have lots of features. The sound quality is excellent, and can be adjusted via the smart phone app. However, I’m not sure the noise cancelling is really effective. That said the product is good, easy to use, and lots of battery life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A good product A caveat to begin, these are my first wireless EarPods so I haven’t got any comparison points for this review. I listen to a lot of music from streaming sites and so these are mainly to allow that without the constraints of wires. I’ve improved things slightly with altering the EQ in the app but I’m not blown away with the sound. This is in comparison though with my home wireless systems; Pioneer, Bose and Cambridge Audio so I’m maybe being a little picky. The buds fit well and I like the fitment functions of the app but I do feel they are a little insecure in smaller ears. They work well and have a decent range with little drop outs however the buds are very sensitive to touch control and often are switching controls by slight contact or beeping for changing power levels, connectivity or other functions. Don’t get me wrong, these are very good and I’m sure they will last well for years but I need further confirmation that they are worth the price.

Overall i am happy with their their performance and the sound quality There are some minor issues but none are major. The noise cancelling is pretty good but not amazing. The headphones are hard to take out of the case this is to do with the shape and maybe my large fingers i guess. The scene select function while useful but was beeping in the earbud everytime it picked up a new environment. This sound effect can be disabled in the app. Other than that i quite like these earbuds!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feedback Previously was using Apple Airpods and based on red reviews decided to switch to WF-1000XM4 (instead of Apple Airpods Pro) and it was wrong decision. Headphones falls out from ears and it is not easy to fix them back (forget about exercising), not comfortable, adoptive control is useless as interrupting your listening with sound when changing the settings. Worth purchase of the year, in spite that sound quality is acceptable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Sony have done it again!!! Upon setting these buds up and coming from the previous generation from a sound point of view, these buds are stunning. The soundstage is wider and instrument separation is more obvious. LDAC is a great option along with wireless charging. Taking phone calls are much better than the XM3 where people would often complain about the sound quality. If you're in the market for buds, this could be the option, ANC is great.

Battery Life is amazing, the recharging case is well designed and compact, making it easy to carry around safely. There are 3 sizes of grommets to suit ear fit comfortably and seal for noise cancelling.The Headphone App works well and adds to the listening pleasure, displaying battery levels, allowing Equalizer Sound changes and many other user parameters. The Packaging is compact and looks to be a recycled cardboard type, which I would image is quite environmentally friendly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One pair to rule them all Who says you can't have it all? Sony says otherwise with the WF-1000XM4. Sure, the competition may beat the XM4's in one or two areas; but there simply is no more convincing package currently on the market. For owners of the predecessor XM3's, try the XM4's for yourself to feel the difference—and whether it's worth shelling out to upgrade to what's better than the best.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent quality but not good for calls I bought this model after using WH-1000XM3 headphones. I was expecting similar sound and noise cancelling qualities and it exceeded my expectations. The case is very sleek, and it charges so quickly. My only complaint is about microphone quality. When I take calls in the office nobody can hear me because it picks up the background noise so much. I changed my Zoom settings I hope it helps. But I'm having the same problem when I take phone calls when I'm outside. I have the same issue with my WH-1000XM3 headphones too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from the sound and noise cancelling are excellent- Overall very impressed with these . Sound quality is excellent , especially if using LDAC. However frequent drop outs should be expected if phone is any where other in line of site of phone (xperia1 ii) which is disappointing. Noise cancelling is excellent if you have the right size earbud tips . My only concern is I thought I had lost the charging case recently , and after an hour of looking through usual outlets and the Sony website I couldn't find a replacement in the UK which would have left these as useless. Happily I found the case , but this is certainly an issue that leaves this as a 4 star review. .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Live the sound quality. I love this new phones. They are my first Bluetooth ones. Unfortunately they can't get notifications from both my cellphones but it's quite easy to switch from one to another. I have a sound bar speaker from another brand that is just a hassle to do the same. I love how easy it is to manage these earphones. cons: I feel the original foam was too hard on my ears. I changed then for a silicon plug from my Phillips wired phones that are much softer. The phones area bit bigger and heavier in my ears than I expected. But that is just my personal opinion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great earphones - one annoying bug. I'm loving these earphones. Great sound, great features and a nifty little app for all your configuration needs. However they lose a star for the one and only bug I've come across so far. If for any reason your earbuds pause, ie the Speak to Chat feature kicking in, then there is a fair chance that the left hand earbud will cut out, causing you to have to remove it to power it off and then re-insert it. Simple to fix, yes, but definitely a bug and definitely annoying though I'm hoping this can be fixed in a future firmware upgrade. Apart from that, really great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good product This is the 1st set of 'ear pods' that I've purchased and only after trying quite a range. The most impressive thing is the profoundness of the 'noise cancelling' function- I also have Sony 'over the ear' (WH-1000XM3) that I purchased 3 years ago and I thought those were brilliant- these 'in ear' ones though are on a par at least. The sound quality is brilliant but what do expect from Sony! The 1 downside is that it occasionally drops the Bluetooth link to my phone and I have to address it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Almost perfect Been using this for a few weeks now. Sony has made leaps and strides but there’s still work to be done. Sound is better than airpod pro. And it’s aesthetically pleasing. Noise cancellation is better than airpod pro. Airpod pro has a better mic and better transparency mode. The main thing I would say that I would like to be improved is the way it goes into your ears. It lacks consistency. Airpod pros almost plug into your ears like a pop. Whereas the Sony you have to play around with it to get a perfect fit every time you use it. 8.5/10. I hope Sony improves on this with their next one as I don’t see myself going back to AirPods.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound and new features - needs better fit Had the XM3s for years, which were good but without great ANC, bad silicone buds and occasional dropouts in connection. These are much much better in every area - sound, ANC, fit and the features for calls (impossible in any environment with noise with the XM3s) are very useful. Thoroughly recommend the XM4s - they're brilliant. However, do yourself a favour and buy the comply earbuds; the new Sony ones are way better than the XM3s but to get a great fit I have to use a large size and they get painful after a short time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My already high expectations were exceeded I have been using these earbuds for the past week. Noise cancelling ability is super, sound is crisp, basey and clear, and battery life is impressive. On the less positive side, comfort after wearing these for a number of hours can be improved (although it could be just me as I only feel discomfort in the right ear). Also at times I hear a beeping sound in the right ear bud when I am having calls. Overall I am very positively impressed and very happy with the purchase! Well done Sony.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound, pity about the 2 big issues. You cant fault the quality of the sound in any mode. However two major issues. 1- listening to loud thump thumps when you run in them. 2. Constant popping and white noise/hiss from the left earbud, means you have to constantly reset the ear bud. These seem to be a common problems.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent….but fit won’t suit everyone I have a high end sound system with top end headphones etc. I only say that I’ve bought various sets of Bluetooth earbuds for convenience but want decent quality. I have some Westone wired buds then over the past year or so bought first the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1, then the Melomania 1+, now these. The Melomania are excellent quality and value for money. I always had a problem with the tips…none of theirs work for me…the only one that does is by Comply and that sticks in the case, so over a period of time has been extremely frustrating. I bought the Sony after research and they are excellent. They are a clear step up from the Melomania, particularly in terms of the bass performance which is noticeably enhanced…in fact they operate at a different and higher level all round. For the buds themselves I’d be happy to give a 5*. The reservation is the tips. The challenge is to be secure, feel comfortable yet still have a proper seal to sound great. The Sony tips don’t really work for me so I bought the appropriate Comply tips which definitely help with all those requirements. Even then, I’m not totally convinced all the time that the buds are properly fixed in my ears or sealed. A bit of fiddling and they’re fine but I just don’t have total confidence all the time…hence 4*. They are really good and I’m very happy with the quality etc so no regrets but based upon my experience, they won’t necessarily suit everyone. The other point is connectivity. They only pair with one source at a time…that’s a shame…it’s a pain to have to switch off Bluetooth on one source before it’ll connect to another. Given the price, I think that’s a weakness. Maybe a firmware upgrade could solve that?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality Earbuds I've used these in Android, Windows, and IOS, all performed well and connected quickly thanks to the Sony app and Windows 10 fast pair. Sound quality is good and I've had no complaints about microphone use. Noise cancelling works well and the clear talk more saves having to remove the earbuds when talking to people around you. Only real negative is the size. These are larger than many other earbuds and stick out a little.

He said the sound quality on these are awesome. Everything is clear and loud like he likes it. There’s no interference or static. Battery life is sufficient for his needs. They were easy to pair with a iPhone. He said they weren’t as comfortable as other ones he’s used. He said they always feel like they are going to fall out. I think it may be because he’s used to over the ear style. That’s the only think he didn’t like. He liked the how small they were and that they charge inside the case.

The sound is amazing and I like how I can pretty much control everything by lightly touching them. But unfortunately even with the smallest attachment they are way to big for my ears. Since they don’t fit in my ear the right way it makes them kind of heavy and uncomfortable. It’s a shame

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Possibly the BEST TWS earbuds in the world now My first TWS earbuds is Senheiser's Momentum TWS2, after having used it for a few months I saw the positive reviews for Sony's WF1000XM4, and decided to buy a pair to give it a try. I have to say Sony's new XM4 is slightly better than my Senheiser's earbud. First off, the ear plug included is a memory foam plug, it provides complete seal after plugging into the ear. It gives me a more secure feeling and not having to worry about the earbuds falling off. Second, due to the better sealing, the ANC becomes easier to manage. The audio sounds crispy without delay. Connection was also easier than my Senheiser's. The app controls are better. If I have to complain about one thing, it's about the eco packaging. It doesn't look like a premium product even the earbuds itself are built extremely well. After having read many reviews and I believe I have purchased 2 of the best earbuds on the market now. The Sony is definitely has the edge over Senheiser, thanks to Sony's version of the high resolution decoding LDAC.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Almost excellent! I bought these earphones following the excellent reviews I had read. On the basis of sound quality and functionality, I have to say I'm not in any way disappointed. Fantastic rich sound and the ability to easily control functions by tapping the earphone(s) make these a real pleasure. My only slight concern is based around the eartips and the fit. In order to achieve the best noise cancellation and sound quality, you need to gain an airtight seal in your ears. These come with a choice of either small, med or large silicon eartips. The left ear fitted perfectly using large, but the right just couldn't get an airtight fit. I then found myself having to additionally purchase some memory foam ear tips for the right earphone in order to get a better fit. Happily this seems to have worked better, but even so, the right earpiece still feels marginally less secure in my ear, but not so that it would fall out. I have to fiddle a bit more when putting the right one in to get the right fit, but once I do, it's totally worth it. Perhaps it may be that I simply have a slightly odd shaped right ear canal - who knows - but overall I'm happy with my purchase of these earphones!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great, bordering on too good Outstanding sound quality, and the noise cancelling is truly impressive. So good that, to be honest, I use them on flights and trains etc, but more rarely in the street as it's almost too much ambient isolation (even though this can be decreased on a sliding scale which is really smart).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceptional overall experience Design is really great, earphones fit nicely and look good. Box is lite, which is cool, but can be a bit squeeky which messes with the premium feel. ANC does very good job, as well as ambient sound mode. I feel like I have super hearing once activated. For some reason, pulling out just right bud from the case enables connecting to devices, but it does not work with just the left one. Sony's software is pretty easy to use and has nice tweaks for the buds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty good. Same old issues I've been daily driving these buds for a while, and whilst they are spectacular in sound, design and intuitive controls, many problems from other Sony wireless headphones still persist. Comfort: This might be a personal problem, but the earbuds took some getting used to. It was quite uncomfortable having them in-ear, even with the smallest bud size, I would often have my ears aching after prolonged use. Microphone: Call quality is better, but still atrocious. It has been one of the weakest points of Sony headphone products I've noticed, as this is prevalent even in the WH-1000XM3s I possess. Durability: I've unfortunately dropped the buds a few times, but they seem to be hardy enough as I have not noticed any wear or scuffing on the bud itself and it still performs as new. I have, however, had to replace the S-sized buds I was using with the Ms as they disintegrated after some time. Overall a very good product, but improvement is always welcome and necessary

The functionality is great, but I like have control on all 3 aspects on touch headphones at the same time, without having operate by mobile such us: 1. Volume 2. Play pause 3. Switching between noise cancelling and ambient sound It is possible by implement specific sequence by touch buttons on them. Such us playing control on the left, volume on the right and sound control on both at the same time. Is just idea for Sony to make an update. You can make update to introduce, choosing functionality by pressing both headphones at the same time. That would be perfect :) Besides above, they are great

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointing ANC Whilst the sound quality is good, I'm not exactly blown away by them. However, the ANC is a real letdown, as is the microphone quality during phone calls. These are probably related to each other. There is a feeling online that Sony have had QC issues with these buds, so I may be a victim of this, I haven't had a chance to contact support to deal with it. Is it bad enough to ask for my money back? Not quite, though I probably should. Will it put me off buying Sony earbuds again? Yeah, I'll probably go back to Bose. They can also be a bit flakey when connected to my garmin watch, though this may be a problem with garmin more than Sony. I have no way to tell.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound, however certain weaknesses I got the headphones a couple of weeks ago as a replacement for my Samsung bluetooth headphones. The sound is beyond comparison, with Sony boosting sound quality comparable to some of the best wired or ear-covering headphones I have had. However, there are certain issues - frequent interruptions, some sound noises that the counterparties here while talking via the Sony headphones, as well as some kind of annoying notifications while changing the position (which can, luckily, be disabled). At least I hope it's those notifications that led to frequent interruptions too. All in all, at that price, I expected much more, greater stability and immaculate quality. Unfortunately they seem at moments like a beta version. Using them with a Samsung S21 Ultra.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Effective Noise Cancelling These ear buds give good control and effective noise cancellation. There is a rich feature set, and the charging/carrying case is convenient, small and charges wirelessly. The integration with my phone works well, and it successfully associates with multiple devices smoothly. The only downside is the size - they are bigger than many in-ear buds, but that buys you loger battery life and better processing, but possibly at more risk of falling out!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quite simply stunning... So in my 50 ish years, I have owned many pairs of headphones and earbuds either wired or Bluetooth, small, big, in-ear, and "cans". Music is my passion I listen to music whenever I can and wanted a decent pair of buds for my lengthy dog walks. I have a sony Experia 5ii phone so my obvious choice was Sony earbuds so the phone and buds link in harmony. I read 1365 reviews over about 3 weeks before I made my choice and kept getting drawn towards the WF-1000XM4's and did I make the right choice. These headphones are quite simply stunning, they are well built, the case is quality the build is quality. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable and the sony app pictures your ear so you get the best fit which helps this. The noise-canceling is superb, I walk near a busy road at points and the traffic is completely drowned out. Now for the important bit, the sound, there is not much I can say apart from it is amazingly good, the base is perfect, the treble is perfect. I have a Sonos system in my house and I have said to friends and family that having these headphones in is like having the sonos strapped to my head it really is that good. There is an equalizer within the app so you can set up your music just how you like it. In Summary, if you are worried about the price, if you are reading thousands of reviews like I did just go with your gut and buy these you will not be disappointed they are all of the quality and more that you expect from sony.

You have to use the app. App bit annoying to start with, once you understand how it all works its OK. Also the Earbuds that come with them are decent but ended up using the ones I already had as they are better fit

Noise cancelling is extremely disappointing and much worse than Bose. When using the microphone for calls, the headphones switch to somewhere between noise cancelling and ambient sound and have a static sound. Ambient sound itself is extremely full of static. Honestly, they're very disappointing and would not recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love love them I got them as a Christmas present I was worried that ear buds wouldn't stay in and that they would hurt my ears but they where no problems because the app showed me how to put them on right and where able to check them when they were on my ears so I would whole heartily recommend them

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great headphones I had my doubts about wireless headphones as always though wired are better. These are magnificent and really do deliver in terms of sound quality. I use qobuz so stream music in hi-res and these headphones make the music sound even better than I thought they would. The noise cancellation is good and battery is spot on. I use them for running and had no issues with them cutting out which is also a bonus. Well done Sony another excellent product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Literally everything you could want is here These earphones are simply incredible. The sound quality surpasses over-ear headphones that I also own and the setup was seamless. With sound upscaling, Sony's superior codec and the brilliant equaliser settings, they have truly created a masterpiece worth its price, if not more. I can highly recommend this to anyone who can afford it, as there is nothing else that you could ever desire from headphones.

Not impressed that they failed so quickly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from All round brilliance I was apprehensive around some of the reviews re ear fit & treble weakness. Also the size of the buds. Absolutely nothing to worry about. The buds fit my medium sized lugs perfectly. Wore them last night for 4 hours straight and no discomfort with the large foam tips. The case & buds are tiny. The case could almost be described as cute. Out the box there is treble weakness and a muddled middle sound. 10 seconds to fix in the great Sony Heapdhone app. I went for Bright but with slightly lower treble and 2nd lower channel. Clear Bass 2 or 3. The case lid is a little flimsy but no give like some of the earlier units I've read about. Overall, the WF-1000XM4s are some piece of tech and the best buds I've owned. Upgrading from RHA TruConnect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good features I bought this pair of ear buds as a normal person being impressed about all the marketing reviews online but they are not quite like that impressive like the presentation says. Lets start this step by step, design of the product is very impressive and gives you the feeling that you are in the some futuristic movies, they are extremely light weight and the sound is more than enough for such a small sound devices. They are very comfortable in the ear and you don't feel them if you wear them for long periods probably because of the redesign of the tips made from polyurethane foam. Lets speak about practicability, the noise cancelling feature is doing its job on about 60% and when I say that is because I am cycling every day so that was the real reason to buy them but to experience the best sound cancelling you have to raise the volume up on maximum and you will still hear the wind blowing loud in your ears. Indoors I could say that is a bit better. The other major problem which is extremely annoying is when you cycle or when you start running, the sound start to interrupt by time to time and I mention that is happening only in one ear bud not both of them and I repeatedly checked my phone to see if I have any problem with the connection or my touchscreen been activated in my pocket by mistake but unfortunately none of this was happening and you become angry when this is happening rarely time when you walk. In conclusion I believe that I could have defective wireless ear buds or they have extremely poor connection.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor noise cancelling Purchased a few days ago. Sound quality good although I’d like volume to be higher. Noise cancelling is very disappointing. I have over ear XM3’s which are amazing. I knew buds wouldn’t be as good but there is almost no difference between NC on or off. To begin with the sound wasn’t very good - I used the earbud setup as instructed which advised the small buds. When I couldn’t get a decent quality sound I changed to the large buds and improvement was huge (although I accept I may not have fitted the smaller ones quite right). Disappointing for the high price

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound clarity and application I like the quality of the product overall. Though the ear-tips were not comfortable for long time and I think if they were rubber instead of memory foam they would be better since the memory foam material produce heat after 30 around minute, but those tips are replaceable after all. There is a buzz sound in the right pair while it is in noise-canceling or ambient modes. I should contact sony about this issue. Noise canceling is good but not the best. But in general it is amazing product and I strongly recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the noise cancellation Bought these a month ago. Had a few problems initially determining which were the best ear pieces to get real noise cancelling but, once sorted, I have been really impressed with them. The only slight snag I have with them is getting them out of the case, which is a reasonably tight fit. Maybe it's because I have biggish hands - but it's not a major problem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not what I expected I am disappointed with this purchase. I expected more for the price. To be honest, i have no questions about the sound, everything is great with it. These are the best TWS earbuds (by sound). But I have REALLY problems with them. My earbuds live their own kind of life: the touch buttons either don't work at all, either turn on/off the track by their own desire, without my participation. It makes me so angry!. Also, my auricle turned out to be small for them. They fall out of my ears when I walk. I have an android phone, but occasionally the headphones decide to disconnect and reconnect time by time. Please fix these bugs. It's just impossible! And all the people next to me hear my music. Why is this happening for this price???. Did I really pay 270 euro????

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent sound and features I bought the Sony XM4s to complement my Jaybird Vistas (which are used for sporting activities). The Sony buds are lightyears ahead in terms of sound quality, and the noise cancelling is excellent! The touch interfaces are good, though sometimes it's difficult to know whether the tap has worked unless it does what you had intended (i.e. to either start/stop a track or to advance it), so a slightly louder blip or some other indicators of positive button press would be useful. About the only think I don't like about the buds is the compression foam in-ear piece. They were challenging to fit, but also seem to dry out the ear canals, leaving the skin quite sensitive. A silicon-based material might be a better option. I might also add that the buds are also slightly difficult to remove from the case. The magnet is quite strong and there isn't much purchase space on the buds to easily pull them out, especially if you have large fingers, so all in all the act of putting them in your ears is about 3x slower than my Jaybirds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound! Look, feel and build quality is very good at this price point. The environmentally friendly packaging is also a welcome change and a first in my recent experiences with similar products. The magnets and batteries, and likely lack of serviceability is likely to be a long term environmental issue with these earphones. In terms of sound, again at this price point, I would say is excellent - even (natural) bass and extended highs. My only immediate complaint is with the ear tips supplied by Sony - none of them fitted my ears and the earphones would not stay in place. I solved this issue by using OEM double flange silicon ear tips. Long term comfort remains an issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent sound and ANC Top quality sound, ANC performance and ambient mode. But hearable white noise is present in all modes. Controls adjustment also can be improved: the app allows to select one of predefined controls presets for each earbud but doesn't allow to modify the preset or create a custom one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Sound and Great Features I've had the buds for about 2 weeks now and I'm very happy with the fit. They are comfortable and have never once slipped out of my ears. Sound quality is incredible. Companion app is very good and helpful in identifying the correct fit for your ears. The noise cancelling is very good and so is the Ambient Sound mode. Suggestions for Improvement: 1 - Multi-point Bluetooth - this is about the only disappointment I have with these earphones. 2 - More customization of the buttons for left and right earbuds. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to control Volume, Skips songs and change ANC on/off with the two buttons. Other earbuds do this very effectively (Think Jabra 85T)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb earphones! The sound is rich and warm and imo so much better than Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 that my Dad got with much crisper but sharper sounds overall. Battery life is great it can run around 5 hours or so at one go and charges quickly. I've observed that the left earbuds in general uses up battery quicker but I suppose it has to do with the fact that that side is where most controls are at.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Almost there! Great sound quality and comfortable fit. I am really happy with my Sony earbuds but would like a couple of additional features to suit my use: 1. They never connect first time to any of my devices, so I have to go into Bluetooth settings and connect from there even though they are in my paired devices. 2. Switch off when no sound connected. I like to use them to listen to music when I go to sleep. I set a timer on my device but the earbuds stay on throughout the night, leaving little power left in the morning. Auto switch-off after 20 mins of no use would be great. Otherwise, I love my Sony WF-1000XM4 Wireless Earbuds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredible Sound Ruined by Uncomfortable Fit These earbuds have excellent sound quality, the best I have heard from earbuds. The ANC was also extremely efficient. Unfortunately I could not find a way to get a comfortable fit which resulted in me not being able to wear them for more than 30 minutes at a time. Using the smallest ear tips not only did my ear canals soon start hurting but also my inner ear lobe as the exterior pushed down on them. I tried everything as I really wanted to get on with them as loved the sound quality, ANC and overall functionality but regrettably I had to return them due to the pain they caused to my ears. Maybe my ears are in the smaller size and I am sure others would get on with them fine but it seems there is a sizeable proposition of users who do struggle with these earbuds to get a comfortable fit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wind Noise destroys great headphones Noise cancelling is excellent, but WIND NOISE disturbs the sound in "Ambient Sound OFF" mode. Telephoone conversations are worse, and can be impossible in low wind conditions. There is a software fix on another SONY product (in ear?) but not on the over ear WH-1000XM4 headphones. This makes them especially bad in phone conversations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Recommended for large ears only Excellent sound reproduction and impressive noise cancelling. Not scoring five stars because this product is not for everyone, and would advise avoiding if you have small ears. I have rather large ears and in the first hour of use even I was experiencing ear fatigue with my antitragus and concha areas hurting on both sides because of the over-large outer circular enclosures that sit inside. The pain was unrelated to the ear-tips in the auditory canal where I experienced no discomfort using the medium-sized buds. Fortunately after a week of wearing, my pinnae got used to the stretch, and I now enjoy pain-free hearing. However, I would probably have returned these earphones if I had normal-sized ears and can only imagine how much they would hurt people with small ears. Summary: excellent technology, punitive ergonomics.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent all round experience! Owned these headphones for several weeks now and can say that all the praise they receive is well justified, the sound quality is just amazing (ensure a proper fit first!), there is a good balance of highs and lows, and the noise cancellation is great as well-though I do keep it on ambient for most of the time. The Sony headphones app offers a lot of customisation options to personalise the headphones which is nice, as is the Google assistant integration which comes in handy every now and then. One thing that caught me by surprise is the quality, they are well built and the rubber tips are of a shape adjusting material (much like memory foam in mattresses) so can fit well to create a secure closing. Definitely recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great produce with one flaw Sound quality is great. The connection has been rock solid and the various functions like pausing when you speak are excellent. My only issue is the tips no longer come with the smallest size in the box, like previous generations. The smallest is still too large for me so I’ve had to take the ones off my old Sony ear buds to use, which don’t match the grey colour of the new ones. I appreciate a lot of people won’t have this issue but with all ear buds it makes or breaks the product. Sony don’t even sell them so you can’t do anything about it and even their help desk said I should buy 3rd party alternatives.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound but.. The only thing missing is being able to store the buds back into the case without charging them. I use the buds sometimes and hour at a time or even less. The constant topping up the bud batteries from 96-98% back to 100% surely cannot be good for the lifespan. Maybe there should be a feature where you can top them up only when they drop down to a certain percentage or when you want to top them back up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good features but charge issue I have had these for 16 days. The features, including the connectivity and noise cancelling appear OK. Unfortunately the right one intermittently does not appear to charge. It's very frustrating when starting a new day's work and it announces "battery 8%" or similar and cutting out minutes later. My Airpods Pro (unfortunately chewed by the dog) always felt dependable so I'll be be kicking myself if I identify what's going wrong and resolve the issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just great earphones I am a Sony products enthusiast and I just always find the Sony sound quality, the sound I need and love. I am not much of a reviewer but from a simple product user, I found that my new WF-1000XM4 is perfect for my ears. The build of the earphones find perfectly inside my ear lobe, they really are the best in terms of noise-canceling, in fact, I was stunned about the efficiency of it, and the quality of the sound is just Sony I expected. Overall, I am more than satisfied with the product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent sound quality and battery duration but.. A bit uncomfortable to wear. Not unbearable but not the best either. I've heard buying separate earbuds than the default memory foam ones can be a way around this but it's a shame that that's necessary. And unless I'm doing something wrong (I don't think I am), the noise cancelling doesn't seem the best. I can still hear what's going on at normal room volume pretty well, and at the gym on a busy day I can barely hear my earphones over the outside noise unless I turn the volume up painfully high. I have a feeling this may also partially be due to the memory foam earbuds, but I can't be sure until I've bought new ones. The sound quality really is excellent though, no complaints when using these at home.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from As good as it gets!!! Where do I begin! I’ve read a few reviews where people say they have difficulty getting them in the ear but I can honestly say I’ve had no problems at all, in fact I’d go as far to say they are easily the best fitting buds I’ve ever had. The only problem I’ve found is they are so comfortable you almost forget they are in. On the sound front they are simply amazing!!! The app is brilliant and does exactly what you’d expect from a top end Sony product. I’m currently watching the Rugby on the TV whilst the Mrs and the baby girl sleep… AWESOME almost as good as being in the ground. If you’re debating whether they are worth the investment, all I can say is I’ll be amazed if you’re disappointed. Genuinely as good as it gets!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very good quality ear buds The sound quality is quite exceptional. Surprised at how well they handle bass notes and the highs are crystal clear. They stand good comparison with my Sennheiser over ear 'phones. Not sure about the active noise cancelling. I get the same effect using my custom fit ear plugs. As these seal into the ear canal, they do the same thing. Switching the ANC off allows outside sound to pass through. ANC is supposed to sample outside sound and produce an inverted form of that sound, thus cancelling it out. It seems to me all they do is to blog sound just like good fitting ear plugs, but then allow outside sound through from what I assume is an external microphone. I do appreciate the small case they can be kept in for charging, makes them more portable than over ear 'phones. Battery life is good but I do worry that the batteries have a finite life and cannot be changed. There will come a time I have to throw them away just because the battery is finished. Overall a good product and well recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic earbuds - but .. Thought I'd treat myself and these do not disappoint, apart from one feature that it is missing and that is MultiPoint connection as my previous headphones switched between my phone and laptop which allowed me to take conference calls and ordinary calls. These would of get 5 stars if Sony adds this functionality to the next software update, if means degrading some of the functionality when enabled then it would allow the user to decide. Especially when my £70 Aftershokz has this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better, smaller, greener! Firstly what catches the eye is the packaging in which the earbuds arrive. It is made from recyclable paper – well done, Sony! The WF-1000XM4 is newly redesigned, making them smaller, lighter, and, in my opinion, prettier than the predecessor WF-1000XM3. On the outside of earbuds are touch-sensitive buttons that work very well and control the earbuds very smoothly. The final touch on the build quality of the buds – IPX4 water resistance, which is plenty to daily use for most people. It is enough about the design and controls because the main attraction and the true gem of these earbuds are audio performance and noise cancellation. In one word – outstanding! The sound quality is excellent: punchy but balanced; perfect clarity and great dynamics! But the most significant feature is the active noise cancellation (ANC). When it kicks in, you feel like you are on your own. It shuts the outside world so well that it makes you ow! One more important area of daily use – battery life. I think it is pretty fair—the total of 24 hours (8 from the earbuds and a further 16 from the charging case). In my opinion – Sony WF-1000XM4 is the best all-around true wireless earbuds on the market right now!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive! Won't disppoint! So, to compare, I have only had a cheaper pair of wireless buds from another brand before but they fit the bill as they were wireless charging, sounded great, long battery and fit well in the ear even while running. They were not sound cancelling but as they fit so snuggly in the ear, everything else was drowned out naturally so they were good for me. In comes the Sony WF-1000XM4 which is all the above and then some! As you can see from the photos, minimalist packaging and environmentally friendly too! Once open, you are greeted with a fine small case holding the in ear beauties. Design and feel is great! Instructions seem clear and pairing to the Android phone was exceptionally easy as it was instantly recognisable. I like to switch between laptop and phone, etc and this seemed simple to do also. Instructions explained basic usage functions well however I must admit that in practice, I am little unsure how to fully and best use the device (it might just be me taking a little longer to get used to them!). I also felt at first use the volume was not loud enough but after trying various sources, I think it was just the source I initially used (TV streaming on a mobile). Other sources, in particular music, give enough volume to feel the track the way you should. There are a lot of features here and in particular, I was a little underwhelmed at the noise canelling feature (I have never had this before to compare anything to!) as I felt that when out a walk, it didn't do much for me however on a trip to Milan, I used on the Metro and walking the city and this is where Noise Cancelling came into it's own! It worked really well indeed and let me hear the audio as clear as can be. A quick press switched to ambient sound allowing external sounds to filter through also if needed for awareness. I enabled the Speak to Chat feature which I thought might be useful but it irritated me straight away as with a cough or blurting a line of a song stopped the track, it was a frustration. It may be great for some in certain conditions but was not for me at this time. Good points to note includes the Headphones app which gives control over the equalizer and settings for different environments (which the headphones can automatically recognise for you and switch between - nice touch!). Also has features to analyse your ear shape for the best fit and to optimise apps for 360 Reality audio seem to be good for audiophiles (I just haven't used them yet!). You can even customise the function buttons for each ear bud. The buds work with both Alexa and Google voice assistants (and I guess Siri too but I can't confirm this!). I haven't really used them for this yet so cannot comment. Also I haven't used yet for voice/video calls as I have not had the opportunity since receiving them but after reading other reviews around this, they seem to perform well in this regard. Some users will find the Automatic Wind Noise reduction feature a bonus (cyclists, etc) but again, I have not found a need for this yet to be able to comment. All in all, these noise cancelling headphones will not diappoint the beginner or advanced audiophile. I am in the middle of the range here and have some issues with learning the features to the best of their ability and for what I need day to day but this is a personal problem and over time, I will learn, I just haven't really immersed myself in them yet like I normally would. Out of the box, connectivity and sound quality are absolutely bang on the money. The customisable features will suit many to match their style of use and the advance options are a boon if you are in the market for this type of product. Battery life and comfort seem excellent as I used for around 6 hours straight while travelling and still had plenty of charge in the headphones and of course, the case as a power reserve. I personally find the price point for such a device a little expensive however in direct comparison to other brands and for the top of the range premium device with the range of features provided out of the box, there really is no comparison to be made here if you are willing to pay for the best in this area.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A sublime auditory experience Sony WF-1000XM4 Review So I’m going to start with my conclusion (and include it at the end) so that if you don’t want all the detail, you can get my final thoughts at the start. In conclusion, whatever you get these impressive little buds for you will not be disappointed. Music is a delight, dialogue and soundtracks are full and vibrant and calls are crisp and clear. All that with a lightweight and stylish design with excellent battery life. Seriously buy these if you want a good pair of headphones for a bit of everything. Note: I did not attempt to determine quality during play-through of games, so I am unable to recommend them for this use. Device: iPhone 12 Pro Operating System Version: iOS15 Beta 6 Music Service: Apple Music, Lossless (Streamed & Downloaded) & Deezer HiFi (for Reality 360) The Sony WF-1000XM4’s are truly a stunning piece of technology. Their form factor is small, lightweight and discreet; their charge lasts as well as Sony claims and the sound quality: brilliant! I used a wide range of songs and music to test the dynamic range of XM4’s including piano solo, soul, classical, rock, metal, pop, dance, trance, ballard, soul, R’n’B, country, opera, soundtrack, jazz and rap. Suffice to say I covered most types of music and the sound quality was fantastic! The Bass was low and punchy; the mids were soft & warm or impactful, depending on the style of music, and the highs were crisp and clear. If you’re going to listen to music through these you’ll not be disappointed at all, regardless of your music preferences. The sound stage was wide and the Reality 360 enabled tracks (available on a number of services - which I did use to test this feature) is remarkably good, similar in many ways to Spatial Audio, though it doesn’t track head movement. Still the experience is fantastic. Separation of music is also very good; particularly noticeable on classical or soundtrack pieces, the sound is separate enough for you to detect delicate notes from the likes of piccolos and harps, whilst getting the ‘boom’ from kettle drums or the low humm of a double bass. I had no complaints using the built in microphones on calls about clarity (note this was indoors only, as I’m unable to leave the house at the minute). As for receiving calls it was clear, crisp and no drop outs after 30 minutes of talking with active noise-cancellation (ANC) in use. As with most cases, the audio drops in volume when watching movies, TV shows, YouTube etc. and thus requires the volume to be increased, but that would be standard across all headphones (in-ear, on-ear & over-ear). The sound remains balanced though so you don’t have to raise the volume to hear dialogue only to be deafened if an explosion occurs on-screen; instead everything scales rather well. I tested it by watching Home, See & Truth Be Told on Apple TV+ and Star Trek Discovery on Netflix, all with the same scaled audio result. These are by no means perfect, but they are pretty darn close - especially for their price! The few minor irritants I have about them are here: they are fiddly finding the perfect fit in the ear; when full symphony or philharmonic orchestras are playing, the sound separation isn’t as clear as a top line, over-ear experience (but then I wasn’t expecting it to be anywhere near as good as these are, much less a high quality [and expensive] purpose set of over-ear headphones) and they can be irritating in the ear if you have sensitive ears. Though, if you have sensitive ears, you’re not likely to want in-ear options anyway, as you’ll know the over-ear options are more suited to sensitive ears. In conclusion, whatever you get these impressive little buds for, you will not be disappointed. Music is a delight, dialogue and soundtracks are full and vibrant and calls are crisp and clear. All that with a lightweight and stylish design with excellent battery life. Seriously buy these if you want a good pair of headphones for a bit of everything. Note: I did not attempt to determine their quality in playing games, so I am unable to recommend them for this use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth Upgrading? The WF-1000XM4 are not perfect and Sony have still missed the mark on a few things but they are a big upgrade from the previous WF-1000XM3 model and it seems they have listened to users feedback from those and made at least some of the changes that people wanted and were expecting. While I appreciate the environmentally friendly packaging if you are paying approx. £250 for a top end set of noise cancelling wireless ear buds you don’t expect them to come in a tiny egg carton style box surely Sony could have come up with something better? The first thing you will notice is the case size while the WF-1000XM3 defiantly felt better made and more robust it was a bit of a monster, not something that would sit comfortably in a pocket and on top of that it did not have wireless charging. The new case, wow how have they managed to get it so small and on top of that fit in wireless charging but saying that it defiantly feels cheaper and the lid feel that it could break off easily but that reduced size sits snuggly in your pocket. No rose gold lid all matt black & just a small subtle SONY in gold stamped on the lid so the compromise of a smaller size over build quality is not a deal break, I can live with that. The magnets are super strong I tried to dislodge them and they stayed firmly in place there is no way the ear buds should accidently fall out. I also like the charge notification light it seems much more brighter and noticeable than the previous model maybe having an all black case has helped with that. Now the main event the WF-1000XM4 themselves and what a design change from the WF-1000XM3 and in a really good way. I think that we were expecting this design first time around and while I wasn’t totally disappointed in the previous version they just felt out of proportion didn’t sit right in the ear and always felt like at any time they could fall out. The new version while they are a little chunky they sit nicely in the ear and once you find the right fit tips they don’t feel like they will fall out whatever you might be doing and I know not everyone is a fan of the new foam type tips but that’s down to personal taste and really I don’t mind them. Love the gold circular microphone that stands out on the matt black. Sound quality on the WF-1000XM3 was great but the WF-1000XM4 has been tweaked and is better still with a slightly more overall balanced sound along with the added 360, which I won’t use but I’m sure others will be pleased about. Another improvement is the microphone while I never had any real issues with the previous model it did on occasions get a bit crackly or cut in & out while using with iPhone but this new version has been issue free up until now very stable even on calls overseas via Wi-Fi have been clear with no loss of quality. The noise cancelling that Sony have developed I believe is the best out there at the moment and I tested this first during a very hot spell of weather and I sat next to an electric fan while listening to music, noise cancelling blocked out all the fan noise even while sitting right next to it. The second test came while travelling for several hours on an RAF Air tanker A330 anyone who knows these or has travelled on one will know how noisy they are inside but with the noise cancelling on it was defiantly a very pleasant experience listening to music and having the voice recognition turned on made life easier talking to the air crew when required. The third test came in 30mph winds while working overseas, and while you could certainly feel the wind the noise was pretty much cut out completely, impressive Sony. Another improvement that people wanted was to have some aspect of being waterproof/showerproof, Sony has listened and these are IPX4 rated so no need to panic when using in the gym or caught outside in a rain shower. Some things that Sony still haven’t given us which is disappointing and might be a deal breaker for some people who may not purchase the is the fact you can still only connect them to one thing at a time, while its not a major issue for me I am frustrated that this hasn’t been resolved and it’s a pain having to continually connect from my iPhone to my MacBook and back again come on Sony it can’t be that hard to resolve this for a premium pair of headphones. The second issue is the touch controls on the buds; the touch system it great very responsive never fails but at times that’s the issue, accidently touch them which can happen a lot and it gets frustrating but would I want to change this to a physical push button? No probably not. Lastly come on Sony get your headphones app sorted it is one of the most frustrating apps out there along with your music centre app half of the time I just don’t bother using it.

The Samsungs are nothing compared to Sony's in terms of fit, sound quality, noise cancelling, and features. I was pleasantly surprised on a flight back to London from Portugal I couldn't hear the plane! The XM4's do a fabulous job of noise cancelling.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from These ear buds have won me over I've always been pretty unsure about truly wireless earbuds. I have had lots of IEMs over the years and they've always found a way to work themselves loose over time so I couldn't imagine them staying very secure - or sounding that great being such a small package. However these have won me over. Pairing is a breeze and there's lots of info that's in the right place at the right time with Android. The units are very small and even the charger is small enough to lose in a bag pocket. Despite the size they sound great and have a surprisingly deep and full bass sound. The noise cancelling works well. The highest compliment I can pay is that since these arrived I've only put my full sized noise cancelling headphones on once!

I listen to a lot of music and this offers a clean sound without any distortion or false EQ, songs sounds clean and unaffected by artificial boosts or EQ. Now I can use it at the Gym to cancel out the music they play there :) I ordered from Amazon as it was in stock and next day delivery. Setting it up was easy and the app is not bad. Sometimes there is a delay when you change settings on the app and for it to update the ear buds but the playing is not interrupted.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The New ANC In-Ear King Coming from the WF-1000XM3s I was sceptical on how much Sony could improve on, at the time my favourite in-ear buds, however, the WF-1000XM4s improve in pretty much every way. Sony has packaged the WF-1000XM4s in a new, sustainable, plastic-free box which is a nice touch knowing that Sony is doing its bit for the planet. The new case is significantly smaller than the previous model and yet Sony has still managed to cram wireless charging into a smaller case. Wireless charging is such a great feature especially when your phone has a battery share feature like the Xperia 1 iii. There is still a USB-C port for faster charging. The case is light and yet it feels premium and very durable. The earbuds themselves are a lot smaller and better looking than the previous model. They fit very well and you barely notice they are in; just ensure you are using the correct size ear tips. They are also IPX4 water-resistant so you don’t need to worry about getting sweat or rain on them. New for this year, Sony has included LDAC Bluetooth codec for higher bitrate audio allowing you to get hi-res audio over a wireless connection. This is one of the best features Sony could have included because it makes such a big difference to the sound quality however not all devices support LDAC, for now, it’s mainly android devices. For lossy audio sources, the DSEE ultimate improves upscales audio to near hi-res audio quality, so no matter what you’re listening to, it should sound good. Another great and really useful feature is the pause when speaking feature. I thought this was a gimmick when I first heard about it, however, I can say it works very well and is very accurate in its timing. Even in loud environments such as the gym this feature worked every time I needed it. When you download the Sony Headphones app (essential if you want to make the most out of the earbuds) you have the option to customise the controls. There are no buttons on the WF-X1000M4s which contributes to the minimalistic and clean design, instead, there are touchpads on the side of each earbud which works pretty well when you get used to them. Call quality is also impressive thanks to a new microphone design. The biggest improvement Sony has made is sound quality, vocals are crystal clear, the bass is tight and well-controlled, I was so impressed with the audio quality that I was genuinely surprised it was coming from wireless earbuds over Bluetooth. I already thought the WF-1000XM3s sounded excellent, Sony somehow made these sound considerably better. Noise-cancelling has also had a significant improvement, whether on the bus, in the gym or in a busy canteen, the WF-1000XM3s were able to drown out the noise with ease, very impressive for wireless in-ear buds, especially considering how small they are. Overall, the Sony WF1000XM4s are excellent in any situation, they are the best option for any audiophile looking for wireless earbuds. However, given the feature set, they can also be used in any other situation such as the gym, during commutes and when making calls. Highly recommended and definitely the king of active noise cancelling earbuds.

There’s also a dedicated app in which you can customise the sound to suit your listening preferences, very well put together they are quite chunky but not heavy , all in all a good product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A dream come true for earphones. I've been always a big fan of on-ear headphones. I found them particularly comfortable and they are indisputably the best option for noise-cancelling features. So, I admit I was a bit sceptical about the WF-1000XM4, especially about the noise-cancelling part. I carried out a series of test during four days which I believe will answer a number of questions of those who are hesitating about purchasing them. Read below: FOR GYM-GOERS - I have always had one big problem with headphones when exercising: they always fall when I'm on the treadmill! Whilst I can tell you that this issue was over since I've got my wonderful WH-H900N few years ago, I cannot deny they are a bit bulky. Well, the WF-1000XM4 resolve both problems, they are not bulky at all and the best part, they did not come out of my hears when running! I think a big merit of that is the fact that you can choose the size of the tips included to adapt to the size of your ear canals. That also means, veeeery important, no sweat gets into your ears (people that goes to the gym and sweat buckets like me will understand). I only recommend that, once you finish your routine, to clean them immediately, just shake them a bit to remove any sweat and you can use some wipes just like the ones for spectacles to gently clean them all around. That will keep not only the earplugs clean but also the container. Come one guys, hygiene goes first! ON THE STREET - Good noise-cancelling although you are still able to perceive some noise. I believe it is normal, after all, the only way to fully isolate from the surrounding noises would be some on-hear devices. I have my WH-H900N and the wonderful WH-1000XM4 that do the job immaculately. So, whilst you still have some sounds coming through that will keep you aware of your surroundings, the level of isolation is very decent. I dare to say that it is very close to what you would get from the WH-1000XM4. BATTERY - This is something that we always want do know, isn't? Okay, so I have some specifics here for you: Duration: I played music non-stop to find out how long actually I can go with them from fully charged until they switch off automatically. The result was 7 hours and 12 minutes. But allow me to give you some other details. The battery as you may guess, runs independently on each plug and, for some reason - at least on my pair - the left side battery runs out faster than on the right. For example, after an hour-ish, the battery percentage on the left side was 3% lower than on the right. After five hours, the difference was 10%. By the time the left side switched off itself, the battery difference was 16%. As you can imagine, I would not keep listening musing with only one ear-plug, so the lasting period mentioned above covers from the moment the battery was 100% on both sides until it was exhausted on the left plug. About charging, I did not pay attention on the first charge and the reason is, that both sides were around 75% when I took them out of their package the first time. But on the third charge when I actually put attention, the battery charged from 0% (on the left plug) to 100% in exactly 1 hour and 9 minutes. I hope these details are good enough to clarify questions about battery lasting. QUALITY OF SOUND - If you have tried the WH-1000XM4, then you have the answer to this question as it is very much the same. If you haven't tried those I will just saying in one word: delightful. I tested the quality with different genres of music and allow me to be specific enough so you have the best picture possible. I listened jazz: John Patitucci and Steve Vai, pop and rock: U2, Coldplay, R.E.M., Radiohead, Def Leppard and Brian Adams. Also I tested it on classical music, mainly Haydn and Bach. Finally I gave it a go with Buenavista Social Club and closed with some electronic Chillout. Every single track was crystal clear. So, if you are a music lover, these earphones will not let you down. If you are after reggaeton and rap and all that, oh well... nothing will make that stuff to sound good anyway. CONTROLS - easy to manage. Obviously, the number of functions you can get in such reduced surface is limited, but enough for the activities I enlisted above. I just played a list of tracks in the gym and let them run whilst doing my fitness. You get the double tapping to answer a phone call (the reception of the microphone is marvellous) and all-in-all the usual very instinctive, well designed and user-focused product that Sony can bring to us. 360 REALITY AUDIO - Okay, this one is the big thing about the WF-1000XM4. I was one of those that refused to accept that a pair of earplugs would match the magic of 360 RA that I've got in the WH-1000XM4. So, I bite the bullet and withdraw my words. These earplugs offer you exactly the same involving effect. How do Sony achieved this, ask the engineers. I'm just enjoying it. The downside is that still this function is limited to few apps. I hope they will offer this with Spotify in the future (Very very please, Sony!). Alongside the above point related to the apps available for the 360 RA, I recommend you to switch off the alerts of the Adaptive Sound Control or they will drive you crazy. I mean, yeah, your device is learning how to perform depending of the activities you do and that's what you expect so, why bother receiving alerts telling you "I'm learning that you are walking", "I'm learning that you are standing", "I'm learning that you are in transport"? Again: Yes, I know you are doing it, I don't need to know the details every second and get interruptions in the music. So, do yourself a favour and switch off the notifications. So, as a result of this test, I can tell I'm extremely pleased with the WF-1000XM4. For Sony fans I tell you this: you get all of the benefits of the WH-1000XM4 without the bulk. For newbies in the world of Sony, you get the best earphones in the market and you won't be disappointed in quality and value/money. Be reasonable in terms of the noise-cancelling physical limitations, let's hope that Sony to works out a wider range of apps to support the 360 RA (surely soon) and switch off the notifications aforementioned. A dream come true for earphones, no doubt.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What do you want to hear? Your Choice! I've been using these excellent earphones for a couple of weeks now and I'm really impressed. The sound quality is very, very good and the compact size of the phones and charging case is unbelievable considering what they can do. I did however find the trade off for me is that I find the phones a little difficult to release from the case - but I am getting more efficient. The app is good, in particular for the fitting the earbuds both for comfort and a good seal. You may think you have made the right choice of earbud only for the app to correct you. My wife has never taken to using earphones because she has never found any that are comfortable and feel as though they are secure in her ear. She has tried these and the ear fitting shape and the consistency of the earbud tips has prompted her to add a 1000XM4 to her Christmas list. Because I need to listen to the tv at a higher volume level than my wife I have paired the earphones with my tv. The problem is solved and we can both now hear those very quietly spoken dialogues in comfort. I am a passionate competition photographer and spend many hours editing images and video in our office. Of course the room has a constant buzz of hard drives and fans and I am quite aware of possibly developing Tinnitus. I now wear the Sony earphones on a daily basis simply for the noise cancelling. They work beautifully and the simple tap settings for switching to ambient sound when anyone comes into the room, answering calls and occasionally listening to quiet music whilst I work are very welcome. Of course these earphones have so much more to offer and I will be getting to know more over the coming weeks. They look cool, perform very well and are a quality addition to my daily life. When it comes to listening to what you choose to hear and shutting out the sounds you don't want then these are excellent. I really like them

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SIMPLY AMAZING EARBUDS Having owned the previous version of Sony's wireless headphones WF 1000XM3 I knew the new XM4 would be worth the wait. These aren't just an update of the previous version but a completely new set of redesigned earbuds. The sound from them is nothing short of brilliant. They sit better in the ear than the previous ones and are more comfortable to wear. I listen to a lot of dance music and the sound is amazing, Crystal clear highs and lows with the noise cancelling its almost like your inside a recording studio the sound is that good. The battery is improved in both the buds and the charging case and I'm getting an extra 2 hours of usage than the previous model with the Bluetooth connection being rock solid when paired to my phone. As with all Sony equipment the build quality is second to none and though only small the buds weight and feel are top notch. If anyone is on undecided on purchasing these headphones I can guarantee that you won't get a better sounding pair of earbuds. Another nide addition is there is no fancy plastic packaging just a simple recycled material box to cut down on environmental waste. Well done Sony amazing earbuds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SIMPLY THE BEST These Sony in ear headphones are excellent, the build quality is superb, there very light and do not look out of place when in use, The combination of the materials used in manufacture is again second to none, bluetooth connection is both quick and constant, the IOS app is very intence but logical so easy to navigate and learn, I own a few pairs of ie headphones, these are now my preferred dailies, the charging case is tiny so can easily be carried in your pocket, wireless charging is also a great feature, I've heard other reviewers advising pinching the new foam tips and squeezing them into your ear canal, I find doing this just encourages ear fatigue, my preferred ear tip sits in my ear canal snugly and creates a great seal and stays in place, thank you Sony for another great product

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing sound quality and noise cancelling! WOW! Where do I start with these headphones, they are simply awesome! Firstly, I really applaud Sony for reducing the plastic in the packaging which there is very little. The vast majority of the packing is recyclable or biodegradable. Now on the headphones - The first thing I noticed was how small the case with, it is very portable and small enough to fit anyway. USB-C charging which is great. Upon pulling the headphones out of the case I was struck with how compact they were. They are automatically set to Bluetooth pairing and it was very easy to pair to my Android phone. Once paired I was able to customise them in the Sony Headphone with lots of great options to customise, for example what tapping on each headphone does. I currently have my set so the right earphone is used to skip track, one tap for pause, two for skipping to next track and three for going back a track. The left one is used to change volume, a quick tap to increase the volume and hold to turn the volume down. The headphones are very responsive to taps and I never had any issues when tapping the headphones. One great feature that you can use through the Sony headphone app, is that it will tell you if you have the correct size earbuds on, very helpful You can customise the headphone to use either Amazon Alexa or Google assistant as well. Upon playing some different type of music, the sound quality of these headphone is outstanding. The bass, treble and mid-range are very clear. I am blown away as to how good the top end is of the headphone. I had to boost the bass a little, but that is my personal preference. I have used these headphones whilst out walking the dogs and the noise cancelling is outstanding. I was not able to hear any outside noise and was in my own little world of music. You can customise the settings so you do hear some ambient noise. I cannot recommend these headphones enough and will probably be using these more than my WH-1000XM3, go buy these headphones!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing earphones I had been waiting for these to come into my local richer sounds store for awhile now,I picked them up a couple of days ago,and boy was it worth the wait! I've had numerous earphones over the years,from jabra to Bose and many more in between, but these babies trounce the competition hands down,the initial setup is a simple one,you have to download the Sony connect app from the relevant place,once downloaded you have so much to play with like unbelievable ANC to equalisers and many more features,there's too many to mention,it is very important to select the right eartips as this is where the magic happens,the app will recommend which ones are best for you with a short audio test,you have small medium and large tips which are very comfortable,when you have selected the right one's for your ears,all I can say is wow!the sound is nothing short of incredible,thumping bass to amazing clarity in vocals,just get these you won't be disappointed

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My best earphones yet I only got these a few days ago and the setting them up was really easy, the instructions are very clear and detailed, telling you how to pair with your phone using Bluetooth, select the correct earbuds for best fit and how to use the earphones for calls. What I really liked was the ability to assign the controls to either ear in the settings, this was very useful as I am left handed needed to change them. The sound is crisp, clear and very submersive, you can hear all the nuance and depth of the music. I love these earphones, and I am still exploring all of the functions and different sound settings for them. They are a quality product that I am really happy with.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is what in-ear headphones should be The WF-1000XM4 Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones arrived in very well made, compact, and fully recyclable packaging, which was nice to see. Inside the packaging is the compact storage and charging case with the headhpones themselves within. First impressions are of a very good quality and strudy design in both the case and the headphones themselves. Applying pressure to any part results in no flex or movement at all. The headphones are retained in the case magnetically which keeps them from rattling around and keeps them in good contact with the charging pins. Once again, the design and execution oozes quality. The headphones come with 3 sizes of buds. I had to use the smallest and even the the fit was a bit neat but I have very narrow ear canals and I can rarely use in-ear type headphones so I suspect that there will be fine for everyone else with non-freaky ears. There is a dedicated App to allow you to customise the behavious of these headphones but I didnt use it much. Just pair with bluetooth and away you go. First impressions of the sound quality blew me away. I really didnt expect such quality from bluetooth wireless headphones. I have some pretty expensive over ear headphones and so set my expectations modestly. However, there is a stricking delicate, open and airy nature to the treble. Every detail rendered clearly without ever a tendancy to harshness. The bass was smooth, rich and deep. Completely beleiveable and with no tendancy to overblown nightclub like lows. If that's your thing, you may be able to adjust the response, but it's certainly not mine. The imaging was stable defined. This was a revelation for me, as I assumed that the latency on the wireless links would pretty much destroy the stereo image, but I was completely wrong. Yes, of course the headphones show the inevitable 'in-head' localisation which is unavoidable with in-ear headphones but it doesnt distract. Vocals were natural and engaging and each thread of the music was easy to follow. I listened to many of my favourite tracks and these headphones made me fall in love with them again. I'm not 100% convinced I can comment much on the noise cancelling for 2 reasons... 1) I was really only using them in a quiet location, and 2) I think the tight fit provided good sound isolation anyway. So, in summary, these headphones exceeded expectation in every way. I really don't think Sony have put a foot wrong with the WF-1000XM4. Top end design, top end sound.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow, just wow!! If somebody is reading this review to you and you can’t hear a thing they’re saying, then you’re probably wearing the Sony WF-1000XM4 ear buds with their noise cancelling function switched on. If you’re reading it to yourself out loud, however, that’s fine as they’ll detect the fact that you are talking and stop the music so that you can hear yourself speak……yes, they really do do that! These incredible ear buds from Sony feature the latest noise cancelling technology which you need to hear, or not, to believe! With the noise cancelling function on, I genuinely thought that my wife was simply mouthing words to me as a little joke……..word of warning……she wasn’t!!!! They exude class from the moment you open up the fully recyclable box until you position them comfortably in your ears. They sound phenomenal, look great and most of the time you don’t even notice that you’re wearing them. They’re not cheap, but you do get an awful lot of functionality and quality for your money. Added extras such as wireless charging and 24 hours battery life (8 hours for the buds themselves and an extra 16 hours “in” the case), I would consider luxuries, but ones that help to make living with the Sony WF-1000XM4’s even more pleasurable and easy. The worst thing about them, if you consider it a negative, is the name….Sony WF-1000XM4” is quite a mouthful. Personally, “Sony Buddies” or “budd1es,” if you’re trendy, would roll off the tongue much better, in my opinion. To sum up, the sound quality, which is the main point of getting ear buds in the first place, is first rate and customisable via the impressive app, so that you can easily get the sound you’re after. The pausing of the music when you speak, negating the need to “tap” anything, or remove them from your ears, works perfectly and is probably my favourite function. These “buddies” will be taking up residence either side of my head for significant periods of my leisure time……thank you Sony for producing such an outstanding product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very poor I purchased my in ear WF-1000XM4 headphones online from the Sony Centre at Camberwell following the many good reviews I had read of the product. The sound quality from the headphones is excellent, and I would have rated them 5 star for that. However, the ear fitting is simply awful. I have tried each set of earbud tips. In order to achieve air-tightness as measured by the app, I use the midsize tips. These are very uncomfortable and on occasions, for example if I am talking on a Zoom call, they come loose. I called the Sony Centre and asked if I could exchange the WF-1000XM4s for the over ear equivalent, the WH-1000XM4 as I do like the sound quality of the Sony range. I was told a sales director would get in touch with me to sort this out. I have heard nothing. So now I have a set of in ear headphones that are simply not fit for purpose due to the discomfort and poor fit of the earbud tips. I had previously used Bose in ear headphones with no problems. I'll go back to Bose - the Sony quality is simply not good enough and the after sales service is non existent.

Speaking on the phone is super easy and I was able to have my window down whilst moving at speed in a vehicle and there was no wind interference at all! Overall I'd give these a 10 out of 10

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Repeated dropping of connection. Random sound mode 3 months in and I am not impressed with the functionality of these headphones. I would say in any 3 or 4 hour period, I will lose connection to whichever device I am connected to at least 5 times. (laptop, desktop or mobile). I do not have any issues with the WH-1000's. Also the sound mode changes when removing one bud and reinserting. I also have differing results when removing one bud, say for example if listening in bed, I remove either left or right to I can sleep on the other side....sometimes they just turn off, sometimes they lose BT connectivity, sometimes the sound mode changes. I have removed the touch controls, have reinstalled software, I have been through all the hoops to make sure it's not me being inept. I won't be buying the XM5's after this experience.

However the battery has failed in one ear bud following a software update, an issue Sony is aware of, but declined to repair or replace free of charge. I would advise you steer clear of these unless you want to replace this high priced product much sooner than you might reasonably expect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love these - almost perfect I’ve had these for a month now, I’m picky with headphones and these are fantastic. Sound quality and noise cancelling is superb. The feature where the headphones can detect what you’re doing like walking and automatically adjust the amount of ambient noise is brilliant. A big plus for me is the small size of the case which can easily fit in my pocket so I take them everywhere. I own another pair of high end earbuds which I’ve stopped using because the case is too big. My only slight gripe is it seems odd that the volume can’t be changed with the earbud touch controls like most earbuds. I’d like a bit more customisation for this to be available.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cannot get these earphones to work properly now I purchased these earphones in September 2021 and have not used them much since then. Now they will not charge properly or retain their charge. I followed all the reset instructions on the website but cannot get them to work for more than a couple of seconds and cannot even load the new upgrade to version 2 of the firmware. I am very unhappy with this product which was supposed to be a premium product at at premium price.

Its really poor experience ever. The problem arrived after the software update. I tried to rest the app and earbuds but still it remains same. Too frustrated. I contacted Sony support and they didn't give proper response. Never ever thought that this costly earbuds will last less than one year. It's really worst experience ever. This brand earbuds is not at all recommended

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great headphones, weak battery I bought the headphones a little over a year ago and am mostly very satisfied with them. The features are great, the noise-cancelling works really well and they fit very nicelly. The only two things I have learnt are not too great are the foam tips (they wear down quite quickly) and the battery. I have now sent my headphones in for repair, because the left bud is completely decharged after mess thank 1 hour of listening to music while the other still has about 90% left. I don't know how much it will cost me, because the garantee for batteries is only up to 6 months, but I still wanted them fixed, because over all I'm really happy with them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good but not a great all rounder I bought these ear buds to replace a Jabra pair where only one bud was working. When listening to music, the sound is great as is the noise cancelling, however when I take a phone call the caller can't hear me so I have to take the buds out and take the call using my phone directly which is a shame. Also the buds are a little too big. Using the adaptive noise cancelling feature, the buds play an annoying tone when switching between modes.

For how much I paid for them I would have expected a lot more from Sony. I have previously had Soundcore cheap ones that lasted for 5 years. I now have no choice than to suffer cheap ones with less sound quality as I can afford to spend over £200 every 2 years for earbuds. I contacted Sony and they are out of warranty so I have yo pay to get them repaired. I really look after all of my electrical items so they have never been misused or got wet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Two year battery life The earbuds were good whilst they lasted. Sound and noise cancellation was good. The issue started to arise about 18 months into use, where the left earbud battery drained from 100% to 0% within an hour. This is unacceptable for a supposed premium product. Contacted Sony who took me through the usual spiel of resetting the earbuds to no avail and the next stage to send them off for repair. I don’t think paying in excess of £100 for battery replacement is on. Will think twice about purchasing another Sony product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Don't buy - extreme battery drain I bought this only a year and a half ago and used it the way I'm supposed to. About 1.5 months ago, the right bud started experiencing extreme battery drain. Now, I can't even listen to 3 to 4 songs before the battery is completely drained. This is insane, the product is expensive - I expect high quality and durability. It's a shame, really, but this will prevent me from buying expensive Sony products in the future. As it turns out there are a lot of customers suffering from the same issues: extreme battery drain. This issue casts a huge shadow over a product that provides excellent sound quality, what a shame.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Earbuds sony Everything the reviews say regarding sound quality noise canceling functionality are spot on, all are very good. Battery on the other hand is shocking and so is Sonys response in dealing with a known problem. My battery on the buds and case failed on both, with the deterioration starting 12months after buying, resulting in me unable to use for more than 10 mins. Unfortunately I couldn’t find my receipt and the retail shop I brought from could not help me. After research I learnt that this was an issue with this particular product and people across the globe we’re experiencing exactly the same experience with some people stating that Sony have acknowledge the fault. I contacted Sony and all they offered was a chargeable fix, so no help with a problem that should have resulted in a recall. Very disappointed with a product that cost early 300€ and only lasted 18months. Sony are aware of the fault but are not prepared to deal with it in a responsible manner. Ps my research on this did discover that people in Japan appear to be receiving replacement or repairs without charge including those without proof of purchase.

To be honest if I lost them I'd replace within 5 minutes as I can no longer imagine living without them.

They stay in securely and comfortably and give a good account of themselves in all situations. Connection to two devices is a real game changer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Insane battery drain with ANC enabled I bought these a year ago and two months ago I got an issue that looks like software issue, however I might be wrong. There is insane battery drain with ANC enabled. Sony Support redirects to the local maintenance center and local maintenance center redirects to the shop I bought them from. As I see from other comments and other forums I'm not alone with the issue. Also 2 my friends have the same issue with wf-1000xm4. So problem with my pair is not an exclusion but a rule for these headphones. I do not recommend buying, at least until Sony fixes the issue, and I do not recommend to upgrade them if you do not have any issues with your headphones. New features are not worth it. Lot of people have exactly the same issue for a quite a long period of time and there are neither new updates of the firmware nor reasonable explanation/fix. It's very sad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fully featured I've had it for just a couple of weeks; a rather expensive purchase by any measure, but one that leaves the feeling of money well spent. An exiting and powerful sound, yet clear across the board; perfect for Hip Hop listening sessions. Battery life is great; though I am concerned about the large difference in battery drain between the earbuds (when the R sise dies out, the left side is left with around 20%, which does not seem normal to me). Putting that gripe aside, I'm able to exceed 4 hours of continuous music playback with LDAC, DSEE on and NC and volume at moderate levels. Oh, and I doubt that the NC can be beat; I work in a construction environment and this thing practically places you in a (almost) absolutely quiet space by the tap of a finger - a rather surreal experience!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from OK if you find it for cheap Sound quality is decent, but not stellar by any means. Bass is great. Quite comfy, but not for more than 2-3 hours at a time. I wish there was an option to manually configure the controls. I wish there was the ability to stop playback + activate ambient sound in just a tap (not by having to hold the finger on them). Sometimes they temporarily disconnect, but for less than second, so not a big issue. The 360 reality sound is just a fling. Unimpressive at best, despite the intro in the Sony app suggesting otherwise.

I wish fund my earbuds was available or left behind

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Uncomfortable and chunky. Used for total of 8hrs, honestly wish I hadn't bought them. Personally, way too big and chunky, insanely uncomfortable for me, it's like having two little rocks imbedded in my ears - hurts the cartilage of my ear. Not exactly low end purchase but will look to replace with something of a more comfortable material or build. It's a shame, I really wasn't expecting more than comfort and working condition.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fully featured I've had it for just a couple of weeks; a rather expensive purchase by any measure, but one that leaves the feeling of money well spent. An exiting and powerful sound, yet clear across the board; perfect for Hip Hop listening sessions. Battery life is great; though I am concerned about the large difference in battery drain between the earbuds (when the R sise dies out, the left side is left with around 20%, which does not seem normal to me). Putting that gripe aside, I'm able to exceed 4 hours of continuous music playback with LDAC, DSEE on and NC and volume at moderate levels. Oh, and I doubt that the NC can be beat; I work in a construction environment and this thing practically places you in a (almost) absolutely quiet space by the tap of a finger - a rather surreal experience!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent little NC earbuds Own the WF-1000XM3 units and I have been wanting to try this to compare, the new units have a few extra features and the output slightly better so considering I thought the XM3 units were fantastic you will understand my rating of these excellent buds. Only one thing I wish Sony would offer at least 5 different sizes of ear bud and two types as the offering from Sony is poor compared to others BUT this is a minor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Audio Bought these a few weeks ago and so far my opinions are thus. I have compared these to my Sennheiser Momentum 2 earbuds. The audio quality on the Sony earbuds is excellent compared to my Sennheiser buds but the Sony ones are let down by quality. The case compared to Sennheiser is cheap tacky plastic that slips out of your hand and you struggle to get the buds out of the case. The app is not very intuitive and as for volume control, you have to sacrifice other control options. The battery life is good and stays high after charging if you don't use them for a week or so compared to the Sennheiser which is terrible. So, overall I prefer the Sony buds to my Sennheiser purely for sound quality and battery life. I can live with the negative quality issues.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Has it's ups and downs.For the price expected more Have the product for a month, bought new. The earbud tips are very confortable and are able to pass a great quality bass. However, after one month of use, the foam tips are already showing heavy signs of wear and tear. No water contact, no alcohol cleaning, no nothing. Just wear and tear. Not what I expected from their top of the line buds. Quality of sound is fantastic, great bass and can get really high if the user so desires. The microphone also works great. Working on a sail boat, the constant wind passing and still the voice is perfectly cought on the mic and makes no problem to the reciever of the call. However, the battery life of the buds drains insanely fast, even if only listening to music at half volume. The earbuds charger box is small and compact and is easy to carry in the pocket. Seems durable, although, I don't want to test it by having fall down on the floor as you suspect. Charges the buds quickly. Earbuds also too big. One does not "forget they are there" because long use of it makes the user uncomfortable due to size. That being said, i have no complains about the size and it's consequences since plenty of tech is cramed into it so to get the best, you need some space and that is a compromise all are willing to make. A major lack the earbuds have, when compared to other brands is, no multipoint option. Having them connect to phone and pc at the same time is a hassle remover, something that Sony as annouced but yet to roll out for the XM4's.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good earpieces with abysmal customer service The earpieces are great, it has to be said. However, I have physically had them for less than 1 month, and Sony has held them for longer, as they needed repair. The pieces had a fault with the sound, producing a metallic reverberation with speech. With music, they sounded great. This review is therefore not as accurate as the sound of the pieces I had was faulty.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good sound and features, nervous about fit The sound is good, noise cancellation helps a lot in noisy places while ambient sound is good for staying aware of surroundings. Easy to use. However, the fit makes me nervous. It's hard to be confident that the earpieces can stay in the ear. I've had them fall out, but I could feel it happening and could catch them. I've also felt them becoming uncomfortable on some extended usage. It got slightly easier to know how to fit them over time, but it's still hard to tell if they are secure.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent sound quality I bought these headphones, because I bought an Android smartphone and my AirPods Pro wouldn't work as well with Android. As far as sound quality, noise cancellation and controls, there is no comparison with Apple headphones, as these are far better (even better than the second generation AirPods Pro). As for comfort, size and transparency mode, these headphones are slightly below, however there is always a compromise to be made. In general I am much more satisfied with these headphones than the others: you have to get used to the larger dimensions and the foam rubber pads, but the features of the Sony (especially listening to the voice and the automatic pause with activation of the transparency mode), the superb sound quality, noise cancellation, battery life and design are fantastic.

For me these are the most complete and versatile for these reasons. Better noise cancellation than competitors. 360 audio compatible. Ability to use the hands-free voice assistant (Google Assistant and Alexa). Perhaps it lacks a bit in maximum volume and bass only compared to the Beats. Good housing and battery life. Maybe not suitable for all ear types, they fit very well on mine.

I have for many years now used noice cancelling headphones - in ear and bigger ones over ear. I even use a Sony smartphone. This buds are not able to remove noice when riding train, not any reduction from traffic, no home kitchen fan etc. The ear analyze has been executed and setup in phone was easy and quick. I am very disappointed. This is not worth using so i am selling second hand not used earbuds now. There are no effect on noice cancel, ambien or off modes.

The sound quality is very similar to the headset WH-1000XM2 that I use too. Another excellent feature is the autonomy of the batteries, 1 charge per week is sufficient to allow me listen music every day for a good amount of time. The only point that doesn't fully satisfy me is the in-ear stability. Very often I have this strange feeling that the earphone is falling down from my left ear, even if it isn't the case.

However, it seems that all the engineers effort were dedicated on the sound and with only little focus on the ergonomics as I personally struggle to keep them for more than an hour in my ears without hurting. In brief, good for sound and crap for comfort.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Update Review Just a quick update after an amusing example of the fantastic noise cancelling. Whilst wearing these in a pub outside Glasgow last week there was an incident in a bar that I was completely unaware of. I came to leave and the bar staff apologised the for all the disruption, I looked at them quizzically and asked 'What disruption?'. It turned out there had been a customer who had got out of hand and shouted abuse at staff and threatened another customer. Thankfully the staff called the police and it was all dealt with with no harm to anybody. The point being I was approx. 5m from all of this and blissfully unaware due to these headphones. You've got to love Sony.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One Year of Use Only I acquired my WF-1000XM4 headphones just over a year ago and was very happy until a couple of weeks back during a usual walk to work. Unfortunately the right earbud, after only 20 minutes use from a full charge, gave me a warning that the charge was below 10% and then subsequently stopped working. Subsequent uses resulted in the same and so a trip to the internet and an email to Sony was made to try and resolve the issue. I received a 'Cut & Paste' email from Sony that offered some basic reset info that failed to resolve the issue + instruction to update firmware for which no latest version in the UK is available unfortunately, although there are reports that this is a bit hit and miss as a fix. A deeper dive into forums and YouTube videos reveals that there is a battery drain issue associated with these headphones, albeit apparently earlier versions, which my headphones may very well be. As is Sods Law I am out of warranty by a month and by sending back to Sony for 'repair' i face the likelihood of an expensive bill, which most likely will be better served buying some new headphones from someone else that are more reliable. Given my experience, the price i paid for these + what i have read elsewhere from people with similar issues, I am very disappointed with the headphones and can't recommend them. It is a shame given they were great prior to my problems and for those with these headphones that have had a smooth run, I am envious!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sound quality as good as billed by What HiFi Bought for me as a Christmas gift following my reading of several reviews - currently on Sennheiser CX400BT TW which I thought were themselves a good sound quality step up from previous in ears. But these Sony's are themselves a clear step up once again in terms of sound quality/dynamics/stereo imaging. Admittedly c. £100 more than the Sennheiser's but absolutely worth it. Noise-canceling ability significantly better also so train/plane travel should be back to listening to music/films rather than partial ambient noise. Very happy !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent once I sorted buds Was a bit concerned at first as the noise cancelling was ineffective. Then realsised that this was due to the buds not really fitting into my ears well enough. The depth of the bud was too short ( down to my ears) Once i added an old set of buds from a previous paid of earphones the sound is superb (clear with sufficient base) and the noise cancelling is great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I don't understand the hype I'm not sure I can actually tell the difference with noise cancelling switched on or off. All the reviews seem to claim that it's like walking into an anechoic chamber. And yes I've checked that adaptive sound control is off. As for the sound quality, it's pretty good I guess although I suspect I'm not getting the full experience with just a SBC bluetooth codec connection. That's all my phone supports unfortunately. I had some old wired Sony earbuds before these that cost about £30 and I'm not sure I can tell the difference at the moment. It would also be nice if they went a little louder but I guess that's probably down to government legislation these days. I don't hate these ear phones, I just don't get the price they command or what all the fuss is about.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not bad. Not great. These replaced a far cheaper pair of earbuds that I was largely undecided about. These are good, but for about three times the price I'm not sure they're three times better. They do feel well made, the case is nice and they're comfortable to wear. The sound is pretty good, although the ANC (which is reasonable rather than amazing) is no better than the cheaper pair I had. The real downsides are the software and interface. The app is clunky with limited EQ presets and you can't just select the one you want, you have scroll through all of them activating them one at a time to get to the one you want. The customisation options for the earbuds are extremely limited as well. Tap once for volume up, long hold for volume down - seriously? That's a lot of erroneous double and triple taps right there; what's wrong with long press on left for volume up, long press on right for volume down like everyone else does? Also, they were an absolute nightmare to pair. I tried two different phones and they were easily the most difficult bluetooth pairing I've ever had. A touch of buyer's remorse given the price.

The sound is great, Bluetooth connection rock solid and the noise cancelling surprisingly good for buds; the case is sleek and headpone use intuitive. Would be 5/5 but for the battery life, which started out at about 7hrs but ten months later I get less than 30m from on earbud and only a bit more from the other. Very disappointing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Expensive, but worth every Euro spent After a few weeks of use I can now without a doubt say these are the best wireless In-Ears I've ever had the pleasure of using. 1. Design: After already owning the WH1000 XM3, it's a warm welcome the same copper colored accents are used and in general they are nice to look at. The case is also quite nicely designed and compact, though it could open a tad further and stay in the open position better, as sometimes it's quite hard to get the headphones out as the magnets holding them in are quite strong (that is good though my old ones tended to fall out quite easily) 2. Sound: After being treated by the WH1000-XM3 I thought that these here might not reach those heights, as over-ears tend to have the edge. But they are very close, the bass is punchy and goes deep, the highs are still clear as well as precise mids allowing me to hear much more of the music than my previous pair of in ears. All in all, it's just that much more satisfying to listen to music. 3. ANC: Wow. Simply wow. As mentioned, the WH1000 XM3s already had great noise canceling, and these are even a step above. Immediately you can hear everything getting quieter due to the great seal of the foam tips. But after turning on ANC, everything steps into the background even more. If I then start listening to music, I can hear nothing except my music, and I am in my own world. This is exactly what I want and it works great. 4. Comfort: They are comfortable and fit reasonably well, though I can't quite shake the feeling, that they don't fit the shape of my outer ear as well as my previous In-Ears. Still, I get no fatigue in my ears after prolonged use so these still get a good grade as I barely notice them. All in all I strongly recommend these for anyone wanting the best experience In-Ears can offer at this price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Crystal Clear best buds I’ve had….. ever These are the 1st top end In head phone/ear buds I’ve ever had so I’ve nothing really to compare. But they are brilliant, sounds is amazing, clear and when paired with Tidal or other 360 Spatial Audio they are even better. So my previous in ear are the middle range £75 ish. So I looked at all the options and these came out on top, so much better the Apple air pod pro and the beats fit pro. Bit heavy for the gym, but I still use them but I’d be scared to go running and one fall out and smash. So from a new year to the higher end of kit I’d definitely recommend these. The only issue is that you can’t adjust the volume from the headphones but it’s minor

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good sound, bad connection I bought this wireless headset because it was recommended in a couple of tests, but I'm not really satisfied. The setup procedure was long and not easy. Although the sound quality is reasonably good, the bluetooth connection to my iPhone is really lousy. It falls out frequently when I'm walking the streets and has to be manually turned on again. Only on very short distances between device and headset the functionality is okay. I'm considering bringing it back to the dealer with complaint.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quite possibly perfect OK, I bought these guys after much dithering about replacing my other wireless earbuds by a well known manufacturer that are very, very good. They don't have noise cancelling but have Aptx HD and fit exceptionally well due to the range of foam inserts available. So, to these beauties, first look and they are well packaged in the new Sony recycled minimalist material and packaging. Now this isn't done cheaply but with a bit of environmental awareness and class so it works well and looks good. Out of the box, they feel premium as you would expect for this price tag they come with foam inserts and some silicon ones should you wish. The fit for me is not quite right and Sony need to include more variety of foam tips to accommodate people like me so I have modified them with some from the aforementioned well known manufacturer and oh boy do they fit well now. The sound is fabulous, well spaced and full of detail, listening to high res files from Pink Floyd to Run DMC is an absolute joy. Loads of depth for the live concerts and layers of sound is very good indeed. The noise cancelling is good, not as good as the WH-1000XM5 but they are big over the ear units that tick plenty of boxes but not in this category. They are very comfortable (again possibly due to the modified inserts) and are wearable for hours on end. Loads of nice touches as we've come to expect from Sony with the Headphones app and the little tweaks like 'wind noise reduction' work really well reducing the noise whilst cycling to give you that 'immersed in the music' feel. I know these come in at the £200 mark but honestly feel that the price tag is justified as I can't see myself ever buying another pair again. I have put both of my other wireless headphones up for sale as these will just suit every activity I need them for. Quick charging and the wireless charge is a nice touch. Did I mention the sound...............................wonderful. So my advice would be to dig deep and go for it I really can't see anyone being disappointed once they have tried them, with the only downside being the choice of ear inserts available. Sony, you've got to love them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for music I have been using these now for a month linked to laptops and a Pixel 6. The proposal is a fair for the money on my opinion because: > Top price comes with top music quality, as well as top noise isolation. Music is very well balanced and with incredible quality. Great base, crisp highs... and noise isolation is very noticeable. TOP However: > Once linked to a device it keeps linking to that device... so jumping from laptop to mobile is not possible unless you disconnect the bluetooth on the device you want to jump off from (no command on the headphones to switch devices...) > They are just not an option for phone calls. I am just as good on this area with my old £30 set, I get good audio but the person I talk to struggles in outdoor environments. It doesn't seem they do isolate environment noise from voice... which is why these are not actually good value for me. On a note, I ended up changing the tips for silicon ones. The app was showing lack of sealing several times and I was struggling to fit them correctly to make the app happy. However with some old (good ones though) silicon tips they just pass the app test with flying colours anytime. Like the design, but I would personally sacrifice some range for smaller size. Personal choice here as sometimes I enjoy to squeeze my earphones under helmets... Touch buttons are great, best ones I have tried.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not Over-hyped Having read rave reviews of these earphones I decided to go ahead and purchase. Having only previously experienced wired budget ear/headphones I had high expectations, initially, I was a little underwhelmed on several levels but, after exploring the various features, performance and the associated app since purchase 2 weeks ago I have been converted and am now no longer underwhelmed. The absolute key is the ear fit of the buds/tips - pretty obvious really but, nevertheless, the desired and required snug fit is a little hit or miss but when achieved everything falls into place. Bass, treble, noise cancellation, volume, ease of use, pairing with a variety of devices and comfort do not disappoint - an absolute joy and heartily recommended. One gripe in the app is the earbud fitting test - rarely does it tick both left and right as correct, although, judging by performance as outlined the fit is clearly good...getting the right fit can be a little tricky but worth the effort.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feature rich but don't feel very durable. Sony have asked me to review these while they are looking over my pair that I've had for a little over 6 months which are currently having an issue with low volume in one of the earbuds. I'd include a few pictures but I've not seen my earphones for a few weeks now and am told there is a delay in getting my earphones fixed... The build quality is okay but not great for the price, I think the overall build could be better really. They are quite plasticky which makes them light but they feel as if they could be broken quite easily too sadly. A massive pro though is the fit and in particular the foam ear tips. Together, they are very comfortable and create a good, passive seal. I can happily wear these for extended periods without any issues really. As for sound quality, I am happy overall. For the money you can definitely get better but I think you are paying for the compact, wireless design and features like ANC and ambient sound which in loud environments can make listening to audio through these much easier. I think it is worth mentioning that these come with LDAC which I have found to massively improve audio quality when connected to my phone - it seems to have pretty good latency too. I would say these are detailed enough and can have an EQ applied using the Sony app to better tailor them to your taste but these ultimately feel like they offer good enough clarity across the board but lack in sound stage, especially when compared to even some budget IEMs. I feel like the ANC and ambient sound deserve a bit of attention on their own. They are definitely an improvement over the previous model and I would say I prefer them to what some of the competitors offer. The ANC is quite subtle for me, I feel as though I get most of the benefit passively with how good the fit and the ear tips are anyway. The ANC definitely drowns out some background noise but not all in certain settings, it preforms best with low noises like the hum of an engine but leaves a bit to be desired even what cranked all the way up. The ambient noise mode is the stand out feature for me - extremely clear and can be adjusted to let more or less outside noise in. Very handy to just use the passive noise isolation and then let some noise in this way and compared to the competition the noise that is let in sounds less artificial to me. Overall I think these are great but then you really expect that for the price they go for. I've tried a few flagship wireless earphones now and settled on these as my favourites. I can definitely recommend them assuming money is no object as I do think they are a bit expensive for what they are and I am a bit concerned about their longevity due to the build quality. The sort of person that will enjoy these will want good audio quality but also want a convenient design with a solid feature set and likely, they are a jack of all trades and do many things well but don't really master much overall.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality as usual I bought these of an auction site for bankrupt stock about a month ago and got an excellent deal which was just music to my ears. I'm no audiophile and simply but appreciate good quality sounds delivered in what appears to be in a simple fashion. I appreciate that probably isn't the case in the background but I like to keep things simple. They fit pretty well in my ears with no noticeable discomfort after a while. They feel and look quality and I can't see any cheap aspects at all. One thing I didn't realise is that case can be wirelessly charged, bonus. The noise cancelling is impressive for a set of buds compared to previous brands I owned. Obviously these aren't at the same level as the XM4 WH but hey you need to remember it's a set of buds so no arguments from me. I recommend these if you want a premium bit of kit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound quality I've used the WF-1000XM4 for a few weeks now. Very happy with the sound. I have a rega hi-fi system at home and Bayerdynamic over ear headphones. Considering the size and light weight but quality build of these in ear buds the sound is very good. Using the Sony app is essential to get the best setup and listening experience. I'm still learning as I go. For instance if I start to sing along to a favourite track, the music stops. It assumed I've started a conversation and so cuts the sound so you can hear the other person. If you remain silent the music starts again. It's only a minor hitch that I need to get used to. Once I has tried the right size bud for my ears I found a snug comfortable fit. I must say that after about 3 hours I needed a rest. My outer ear was feeling a little uncomfortable. I found mine for under £200. All in all I think that is excellent value for a piece of quality kit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound deadening ear buds from Sony Prior to purchasing these buds, I had bought a budget set from a brand I hadn't hard of before which, if I'm honest, I thought were brilliant for the money I paid for them (£12). That said, they weren't sound deadening and, as one might expect for this money, had limited features but, nevertheless, I was encouraged to go for something a little more up market. Sound has always been very important to me whether it be from my home system or on the move so, acknowledging the difficulty of being unable to try before buying (unlike conventional headphones which one can simply pop over one's head), I decided to go on reviews relying on What Hi Fi's assessment. I have not been disappointed. Sound wise these buds are excellent. Comfort a little less so although I have particularly small ears, and these buds are not especially small so it's never going to be easy for me. They do, however, have great functionality. Auto on and off, track skip and replay control. Build quality is very good but I think they would benefit from a more substantial carry case with a built in percentage remaining battery life built in. I paid £135.00 from Amazon Warehouse and, for that money, think I got a great deal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from crystal clear sound Last year I bought the overear WH-1000XM3 and got convinced by Sony headphones. For this summer I wanted some more light equipment and after some adjustments I'm convinced by the clear sound of my in-ear headphones with almost no consession to the suuround of the on-ears. The sound is even clearer and there's a very efficient wind reduction option. The speakers fit very well and feel almost unnoticed in your ears. It is important to choose the right size of the pegs. This can be made easily through the app to test the seal. The headphones look very fine and are robust. A must have for music lovers.

Even though the qulaity of the earplugs is good, they stay in your ear and have cool features like mini magnets, case is charging them, nose cancelling is dicent. it all matters not as they simply wont stay on. They automatically go to sleep regardles if you are on call or listening to music. your phones screen is off for 10 min headphones will go to sleep. Then you have to touch them to wake up, they reconnect and youre back on for the next 10 min. it is of course a software issue. just as with all Sony products always software issues

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceeded expectations Following a lot of research and reading a lot of reviews I decided to purchase these wireless earphones. I previously had a far more expensive pair by Sennheiser which were not as waterproof as suggested - although I cannot fault the quality of sound reproduction. The Sony ear phones are actually far more comfortable to wear in your ears longer term, and whereas a lot of Wi-Fi earphones reproduce music as one big grey blur, with this you can pick out individual instruments, voices, and delivery is crisp with the right level of treble and bass; albeit you can change those on the phone app to suit your listening style. The features are good, and work and are operated simply by tapping on an eardrum. I listen for protracted periods, and the charge never let me down, you can also get about three charges from the case before you need to plug it into a USB for charging. If you are looking for a high quality sound, a comfortable fit, reasonably well priced - certainly one compared with other comparable products- then look no further

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ridiculous Noise canceling is amazing. I am a builder and wear headphones 10 hours a day including the gym. Phone calls, music all day, battery lasts in a single charge. 35 minutes fully charged again. Took 30 minutes to figure out how to put in my ear, but that was on me. I’ve had beats, apple airpod, nothing close to these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound Great sounding earbuds. Bought some comply buds to go with them. Sounds even better, buds are a better fit and no sounds get through them. Just wish these earbuds where a bit louder because on my iPad the volume is quite low. Will listen on something else and see if that makes a difference.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great earbuds terribly fragile eartips These earbuds are EXCELLENT but I've had these less than a week and am incredible careful with them and the tips are just falling apart, don't also don't make it easy to buy replacements otherwise I'd have stocked up on them. I know you can contact support and they will send more out but that's a long process I don't want to go through all the time + i also don't want to replace them every week! I've avoided getting them wet or using anything abrasive on them have made sure to let them air dry before putting them in my case if they get a bit sweaty, not sure what else I can do to stop the eartips falling apart.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Had these for a few weeks now and they have been excellent. A couple of points for improvement, but nonetheless a very impressive effort from Sony. Pros: - ANC is terrific; I have to turn it off in quieter areas just to retain some level of spatial awareness - Great sound; close your eyes on a train and you can just lose yourself in the depth - the sound is definitely comparable with my WH-1000XM2s - Good, movement-resistant fit; can move a bit if you get really sweaty, but never had one fall out - Strong connection; can use them across the garden with no issue - Fantastic battery life; I use them around 1hr/day, and I think I've only charged them once in 6 weeks?! - Sensitive controls; respond well, even with wet fingers - Some customisability; can tweak things a bit to your preferences in the app - Premium design; definitely feels like your money has gone to good use Cons: - Customisation of the controls is limited to certain presets - Had some software glitches; a couple of times the bass has disappeared, and I've had to toggle between the codecs for it to come back Not perfect, but overall a fantastic offering from Sony which is well worth the money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First Class Sound and Noise Cancelling With Flaws For sound quality and noise cancelling they are exemplary. The Android App is excellent too with many features to get the best out of them, even to the point of testing the fit is correct for noise cancelling to work effectively. However, the fit is another matter. They are not the most comfortable in the ear canal and project far to much from the ear. Their weight causes them to easily fall out. One came out as I was on a bus, rolling down the isle. Then one fell out onto the road and nearly was lost down a drain. Bought to use on the go but cannot risk the possible loss at the cost. So, of no real benefit to me for the use I purchased them for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Decent headphones, useless app and support I own multiple bose and Samsung headphones and earbuds. As far as build quality goes the headphones are great but the case feels more flimsy than the competition. The sound quality and noise cancellation are great. The app is so horrible that it makes me want to tear my eyes out. The hoops you have to jump through just to get started made me want to give these back. The fact that it foes not have an out of the box find my headphones feature is baffling. It track where you are and every single detail of your life and activities yet it does not have tracking enabled. It is impossible to set it up with the find my device Google app even though sony states it is possible. The Google assistant activation is also impossible at least when it is paired with a Samsung S22 ultra. The online support articles are as useless as they get. Sony is getting down the drain, it feels like a disjointed effort of various companies still trying. All Sony is now is a components company. I want to love the headphones but the features and the app makes it a very bad experience. BOSE and Samsung all the way. Such a shame I bought these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not so good as I thought I bought my Sony earbuds wmx1004x after having done a lot of research to buy the best earbuds possible in a budget if 250 euro. It look like the sonys were always on top of the reviews or in the top 3. Features I liked in those features - best noise canceling on the market for this price. Not so impressive as hoped. - loudness and audio quality. Quality is OK but not incredible as I would hope from Sony for this price. Loudness is really a issue. A lot of my simple cable earphones also Sony but for 25-50 euro were going louder and noise quality was more or less the same as on those earbuds. -360 experience. This have to be push further to little difference with normal audio. Except those critics on this product the rest connectivity and design are good. They als stay firm in the ears what is not always easy. Kind regards

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect walking or cycling buddy. I had always problem with in-ear headphones- they just did not fit properly. No problem with my new Sony`s. Even during quite intensive cycling session they fit securely. I like noise cancellation, it does not give absolute silence in noisy street, but difference with noise cancellation on or when it is off is huge. Overall sound is very good- enough bass, good mids and heights and overall clarity. Listening musing during evening walks is pure fun. To be honest, when at home, I use my WH-1000XM3 on-ear phones, they sound slightly better, but you can not expext same from 10 times smaller pieces. But still I definitely suggest those small pieces of engineering miracle and looking forward to take them with me into beach, vacation aso.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed! Firstly, Sony products generally live at the top of my 5* list. I already own XM3 and XM4 headphones and XM3 earbuds. I purchased XM4 earbuds expecting another 5* experience, unfortunately it's not been the case. 1) Straight out of the box the sound is quite average. After tweeking them within the 'Sony connect app' good improvements can be made. 2) The stability of the earbuds bluetooth connection falls way behind even the older Sony models that I have. Apart from what I consider to be a shorter connection range they also have a particularly anoying problem whereby they lose connection between the left and right ear bud. 3) The batery life is a long way below the advertised 8 hours per charge. So far it has ranged from only 5.30 to 6.40. 4) The battery usage for the left and right earbuds are very unbalanced. Whilst it has varied, there have been occassions when the right earbud has shown zero (please recharge) whilst the left earbud still had as much as 30% of its charge remaining. 5) I have carried out several of Sony's suggested 'resets' but frankly I do not expect to have to personally carry out remedial work to sort out issues on such an expensive 'premium' brand product as this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Some issues with noise cancelling The first pair of headphones I got produced a whooshing sound in the left earpiece when the noise cancelling option was switched on. I received a new headphone but unfortunately this one produces a static crackling noise sometimes. The noise cancellation itself is pretty good though. I have had the WF-1000XM3 version which never had these problems. The earpieces are a bit smaller than for the 1000XM3 version but they stay in my ears without a problem. Tapping the earpieces to switch to another song doesn't always work and because the earpieces are so small it is sometimes difficult to hit the right spot on your earpiece.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound, Poor design, Yet-to-improve software Pros: The sound quality is one of the best in the same form factor and same price range of true wireless. Active Noise cancellation is industry leading and let you enjoy your music in train, airplane and any other places. Cons: Physical design is extremely bad. It was designed to loose/drop from your finger tips every time you try to take it out of the charging pod. You can never hold the 1000XM4 securely and I drop it almost every day of use, extremely dangerous if you try to use it and take out the ear bud on the move. Software integration is terrible: (1) first time use / setup / pairing failed multiple times, need extra patient and tolerance to setup. (2) once it was setup first time, the firmware upgrade process is terrible annoying, it retry multiple time to upgrade while you are listening your music. the sound quality after firmware update also degraded slightly after "upgrade". (3) the voice to text function on iPhone totally fail while you are on your WF-1000XM4. (4) speech quality is bad (when listen on other side), pick up too much background and voice lag. (5) "adaptive sound control" behavior is confusing and "speak-to-chat" lags & make music listening experience really bad when switching between listen mode to speak mode. Finally gave up and turn off both features.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Earbuds. Having done tons of research into some good earbuds I went ahead and purchased these. They were slightly over budget for me but having used them for two weeks or so I am over the moon that I bought them. I'm very particular about my sound and was concerned that, would they meet the standard that everybody was saying about them? On the first few hours I thought, oh no what have I done. Then I learnt from the inbox leaflets that I can download an app which will enable me to get the best out of these earbuds. Having done so I followed the instructions which are so very user friendly with come easy to get to videos. The EQ is a nice touch and apart from the presets there are a couple of openings to save personal ones. I like audio books and music of different genres. So this functionality is perfect. what I found most amazing once you have downloaded the app onto one device I downloaded onto two other devices as I do swap between my phone tablet etc. At review I'm thinking the settings are stored in the buds and or they sync across my devices Wow! Now now having enabled all the smart bits that I can only thing left to say is these are awesome earbuds and worth every single penny. I wonder whether they will ever be beaten for quality?? Very very happy purchase and a very very happy audiophile. Only thing for my own personal taste I didn't like the standard memory foam earbud tips so I replace them with some SednaEarfit Crystal Standard tips. They give me personally a more comfortable feeling. I must mention though, I am as fussy about comfort as I am my music quality. The standard ones are great. I just don't get along with memory foam. No if you're reading this, buy some you will not be unhappy guaranteed. There's plenty of YouTube videos to check out on tips and sound improvements. However the straight out the box & app download and most would be happy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I wanted to like these I really did want to like these ear buds. £195 is not an insignificant outlay, IMHO. Unfortunately, it did not buy quality. The sound quality, when working, was really, really good. The noise cancelling was very effective, and the tone was warm and even through the range. Sadly, the audio suffered from frequent drop outs in the left bud. As in, sound would drop out for a few seconds, then come back in, then drop out again. It completely ruined the experience. I did every troubleshooting step available. Reset the buds, rebooted my phone, tried them with my iPad too, updated the firmware, etc etc. Noatger what I did: audio dropout on the left bud. And this is me, for example, sitting with my iPad on the sofa next to me, with both buds in, within 1 meter distance. I've never experienced problems like it with any other bluetooth headphones. So as much as I wanted to like these: comfort was great, noise cancelling effective, and sound quality really good when working - unfortunately the drop out problem was so pronounced I had no option but to return them.

However, the after sales support is terrible. I lost one earphone and tried using online chat, who just gave me a product code to search for online to buy a replacement, which did not work. I then emailed support and 10 days later have had no reply. So, I would now never recommend Sony and will probably switch back to Apple Airpod Pros simply so I can get decent support should anything go wrong.

The app is a must to get the best out of the buds in fact without the App you really cannot access the features on offer. I Personally still cannot get the sound I want using the equaliser but its early days, I would also like the volume to be higher, I feel it has been set to a maximum to protect hearing, the flaw with this approach is it assumes everyone has full hearing if your hearing is impaired you are going to struggle with these very expensive buds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delighted so far I’ve been using these phones for just over two weeks, part of which was a beach holiday in on which I listened for long periods.I previously used a brand in which the buds do not enter the ear canal as I have previously had ear problems with ear canal buds. The Sonys, to my surprise and delight they are really comfortable even for long periods. The sound is rich and enjoyable and isolation seems pretty good. I’ve not tried the noise canselling to date but the signs are good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Sound Quality I bought the WF-1000XM4 mainly so that I can listen to TV on the headphones at slightly higher volume while others can also listen via the loudspeakers. I use a Bluetooth transmitter (non-Sony) to do this because my AV Amp. (Sony STR-DN 1080) mutes the speakers when its internal Bluetooth TX is activated (annoying). The resulting sound quality is superb with no delay lip sync problems and very slight echo from the speakers which can be tuned out with the A/V sync adjustment on the STR-DN 1080. The touch sensor controls and features are really useful while "ambient sound" is very effective. The Sony "Headphones" App is also very good especially the optimal earbud tips tests, speak-to-chat and the equalizer. The only problem is with the supplied tips: I find it nearly impossible to get successful air-tightness (isolation) as measured by the App tests. The tips do not provide a good grip for the headphones and in fact they have fallen out of my ears on a couple of occasions and become a bit uncomfortable after a while. Trying to adjust the fitting to get successful air-tightness has caused the optimum tips (L size) to split in less than a month of use, so replacements would be appreciated, Sony! I have tried non-Sony compatible tips and although the Sony original tips provide the best isolation, the compatible tips are more comfortable after prolonged wearing and provide much better grip. The worse isolation is not such a problem as I have Ambient Sound on most of the time. The only other small problem is that the design of the case is such that I find it fiddly to pick the headphones out of the case and I am afraid I might drop them. However, the important thing is the outstanding sound quality!

Another weakness is if your choice is going to prioritise the sound then make sure your environment is clear of waves if not you'll face to regular sound ruptures. Last but not least if you choose priority to Bluetooth reliability the sound is very flat neatest to noise rather than music. I had sony headphones that failed after 5 very good and enjoying years I do really regret my purchase and I do really recommend NOT TO BUY those ones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic sound quality. But... The sound quality is incredible, no questions asked. But, there's two things that I feel I should point out. The first, is that they really are kinda chunky - certainly the largest pair of "in ear" earphones I have ever owned (and I have owned a few). The second - and this is my biggest gripe is that the marketing literature states that you can customise the controls - which was one of the most influential factors that swayed my purchase decision - and that was the "customisable controls". However, that is not quite true. I wanted to customise the controls so that a short tap on the left earbud would change the ANC mode (noise cancelling, transparent, off) and a long tap would reduce the volume - whereas on the right I wanted a short tap to control pausing/playing etc. and a long tap to increase the volume. HOWEVER, I could either choose to swap the ANC mode controls with the volume not mix and match. So, while you can change the controls to a limited extent so you have to decide which type of controls you want, you cannot have your cake and eat it - so to speak. So, if sound quality is the most important thing for you - then I would recommend these earphones; but if every day convenience is more important then I would recommend something a little smaller with a decent sound and better controls.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Sony have done it again!!! Upon setting these buds up and coming from the previous generation from a sound point of view, these buds are stunning. The soundstage is wider and instrument separation is more obvious. LDAC is a great option along with wireless charging. Taking phone calls are much better than the XM3 where people would often complain about the sound quality. If you're in the market for buds, this could be the option, ANC is great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good audio and comfy to wear Good audio and comfy to wear but seems to amplify some external noises. I can hear noises like the radio playing in another room clearer on the headphones than without them. I've tried changing settings but they still behave like hearing aids. Work fine outdoors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Zeer muzikaal Deze oortjes zetten een nieuwe standaard neer op het gebied van muziek beleven, je gelooft je eigen oren niet. De ruisonderdrukking en alle andere mogelijkheden zijn zeer nauwkeurig in te stellen, maar voor deze features geld dat het soms geven en nemen is, net als bij andere merken, windgeruis of een sirene die langs komt, blijf je altijd horen. het bellen is okay, maar i.c.m. een IPhone zijn daar helaas nog betere opties voor, het merk laat zich raden. Samenvattend, een zeer hoge mate van perfectie, voor muziekliefhebbers een absolute must have!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound, comfortable fit, handy features I bought these as an upgrade to my WF-1000XM3 headphones after 2 and a half years of daily use and I'm glad I did. The improvement in comfort and fit are noticeable from the start. The headphone connect app even measures the air pressure when wearing to ensure you've got the best earbud size in each ear for optimal quality and isolation. The sound quality is fantastic, as I expected from my past experience, and the design enables a secure and comfortable fit so there's no worry of them slipping or falling out during activities. Connectivity is a breeze and seems better than their predecessors. Do yourself a favour and get a pair. Your ears will thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A good pair of earbuds I've had these headphones for about a month now and I think they're good overall. I've had some problems with the controls on the left earbud. Sometimes it just doesn't work at all, and that's really annoying. I previously had a pair of Bose QC earbuds. But after the third pair broke in just a few months I went for a pair of Sony 1000xm4 instead. Bose is slightly better in sound quality and a lot better in noice cancelling and fitting. The fitting is actually the biggest issue with these headphones. I've tried all the different sizes and I would love a size between S and M. At the moment I have to refit them quite often. Another bad thing with the xm4's is that they're unable to be paired to two devices at the same time. It's a bit inconvenient, but not a big issue I'd say. The overall experience is much better with the xm4. The controls (when working) is much better, and you have a lot more configuration options than the Bose ones. The sound quality is really good, better than most earbud headphones that I've tried. The case is quite slim and the earbuds are also fairly small. I think that these are probably the best true wireless earbuds with active noice cancelling on the market right now. However, a mix with the best features from these and the best features from the Bose QC earbuds would be fantastic!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound but a couple of let-downs The sound quality is fantastic and via the app there are plenty of customization options. Some good features too, like chat-to-talk which will automatically switch from noise cancelling to ambient and pause whatever is playing when it hears you speak, then switch back when you are done, so that you can have a conversation without taking the buds out of your ears or faff around with pausing and switching noise cancelling off. On the down side, compared to other buds I have owned, the bluetooth connection can occasionally be a bit flaky and I have found the tips uncomfortable; none of the size options provided fit perfectly, which I think in turn detracts from the noise cancelling. If I literally force the large tips into my ears for a complete seal, all background noise is effectively cancelled, but this quickly becomes uncomfortable. With the mediums, comfort is still not great and noise cancelling is mediocre. The small tips are comfortable but let in way to much background noise. I've seen quite a few other reviews mentioning similar issues with the tips; for such a great bit of tech to be let down by this is disappointing and with just a bit more thought could surely have been avoided.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from OMG! Just got my buds after months of searching, reviewing, buying and returning other brands. The ease of setting up was a breeze to my iPhone, laptop and PC. I listen to all types of genres and I am not disappointed. From classical to reggae, they sound amazing. If you need a little bit more tweaking, then the eq from the app is ample. Comfort wise, I had to go for the smallest tips. Had them in for a few hours now and no ear ache. Love the feature where you start taking and the music stops. No more taking buds out to talk. Phone calls are crystal clear. Love them, love them, love them

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb! These were purchased as an upgrade to some mid-priced wireless earbuds from another manufacturer and have proved to be a spectacular improvement in every respect. I use a high-end sound system at home and find the Sony earbuds give this a serious run for its money. The comprehensive interactive features of the earbuds work well. They are comfortable to wear for long periods, the battery life is adequate for virtually any circumstances and they work perfectly with my Samsung phone. Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic earbuds I've always had wired earbuds but decided to treat myself and after much deliberation between which ones to get, I went with these ones and I am not disappointed. The sound quality is amazing and by using the app you can alter the sounds to your preferences. The noise cancelling is superb and you really can't hear a thing with it turned on. The feature where you can check the air rightness of the buds is very helpful. I would always wear the small tip but by using the app found out that the medium and large tips give better sound quality in my ear. So glad I chose these buds. Would definitely recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Overall Really small and compact whilst having much better battery and sound quality than the XM3s, and they were good in their own right. Great features, like LDAC, Google Fast pair and finding the earbuds if you've lost them. App is really great for customising your own EQ and tweaking features if they aren't to your taste sound wise. Only feature really missing is Low Energy Audio now, what the new Linkbuds have. Strange really as these buds cost more and I have the Sony Xperia 1 IV, so have the software to run it but the headphones don't officially support. Hopefully they will add it, but this far into its cycle, I doubt it. Not a massive deal though. But I love the Silver model I got of these buds. So sick of black everything these days. Goes really nice with my white Sony Xperia!

The noise cancellation is breath taking, along with the excellent app it will leave you playing around with all the setting for ages having fun with it. Only one minor issue, after prolonged periods I have found that they will work loose, which will leave you worried about them staying put. I wouldn't want to be running a marathon in them, but they are ear buds and this is expected somewhat. But even without this issue i would still be giving them 5 stars due to the overall quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Review of Sony I purchased these headphones based on reading many reviews. While the sound produced by the earphones is superb, the noise cancelling remains underwhelming. I am still able to hear a substantial amount of background noise whilst wearing the earphones. Not just voices as per sone reviewers but low and high frequency sounds. I am also disappointed that the earpieces are small. I have changed the size to the largest size provided but still the earphones are loose in my ears. For such a substantial amount of money I would have expected to have had a much better experience yet I remain underwhelmed. I find the sound quality magnificent however.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Très bon équipement, de très grande qualité Les + : Très satisfait de ces oreillettes, extrêmement confortables, un son de très haute qualité, une fonction kit main libre impeccable, une fonctionnalité de réduction sonore très efficace, une excellente autonomie, en bref je recommande. Les - : J'ai malgré tout enlevé une étoile en comparaison avec certaines fonctionnalités dont je bénéficiais avec les Freebuds 3 de Huawei notamment une connexion blutooth perfectible, les oreillettes qui se déconnectent systématiquement dès lors qu'on les positionne dans leur boîtier de rangement pourtant laissé ouvert, ce qui ne permet pas de le mettre en charge et de s'en saisir rapidement pour répondre à un appel car elles mettent quelques secondes à se reconnecter ou doivent parfois être reconnectées manuellement. De même, autre point négatif, seule l'oreillette droite peut être utilisée pour la téléphonie ou la visioconférence ce qui est dommage car auparavant, je pouvais alterner entre chaque oreillette pour pouvoir prolonger mes échanges, notamment en visio, en profitant de la charge du boîtier en passant d'une oreillette à l'autre ce qui permettait de prolonger pratiquement indéfiniment le temps d'échange ; en effet, si l'on range l'oreillette droite dans le boîtier même tenu ouvert, l'oreillette gauche est d'office déconnectée. Sur mes Freebuds, chaque oreillette était totalement indépendante ce qui permettait de les recharger indépendamment de l'autre y compris boîtier fermé. Cet inconvénient est néanmoins partiellement compensé pour l'instant par l'excellente autonomie proposée par les oreillettes.

But I guess I'll be using the old ones for a bit lnger as these new ones only work on my iPhone. I get them paired with other devices like my LG TV - but no sound so completely useless. Ther may well be a fix somewhere, but whe I pay for expensive stuff I expect it to play straight out of the box. Sony don't understand this - thehy seem yo think we have nothing to do but look for a fix. I'll juust send them back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Upgrade to the WF-1000XM3 I was generally happy with my WF-1000XM3's performance as they had good noise cancelling, good battery life and most importantly good sound. The issues I had were that I wanted even longer noise cancelling battery life and I also had a slight issue keeping them in my ears during exercise and I am one of those people that wears headphones to bed as I am a light sleeper and noise will wake me up. I was okay with the size of the XM3 case but wished they were smaller and one final gripe was that I wasn't over keen on the connectivity lights flashing especially if they fell out when I slept and they would flash in my eye to wake me up. The WF-1000XM4's have solved my particular use cases, they stay in my ears much better for both running and sleeping, the noise cancelling lasts even longer and the case size is smaller. Again most importantly they sound great. There are no prolonged flashing lights on the buds or case which is just fine by me. I would say that my only issue with them are the eartips provided, I might need to give them another chance but I just put the ones that were on my XM3's onto my XM4's. Other than that, I am really happy with them and would be hard pressed to see areas for improvement apart from the obvious of we all want longer batteries, less weight, smaller etc which we all want in all mobile products without a hit on performance. I would be interested to know how repairable they are but time will tell if I ever need to change the battery. Thanks Sony headphone division, you have yet to disappoint me with your headphones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome sound These earbuds were released just 6 months after I purchased my XM3’s but I bought a set as the battery life on the XM3’s wasn’t the best.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best ANC Wireless Earbuds By a Mile I have tried similar products from different manufacturers at different price points. From AirPods pro, Beats Studio Buds, Samsung Galaxy Buds pro to Oneplus Buds pro. WF1000XM4 blows them all away in terms of noise cancelling, sound quality and app features. The only possible downside is that people with smaller ears may find it difficult to wear them comfortably for an extended period of time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressed with features I bought a set for my wife and a set for me. My wife has hearing problems so the tv was always too loud for me. My wife can now hear the tv well through her buds and I can have the tv speakers at a more comfortable volume level. The buds are easy to set up and use. I love the noise cancelling, really useful when listening to music whilst vacuuming. The fact I can easily switch to ambient sound and have conversations because the music is switched off when I start talking is great. I have heard sounds from my music that I have not heard before. My wife is pleased that she can use just one bud on occasions as she is totally deaf in one ear. The charging case is a great idea, the ear buds are always at 100% charge and ready to go. The buds are very comfortable and do not cause sweating or itching when used.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Expensive but high quality I wanted a easily carried alternative to my WH-1000XM3 over ear and these earbuds were just the job. The sound quality, to my older ears, is just as good as the over ear units. Add in the noise cancelling and they are definitely worth the money. I would advise spending some time getting the best fit from the diffrent felt inserts as a good fit is essential for quality and security.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Overall These are not perfect, but then again no product is but they are very close. I thought based on previous reviews that the fit would be a problem and it was until I changed the size of the ear tips from medium which they come with to small, I usually wear medium but on the comply foam I found small to be a better fit. They are surprisingly comfortable for all day use and that's saying a lot as I have small ears and find it hard getting the right ear buds to fit for an extended period of time. My only real gripes are the size, as they do stick out a lot, and when the Google assistant is enabled as the wake word on the right ear bud, the battery life drains faster on the right ear bud. The Google wake word does work surprisingly well I was impressed coming from the pixel buds. Sounds quality is excellent, noise cancelling is second to none, looks are kinda bespoke, and weight is decent, Sony, please fix the microphone for phone calls it's not bad but it is definitely an area of concern. Overall they are excellent, a definite recommendation. But them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound uncomfortable fit I have had my WF-100-XM$ earbuds for a couple of weeks and I find that they are painful after use for some time. Before these earbuds I used Shure wired earbuds and these were comfortable enough to use on long flights. The sound quality is very good with accurate reproduction but a less "lively" feel than the Shure's which produced a thrilling sound. I was disappointed that I paid double the price for the Sony earbuds and chose them after months of reading reviews. I aslo found the process of setup and pairing difficult as the quick start guide was poor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bad software All is well untill the software starts bugging. The earbuds won't turn off in the case and still connect to the phone, draining battery. This causes them to be drained of battery all the time if you don't micromanage and turn them off as soon as you notice them being connected. Then this got fixed. But then the left bud started bugging. It turned itself of/faded the volume at random. Then this got fixed and then it started turning itswlf on again in the case. Super annoying and it completely ruins the experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Battery of one earbud drains out too quickly The most glaring issue I have with these earbuds is the significant battery imbalance between the two earpieces. While the left earbud manages to provide a decent battery life, the right one drains out far too quickly. This disparity creates an annoying and frustrating experience, constantly needing to recharge one earbud while the other is still going strong. It goes from 100% to 1% in one hour, while the other earbud is still at 70%.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound quality I like the sound quality and the app works well. But I would recommend everybody to use the custom Equalizer to get the most out of them. One thing I would change is to put a feature in the app to disable the touch pads because especially when I’m using my jackets with the hoods, they keep pausing because it keeps hitting my hood so I would like that feature to be added in the future.

Charging them in the case would not result in a good charge again and they became useless. Thankfully for the added warranty at John Lewis that I now got the replacement XM5 buds. Fingers crossed

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wish I'd boughtvthem ages ago! As a long-term user of the MDR 1000 & later WH1000 series over-ears which I love, they're a little large to wear doing DIY & various other such activities over a long period of time & your ears eventually do get hot, so wanted something that was smaller to wear. I'd heard of various connection issues & problems with earlier wireless in-ears, so hadn't gone there. However, eventually decided to give these a try. I wish I'd bought them much sooner as they're great. I've never had them fall out, battery life is decent enough for most uses (3 hours + before recharge, then there's the case charge to go at too before needing to see the mains again), & sound quality is close enough to my WH series cans in the environments I use these as to not be a concern. Very impressed with them, would definitely buy again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A good product These earphones boast impressive quality with excellent sound and noise reduction features, making them truly outstanding. While the microphone quality is good, it falls slightly short compared to a dedicated headset designed for daily telecommuting. However, it remains sufficient for occasional or on-the-go use. One small drawback is that the provided ear tips may be too large for individuals with small ear canals. Even the smallest sizes might not fit comfortably, necessitating the purchase of a new set of silicone ear tips to ensure a pleasant wearing experience, especially during extended use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely horrible and a waste of money! These were great for about 5-6 months, but the right earbud's battery started to drain faster than the left one. At first, it wasn't a big problem but it gradually become worse and soon it was at a point where the right earbud's battery didn't charge at all, making the earbuds practically useless. I have done extensive research on how to fix the problem and found that loads of users have the same issue. I can no longer update the firmware because my right earbud is completely dead and will neither charge nor connect to my phone anymore. When trying to talk to Sony about the problem I am just redirected to the retailer but since the retailer is located in Sweden and I live in Serbia I cannot return the product to them. I am now forced to go back to my budget earbuds which I initially replaced with the very expensive Sony earbuds and I am shocked to find that the earbuds I bought for a fraction of the price I paid for the Sonys are actually still functioning a lot better than the Sony earbuds. It seems like Sony is doing nothing to alleviate this problem and help their customers, instead, they released the WF-1000XM5 which is even more expensive, and they expect people to buy the new model. It is an absolutely shameful way to conduct business, selling a very expensive, so-called high-end, product which brakes down within the first 6 months of usage and then doing nothing to help the customers who spent a lot of money on it. I will never buy a Sony product again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great - except for 1 problem These are the best earbuds I have ever used. The ANC is so good, the sound is rich and call quality is brilliant. The only gripe I have with them is that one or both buds will randomly disconnect from my phone/laptop/tablet. It can happen once a day or 10 times a day and IV no idea why. None of my other Bluetooth devices suffer with this and it happens on all 3 devices I use them on. They've been cleaned, they fit like a glove. Can't figure out what it is!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exemplar in-Ear Buds, But.. I've tried a number of different in-ear headphones, but the WF-1000XM4s are a cut above the others. Sound is crisp, noise cancelation is effective, and have great features. But... I found that I haven't been able to get a comfortable fit with the included tips. Whilst they are relatively light weight, I found that if you can't get a perfect fit, they aren't great for activity based usage e.g. I couldn't use them whilst training, and even walking around could dislodge them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good product, even if not quite perfect It took me a while to decide to invest in good noise cancelling earphones, and after much research and feedback from a colleague, I decided to take the plunge with Sony. Pros - Lightweight, acceptable comfort, and good sound quality. Impressive battery life and quick charging. Cons - The white is not the most attractive, looks almost dirty, my ears to hurt after wearing them for a few hours, the bluetooth connectivity is sometimes flaky and a bit slow to connect every time, especially with two devices, and the sound quality and noise cancellation could be even better - maybe I was expecting too much? The case is also quite slippery and I drop it more often than I would like! Also, maybe I have small ears but having the option of an even smaller size of earplug would be nice - I think the smallest size is still a tad too big for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product but a wider range of tips required First impressions out of the box were good. The buds and case have a quality feel to them. The bonze stud on the buds is a nice touch. The size is good too. The case fits in pockets and the buds don't look or feel big. However, I bought these a few weeks ago and I'm still experimenting with the bud tips. The left ear fits perfectly but I get inconsistent results with the right ear. It feels like I need a size in-between medium and large. For this price range I was disappointed with the 3 different sizes supplied. I'm currently using an old silicone tip that doesn't have the same soundproofing as the Sony tips. When I do get a good fit everything suddenly improves. I can adjust the settings of the equaliser and it will keep this as the default setting next time I listen to music. It also has a test to evaluate how well the buds are fitted (I've been using this a lot). I'm not an audiophile but the main reason for choosing these were for the sound quality. They do sound good with every style of music I've listened to so far. I've not used soundproofing buds before and was expecting a little more from this feature but maybe that is just down to the silicone tip I'm using in one ear. If you already use other ear buds and have no problems with fitting then I would recommend these. The verdict is still out if your ears are not one of the three sizes Sony expect them to be.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Batery drain in 30 minutes after the last update Great sound quality and great all around but after the last update the battery was only working for 30 minutes from a full charge, even with the setings on minimum and volume on 40%. Is a shame because I was very happy with them for one and half year since I bought them. But probably they ment to work only 2 years ?? .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome sound, a little to heavy Having being used to alternative brands to apple I decided to try these instead. The sound quality is amazing, tho they feel a little heavy compared to previous EarPods used. The auto switching for the environment is great , just wish it was quicker and I’d like to be able to turn the volume up and down from the pods and I’m not 100% struck on the memory foam ear plugs. The packaging although recyclable did feel like I was buying some second hand gadget too, just saying !!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best buds on the market I have had these about a year now mainly used for work purposes the ambient sound are on another level I can hear customers talking whilst still enjoying what ever is playing. The noise cancelling truly does its job. The ambient sound actually increases outside noise so even traffic through the door can be heard. A truly great achievement from Sony.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Out of this world sound I have always used Sony headphones, but having read about the WF-1000XM4 I decided to try them out. Wow what a difference in sound. The stereo sound was outstanding with no leakage. I wish that I had bought them earlier because they are the best earphones I’ve have ever owned. They are so easy to set up and although they look bulky they don’t feel bulky when you are wearing them. I cannot praise them enough and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to hear the music as it is meant to be heard. I didn’t experience any distortion of any kind. They are perfect for all uses.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good sound quality - not so good microphone Music reproduction is excellent, but perceived sound at the other end of a phone call is bad: muted sound, digital distortion and echo. Contacted Sony service, they tested the products and agreed to replace them. The new ones sound less muted in a phone call, but the distortion and echo prevail. Seems like it is a feature, not a bug. Good for listening music, not so good for phone calls.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sounding but poor battery reliability I like the WF-1000Xm4, they are very good sounding headphone which I would have rated at 5 stars. But after a year, the batteries in both sides of the headphone have progressively lost their capacity until I was only able to use them for 30 minutes until the battery was empty. Luckily this happened during the warranty period so I could put them to repair at no cost. Maybe the battery problem was an isolated case, I don't know... but it damaged the trust I had in the brand (at least on single cell battery powered devices) .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great earphones, but trashed by battery drain hann I bought these loved the audio hi-fi quality. But two major faults: uncomfortable to the point of pain after 30 minutes wearing, more fundamental problem the battery drain even with latest software update, right channel would drain to zero % whilst left channel would be 40%>. I reluctantly return them as Sony consultant told me it's a hardware problem. So why don't don't stop Amazon and other retailers selling these phones ruined by these deal breaking faults. Sony should pull them off the market rather than allowing customers to pay £170 for such fundamental faults

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent sound and noise cancellation I bought these primarily for their noise cancellation as I have sensory processing issues, particularly with sound. I already had some ANC over ear headphones but I wanted something that I could use that is a bit more discreet and doesn't make me look like Warren from 'There's Something About Mary'. I was really impressed with the fit and how easily they stay in my ears. The noise cancelling is excellent and blocks our fans, background talking, buzzing lightbulbs and TVs. I've tried the speak to chat but I find it a bit annoying when someone starts speaking back and it cuts out. Instead, I use the ambient setting and adjust the pass through. As far as playing music is concerned, these are superb. The treble is crystal clear, the mid range rich and the bass is full and punchy. Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio sound incredible on these ear buds. I've owned many pairs of headphones over the years from many high end and mid range brands, but these are by far the most impressive. I'm very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking of buying them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great but don't expect much noise cancelling The ear buds have a really good sound. I had to replace the bulb tips with silicon tips that I bought online as I found it the smallest tips to big.

I would say these are one of the thr top 3 best noise canceling earphones with the extremely effective battery back up in the case. These have been working immensely awesome. Sadly, I upgraded to the latest firmware 2.0 that I do not recommend to the user. The battery in thr Left earbud has gone busted. A week ago, one charge was giving me 7 hours play back, and now this is giving half an hour while the right one is working fine. #Sony has been clueless about it, and still no update to fix it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointing for half the price After a lot of research I purchased these two months ago and initially found I could not obtain a good fit or seal with any of the standard ear tips, eventually I purchased some Sonicfoam memory foam ear tips which worked really well. I found the controls a little annoying as they sometimes did not respond to the tap inputs and the tuning option in the app underwhelming, in fact the options in the app are pretty limited. I can say that when flying I found the noise cancelling to be quite effective. After a few weeks I found the right ear piece battery ran down twice as quickly as the left. Then if I wore them for more than a few minutes there was no sound coming out of the right ear piece, the only way I could find to start it again was remove it, put it back in the charging case and then remove it repair it and insert back in my ear, not good. I was so disappointed and frustrated with them that I returned them, at this price point they ought to at least work consistently.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound, buggy firmware I have used these for two years now (since they were released). They were very buggy when released, but has improved a lot. I have to put them back in their case multiple times per day to "restart" them due to not sending audio when in a call, not playing audio when in a call, not playing music, robotic voice, etc. These problems have persisted across two phones, and two different pairs of WF-1000XM4's. When they work, they are great. When they don't, they are annoying.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from BATTERY DRAIN! After a year and a half of use the headphones suddenly has a battery drain issue and dies within an hour of charging to 100%. Furthermore the right earbud dies much quicker than the left and is out of use after 40 minutes of use. Upside is that whilst the battery was working well the sound quality was great.

Not impressed that they failed so quickly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Purchase, 5* I was reviewing these vs Bose, after a couple of evenings of research I went with the Sony and I don't regret this decision. After 2-3 weeks use I've spotted a couple of good features and a couple I've stopped using. 1. Comfort = spot on, the way it measures your ear and which earbud to use is a nice feature. 2. Pause song when you speak fearure, this was great although everytime I mumbled of coughed it would pause the song. A great feature but I've disabled. 3. Battery life. I'm getting a good week from the setup, and easily a day use from a single charge. 4. Updating allows you to connect 2 devices. In theory great but my videos keep pausing when I click play on my PC, guessing my other device keeps trying to take back the connection, so I've moved away from this. 5. One worry was the Bass was low, well my ears disagree. The correct song with Bass to max is far too intense. In result these have loads of features which I'm sure people will use far better than I do, the overall speaker is spot on. Anyone looking for an all round great wireless headphone I cannot recommend higher.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features and sound, but bad service Bought a year ago. Pretty much happy with it. However, things went downhill recently. A recent firmware update destroyed the battery. Took several hours scanning the Sony's website to find a person to chat to, then again with the distributor here in France. I sent back the device, took 3 weeks to repair (still under warranty, so for 0 cost). Then the soft pads started to deteriorate, which I believe is normal since they spend so much time in human ears. However, Sony doesn't sell replacements. There is a part number, but you can't order it. Ended up buying fake AliXpress ones. All in all, the product is good, but the aftermarket issues makes the overall experience expensive and time consuming.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bad fit I was bought these as a birthday present, and they look lovely but to be honest they are not much good as they fall out of my ears all the time. Sound quality is good, but the weight of them and top-heavy design mean I'm constantly having to press them in (prompting the battery and noise cancelling messages) and they drop out with the slightest movement so I can only wear them when sitting still at home. The shape of ears varies greatly and it's not possible to try them for fit in advance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best sound quality, mediocre battery life These are absolutely best in class earphones. ANC is unrivalled from any earphones I've tried, and they are extremely comfortable. The case is well designed and doesn't have any issues with connecting to the headphones. However the battery life of the case will last only a day or two before it needs charging, and the headphones will only last a few hours even with Ambient sound and ANC turned off. Compared to the melomania one which I had before these, the battery life is less than half. They don't have ANC but if you're going away on a long trip I'd still rather take them over the XF1000XM4's. Worse still, the battery life of one headphone completely tanked and would struggle to even last 50 minutes without ANC turned on after only *six months*. I got a repair under warranty, but this is really unacceptable for a product costing upwards of 200 euros. Sub 100eur earphones of mine don't have this kind of battery degradation even after 2 years of use.

But these sound incredible, are far more comfortable to wear than I expected, convenient and easy to use and the extra features like ambient sound and button controls work well enough that I've never felt bothered - though it did take me a week to get used to the more complex button press features. Generally so much more convenient than wired earbuds, especially when I'm running a lot (although there's an issue there I'll get to later). The control app is simple and easy and has a built-in equaliser better than the one my phone shipped with, though generally I never have to look at it unless I'm checking battery life or changing a setting. I haven't tried the feature which apparently allows the earbuds to change how they take in ambient noise based on what activity you're doing as this sounds way too obtrusive, complicated and unnecessary, but have heard it's a drain on phone battery. I have actually had a couple small issues when running - the earphones stay in fairly easily and maybe only need slight adjustment after maybe half an hour or so of running, though in my ears they tend to shake slightly more when my feet strike the pavement than my old wired buds due to the added weight, leading to a bit of noise. If the app is set to prioritise stable connection over sound quality it might disconnect for a moment, once or twice over 45 minutes of running usually. Not sure what causes this but the phone is usually pretty close to the earphones when it's in the armband, so possibly there's an issue with the material surrounding my phone? Still, it's more of an issue of set to prioritise sound quality. The rest of the time when out and about, the buds stay connected to the phone in my pocket even when prioritising sound quality over connection, though they have briefly disconnected here and there. Probably less than once per day, and not enough to even be annoying, but still.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding sonic abilities I've had these for a few weeks and waited to test before submitting any review. All I can say is that I'm thrilled with my purchase. I own several different makes of high-end headphone/earbuds (Sony, Sennheiser, AKG and Samsung) and can thoroughly recommend these for their amazing sonic qualities their ability to demonstrate a very wide sound-field.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Audio! For me, the best airbuds that I bought. Superb sound quality, excellent battery durability, very comfortable and good noise canceling. The only thing that I would like that they had is the ability to increase/decrease the volume directly in the earbuds. Even though I'm very pleased with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound quality I bought these to use instead of my Sony headphones when space was limited. The sound quality is excellent, definately on a par with my Sony WH-1000XM5, although the noise cancelling isn't quite as good, but still good. Size wise they are a little big for my ears. I use the smallest inserts which are ok, but the earbuds themselves are fairly heavy so sometimes they feel like they will fall out, they haven't yet. Also, there is a sensor on the earbuds to sense wether the buds are on your ears, however, because of the shape of my ears and how I need to position them to get the most secure fit; the sensor is not next to my skin, so sometimes the earbuds turn off on their own due to this, so I have to then re-insert them and try an angle them so this doesn't happen. The charging case is great but the lid keeps self closing while trying to get the buds in/out of it. The lid needs a notch of some sort so it stays open while you are putting the buds in/out. The foam inserts supplied only lasted 2 uses for me. It was my fault because I tried to clean them with alcohol wipes which they didn't like. The problem is that new foam inserts are impossible to get hold of so I bought 3rd party silicone tips instead, which do work ok luckily. Overall fairly happy with them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Another quality Sony product -excellent audio !! I bought these nearly a year ago now I’ve just had to put them in fior repair under the insurance claim as they are nit charging properly and are faulty. So I am quite disappointed with these & SONY as such good reports for these & they weren’t cheap. Luckily I took insurance out only 1yr guarantee. I hope they can repair them or if not replacements is another option apparently or if. And fix vouchers ti the amount purchased. I think I will take vouchers if can’t fix then and purchase over ears apple ones. I’m nit liking the in ear ones at moment they are falling out & irritating me in my ear. Always thought Sony fir everything my old TV quality sound & product maybe nit fir earphones. I’m going to try the apple over ears ones even more pricey. But excellent quality & amazing sound better than Sony I have to admit. Very disappointed customer. No. Earbuds for 2 wks whilst I wait fir repair work. Oh my God! !! Withdrawal symptoms already!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Almost Perfect I've purchased budget head phones in the past, but when my last pair failed I decided to push the boat out on a premium pair. After some extensive research, these came out on top and I couldn't be happier. As soon as you open the package you can tell the difference in quality. The case is very sleek and the headphones them selves fit very snugly, without being uncomfortable. The only criticism I have is that you are unable to control playback function and volume at the same time (one or the other). Other than that, I could not be happier.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Sound but I’m worried they fall out. The sound is excellent. I give this 5*. However they feel insecure. I replaced the original tips with Comply memory foam. This enables a good seal but they can still fall out when moving around. It is only the foam that holds them in. They are large and relatively heavy.

I find these earbuds can be a little quiet at times, and connecting to the device can sometimes be a little buggy.

I found that the fitment was uncomfortable at first - small was too small and medium size hurt to use, but they wore down before looking

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic sound quality!! These headphones I had researched for a while and I couldn't be more pleased. The sound range is very wide and has nice smooth deep bass and gives a depth of realism to the audio. I had a pair of galaxy bud 2 pros and these are way better for the same money, infact these were cheaper! A point to note is the ear buds that go into your ear canal do soften over time so they don't stay hard like when you first start wearing them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ok for first couple of years then failed - beware! Overall, not too bad, but I always found the ANC pretty weak compared to over ear models (which I also own). Whilst these were useful when I wanted to wear something discrete - or on really hot days when over ear models cook my ears - these recently developed a very well documented fault. In anything but their most basic mode they are rendered useless by a loud popping sound in both ears (but most the right bud). Turn off ANC and the noise stops. That means I have a very expensive pair of passive noise reducing earbuds. I've been quoted £20 to return these earphones just for diagnostic work (so, presumably, either repair or replacement would be extra?). No thanks. Sony should be offering a replacement service (even at a flat minimal fee) for what appear to be manufacturing failures. I'll keep these and use them as 'dumb' earbuds, sans ANC, but they're the last pair of Sony earphones I'll ever buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds Bought to replace apple AirPods Gen1. Very happy with the sound and the limited feature set. I really love using the ANC however the speak to chat feature, which is & can be helpful, is also a pain if you like to burst into song & join in. I’ve reverted to removing an earbud if someone talks to me while I’m on ANC mode! They have to grab my attention first to be noticed! Other people who may have noticed me performing dancing steps etc as I push my trolley around the supermarket may have commented, however as I can’t hear them I don’t care! I’ve not been able to pair them successfully with my car (a 2022 vw caddy) which is annoying me but pairing is fast and easy with other devices. I’ve also not got Alexa to work with them - probably because my devices or car can pick it up and deal with it anyway. The 360 spacial seems only offered through various other apps with a limited palate to choice not to my taste. I understood it to be a standalone Sony feature . Comfort wise, I’ve got very small ear canals and so use the smallest rubber tip in both ears. I’d ideally have liked one size smaller again. I don’t run or go to a gym but would maybe worry they would fall out if I was excercising vigorously. That said, once I’ve pulled my long hair away & wiggled them into place as shown in app I’ve not had any drop out occur and can move about without worry. An missing app feature that could be used to create sound and/or lights to help a user locate a lost earbud would be a good upgrade which im sure many folk would appreciate (those with children or nosey cats for example) I lost one on day 1 when it fell and rolled under a unit - a light or sound would have assisted in it’s recovery! Good sound, I’ve still to make the most of the features, while some that were promised seem missing/inaccessible and I can see where they could be improved.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sounding, well made headphones I have been looking for an Airpod Pro alternative for a while and after reading many reviews purchased the WF1000XM4s. I'm very pleased with them and it would be a 5 star rating but for two minor issues - 1) They're not the most comfortable in-ear headphones as they're quite large so I find my ears do hurt after a while of wearing these (for more than 1 hour). 2) the app isn't brilliant and I wish that the integration with iOS was slicker. Apart from these fairly minor issues these are seriously good bits of kit.

The sound is good on the Sonies, though, but once you play around with equaliser. And the earpieces, the pieces of foam that go in your ear, are cheap and fall apart from easily and are hard to clean. They then cost almost 30e to replace.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Premium earbud that over-reaches. Terrible fit. I lost my old ANC earbuds but was converted to the experience so wanted to buy the best. These come out highly reviewed so got them. The sound is excellent and the noise cancelling very effective. However the features and gimmicks aren't as good as they are intended to be. The speak-to-aware mode is buggy and interrupts playback when breathing a bit too heavily. Summoning a voice assistant using the wake word is a fairly random experience which leave you looking like a bewildered dog-owner looking for your lost pooch called Alexa. Maybe she answers on the tenth call. The design of the touch controls are very limited -- volume, play and ANC should all be available to the touch without having to get your phone out. But by far the worst experience for me was the fit. It's uncomfortable for my ears and the customisation of small medium large is not what you expect in a premium bud. There are aftermarket tips available but I didn't relish the experience of spending fifty pounds on a selection to see if I could correct Sony's design flaws. Ultimately the nagging ache from wearing these for more than 30 minutes has taken a lot of the joy from the music I listen to.

Downloaded the Sony headphone app which instantly connected my phone to the earbuds, set up my preferences for sound quality and started using. Great seal and comfort straight out of the box. Noise cancelling on another level from my old set, sound quality is great and (just) loud enough - good bass, clear mids and trebles. Overall, very satisfied. The sound quality alone makes these worth the money - the ease of use with the app makes them a no-brainer at this price. Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Battery discharge issues remain I had these working for over a year and was happy with them. However after a recent update, a fault developed whereby the left earbud would discharge quickly and only last 60 minutes or so which ruins any workout. Before that, the battery life was amazing. The ear fit was quite good. The earbuds would tend to degrade and get mucky, so a spare set would have been appreciated. The sound quality and noise cancelling are very good. The Sony sound is slightly warm and a bit thick in the midrange, but easy to listen to. I love that Sony added the multipoint capability. However it's a flawed experience, where you need to go into the app and "manually lock" a device, otherwise you'll get unexpected audio cut-out and lose sound whilst in that important meeting. I just want full audio from both devices without any perceived switchover, but I know Bluetooth isn't there. I also own the more expensive WH-1000XM5. These are better than the WF-1000XM4 because they sit better, the sound and noise cancelling are much better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound for 20 minutes Have now had 2 sets, first had an error on the charging case (kept flashing red) and the second set had terrible battery life on the left earbud, lasting only 20 minutes with the right having 77% left. Now returned and bought an alternative.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Waste of money Had them less than a month , the fit was terrible, wouldn’t stay in my ears securely, subsequently they fell out my right ears from a few feet and the right one cracked open n now doesn’t work , build quality is poor as this shouldn’t of happened the first time I dropped them , had air pod pros , dropped them a few times taking them out the case and they held up . I’ve tried many times to get through to customer service with no avail to resolve this issue, what a waste of my good hard earned cash , would I recommend these ? Absolutely not , I’ll never buy Sony ear buds again , massively disappointed in this product and there customer care too , BEWARE guys there just after ur cash ?????????????? !!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It's okay I've been using them for a solid month now and my overall consensus is that they are just okay. Noise cancelation is brilliant, probably their best feature. Everything else is just fine and if I'm honest, I preferred my Linkbuds in terms of comfort and sound quality. Battery life is excellent, though the case they charge in is with poor build quality. In fact the previous generation had a better built case. In the end, it's just an average product, though still one of the better options If you use an android and don't want airpods.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing sound and noise canceling features A great set of ear buds. Moving away from my old apple air pods, I wanted something different. It took a lot of getting used to the fit and positioning of the ear bud, as on occasions they do fall out. But with a bit of trial and error I am now comfortable with the fit. Also, they do pick up ear wax a lot, but as they are being pushed into the ear itself, this has to be expected - as with all in-ear buds I would guess.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good noise cancellation and speak to chat function I bought them a few weeks ago and have been using them everyday since. They aren’t the most comfortable and a bit bulky. The audio depends on how well you can position them in your ears. They do have a lot of unique and special features such as the speak to chat function which works really well, ambient sounds can be limited to just voices and the noise cancellation is good. Decent, but if you’re saving up for headphones, I would get the more expensive overheads.

The optimisation software will test fit for each ear but nevertheless the ambient noise breakthrough is disappointing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Out of this world sound I have always used Sony headphones, but having read about the WF-1000XM4 I decided to try them out. Wow what a difference in sound. The stereo sound was outstanding with no leakage. I wish that I had bought them earlier because they are the best earphones I’ve have ever owned. They are so easy to set up and although they look bulky they don’t feel bulky when you are wearing them. I cannot praise them enough and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to hear the music as it is meant to be heard. I didn’t experience any distortion of any kind. They are perfect for all uses.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superior sound quality. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is I bought a pair of the WH-1000XM5 headphones first. The sound quality on these is just as good, but as they're earbuds, as opposed to over ear headphones, the noise cancelling isn't as good, this became apparent when I used them on a flight. Looks like I'll pack both next time!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing headphones! ***** I’ve used many high end wireless headphones in recent years and always felt there was something missing. In Sony WF-1000XM4 I have finally found THE ONES! The sound quality is second to none, surpassing my Bose QQ2’s. The bass is unbelievable for in-ear headphones! The vocals come through so clear and crisp that I am hearing new elements to songs that I’ve loved for years that I had never before noticed. The Sony headphones app that accompanies the headphones is brilliant, allowing you to tweak your music to your exact liking or choose between a load of decent pre-set equaliser settings. You can also allow your headphones to recognise frequently visited places (train stations, work, home, etc) and can customise your sound and noise cancelling qualities accordingly. Speaking of the ANC, (active noise cancelling) these headphones do an AMAZING job. You can truly pretty much block out all background annoyances at busy locations or choose to allow some ambient sounds to penetrate (for example, if you need to hear train station announcements or children calling you). The buds themselves took a bit of getting used to as they are bigger than I was used to and at first was terrified they would drop out of my ears. However, don’t also has this problem covered by supplying a choice of 3 different ear tips that mould to the shape of your ear. There’s even an option in the app to test the air-tightness of your selected tips until you know you’re using the perfect size. What’s more, there’s even a configuration option in the app to have the sound quality customised to your exact ear shape by taking photos of each ear! (I know, WOW!). I also love how those headphones support Dolby atmos and Sony 360 degree reality audio which I can use on my TV and many of my Amazon music/Apple Music songs. Lastly, the headphone case is great quality as you’d expect for such premium headphones. The headphones fit magnetically and there’s no danger of them dropping out. I purchased a purpose - fit spigen armour case just to add an extra element of protection. I seriously couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The fact that these headphones are still top of most “best in- ear headphones” lists (including what hi-fi) after a solid 2-3 years is testament to how great they truly are. I’m sure they will remain top of my list for a good couple if years as I doubt many companies, other than Sony themselves, could better these!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Let down by terrible battery and warranty Such a shame. From a sound quality point of view and functionality these were brilliant for just over a year. Then suddenly the battery started to degrade and now never charges to full and drains within 30 minutes. Because Sony have such a small 12 month warranty they won’t look at them without charging me. Despite me being only 5 months outside of the warranty. Other audio brands have at least a 24 month warranty. When you pay £250 for earbuds you expect much more. Dissatisfied

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Speak to chat is one of the best feature. I bought these WF-1000XM4 earbuds when they got launched and loved the products with great clear sound and bass. The earpiece buds come in 3 different sizes and it's so soft fit perfectly in the ear and is not made up of rubber. The design of the earbuds fits perfectly in the ear. I find the Speak-to-chat feature to be the most useful feature of this product in any situation it pauses for the time being when you are in a conversation with anyone. and when we stop speaking it continues automatically and the pauses delay can be controlled through the SONY app. After 2 Years of continuous use, 1-The earpiece earbuds started to wear off bit by bit. so no more noise cancellation only pieces of earbuds remain. 2-The battery life of the LEFT Earpiece is drastically reduced to 30 min after a full charge. while the right stays around 6 hrs on a full charge. I expected at least a 4-5 year lifespan for these earbuds considering the cost we spend on the product and the brand I trust.

The feature where the headphones can detect what you’re doing like walking and automatically adjust the amount of ambient noise is brilliant. A big plus for me is the small size of the case which can easily fit in my pocket so I take them everywhere. I own another pair of high end earbuds which I’ve stopped using because the case is too big. My only slight gripe is it seems odd that the volume can’t be changed with the earbud touch controls like most earbuds. I’d like a bit more customisation for this to be available.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from You Get What You Pay For A great pair of in ear headphones, my previous pair were Bose sport which had a good sound, but the Sony WF-1000XM4 add a different dimension to my listening experience. The rubber started to peal on my Bose headphones so I thought it was time to get a new set, I tend to prefer Sony as they seem to last forever if you look after them. I have a Sony phone paired with the headphones and the sound is probably as good as you can get. I have listened to a lot of my music for up to 45 years, I am hearing sounds that I never new existed on songs I've been listening to all my life. These are high quality headphones with a high quality sound, the app lets you get the most from them and I don't believe you would be disappointed if you took the plunge. If you love your music you need in ear headphones that really do it justice, in my opinion the WF-1000XM4 are them!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simply the best After many comparisons and extensive testing I have ultimately opted for the WF-1000XM4 and have not been disappointed. However there is one very important step to take to get these little gems to sing: get the foam tips perfectly right (trial and error) and adjust the sound in the app on your device. These buds deliver exceptional quality if set up right. I was blown away by the clarity and the bass balance with any type of music. I have not tested them for phone calls, but that is rather secondary for me. Initially I was a bit doubtful about the noise cancelling, but as soon as the tips were adjusted properly, that issue went away instantly... Catch a good deal and get these wonderful little sound machines - they are worth every penny for me.... I gave only 4 * for ease of use as it is quite tricky to get the buds out of the charging unit, also the positioning in the ear takes a bit of getting used to, but these things are minor compared to the great sound quality once everything is set. Also the wearability is great and comfortable...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Sounding and well made I bought these eat buds as a replacement for my Sennheiser’s. The sound quality has a real wow factor. Although I found the bass a little too much for me initially, the equaliser presets soon enabled me to correct this. I have dropped 1 star because I struggled with the comfort of the fit, which is as much to do with my ears as well as the buds. There are 3 sizes of insert and I struggled to find the most comfortable fit between small and medium. The case is strong and well built and the battery life compared to Apple EarPod Pros is significantly better. 360 sound is amazing.

The sound quality is excellent after I adjusted it to my taste and the specs are top class for the price range. I find them more comfortable than any I have used before and the battery life is good with the options slightly adjusted

Rated 5 out of 5 by from For me sound is excellent! Bad idea with the foam ear tips. After replacing with silicone, the comfort is much better, but you can't run using them because the movement of the earpiece in the ear makes noise. In every other aspect, the headphones are excellent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fit really well, discreet and excellent sound. I needed new earbuds for running and general workouts. I have never used Sony earbuds before but I've heard great things about Sony sound quality so I gave them a go. They were a great price online too. So far, I'm really happy with them. They fit really well, they're comfortable and the noise cancelling activation was so good on the plane; I fell asleep so fast and teleported straight to my destination. Would recommend these to anyone who might be thinking AirPods are a bit too expensive but want a similar sound quality, ANC and touch controls on the earbuds themselves.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent sound, poor customer services Love the design and sound, I bought this march 2022, soon after the 1.4.2 update, right earbud battery drains fast, repair center charges me for a ridiculous fee for a common fault caused by an update.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good and OK I've been using this for couple months and tried all of the earpieces and i have to say that both call and music qualities are great (for me, unable to tell audiophile review tho...) and the ANC works great BUT as all of the in-ear styles headphones i have owned during my life none of them feel good and these are no exception... there is always an annoying pressure on ear canals or feeling of these dropping from ears (never comfortable enough), this style just doesn't work for me that way i could give 5/5 rating. I'd prefer over ear headphones anytime, but these are so easy to carry on and ok to keep under a hat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound, terrible ear buds So far the sound seems great but the three different sized ear buds are dreadful and with the weight of the headphone, regularly falls out. Reading reviews of replacement silicone buds, other people have had a similar issue. Saying that, when you twist them hard enough and hold them in place, the sound quality of the headphones is excellent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Got these as part of my Christmas gifts and I'm really happy with them. The sound is excellent and battery life is about 5 hours. They charge on their own dock which is useful. I haven't had a chance to try the noise cancelling feature yet but with ambient sound on the quality is very good. You get 3 sets rubber covers for the bud of different sizes so you'll find something that fits snugly. I'm always wary of one falling out but that's the nature of the beast. Would I recommend them, Yes I would.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Underwhelming I love Sony brand, since my first walkman as a kid its a brand I've been happy using growing up . The wireless earbuds recently purchased however are just bang average. Now I have the Sony top of the range headphones and they are amazing. These were bought for running but have really poor noise reduction and ambient sound. First bad product in 30 years so can't complain but the buds needs improvement in future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very disapointed The ANC dos not work. When I plug them in my ears, the surrounding noise get lower. This is due to insulation, not ANC. When I try to activate ANC a voice says ‘’Noise cancelling on’’, but there is no change in background noise, but the ‘’hear trough’’ function stops. Clicking the ear bud again it says ‘’ambient sound on’’ and you can hear more voices and more treble. I have them sent to the repair store but they say everything is normal. I have them compared to the ApplePro and the Apple works very well, but Sony does not work at all. Very disapointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ineffective noise cancelling Bought these on a recommendation that the noise cancelling was effective. Despite using the app and all three sizes of silicon ear piece very little effect. I can't get them further in my ear canal without rupturing something. Spent £200 and can't say they're worth anywhere near that. Oh, and while noise cancelling was important so was voice quality on calls; feedback is my voice isn't very clear! Maybe I got a bad example but I'm not happy with them

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Sony Name - Disappointing Product I bought this headset to use when travelling on long haul flights. The reviews were great, and the compact size meant it was much easier than full size headphones to pack into cabin baggage. I also loved the idea of them being automatically recharged in the travel case. On unboxing, the instructions took a bit of working through to set up the headset, involving downloading the app and registering a Sony account to complete the set up. The first disappointment was finding you need to make a monthly subscription to use the full features of the headset. The second disappointment was finding the headset is difficult to fit comfortably in your ears, they feel quite unstable in use as though they are going to fall out, so you continually push them back in. I would not like to wear these in the street, they feel quite unsafe. The third, and most annoying, disappointment was finding the headset is not compatible with apt-X codec, the most common software used to lip sync with TV's and video devices. It means that whenever you use a Bluetooth transmitter to watch TV or a video on an inflight entertainment system then the sound is out of sync with the video, very annoying. I did investigate Bluetooth transmitters compatible with Sony products, but they are definitely not portable and significantly more expensive than standard Bluetooth transmitters. I will test out the noise cancelling qualities next time I fly, but that will be the only benefit of using this headset against the disposable, cheap inflight headsets that airlines supply.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from After 6 months battery is failing! I bought these WF-1000XM4s 6 months ago through Amazon and the battery on the right bud is already failing. It will go from 100% to 0% after 3 hours of use. It is obviously an issue with the battery as the left bud will still have around 65% charge remaining. Unfortunately because of the way the earbuds work, once the right bud is out of charge you cannot continue to listen using just the left. I had a choice between these and Samsung Galaxy Buds and chose these because I was swayed by reviews. I wish I hadn't now. The hoops you have to jump through to get these repaired under the warranty has put me off the process. . Apart from the issue with the battery the Bluetooth connection drops and reconnects whenever I put my phone in my coat pocket as well! The microphone for use when taking calls is so bad that you end up taking your phone out so it defeats the purpose of the bud. I definitely wouldn't recommend these to anyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Let down by terrible instructions Reasonable performance, but let down by terrible instructions which don’t even tell you how to turn the noise cancelling on and off! It took me two days to work out how to turn the noise cancelling on. Also quite bulky in the air, so definitely can’t wear them lying with your head sideways on a pillow

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not bad but haven't blown me away Bought these as an upgrade for an existing pair of earbuds, after finding the correct inserts they are fairly comfortable but I certainly wouldn't want to run with them in. Sound is decent once adjusted via the app but again I was perhaps expecting pitch perfect sound given the rave reviews I read beforehand. Do I think they warrant £199?..no but they do have some nice features and the sound is definitely acceptable. All in all a reasonable purchase but perhaps didnt live up the hype I'd read beforehand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from pretty good Sound is perfect. Definitely the best sounding ear buds I have tried so far. The fit is great for me personally. ANC is pretty interesting. I dont know if it's good or bad cause that's my first experience with ANC. But i am pretty happy for now. Battery is pretty good but I am only using them in my office so there is always a charger nearby if I need it. The ear buds themselves are of very good quality but the case seems a bit worse. I feel like the first time I drop it, it will break. Connectivity is perfect and really fast for my android phone. But I never got them working on Windows 11 in neither my desktop nor my laptop. I hope they fix these issues cause that's the only reason they get 4 stars instead of 5.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor quality, lasted less than 6 months!! To start these earphones were great, decent noise cancelling, light and reasonable secure fit, so ideal for busy gyms and regular commute on London public transport. But after less than 6 months (closer to 4 to be honest) the right bud started to show faults, with the volume around 25% of the left bud, then noise cancelling stopped working and now the pair of earphones disconnect after 5-10 seconds of playback, reconnect and repeat the fault. Very frustrating and not what I expect from Sony nor for the price point. Had chosen these over Apple AirPod Pros and now regret the choice as the quality is so poor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound, effective NC, good battery life I have been using these since Dec 21. They have great musical sound, as well as very effective NC. The problems are: I had to change them once as the left bud became faulty and lost the bass. Occasionally one stops working so I have to disconnect and reconnect it. Otherwise very good piece of instrument.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great noise cancelling and sound quality Bought a few months ago. Great sound, battery lasts a long time. Noise cancelling is excellent. The only thing that let's it down for me is the touch controls. They're good, but they only register taps and not swipes. If they could register swipes, then you would be able to control far more.
