Pros

Good highs but seems to have a metallic echo at the highest volumes. I'm just * smacked sony have impressed me beyond my expectations.

The phone app is easy to use and sound settings can be also adjusted and set up from within the app. Perhaps, panorama is not too wide, but it's fine for most music. I. Reevaluate the sound quality, android and ios.

The buds sit smartly in the case and look very presentable. The case also has a very sturdy hinge which is very satisfying to close. The battery case is v. Created using recycled plastics for most of the device, with recyclable product box. The only p...  Read More

Super light and easy for ears. Small formfactor allows them to fit into my very small ears. The silicon eartips provide a tight seal and grip the inside of the ear.

They are really comfortable. The fit is sublime. No pain or discomfort with extended use. Battery life is good for casual use.



Cons

Audio quality does not live up to expectation. Anc does not work properly on these buds. Hard to replace and hard to remove from the bud. Poor anc performance on youtube videos.

There’s only about 50/50 chance that the earbuds will connect to my phone automatically without doing it through the app. The left earbud sometimes randomly starts screaming this high pitched sound. Obviously when you cough, it triggers, but even movi...  Read More

The noise cancellation is very selective and there's no way to change what frequencies it cancels. The software is a bit clunky, for instance, you can't check the battery without having them out of the case and connected. The tech that tries to detect...  Read More

Quality


Overall really pleased with these fair price for a quality product.


The sound quality is very good and the noise isolation works well.


After a lot of research i bough the big brother of these earbuds wf-1000xm4, the sound quality was amazing but they were just too bulky.


The bose were also big but with great sound but were literally painful with the clip around ear.

Shipping


This however sacrifices battery but the fast charging compensates that enough.

Competitiveness


That's less than half the price of airpods pro 2 and the new bose and overall their brilliant.


It's not going to move the world but it is very good and much better than some mid range sonys i've had.

    With the mentioned addon this product is like second nature otherwise with the medium size there is a constant feeling that they may fall out and with the large ones you will struggle to fit them in

    I had previously bought and returned another pair of ear buds which looked and felt like 1980’s bluetooth devices in my ears
