Sony WF-1000XM4 Noise Canceling Wireless Earbuds (Refurbished) Expired

coupon only brings it down to $159.58

I am guessing these don't have the deal breaker of a flaw that only one works independently, like all Jabras?

Is that after tax? For me, pricing is as follows:
Starting price:169.99
Coupon: -25.50
Tax: 13.17
Total: 157.66

As someone who has owned these since they've been introduced, they have a lot of glaring issues... atleast on iOS as I have nothing else to test them with.

1.) charge case is cheap and flimsy, feels like they will most likely break at some point
2.) the stock ear tips are not very comfortable, get dirty and brittle quickly and dont stay in your ears very well (I have to constantly push them back in my ear when at the gym or at work moving around)
3.) it has a bug where it will keep your alarm volume around 20 percent and only sometimes it lets you change it back which if you use your alarm is a serious annoyance
4.) sound quality takes a huge dip when you go above 70 percent volume and they arent entirely very loud in the first place, This is honestly the biggest annoyance for me as 60 percent volume is okay if you have ANC on but if you dont, it can be hard to hear the music.
5.) touch controls are not very responsive and can require multiple taps to get it to work, my basic airpods I have never had an issue with this, every tap was recognized

Overall, for retail at 299.99 USD these sound great but with how many problems I've had, even RMAing and getting a new pair, I am pretty turned off from these and will probably not trust Sony again. You can go online and find the same issues reported from other people and some even saying on Android having similar issues as well.

If they work great for you then im happy because I want to like them, when they work they do sound fantastic and easily the best ear buds I've ever heard, but again for 300 dollars and a reputable company you would think these ridiculous issues would've been ironed out by now.

How do these compare to AirPod pros

So far how do you like them?

Why people would get these while the Liberty 3 Pro is $129 brand new and MUCH better on each and every aspects, especially on audio quality, multiple devices and comfort?
