What customers say about "Key Specs"
Sony WF-1000X Truly Wireless In-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black
- Great pair of earbuds; they sound amazing and fit securely, noise cancellation is impressive, comparable to the qc35's
- The sound is amazing, and clearly these are the best in ear headphones I have ever owned (I have owned a lot).
- Sound seems to getting better as burn in takes place. I am lost in a beautiful textured musical landscape.
- I was sceptical of buying these given the many reviews around poor connection, dropouts and other sound issues.
- Sound quality is good compared to all other types of headphone, but excellent for truly wireless (better than Apple and Bose)

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Sony WF-1000X Truly Wireless In-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black
- This combined with the fact that they are super comfortable, as soon as you find the right ear-tip size, and that they look awesome, make me want to wear them all day.
- They cancel most (if not all) external noise and the quality is surprisingly really good for their size and what they do.
- Hmm...i love the size and way they generally stay in your ears.
- Huge charging case. Come on Sony, people complaint about apple’s airpod size and you managed to triple it.
- Felt fragile. It's a matter time before the overly sized charging case will break

What customers say about "Features"
Sony WF-1000X Truly Wireless In-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black
- If you have a good phone, the connection is rock solid. That is when I connect to my girlfriends iPhone 7, the connection is rock solid.
- No drop outs or loss of connection with the earbuds on sound priority on using the app and noise cancelling switched off.
- The noise cancellation is also fantastic (not as good as their over-ears so don't expect the same level)
- 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.
- Right ear piece constantly loses connection to the left.

What customers say about "Power"
Sony WF-1000X Truly Wireless In-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black
- Battery life while quite short is a non issue as you just pop them in the case and they charge back up When not in use, perfect for commutes to work.
- Battery life matches the 3 hours stated.
- Battery Life - is indeed the advertised 3 hours and the case is great.
- No battery indicator on the battery box. Annoying when you don't know if you should charge it, why should I bother to keep track. 3 hours to charge battery box!
- The battery life is terrible, really bad. If I put the headphones in and it says 'battery level, medium' I know they aren't going to last my hour workout.
