Review: Best on the Market! - I've been using these for several months now as an upgrade from the WF-1000XM3's. These are absolutely a worthy upgrade. They are in my opinion, very comfortable, the ANC is top notch, and the sound from these is every bit as excellent as you may have heard this is subjective of course. I have had absolutely no trouble with the bluetooth, using my android phones, "P30 Pro" and "Xiaomi M11" alongside the desertcart Music unlimited HD app. The Sony headphones app to go with these is excellent and provides all the functionality/enhancements you could wish for to support your earbuds. The battery life is also fantastic. The other buds I use are the Anker Liberty Pro 3s. These are also an excellent option and are considerably cheaper. They also have an great app to go with them. They have good ANC and a very clear sound to them, I would also absolutely recommend them. However the Sony Wf-1000xm4 buds, provide a wonderful warmth and clarity to the tone, that the Liberty Pros do not have, indeed I have yet to experience anything close to Sony's warm and clear signature sound the same way from any other manufacturer. So they will always rate as No1 for me as long as this quality along with everything else I've mentioned is kept to the same high standard. In my opinion, buy them, you won't be disappointed. (obviously ensure to use the right eartips for a good seal and to get the best sound quality). Highly Recommended I will now make an addendum to my earlier review on the early release version of these buds. Just a few weeks ago, I started to suffer the dreaded battery drain problem on my left bud. They charge, but the left bud drains very quickly now. To be fair, I have been using them for 2 years, but at the price paid I hoped for longer before problems set in. Such a shame, they are out of warranty and I can no longer get a free replacement. I have however managed to get a brand new set of same for £150. These were manufactured this year (2023) and do not at this point seem to suffer with the battery problem. Indeed it is stated that they will not suffer with this issue. Time will tell. I truly enjoy the sound of these buds, they really are that good. They are in my humble honest opinion still some of the absolute best on the market, and I've tried many options. Everything I said in my initial review still holds true. So I am not going to rush into getting the Xm5 set for a while. I shall ensure any manufacturing bugs are ironed out first. Then I'll consider it. Until then, I still highly recommend these as they are an excellent choice. Do be sure of course to get ones with a 2023 manufacturing date on them if possible. Look around too, as you should be able to get a very good deal on them now the XM5s are out.
Review: Sony do it again, and again and again - I’m heavily into decent audio whether that’s ear buds, speaker, headphones. The sound quality is outstanding, nice amount of bass and the app provided for different option in terms of sound as well as customising. Talk through is excellent so you don’t have to take them out to have a conversation. Yes it feels a bit odd at first but once you’re confident you are shouting you can chat easily. You can change the sitting to whether turn this off (I found it activates if I cough which is ideal if I know I’m somewhere I won’t be talking) or you can change the amount of time is stays active. Noise cancellation is very good! Remember these are ear buds, they will never match over ear headphones (I recommend the over ear versions of these whether you go hard on the M5’s or get a great deal on the M3’s - I have the latter and they remain my favourite to block the world out and disappear into great sounding music!) They do however turn the volume right down on chatter around you. I bought these for the office where there can be upwards of 8 people talking together or on the phone - we do have someone who lacks awareness of their own volume but these buds heavily reduce this noise. You may heard a bit when the music goes quite or in between tracks but even on the Bose Quiet Comfort 2 they do do this. So go at these knowing you’ll hear a little something and you’ll be right. The buds themselves are big. I have small ears (I’m female) and they fit and feel great. I thought they’d feel heavy or cumbersome but they didn’t. I’ve considered the new M5’s but as I don’t have problem I don’t need that solution (albeit if just LOVE to have them because they are going to be great!) You get three sizes of tips. I wear two different sizes having one ear canal a bit bigger. You just make sure you twist them in (gently, no need to ram them!) to get them to ‘lock’ and that will support comfort and noise cancellation. The holder keeps the buds charged, it’s nice and small, so would fit in your jeans pocket for example, and not look like you have something extremely bulky in there. I like that the ear buds grab magnetically into the case and also when you close it it has that reassuring magnetic snap. There is a light on the case to show you the charging level as well. This can also be viewed within the app. In terms of the app, this is brilliant and stable, as is the connection between my iPhone and the ear buds. The app offers everything you would expect in terms of information regarding the charge of the buds and the case as well as the ability to change from noise cancelling to ambient sound or two neither of these. In summary, Sony know exactly what they are doing and whether you go for the M4 or another version such as the M5. I have no doubt you will not be disappointed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: a number of reports say get the right size tips. are a range of tip sizes supplied  with the earphones ?**
A: There are 3 sizes - small medium and large. I used the large. They lasted for 3 weeks! I had to purchase other tips. Soft spongy tips will always deteriorate quickly. They may provide a secure noiseless fit….but only briefly. The best are the silicone tips provided by independent producers.

**Q: Anybody pressing the touch controls by accident when adjusting the fit? I hate that**
A: Occasionally, yes.
However, as you get more used to it, it becomes less of a problem. 
Accidental button press can be eliminated by selecting on or off in the app, and then when you're happy with the fit, the opposite may be selected...

**Q: Can you use those cables that keep the headphones chained together to prevent loss with these headphones?**
A: Hi Alex,

As we don’t test our products with all 3rd-party accessories we cannot guarantee their functionality. However, you could ask other members of the Sony community if they have successfully used such devices with their headphones here: http://bit.do/fPia7 (copy and paste the link into your web browser).

Sony support team

**Q: Are these good for running? Are they secure in the ear?**
A: They weren’t too bad. The first time I ran 5k in them, the left one fell out a couple of hundred metres from my front door on the way back.  I couldn’t recommend these though after they fell apart and Sony customer service let me down. You can see my 5 star review that got revised back down to 1 star. If you look at the pics, I’m not the only one to have had an ear bud fall to pieces due to poor material.  Amazon refunded mine and I’ve now got the Bose ones.  They fit very securely in your ear. Very happy with the Bose.

Le encantaron a mi hijo, su sonido es excelente esa fidelidad que caracteriza a Sony, su calidad en materiales y por un momento me dejé llevar por opiniones de que solo para orejas grandes y es mentira por eso trae diferentes tamaños de gomas y efectivamente bloquea el sonido no escuchas nada de afuera, espero que duren mucho tiempo claro también hay que cuidarlos Súper recomendable. La entrega en tiempo y forma. Excelente
