Anonymous, 08 Jun 2021Anything about the latency?SBC/AAC/LDAC only options = extra high.

    Anonymous, 08 Jun 2021Because Apple and Samsung know they are gonna keep selling ... moreA really hard truth anyway. If only Sony had better public presence, then these other multi-billion dollar companies will be doing much better than what they are doing today to remain competitive and relevant.

          I found it was a bit short to my liking for a review...maybe first impressions?
          I also seriously doubt someone could listen to them at max volume.
          Are they that much better than the WF-1000XM3 for sound, i doubt it and LDAC codec has its share of problems...
          I woul be interested to know what s the battery life likey life with DSEE Extreme, EQ and Noise cancelling activated with AAC...is it close to 5 hours?

          Finally, I am more interested in getting those new wf-1000XM4 eartips alone to replace the ones on the WF-1000XM3

            Aniket, 08 Jun 2021They are completely confused over the WH-1000XM4 and WF-1000XM4Can anyone really blame them? Seriously what Sony is thinking when branding their products? They are just horrible and no-one will remember the name or want to say it aloud. Also no-one understand what the name means.

                    Shanti Dope, 08 Jun 2021To think that Sony offers probably the best wireless earbud... moreThats why Sony is getting under on the mobile and this platform
                    To come later with something better than others is a no brainer
                    Is like making an samsung galaxy S22 worse than S21
                    Probably the rest will come with a better product than this...and after that sony will come with next gen that will be better and so on

                      They are completely confused over the WH-1000XM4 and WF-1000XM4

                        The incorrect use of WH1000XM4 instead of WF1000XM4 gave me headache :(

                          Shanti Dope, 08 Jun 2021To think that Sony offers probably the best wireless earbud... moreBecause Apple and Samsung know they are gonna keep selling more, no matter what they offer. They can remove stuff after stuff, sales do not get weaker.

                          Apple is like a cult. People are gonna buy whatever they come up with, no matter if it is more expensive despite being inferior.

                          AirPods Max costs much more than 🎧 from Sony, Bose, JBL, Sennheiser. Still gonna sell more than all them. Same applies to AirPods Pro, much inferior to buds from Sony and Samsung.

                            To think that Sony offers probably the best wireless earbuds in the market today while their phones still offer the classic 3.5mm jack just really makes the other companies' excuse of selling their inferior earbuds truly ridiculous at any given circumstance.
                            If there would be one who would have the right to remove the jack, it would just be Sony, and yet they still didn't go that route, so neither should the other multi-billion dollar phone companies do either.
