Sony Noise-Cancelling True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds WF-1000XM4 - Black (Renewed)

My main reason for getting these earbuds was for noise cancellation and music. I wanted to be able to cut the lawn and listen to music. I have a John Deere S160 and when the mower deck is on, you can't hear anything over it. Full "ear muff" headsets are uncomfortable to wear in hot weather and make it very difficult to wear a had for sun protection. I have tried other in ear devices, but without noise cancelling, you can't hear the music over the mower.I got these and put some music on, started up the mower and engaged the mower deck and immediately couldn't hear the music. I "tapped" the noise cancelling on and was amazed. I could still hear the deck, but only a little. The music came in loud and clear. I was totally pleased.In addition, the "tap" controls are great an allow me to control noise cancelling and playback with a simple tap of my finger.These are also great to use to talk on the phone. Nice hands free operation without having to turn the speaker on.I have not found earbuds that I consider comfortable, but these come close.The battery life is good. It takes me between 4 and 6 hours to cut the lawn. The battery will last almost the 6 hours and since I stop along the way to take a break, just a few minutes in the charging case insure that they will still be running when I am finished.

Less than one minute battery of left ear bud goes from 64% to 57% then 0% then 6% within 2 minutes. The left one also when charging got to 114 degrees before disabling charging. This should have shut off charging at 105 degrees i believe. Overall they look perfect they sound good for the 2 min i could listen after 11 hours of charge. Case also only charged buds one time and dead. This likely was not tested as stated. Not sure how you could miss this. Only need 2 min to know its got a bad battery. It came in a cheap ziplock bag. It only came with the small ear tips. Should have had all accessories.But not in original box. It did have a usb c cable. So my Only option is to send all back for refund not even a replacement. Probably better off checking out eBay. Its cheaper and prob better odds of getting what you paid for. I have a set of wf-1000xm4 but lost the case so now will have to wait another week or so maybe longer to use again or keep and repair myself it seems. That would put me almost at $200 for a so called “refurbished wf-1000xm4” after buying batteries if i decide to do that. VERY disappointed

The media could not be loaded. Honestly this is my first Amazon renewed purchase but these earbuds exceeded my expectations. Love the way they fit in my ears and stay even when running. They have a great bass response (I’m a huge stickler for clear but defined bass) and have had a really hard time finding good wireless earbuds that had all the qualities I wanted, but these are amazing. I’m a huge fan. I have the over ear headphone equivalent of these and always loved them so I thought I’d give these a try. I was a bit Leary with them being from the renewed store and almost 50% off the new ones. But there wasn’t a scratch on them. They looked and felt new and work perfectly.I will say the foam ear buds that come with them are THE WORST. I saw on a few other reviews that people kept recommending the ADX Eartune buds so I went with those since the are silicone and not only did they make them stay in my ear better and are far superior in comfort for longer wear time, but they also have a bigger hole and GREATLY improved the volume and clarity of the sound. So if you’re gonna get these, make sure to go ahead and by the eartune pieces. I for the medium size and it was a good general fit.

I got these earbuds to test out the state of noise cancelling earbuds. In my opinion they do not come up to the praise that I have read by professional reviewers. They do a fairly good job at noise cancellation, but are a bit heavy, a bit bulky, really could use longer battery life, and are clumsy to retrieve from the charging case. Although these are renewed items I find nothing that appears defective to them.The ear cushions are somewhat uncomfortable but you can get used to that. A good seal in the ear canal is essential to proper operation.I found the delay in responding to command taps and my spoken voice to be too long for comfortable operation. I have to anticipate the delay when using those features which is awkward when dealing with someone interrupting you.I estimate noise reduction of 6-9 db, which takes the edge off loud noises but doesn't give you real relief from them. They do seem to be more effective at reducing droning noise, and I am hoping that they will make airline flights more bearable by that but have been unable to test yet. I estimate droning noise reduction at greater than 20 db.The app is useful, but not greatly so. Still you need to install it to manage the earbuds. I've had no difficulties with the app on my Pixel phone.I wish these units were better, but they seem to be nearly the best available when I bought them. Still I give them 4 stars as a good, though imperfect, product for noise cancellation.

The earbuds arrived in what I would call 'like new' condition. They were not in any type of original packaging, which was expected. They shipped with 2 sets of tips. That was a nice bonus. Unfortunately one set was too small and the larger set would only seal in my left ear. This made the ANC ineffective. Luckily for me my beautiful wife saved the unused tips from the XM3 set. These fit and sealed perfectly.I have had these earbuds for a bit over a week now. I have tried every setting and used them in many environments. I can say that I am impressed with the ANC now that I have the proper seal. These are better than my Bose earbuds in that department.I would definitely recommend this product and seller.
