----------------------------------------------------
I'm interested in buying one, but have few concerns.
1) Foam ear tips. How does it compare with common silicon ear tips? How long will foam last? As far as I know, Sony does not sell replacement ear tips.
2) No default volume control. Apparently, you can add it via app by replacing Playback or ANC controls. Why not to keep all and allow more custom settings? This is strictly software/firmware issue. It does not make sense.
3) Complaints about fast battery drain and overheating.
a. Firmware 1.4.2 may be responsible for permanent battery damage. Sony is offering free replacement. Reddit Discussion. [reddit.com] dmx0 post
b. Some reviews say turning off voice assistant fixes the problem. https://youtu.be/_JmAZhAiz4I

----------------------------------------------------
Which is better?
- Sony WF-1000XM4
- Sony LinkBuds S
- Apple AirPods Pro 2
- Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
- Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II
- or something else

I would like to get quality Earbuds that last more than 13 months.

Please, share your experience.

    I personally like foam tips a lot better than silicone. They seal much better, fit better, and silicone always make the insides of my ears itchy. As for replacements, Comply makes some of the best foam tips on the market, and they have them for the WF-1000XM4, along with pretty much every other popular ear bud and IEM. I don't have first hand experience with the XM4 but I would be surprised if the Comply tips aren't better than the stock ones.

    These are my current favorite TWS. Not perfect but I like their "chunky" sound. I bit warm, not bright and meaty. I like my APP but they are like the diet version of the XM4.

    I have eyes on jabra elite 7 pro along with the list mentioned. They are $119 on Lenovo and am debating which ones to buy. My uses are phone, work, calls and multi point. 7 pro has multi point connectivity as of now and these Sony buds will get the multipoint soon with software updates. Any thoughts on which one might be better for my use?

    I've tried Bose , AirPods and Sony . Here my take
    1. Bose is the king in ANC if you're looking for ANC in specific. It's bulky i don't like the design .
    2. I'd rate AirPods 2 than Sony in the second spot. Better anc and eco system support .
    3. Sony - I like the way it's communicating when the mode is switching . It's not louder than other two .

    I own these, and I feel compelled to warn people. They're big and heavy. And the silicone tips don't adhere to my ear canal very well. I can only use them when I'm stationary because they fall out with any kind of movement. The sound quality is very good, but beware the fit.

    I have these and the 1st gen Bose earbuds. Bose are better for comfort and microphone. Sonys are better for size, connectivity, software, and battery. Both have great ANC and sound. Both are astoundingly wonderful for focus and enjoying music. I got the sonys on secondipity for $120 -- they are perfect/new condition, best I can tell. At $120, get the sonys!

    Thought these didn't have silicone. Now I am confused.

    Not sure why "Industry Leading" was added to the title, I did not write it.

    ------------------------
    Jabra Elite 7 Pro has button control (not touch surface like most of competition). Will you feel extra pressure on your ears when you push the button?

    My ears didn't like the foam tips so I bought aftermarket silicone tips. Night and day difference. I love these buds now. Excellent sound and I use them for workouts daily with no issues. I tried out quite literally a dozen different mid to high end earbuds before settling on these from Sony. The Jabras kept falling out. Airpod Pros, to me, were a lot of hype compared to the Sony XM4s. Just one man's opinion but I am very happy with this purchase. FYI, sometimes eBay has these on refurb for like 50 bucks less than this price. That's what I bought and have zero issues with them. Good luck to all!!

    I bought the jabra pro 7 refurb on the deal a few weeks back. I returned them due to poor mic. On multiple business calls, I was told they could not hear me.
