              All thrown in the trash when the battery dies and the sound quality will never equal wired. I will never by non wired head and earphones.

                I’m glad they just came out. I had the chance to grab the 1000XM4 on discount. And there’s nothing that I’ve used before when it comes to tws that can match not only the sound quality but the whole user experience and functions they have.

                        Nobody talks about Sony's greed* these Japanese are hungry!!!

                        I am sure that the oneplus buds pro 2 will eat these headphones with potatoes, and they have gamer mode! (low latency) and they don't even reach 180 dollars

                          One things for sure. This will have a hard time selling on the market. Especially if we have earbuds that are design for gaming. Has low latency mode. Gives a surround sound feeling without being limited to some apps or music.

                          Plus, its much more cheaper than the WF-1000XM5.

                                  Compared to the past buds, anc is better in bass range, so is FR more accurate. Compared to bose buds anc, it's kids are lacking, highs are better tho. Comparing sound, there are also no peaks in highs.
                                  Worth to buy.

                                    beware before purchase, it has battery drain fault, which is not recoverable.

                                      I'm all in for eco-friendly packaging, but if it is the same like the XM4: go away. I'm really angry whenever I see the "box" which you can't close after opening without some tape. A simple paper box would have solved the problem, but no, this is more eco-friendly. I seriously hate Sony for this BS. Beside that, I love my XM4s but replaced the tips with conventional silicone ones.
