Beware that some of these buds have a "ringing" issue while listening to audiobooks or calls. This is not noticeable while listening to music and can only be heard during the above use cases.

If you get a good pair, these are the best ANC IEMs in the market right now and are well worth the price.

You have to go to their music center app and choose ldac. This will set ldac as the default for the applications you choose.

Exactly and I'm a big Sony fanboy . Returned them right away for the exact same things you mentioned.
Yeah these sucks.. not worth $279 but 149. My Jabra 65 sounds just as good.

well they're pretty good after using ldac..

Lost my Bose QC, purchase XM4, 12 day of use. 5-6 hours m-f. making phone calls, some music. used with oneplus8p or pix6pro

ANC. i prefer bose, but XM4 is excellent. Foam tip blocks out a lot, even before anc kicks in.
Mic. bose is better, XM4 mic sounds messy w/noisy back ground.
Fit. QC butterfly wing better than foam imo. Foam is comfy but ear fatique is real
Sound. XM4, is better, especially low end. not that im a audiophile
Battery. after 6 hours w ANC. Bose 20% battery at end of work. Sony. 35% battery at end of work.

you can use either unit serprately. (Bose, right only)
Pet peeve, no multi point.
control gesture for volume annoying.
great buy at $149.
solid for walking/office work/driving. at gym, meh. running not good idea.

*update firmware.i swear the sound quality got ampped up.
XM5 is scheduled to be out late 23/early 24 (i could be wrong)

Bought these on a Wednesday and they arrived on a Saturday. Super fast shipping. They sound amazing ; way better than airpods and noise canceling is top notch. Look new but no original packaging. Glad I bought these.

When you say best, can you elaborate? Sound quality, isolation, fit?

Best ANC. Fit is dependent on the individual. Isolation is good provided you use the right tips. I am not a fan of the default sound. XM3 and buds Pro are better in that regard. But, the EQ can help make the sound better and they have LDAC which is another plus.

Grabbed these to compare to my Google Pixel Buds....seems like the extra $40 will be a no-brainer given the better ANC etc.

Thanks OP!

These ear buds suck in New condition (using with Android). Had to return. Software for them makes them worse. More than half the time they'd be paired with no sound. Went and bought some ankr dot 2 buds for 50 bucks, worked flawlessly and dont need to deal with crapware.

I just got mine a few days ago. My set to a volume is very low even my phone volume is at max, and I can't even hear a voice prompt for Bluetooth pairing. Is there a way to make this better? Maybe I got a bad pair?

I just got mine. They look brand new. Not the most intuitive compared to my AirPods but quality is solid and now I'm comfortable with them after a quick read of the instructions - and changing what happens when I tap them!

Were you comparing these to the AirPod pros?

I just got mine in the mail, I don't hear any ringing from the headphones. That being said I do have tinnitus.

Mine came yesterday. Looked unused except for one set of tips that were clearly dirty.

I connected them to my phone and tried a call, but the other person couldn't hear me. Tried them on conference calls today and get a lot of echoes, pinging noises, and pops and crackles. Playing music, they sounded great for about 5 minutes. Then I tried to put one back in the case to try the left bud independently and all the sudden the audio quality went to crap (significantly quieter and overall tinny, like a cheap set of $3 headphones). I fiddled with them for less than an hour and experienced multiple issues.

Clearly this is one of the "refurb" varieties where they take defective / inconsistent units and just try to shuffle them back out into the market, hoping people don't return them. It's too bad, because I wanted them to work out and see the potential they had. Mine are going back.

So bummed when I see people say the ANC is great , I just returned a pair, the ANC barely did anything, despite trying multiple tips including 3rd party ones.

Thank you OP

I'm glad I bought these at that price. They arrived Like new- no box.
The sound quality and ANC is truly impressive
I'm reporting no ringing from mine as others have experienced from these headphones.

Small cons:
-Ambient sound even on max does not collect as well as my galaxybuds+; its hard to hear voices @ >60% volume you just hear sounds.
-These are slightly bulky and you will adjust to the fit in a few days. I'm neutral on the foam tips.
-The Sony Connect App interface needs work compared to Apple and Samsung wearable software.

**Using with GPixel6...the left ear buds sometimes manually turn off when switching thru apps on my phone. It only happens when LDAC is used. I have to restart bluetooth to get both buds functioning. It is a confirmed software issue. Some samsung phones also report this issue.
I decided not return these and hopefully firmware updates will fix this issue because the sound and ANC is too good. I would have returned if there was the ringing as it is reported to be a hardware issue. **
