This is why I stick with Sony
Sony has done it again. This is why I stick with Sony and will continue into to do so. The sound is amazing compared to others in its price range. I immediately noticed a difference when I tried these compared to another very popular sport brand. The app is everything I could ask for and the ability to adjust and customize the controls is perfect. Sony always exceeds where others fall short. The interchangeable ear pieces allow for the best fit possible. Noise cancellation is great, of course you could pay more for top tier noise cancellation, but these are enough. Sony's products always speak for themselves but I thought I'd at least share my thought on these. I am extremely happy with these.
Worst sound quality probably in all of history
I just bought this and I hardly ever return anything, especially not headphones but the sound quality was genuinely atrocious. The headphones themselves are quite small but pretty comfortable, they look good while wearing, but the sound quality is lacking in almost every way. It sounded like a needle piercing every note into my ears. I tried switching the equalizer and it hardly helped at all. They came out with really good headphones for cheaper about a year after these so I recommend the wh-ch720n's instead of the xm-4's. They are much more comfortable, have 1000 times better sound quality, and are more affordable. Please don't waste your money on this.
Dissatisfied with the comfort
The ear wings hurt my ears and the ear tips also get uncomfortable too. I can't get a good seal because the ear tips are not big enough, I wish you guys had bigger sizes of ear tips and maybe foam ear tips. Also I can't use the right earbud individually but it says that you can use both earbuds individually, so I'm guessing my are defective. In conclusion, not comfortable and faulty right bud. I'm very disappointed and I'm going to return them.

Why would you do this.
I got these headphones for Christmas, and I'm extremely disappointed. The sound quality is good. The Battery life is great. The noise cancelling is superb. However, my biggest gripe is also it's biggest weakness. The touch controls. What the hell is that? My 70 dollar Raycons which I bought 3 years ago, have dedicated buttons for volume control and song skipping. I'm in a situation where I cannot access my phone for volume control, so I have to rely on the headphones to adjust the volume quickly. To go from max volume to the lowest with this stupid touch sensor takes about 10 entire seconds. Not only that, but I can't sleep with these due to the sensor. Putting it against anything makes it freakout and start doing random stuff. These are pretty good sounding headphones, but I would never try to use them in public due to how much this touch panel is either unresponsive, slow, or just generally clunky.
An “Active” Noise Cancelling Solution from Sony!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally had a chance to thoroughly test this earbuds in various settings and aspects of my lifestyle. I'm no stranger to Sony's audio products as I first was introduced to their noise canceling audio devices with the WH1000XM2s. Those were quickly replaced with the XM3s and then this week to the XM4s. As much as I love headphones, I find them limiting in use since sometimes you can't always wear headphones. Thankfully Sony answered the call to this dilemma with the WF1000XM3s last year! These were a bit cumbersome to securely fit in your ears and not worry about losing them even when just walking! I found the noise canceling on part with the headphones which really blew me away! However I had far to many moments of losing these since they barely sat right in my ears. They were also not moisture resistant which meant a no go for the gym! Thankfully, Sony once again answered the call with the WF-SP800N and I was given an opportunity to test these units at a marginalized cost to my wallet! I found the SF800Ns to be a bit more bass heavy compared to the WFs, however you were able to remedy that issue with the equalizer on most devices! I thoroughly enjoyed the various options Sony provided to secure these in your ears and not once did I experience potential dread at having lost or misplaced one or even both earbuds during active moments! They also had no issues of becoming wet during intense workouts at the local crossfit gym which is also reassuring! Sadly I found the active noise canceling a bit too lacking when compared to the WFs and attempts to fine tune it amounted to nothing. I also heard complaints from clients during phone calls that I sounded muffled when using the microphone on these earbuds. I think the SP800N have a place in the Sony line up of noise canceling devices however what one gains in water/sweat resistance becomes muddled with the mediocre noise canceling and muddled soundstage of the earbuds. However, it is a learning process for Sony, much like other brands, and I'm sure they will release a new revision next year that will answer all the shortcomings of this model!
Great Sound!
Bought these a few weeks ago to replace my old Apple AirPods that no longer held a charge. 1st it took me a while to get used to the size of these compared to the AirPods but the "hook" that "grabs" your ear to keep them in place works amazing (you have to play with the different ear plugs to find the perfect fit). After a while I got used to the fit and great for my workouts. They sound amazing & the noise cancelling works great as well. Great battery life. I was also surprised how much customization there is with the downloadable app. I highly recommend these.
Noise canceling at it best Sony WF-SP800N
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Sony WF-SP800N are high quality, noise canceling wireless headphones with Alexa built-in and Google Assistant. Also provide extra bass and 360 reality audio. In practice, I found the headphones to be easy to use and to provide very good sound. Noise cancellation seemed very good. The overall sound seemed more immersive possibly due to the 360 audio. I recommend these headphones for anyone looking for high quality noise canceling headphones with a slightly more immersive sound. Very comfortable to wear. They come with four sizes of ear pieces to get the fit just right. A single charge lasts a very long time and the charging/holding box is both convenient and protective. The touch controls work perfectly for me and they let you choose the type of controls you like to have accesible with your fingers without having to reach for your phone. My favorite features are secure fit, water resistance, excellent noise cancellation, great audio performance.
A real winner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found these headphones were a real winner when it came to connecting with my Phone which are used daily for work at home as well as gym time on my runs. I currently on a Samsung phone and had no problem immediately connecting these via Bluetooth. The sound quality is really amazing. These block out any background noise and amplify what the other person is saying on the phone call. I also enjoy listening to music with these when I am doing my workouts, they never fall or slip from my ear and I am confident in running with them. I have not had any issues with them disconnecting from my device But I do however wish that the batteries lasted longer. I typically have to charge them every 2 days for a full work day and 2 gym sessions worth a battery. I really like these headphones and definitely recommend them to anybody looking for something that transitions from work to workout.
