This.
When in switched from the silicone to the foam tops that were included with the earbuds, it mad a night/day difference to the seal on my ears and the sound quality.
Try out the foam tips!
Are you sure you have the right tips for your ears, i.e., they fit snugly?
I compared mine to Westone UM-2 IEMs, and while they aren't quite on that level, they do in fact sound pretty good.
Ive been using it for a few days now and i am really loving it. The sound is just the right balance out of the box. Transparency mode it awesome, and anc mode is awesome. Im told my voice is very clear on calls from a quiet environment, not sure how a noisy or windy street will fair though.
instead of using a tip that tries to fit into the small ear canal, i used the biggest one they offer so that there is more friction with the outer part of the ear, and it fits very very well. I was dissapointed at first because the smaller ones that i try to fit into the ear canal wasnt staying, but once i changed the eay i place it in my ear, its just great.
2 things that i dont like. Becuase of the shape and size of these earbuds, they catch wind like crazy. So even with anc on, i hear and feel the wind very clearly cause it just catches it all.
the other thing is the app. It is completely broken on latest ios. Other than getting it to connect via BT, i cant change any of the setting or update the firmware. But luckily it seems good as it is out of the box.

Wh-1000xm3 is the most popular and most people would reccomend that over the competition.
Just ordered some for $159
I looked through the thread and saw these foam tips posted in August

Thanks I hopped on the 900s for $130. My wife does not travel enough to justify $3-400 and these will be a good Xmas present.
I have had the 950N1s for a couple years now and quite like them. Was my first trip into noise cancelling and honestly don't know how I lived without it before.
I have over 100 tips, the seal is good. The sound quality sounds too metallic and whatever EQ I use on the sony app the sound does not improve is just different sounding mess.
Is quite unfair to compare to any of my other earphones as they are way way way more expensive than the 1000xm3 but still.... The focus on these are features leaving aside the audio quality.
Me.
Stays on my ear. I don't sweat on my ears so not having ip rating isn't a concern for me.
i have. See my tip above.
i do pull ups and dips, and sprinting, not jogging. And they stayed on and didnt fly off. Now if i sprint long distance then i dunno how long it will stay on, but it hasnt fallen off yet.
i dont think there will be a bf sale. Lucky for me i bought mine new off ebay, when i got all these promos. Ended up paying 190 total, and also got back $19 in ebay buck.
Thanks y'all.
I found it for 200 w/ taxes new+shipped on Ebay so went ahead and made the plunge. I don't think it'll be less than that even if a black friday deal shows up...
I'll look into the tips after trying them out without first.
Hell yes!! You can finally change the volume on the earbuds themselves!!!
o snap. But ive come to really like toggling between transparency mode and ANC mode.
sucks that there's not a way to also have separate swipe up/down action. having to choose one single action for the buttons is kinda lame
Also shows the battery level of the case itself which is great addition.
Downloading the update now!

Just got these. Pretty nice.
They sure gave a lot of tips. I guess I'll cycle through them and see which feels best...?

im looking at ANC headphones for my commute and trip to Japan next year. Wh-1000xm3 is on sale for 280 (there was a amazon warehouse deal to get them to 191 yesterday). The other big one is the Bose QC 35 II. Reviews say they're more comfortable but dont have as good sound and ANC.
Really curious how the ANC is for these buds in comparison
Prolly shouldnt get these for gym purposes. There are better alternatives like powerbeats pro.
these dont have water resist rating, but my assumption is that sony just want to pay for the certification. It holds up fine doing workouts for me on a more casual level.
I have the WH-1000XM3 and the ANC is fantastic, it blocks almost all noises. I got them for my business trip (it was around 8-10 hours on a plane), since I never sleep well due to the noise and the changes, and I concerned out mid flight.
I find them pretty comfortable, only issue that I could see is that your ears are going to sweat with them in hotter days, but it isn't a bother to me at all. If you can, try them out to see if they're comfy enough for you, but getting them for $191 is almost a steal.
Yeah I got them "like new" via amazon, should arrive tomorrow, I'm excited. Also ordered the qc35 II from best buy to test side by side lol. I hear the qc are more comfortable and since i wear glasses comfort is a big factor for me what with a 15 hr flight ahead of me.
Can you guys recommend any? So many different sizes and I don't know what wilk and won't work.
Not exactly what you want but my issue was fit and weight conspiring to make them fall out. No amount of fiddling with the dozens of tips I have worked- so I tried to copy the "wing " design from my bose soundsports which are solid as a rock (although much lighter) and I had a really good experience with these:

However that means I have to remove them every time to charge and I'm probably gonna sell them because it's not been worth the various hassles from charging to pairing to controls and ergonomics. Great sound and noise cancellation but I'm probably gonna stick to over ears.
Btw I got the big Sony Bose qc35ii "clones" for half price from amazon last week. Now that's a freaking bargain.
So it was like tropical storm level winds and these headphones didn't pop out of my ears which was nice....but then I stepped off a large curb and they plopped out lol...
Thanks, I'll check these out. Trying to use them at the gym now is pointless as they fall out every now and then, this would help a lot.
Nice and cheap too. Will test them out for sure. Thanks!
Half tempted to order those just for the wings but don't like the idea of having to take them off each time to charge.
I was able to use on hikes and bike and treadmill fwiw. Sweat is always an issue but they stayed put.
phonciplebone - it's annoying but they pop on and off with ease. It's more annoying to store them somewhere while they're charging - I use the wee mesh bag that comes with them but I keep losing it in my tardis-ass backpack.
Today they are on sale for 198$ on amazon. Just bought myself a pair, should be coming in 2 days.
Anyone have any recommendations for tips for these? The sets it comes with aren't really working for me.
These were what I bought based on recommendations in this thread. Hope it helps.
