Sony WF-1000X Truly Wireless In-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones - Gold, with Alexa built-in

So I just got these Sony Wireless Earbuds a few hours ago.First I ordered these on Amazon Warehouse expecting a used pair. What arrived was a brand new sealed box. Amazing at nearly 100 pound off the retail price at a famous retail outlet. Very pleased with this.I was a bit spectical at first having read some of the negative reviews. However on first testing I paired them up with my Samsung A5 and listened to the sound. Wow, it is so balanced with a good dashing of bass, treble and vocal midrange. Soundstaging is nice with a good seperation of instruments. I own 3 sets of bluetooth headphones and these sound the best.I went for a twenty minute walk and there was no drop out or loss of signal. I have a smaller set of bluetooth earbuds and these can't be used outside as they constantly drop.Timing of the music was tremoundes. I think all the negative reviews are based on the source and hardware. A good android or iphone is most likely a must.I haven't tested the battery life yet. As for the noise cancelling I am not sure what to make of it.Verdict... Sound - Excellent. I am enjoying all my music.Noise Cancelling - Not sure what it doesBattery Life - If I get 3 hours I'd be happyWorth it - Yes for the price I paidLastly the battery case - Apparently get two more chargesWill also also update firmware soon once there fully charged using the Sony AppBtw. Don't bother with the equaliser on the app it's a waste of time* Update. Now had these for almost a week. I finding the noise cancelling annoying. It doesn't seem to do anything except cause the dreaded drop outs so I switch it off either using the app or pressing the left earbud.Battery Life - is indeed the advertised 3 hours and the case is great.No drop outs or loss of connection with the earbuds on sound priority on using the app and noise cancelling switched off.Sound seems to getting better as burn in takes place. I am lost in a beautiful textured musical landscape. Haven't heard any earbuds wired or wireless with such amazing clarity and depth like these Sonys.Just want to add one more thing. These are wireless earbuds so have limited battery capacity. If you want several hours of battery go and buy those with a wire like Beats or Jaybirds. They are all limited due to size and design. For me personally 3 hours is more than enough. But for sound alone these are fantastic. That's matters most to me. Thank you and I hope you find your perfect earbuds.So my final update. I just got some comply Audio Pro tips with Smartcore Technology. 3 pairs for a tenner on Amazon and they are just perfect. More bass, very very comfortable. Invest in Comply tips there worth it.

Summary:These are ambitious headphones; combining truly wireless, active noise cancellation and a tiny form-factor. Ultimately they are flawed, bordering on unusable. However given the steady but significant improvements Sony have made to their other headphones (e.g. WH-1000XM range) it would be worth keeping an eye on future generations.The good:- sound quality is good compared to all other types of headphone, but excellent for truly wireless (better than Apple and Bose)- buds are very comfortable, almost imperceptible once they’re in- passive noise cancelling is good, the buds block out most surrounding noise at moderate listening volumes- buds are very light and stable in your ear, never felt that they would fall out even when trying to shake them out- charging case is handy for keeping them safe, stores them securely and keeps them chargedThe bad:- The connection between the buds is appalling. It was reasonably stable when stationary, but any movement (walking, bus, train) and the right (slave) bud repeatedly cuts out. At times they lost their connection entirely, the right bud turned itself off and had to be manually restarted- battery life is advertised at 3hrs which is already short compared with competitors’ buds, but rarely did it get past 2.5hrs. This was particularly noticeable when using AAC connection with iOS (required to make the most of the sound quality they are capable of producing)- active noise cancelling is no where near as effective as other (celebrated) Sony ANC products. In most situations I couldn’t tell the difference with ANC off or on. However passive noise cancelling is more than sufficient with appropriately-sized buds fitted- no quick charge, meaning the case takes three hours to full capacity. Given that Sony sre including USB-C on their other wireless headphones this feels like a missed opportunityConclusion:Do not buy! You will definitely be better off with current Bose or B&O equivalents, but might be worth avoiding truly wireless altogether until manufacturers are able to address some fundamental concerns around connection quality, sound quality and battery life

Ya tenia un altavoz Sony y gratamente me sorprendio que se puede tener aun mejor sonido con estos auriculares, calida en el diseño y en los acabados en resumen una pequeña obra de arte. Los famosos cortes de sonido con la ultima actulización y prioridad sonido casi desaparecieron y son muy ocasionales.

Magnifique écouteurs légers, pas trop gros, une qualité de son juste excellente je suis vraiment sous le charme des sony.j'ai les écouteurs de beoplay E8 et bose la version SoundSport Free et la version sony wf 1000 X est au dessus de bose et de beoplay une clarté chez sony je compte même vendre les bose .Pas de problèmes de déconnexion je suis sous la dernière version de sony, une légère latence sur youtube, en passant par safari plus de latence.Marche parfaitement sur netflix et via mon mac,ipad,iphone apple TVPetite déconnexion par moment en mode réduction de bruit, à savoir quel masque légèrement les voitures moins bien que le QC 35 ou QC20 .je recommande pour le prix 92 euros vraiment très bonMerci amazon

Los compré para utilizarlos en la calle, andando o haciendo ejercicio. Llevaba tiempo utilizando otros auriculares bluetooth pero lo que me ocurría es que el ruido de los coches y el de la ciudad en general provocaban que subiera el volumen y terminara con la música muy alta tratando de encubrir el ruido. Tengo unos auriculares de diadema Sony WI-1000X que son espectaculares en calidad de sonido y cancelación de ruido pero no son adecuados para hacer ejercicio por lo que me decidí a comprar estos.El resultado es el esperado, es decir muy bueno. La calidad de sonido es la esperada, todas las frecuencias en su sitio, graves definidos, medios claros y agudos brillantes; sin mezclarse. La cancelación de ruido es también muy buena. Sin llegar a la de los WI-1000X de diadema pero suficiente para disminuir el ruido y poder escuchar la música con un volumen adecuado a pesar del ruido de los coches. Para los que no lo hayáis probado es como estar detrás de una ventana de doble cristal, es decir, escuchas algo el ruido urbano pero atenuado.Respecto a la conectividad, hay muchas críticas publicadas al respecto sobre la pérdidas frecuentes pero mi experiencia es bastante buena, por lo menos con el último firmware (4.0.2). Cuando voy por la calle el móvil (o el reproductor) lo debes de llevar en el lado izquierdo pues el receptor es el auricular izquierdo. Lo mismo ocurre con otras muchas marcas, salvo aquellas en que los dos auriculares son receptores. Utilizo el codec AAC (primando la calidad de sonido frente a la conectividad) y apenas sufro algún que otro corte pero ya digo que no más que otros auriculares que he tenido.Respecto a la batería, con una carga los auriculares funcionan de media 2,5 horas. Se cargan en la propia caja que también tiene una batería que les proporciona un par de cargas. Tuve unos Arbily que llegaban hasta 4 horas seguidas y la caja daba para cuatro cargas. Aún así, para mí es suficiente, pues los uso generalmente haciendo ejercicio y con hora u hora y media me resultan adecuados.Sobre la construcción, se ven robustos, con buen aspecto. Cada auricular tiene un botón pulsador pero no son táctiles lo cual, después de mi experiencia, lo agradezco pues los táctiles se activan con facilidad solo con rozarlos, incluso cuando los tienes en la mano sin ponértelos. Ojo, no son a prueba de agua o sudor excesivo, para eso hay otros modelos.En definitiva, son muy recomendables.

Le cose sono due, o la gente non sa come usare questi fantastici auricolari wireless o il dispositivo che usano per l'ascolto, oppure è incappata in qualche lotto difettoso. Tutte queste recensioni negative non hanno motivo di esistere.Li uso da una settimana quotidianamente ormai. e l'audio non mi è mai saltato in ore di ascolto finora. Sono care ma valgono tutti i soldi spesi.Pro:-Sono leggerissime e compatte, dotazione con tanti tappi auricolari di dimensione diverse e tipologia, da cambiare a piacimento.-Una volta fissate al padiglione, e adeguatamente premute all'interno del canale uditivo, difficilmente scivoleranno via.-Custodia ricaricante elegante, compatta, solida e facile da usare. Connessione via bluetooth veloce, autonomia dichiarata realistica fra 2,5 e 3 ore di ascolto.-Qualità sonora, direi bene equilibrata, cosi come hanno confermato svariate recensioni in giro per internet. IO le uso per hard rock- metal e sono soddisfatto.Contro:-Cancellazione rumore, non esaltante, ad occhio e croce riduce di un 20% i rumori intorno a voi, ma meglio di niente. Ricordiamoci che per ovvi motivi, di dimensione un paio di auricolari non potranno mai isolare come un paio di cuffie circumaurali.Oggi è uscito il nuovo firmware, aggiornabile tramite la applicazione su Android/iOS Sony Headphone Connect, che va a migliorare la connessione, ma devo ancora testare gli eventuali miglioramenti. Io mi ritengo molto soddisfatto, ed ho imparato che delle recensioni Amazon, c'è sempre da fidarsi a metà.

Super sound und extrem praktisch. Auch nach längerem Tragen sind die 2 in-Ear-Hörer noch sehr angenehm im Ohr.Der Klang ist meiner Meinung nach extrem gut mit tiefen Bässen und guten Höhen. Man kann kaum glauben, daß so kleine Teile so gut klingen können. Ladebox ist optisch und haptisch sehr ansprechend gemacht - man drückt die beiden Teile leicht in die Schalen und schließt den Deckel. Batterieladen über USB. Verbindung zum iPod touch ging reibungslos - nur die Verbindung zum rechten Teil hat etwas gedauert.Dies ist mein erster Blutooth In Ear Hörer, der passt und gut klingt. Batterie könnte etwas länger halten.Praktisch ist der kleine Taster am rechten Hörer, mit dem das Lied angehalten wird, und dann auch wieder weiterspielt.Am linken Hörer schaltet der Taster 3 Stufen: Noise-Reduction, Ambient (etwas weniger reduction) und aus.Die Noise Reduction ist etwas dünn - da die Ohrstöpsel aber extrem dicht sind, hört man von der Umgebung so gut wie nichts.Ab und zu schaltet der rechte Hörer ganz kurz ab - ist aber weiter kein Problem.Das einzige, was zum perfekten Hörer fehlt ist etwas mehr Music-player Kontrolle, Pause, next song, Lautstärke.Ansonsten ein Super Teil zum Kabellosen Hören mit fantastischem Sound.
