You're meant to compress the ear tips before inserting them in your ears. You roll them into a little cylinder, then put them into your ear canal, and then let them expand to the shape of your ear.
It helps with the bass and acoustics. Similar to the over ear headphones that have sound cancelling. Gives you that studio experience. If you have other earbuds that don't have memory tips. I advise buying a pair off Amazon. They really help with the listening experience. I had to do that for my current powerbeats pro and it makes a world of difference. Hope this helps 👌🏾
Just got these. Set them up on S20 Ultra using LDAC on Tidal. All I can say is WOW. Never thought Bluetooth could sound this good. A steal at their retail price.
A steal at 279? The soundcore Liberty 3 Pros for 149 with active noise canceling, the soundcore Liberty 2 + for 99 with ldac or the status in between Pros for $89 after the 10% discount when they're on sale is a steal. These for nearly 300 are not a steal. Those three I just mentioned all sound better than the XM 4's
@@OneFineVol everyone on RUclips and facebook. Comments and reviewers rave about the status imbetween pros and liberty 3 pros. Personally I like the 2's better. No one raves about the Sony for their sound, only for their noise canceling. Way too pricey just for that. The best deal out of all 3 would be the status for $89
@@delboy-su3wf the Sony's? Have you tried increasing volume in the app? I don't know about the XM4, but the XM3 had a separate volume slider in the Headphones app that was independent of the phone's volume level. I have it set up to max and usually only go up to about half of my phone's volume bar.
Man sony makes the best headphones, I was surprised when I switch from bose to Sony, it was 50x better than the the quality of bose and it was the same price...
"If you want to lay down with your earbuds some people do"😂😂😂 Man I've been looking for someone mentioning that in any review about any earbuds YOU'RE THE GUY BUDDY.. 👏👏🙏
It's actually good that only you can interupt the playing music, cause the other way around it may disturb you every time when the other person is talking to other people around you.
SONY has been killing it with both headphones and earbuds for the while now. Actually they have generally been killing it with their audio products in general
@@vitorfernandes651 Nice arrogant comment. Expressing your opinion as someone being "wrong". WHAT I said is not "wrong". It's my opinion based on my own experiences with their products. You are merely stating your opinion. As am I. I have used a number of Sony headphones and earbuds and have found none of them to be uncomfortable (that's about as subjective as it gets). And really?....your analysis is based on what you have tried at airports lol. Get back to me when you have actually used said products for any length of time, and you can actually talk about the things like sound quality, ANC, customizable app, battery life etc.......instead of nothing more than your superficial impressions from the airport.
@@vitorfernandes651 these are earbuds and no stores let you trial these for hygiene reasons. At least not in my Country and the Airports I’ve been too.
@@treytaggart2063 do you use ios or android? Really confused on which I should get since I’m on Apple, would the Sony’s be just as good as the AirPods?
@@jss8093 I’m returning my Sony’s because they aren’t as loud as the AirPods just had better noise canceling and bass and they are too big for my ears I’m gonna buy AirPods
If anyone reads this comment, make sure you TRY THE SMALL EAR TIPS. With the medium and large ear tips, it doesn’t go into the ear as far and you can’t keep the buds snug in/around your ear. So don’t worry, it’s not the buds. Just customize it to what you need and trust me, you will see how good these are. Just got them today and I love them already (coming from MDR-XB950BT headphones).
@@yessuhdudee5074 I have learned that any ear tip other than the original ones will fall out. The third-party ones I have tried don't have the notch that the original ones do, in order for them to not fall out when taking your earbuds out.
I love these buds and I’m a borderline audiophile. I’m also a basshead and I love how the app lets you eq them for sub bass. They have really good noise canceling, too.
Just got mine last week. Switched to a samsung phone so I needed a good wireless earbud. And let me say, the sound quality of these especially when using LDAC absolutely buries airpods pro. I'm someone who uses beyerdynamic dt1990 pro headphones at my desktop ($600), and I think these sound good even in comparison. Especially using tidal lossless audio
Have had a silver pair since release. Worth every penny of the price. Dont put silver case into your jeans pocket unless you want to tint it, from personal experience... 😅
I absolutely love mine! I love how it switches from noise cancellation to Ambient noise when I start talking and returns to music after 5 seconds or however long you want it to return to Noise Cancelling/ Music. The sound is up there with my over the head Sony XB-900 and that's saying a lot cause those batboys put out some serious Bass!
So far the buds are pretty good, especially its amazing ANC function, speaking as a user who went from buds without ANC to ANC buds. The firmware might require some slight updates. Overall, a great purchase for me. Don't regret paying that much for it yet.
For me personally, I don't feel any discomfort wearing them while commuting at all. It can be worn for at least a good 2 hours. At first you'll have some minor discomfort around the front of your ears. But after you are more familiar with the buds, you can normally find the best way to wear them that doesn't cause any pain.
i didn't have this earphones , but i have a lmid range sony headphone which is sony wh ch700n , my phone support dolby atmos and for that headphone it sounds phenomenal , so i bet this earphones will sounds great too
I use dolby atmos for music on spotify with LDAC codec and sound priority mode with everything maxed out , it sounds like in studio with your favorite artist , it just depends if you use neutral eq if an audiophile or prefer more classic as it is eq that is decent but not groundbreaking , dolby atmos works best with neutral sound in my opinion on my sony wh-1000xm3
Got these Monday, using them for work calls paired to my MacBook Pro, and some media Replacing my WH XM3 So far it has been great, like mentioned you do sometimes need to do an extra twist so they seat well, noise cancelling is excellent, something I could not get working on the headset If they power off most of the time by the time you have them seated in your ear it has reconnected So far no one has complained about the mic, so gonna assume it's ok or better After 4 days of use gonna say worth the cost
I just bought these earbuds and I know everyone is hyping these up. Maybe this feedback will help: 1.) If the buds feel uncomfy at first, put on the smaller earplugs and pinch the tip before putting it in (that's what she said) 2.) when listening to podcasts, a weird noise happens with them. Almost like a high pitch note being played.
Enjoy the review! Wound up disabling speak to chat, for the sake of being on conference calls and it turning on from hearing other voices. That was a dope a wireless charger. Who makes it?
Pro tip: The beige version doesn't look all that good in pictures, but in person the color is actually pretty dope and you can stand out from the crowd more since everyone is usually rocking the black and copper
Picked a pair of these up for $149 last weekend during all the sales and they're getting delivered today. Stoked! Pricing seems to be the only downside I've seen with these, so I jumped on the deal almost immediately.
I bought them (yes I still watch review videos after purchase) and the sound is great compared to other BT headphones. The lack of multi point is the most annoying part for me. While the call quality is not the best, in a quiet office environment, I get no complaints. It does some strange things though, if I pause, it sounds like it toggles ANC and ambient mode on and off and it sounds odd/annoying like pressurizing then depressurizing. NFC and multipoint, that would make 9/10. Without, and for $280.. 7.5/10. Happy but also thinking why did they skip out on some usefull features.
Your reviews are ok. What would be good is if you start with the audio quality first since that’s the primary reason for headphones. The issue with the previous gen was the volume. Are they louder? Etc.
@@MUSTAKKothiwala wtf...?! Really now..? You have to be exaggerating. No over the head headphones can be outdone by an iem (unless your spending 2-3k) let alone a BT earbuds.. But then again, they're your ears and not mine.. So i guess you could be right. But i just don't think that's possible.
I returned my 3 days old xm3 and exchange it to xm4. XM4 is slightly better on bass , but the XM3 has just a bit forward mids and highs. The equalizer helps big time for both. The XM4 is more comfortable on my ears vs the XM3. Sound signature for both is awesome! Better than Bose earbuds. If you like R&B’s or bass heavy music, XM4 is your best bet! Loving mine so far!
My only gripe with these are the foam tips sort of "peel" over time. But they haven't changed in audio quality. Hopefully they'll fix this issue with the next generation. The ANC with these are... God Tier!
I actually tried to buy those at three different target stores, and one Best Buy near me last month. They were entirely sold out, so I bought the Bose QC in-ears and will buy these next month. The Bose that I purchased were also US$279, and sound great. But look like dual bluetooths and are HUGE.
Good point on the auto voice pause. Of course it tries to purely block even conversation coz the headset don't know if someone is talking to you that's why it only triggers when you talk...
For them to fit quickly and properly it's easy, and simple. 1: Pinch the tip of the Earbuds. 2: Place it into ear canal 3: Move from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock 4: A few times. 5: Then wait for the foam/silica to expand NB! Tip: Quick, easy and simple!
@@YesNo-xc2dr yes. I run a lot and I thought that I'd have trouble keeping them on. Not once have they fell. Also they are a God send at the gym with the noise canceling.
That’s the thing for me.. I like these, as for the features but I have the Airpods 2 right now (not pros) and they fit perfectly for me which I love though they are feature lacking. Tried the airpod pros and they are just not as superior for me when it comes to comfort. For me, it’s always is comfort first and then music quality, NC second, third etc.
As always another excellent review. Truly one of the best tech reviewers on YT!! Though I'll be sticking with my airpods pro cause of their simplicity and comfort level.
@@aluminumelon I have sent them back! I didn't like them at all I found the fit to be terrible! When they were in my ears my wife could hear my music so they clearly didn't fit correctly and I tried all 3 of the different sized tips, but the deal breaker for me was when I went for a run I kept having the left ear bud fall out and when it didn't all I could hear was thumping! So not worth the money IMO, so they have been returned. I will be using my Galaxy buds from now on while exercising as they are brilliant and I have the WH-1000XM4's so I'll just use those around the house
had these since day one. Best earphones all around. Use them at the gym daily as well, 100% recommend. Just still waiting for a good plastic case, no silicone cases
I just kopped the SONY WH1000XM3, and they're some of the best headphones I've ever purchased. I'll eventually kop a pair of the WF1000XM4, so I can have a premium pair of true wireless bluetooth headphones.
I had watched a video by DesFit I believe, he ran with them and does a fairly good active review. I’ve had the Bose quiet comfort earbuds and those were very secure but I was stupid and thought I missed my AirPods so I went back. I was wrong, I am selling them to go back to the Bose for sure. I’d say they are pretty close from what I’ve been reading with the Sony maybe slightly better but I’d say you can’t go wrong. Idk if Sony has volume control on the ears but Bose does and that could be a deciding factor as well.
I always used budget headphones until I got some airpods, then airpod pros, then the qc35s, then Airpod Pro Max. They honestly do get better and better as you level up in price. I will be looking at these to potentially replace my airpod pros. I dont really use ambient features so that doesnt matter. They look so good compared to last gen as well. I felt like the old ones looked like they bluetooth earpiece everyone use back in 2009
I have used the WF-1000XM3 non-stop for a year and a half and I can say they have great noise cancelling and really good sound quality. The only downsides they have is that the case is way bulky compared to Galaxy buds and they have lost almost 50% of battery capacity compared to when they were brand new. Nor the less, I will definitely buy this new ones.
I don't own these but when you told me the price, I genuinely thought it was such a good deal because of everything they offer, Amazing review as always :) Update: After saving up, I bought them and the sound is truly out of this world 👀❤️
Best earbuds on the market. Listening to each song is like a completely new experience each time, it's magical really. Sony knows earbuds and headphones, period.
Great video, of course you already knew that. To be honest, I thought $250 was a lot for the AirPods Pro and I still think that $280 is too much for these earbuds; even though I think they have a better value than the AirPods Pro. Maybe a $200-$210 is a good price for these types of earbuds. I hope you do a long term review of these earbuds because my concern is the longevity of the ear tips and how accessible, in stock and price, they are.
These earbuds are AWESOME!!!!!! Bought them yesterday to complement the over ear WH-1000XM3's that I have in case I didn't want to carry the headphones. The ONLY thing I don't like about them is the short USB cable. That's alright though because I'm assuming you can use any other USB-C cable and/or charger (as long as the wattage isn't too powerful of course. I'm using my Samsung S20+ cable and charger for it), but still. It's worth a mention that the short USB cable that comes with it, is NOT enough.
I just got the earbuds today, and I love them! But… I plug them in to charge, and everything seems fine in terms of getting them powered. But, even when they’re fully charged (as is the case), the LED stays on yellow. They’re still plugged in, but shouldn’t the indicator LED turn green or off when they’re fully charged? At a glance, I find it very confusing that the LED stays on yellow even though everything’s fully charged. Is my case faulty? EDIT: It actually seems to turn off after about 5-6 minutes. But, if I plug them in again, it starts over. According to the support documents, it should turn off immediately after being charged fully. Thanks for reading :)
Great review, indeed. Just got these and previously I was using the Wh-1000X3. Man, they sound incredible. I don't have any complaints about them. Absolutely amazing.
i've bought mine a couple weeks ago and abosolutely love them, however i've noticed a pinging noise when I have a phone call or when they are tapped in my ear, is this the case with you?
@@zytoses9223 Well, I haven't really noticed that sound yet, although there is a slight beep that appears at the start of a conversation on my laptop, I don't know if that's what you mean. However, it is not very often.
@@dirty_dan75158 Holy cow. I mean, I make a really good living, but I just can't bring myself to spend this kind of cash on such basic stuff. I guess it comes from just scraping by when you're young maybe.
There is no reason to spend $279 on these it's sony they will have great discount every couple months I'll probably get those on black Friday pretty sure it'll be like $220 to $200
Thanks for this great review. You can't believe that I've only just got this today for the first time ever. ( I've been using a different one from another brand) I live this piece from Sony even if there's a newer one now (X5). I got this for a lower price. Thanks again for the video.
I'm a Sony guy and most of my products are Sony bcoz they are great. Used these for about a year and everything was excellect, the sound quality and the ANC was mind blowing. The only downside which i think is quite important to me is that : 1) call quality decent in quiet environments but the moment u go outdoor that's where it gets bad. ALL the time the person i'm speaking to couldn't hear me clearly and it picks up so much noise so i end up taking it out and held my phone on my ear. 2) weidrly sound is excellent but the moment u increase the volume above 60% the bass decrease and music becomes flat. I thought i had a defective set but when i go to Sony to have it checked the lady told me it's normal as it's part of a safety feature to protect your ear. These 2 flaws are really a bummer and important to me, love these buds but no choice and sadly i have to sell it away. Now i bought the MTW3, not the best in terms of ANC but at least it works perfectly as an all rounder.
Just got mine Friday. Everywhere has been sold out and unfortunately all I could get was the grey color. I want the black but they sound amazing and I’m glad the Bluetooth connection on iOS has been fixed from the last generation. Great review as always!
Just ordered a pair! Already got the big xm5 headphones that cost like £400 and I LOVE them! But need something smaller for work when active more so these are perfect
You're meant to compress the ear tips before inserting them in your ears. You roll them into a little cylinder, then put them into your ear canal, and then let them expand to the shape of your ear.
This is very helpful thank you!
Ooh thats smart actually lol iv just been jamming them in like normal earbuds but squishing them down helps alot more👍
That’s cool but sounds super annoying to do every single time you put your earbuds in

@@MUSTAKKothiwala wtf...?! Really now..? You have to be exaggerating. No over the head headphones can be outdone by an iem (unless your spending 2-3k) let alone a BT earbuds..
But then again, they're your ears and not mine.. So i guess you could be right. But i just don't think that's possible.
@@fabiospringer6328 👍🏾 i agree.. But we can't blame them i guess.. Their tactics to pull you in their eco. 🤷🏾
Love these things! Absolutely gorgeous to use!
I judge how good a product is by whether Carl wants it or not. LOL 😂
Funny
Cant go wrong with that standard

Just found your channel today. Excellent reviews on the products and brands I enjoy. Going to get a set of these today!
I returned my 3 days old xm3 and exchange it to xm4. XM4 is slightly better on bass , but the XM3 has just a bit forward mids and highs. The equalizer helps big time for both. The XM4 is more comfortable on my ears vs the XM3.
Sound signature for both is awesome! Better than Bose earbuds. If you like R&B’s or bass heavy music, XM4 is your best bet! Loving mine so far!
My only gripe with these are the foam tips sort of "peel" over time. But they haven't changed in audio quality. Hopefully they'll fix this issue with the next generation. The ANC with these are... God Tier!
I actually tried to buy those at three different target stores, and one Best Buy near me last month. They were entirely sold out, so I bought the Bose QC in-ears and will buy these next month.
The Bose that I purchased were also US$279, and sound great. But look like dual bluetooths and are HUGE.
Good point on the auto voice pause. Of course it tries to purely block even conversation coz the headset don't know if someone is talking to you that's why it only triggers when you talk...
I use xm3 and it is great, I can't imagine how great the xm4 is.
For them to fit quickly and properly it's easy, and simple.
1: Pinch the tip of the Earbuds.
2: Place it into ear canal
3: Move from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock
4: A few times.
5: Then wait for the foam/silica
to expand
NB! Tip: Quick, easy and simple!
Just got mine two days ago. Coming from Bose these bad boys are amazing. I’m looking for excuses to keep them on all day long
got any updates?
@@YesNo-xc2dr yes. I run a lot and I thought that I'd have trouble keeping them on. Not once have they fell. Also they are a God send at the gym with the noise canceling.
@@preparedlife3114 well damn u convinced me, looks like im getting one! thanks
Firstly, honest, unbiased and awesome review. Secondly, I really liked your ring, is it possible to know where did you get it made or purchased ?
That’s the thing for me.. I like these, as for the features but I have the Airpods 2 right now (not pros) and they fit perfectly for me which I love though they are feature lacking. Tried the airpod pros and they are just not as superior for me when it comes to comfort. For me, it’s always is comfort first and then music quality, NC second, third etc.
These are $400 Canadian. CRAZY expensive but your video pointed out some really great features…. Think I’m gonna bite the bullet and get them!
Definitely worth the price. I have both the Sony headphones and buds. Haven't used my Airpods or Beats since I got these.
Same
well im glad someone has both the headphones and earbuds cuz i was on the fence buying these having the xm4 headphones and want these also
How secure do they sit in your ears? I need earphones to do exercise
@@christophercarranza2920 I use the earbuds for the gym and headphones for zoom calls, work etc.
@@christophercarranza2920 They're as secure as the airpods pro. Solid fit
Just got mines yesterday and as always your review videos are amazing and a lot of information for the buyer.
Im having an issue. In my same earphones above 60 or 70 percentage volume audio quality getting low . Do u have any similar issue ??
As always another excellent review. Truly one of the best tech reviewers on YT!! Though I'll be sticking with my airpods pro cause of their simplicity and comfort level.
Mine arrive tomorrow, and I can't wait to get them pumping out some banging tunes!! 😎
How are they? I'm on the fence for them
@@aluminumelon I have sent them back! I didn't like them at all
I found the fit to be terrible! When they were in my ears my wife could hear my music so they clearly didn't fit correctly and I tried all 3 of the different sized tips, but the deal breaker for me was when I went for a run I kept having the left ear bud fall out and when it didn't all I could hear was thumping! So not worth the money IMO, so they have been returned. I will be using my Galaxy buds from now on while exercising as they are brilliant and I have the WH-1000XM4's so I'll just use those around the house
had these since day one. Best earphones all around. Use them at the gym daily as well, 100% recommend. Just still waiting for a good plastic case, no silicone cases
I just kopped the SONY WH1000XM3, and they're some of the best headphones I've ever purchased. I'll eventually kop a pair of the WF1000XM4, so I can have a premium pair of true wireless bluetooth headphones.
Sony is best 👌 for sound quality , picture quality etc. Even though Air pod pro is one of the best Sony just came as a real smart player 👍..
these just came on sale and I couldn't wait to snag em up!
Does anyone know how well these stay in your ears while running/exercising?
I had watched a video by DesFit I believe, he ran with them and does a fairly good active review. I’ve had the Bose quiet comfort earbuds and those were very secure but I was stupid and thought I missed my AirPods so I went back. I was wrong, I am selling them to go back to the Bose for sure. I’d say they are pretty close from what I’ve been reading with the Sony maybe slightly better but I’d say you can’t go wrong. Idk if Sony has volume control on the ears but Bose does and that could be a deciding factor as well.
Bought the Sony wf-1000mx4 renewed on Amazon and it basically came looking brand new for 159$ USD and works like new
yes i have been waiting for this
The wife and I are very pleased with these. Worth the money 👍🏾👍🏾 awesome review 👍🏾👍🏾
Something that people miss to cover is, how good are the mic with phone calls
Great presentation young man.
QQ: What happens if you are singing along? Will it stop playing?
PS... Nice watch. What is that?
I always used budget headphones until I got some airpods, then airpod pros, then the qc35s, then Airpod Pro Max. They honestly do get better and better as you level up in price. I will be looking at these to potentially replace my airpod pros. I dont really use ambient features so that doesnt matter. They look so good compared to last gen as well. I felt like the old ones looked like they bluetooth earpiece everyone use back in 2009
I've had these for a day, cannot fault them. Worth the money if you ask me 👌🏾
I have used the WF-1000XM3 non-stop for a year and a half and I can say they have great noise cancelling and really good sound quality. The only downsides they have is that the case is way bulky compared to Galaxy buds and they have lost almost 50% of battery capacity compared to when they were brand new. Nor the less, I will definitely buy this new ones.
Yea the case is actually massive lol
This was a great review!!
I don't own these but when you told me the price, I genuinely thought it was such a good deal because of everything they offer, Amazing review as always :)
Update: After saving up, I bought them and the sound is truly out of this world 👀❤️
Do you have iPhone or android
@@gambit3228 Android :)
Thanks for the review! I wasn't sure and you convinced me to go for it! Nice work 👏🏽
4:00 what kind of wireless charger is that, love the sleek and minimal design ?
I would love to know as well
Yes please
Found the charger it's called the " Satechi" trio wireless charger.
Best earbuds on the market. Listening to each song is like a completely new experience each time, it's magical really. Sony knows earbuds and headphones, period.
Honestly, why the hell are products still shipping with USB-A in 2021? It's been 7 years since USB-C!
nobody even knew USB-C existed in 2014
@@brandon_nope Fair, but in 2015, when the 12-inch MacBook came out
Most people only have USB A charging bricks, will be a few years till everyone starts shipping C to C cables
@@osamashaher3772 Yeah sure, and since everyone has USB-A cables, USB-A power adapters are being shipped. That's a vicious circle.
„Left with your thoughts in that weird area“ hahaha! Awesome 😂
Great video, of course you already knew that. To be honest, I thought $250 was a lot for the AirPods Pro and I still think that $280 is too much for these earbuds; even though I think they have a better value than the AirPods Pro. Maybe a $200-$210 is a good price for these types of earbuds. I hope you do a long term review of these earbuds because my concern is the longevity of the ear tips and how accessible, in stock and price, they are.
These earbuds are AWESOME!!!!!! Bought them yesterday to complement the over ear WH-1000XM3's that I have in case I didn't want to carry the headphones. The ONLY thing I don't like about them is the short USB cable. That's alright though because I'm assuming you can use any other USB-C cable and/or charger (as long as the wattage isn't too powerful of course. I'm using my Samsung S20+ cable and charger for it), but still. It's worth a mention that the short USB cable that comes with it, is NOT enough.
Get a Magnetic Connection Cable. Simple
Yo
Just ordered a pair, thanks for reviewing all the features! More feedback on your thoughts of the sound quality would be nice too
Now all I need is mkbhd to review these
Excellent review, thank you. Do you recommend buying it and using it with an iPhone?
I just got the earbuds today, and I love them! But…
I plug them in to charge, and everything seems fine in terms of getting them powered.
But, even when they’re fully charged (as is the case), the LED stays on yellow. They’re still plugged in, but shouldn’t the indicator LED turn green or off when they’re fully charged?
At a glance, I find it very confusing that the LED stays on yellow even though everything’s fully charged. Is my case faulty?
EDIT: It actually seems to turn off after about 5-6 minutes. But, if I plug them in again, it starts over. According to the support documents, it should turn off immediately after being charged fully.
Thanks for reading :)
Great review, indeed. Just got these and previously I was using the Wh-1000X3. Man, they sound incredible. I don't have any complaints about them. Absolutely amazing.
i've bought mine a couple weeks ago and abosolutely love them, however i've noticed a pinging noise when I have a phone call or when they are tapped in my ear, is this the case with you?
@@zytoses9223 Well, I haven't really noticed that sound yet, although there is a slight beep that appears at the start of a conversation on my laptop, I don't know if that's what you mean. However, it is not very often.
For me you answered the question in the first 30 seconds with that price.
Ok
I got the Bowers and Wilkins earphones for $400 xD. This is budget stuff
@@dirty_dan75158 Holy cow. I mean, I make a really good living, but I just can't bring myself to spend this kind of cash on such basic stuff. I guess it comes from just scraping by when you're young maybe.
Hi, new sub here from Manila. Like your show and format!
There is no reason to spend $279 on these it's sony they will have great discount every couple months I'll probably get those on black Friday pretty sure it'll be like $220 to $200
They might.. every country is sold out i believe for the black version
@@peanut7260 I'm talking about the States
Thanks for this great review. You can't believe that I've only just got this today for the first time ever. ( I've been using a different one from another brand) I live this piece from Sony even if there's a newer one now (X5). I got this for a lower price. Thanks again for the video.
Chapters man, make chapters. Don't be lazy
Just purchased! Excellent video, thanks.
Love the buds.
*""Who else Feels like RUclips is there best Friend during covid?""* ❣️❣️
Tried the galaxy buds pro. Returned. Seinhausser momentum 2. Returned. Picked up these.. Best earbuds period.
Thanks for an awesome video as always! Will you be reviewing the IRIS Flow Headphones at any point?
I'm a Sony guy and most of my products are Sony bcoz they are great. Used these for about a year and everything was excellect, the sound quality and the ANC was mind blowing. The only downside which i think is quite important to me is that :
1) call quality decent in quiet environments but the moment u go outdoor that's where it gets bad. ALL the time the person i'm speaking to couldn't hear me clearly and it picks up so much noise so i end up taking it out and held my phone on my ear.
2) weidrly sound is excellent but the moment u increase the volume above 60% the bass decrease and music becomes flat. I thought i had a defective set but when i go to Sony to have it checked the lady told me it's normal as it's part of a safety feature to protect your ear.
These 2 flaws are really a bummer and important to me, love these buds but no choice and sadly i have to sell it away. Now i bought the MTW3, not the best in terms of ANC but at least it works perfectly as an all rounder.
Picked up a pair of these on boxing day... my mind is blown on how amazing these things are.. unreal really
Just got mine Friday. Everywhere has been sold out and unfortunately all I could get was the grey color. I want the black but they sound amazing and I’m glad the Bluetooth connection on iOS has been fixed from the last generation. Great review as always!
It was sold out at best buy and target for me..but I found a pair at PC Richardson. I'm glad I got my hands on them!
These Buds are Amazing. I Love my WF-1000XM3'S & my WF-1000XM4'S.
Just ordered a pair! Already got the big xm5 headphones that cost like £400 and I LOVE them! But need something smaller for work when active more so these are perfect
Thanks for a great video and detailed review keep the great quality of your videos
Fantastic Review. I’ll definitely be getting these now!
