According to our earbuds expert
Active noise canceling muffles distracting ambient and white noise.
Thanks to the ear hooks, the earbuds stay firmly put in your ears.
Thanks to the portable charger, you'll always have an extra 3 hours of battery with you.
There may be a delay between the image and the sound when you're using the earbuds.
Noise canceling earbuds don't drown out ambient noise as much as noise-canceling headphones.
With the Sony WF-1000X you'll have more mobility and less ambient noise. These Bluetooth earbuds are equipped with active noise canceling. Use this to mute the sound of the wind or a moving train, so your music will sound extra clear. You can easily adjust the level of noise canceling. The in-ear earbuds are equipped with special ear hooks, so they'll stay firmly put in your ears. When the battery's empty, you can easily charge it with the portable charger. After charging, you'll have an additional 3 hours of battery use. The earbuds detect when they're put in or taken out of the charger and will automatically turn on or off accordingly.
Note: always download the app's latest software update to prevent problems and to ensure continued optimal use of the earbuds.5 stars

I've had the earplugs for two weeks now. I must say they cost a lot for what you get. I had been looking for high quality earplugs for some time. During my work I often listen to music, but the wires were often in the way. I like to shut myself off from everything around me every now and then, but sometimes I just need to be aware of what's going on around me. That is why the noise canceling option seemed very interesting to me. I have to say that the option works quite well. Especially in a quiet office. On the road, the ambient sounds are too loud, so the difference between noise canceling on and off is minimal. Conversely, if you are in a quiet office and you are asked something softly, there is a chance that you will not get anything if the noise canceling option is on. The wireless connection with bluetooth, on the other hand, works less well. If anything happens, one of the ears will temporarily fall out. The connection resets itself but it's just annoying. If you occasionally want to listen with 1 earpiece, that is also possible, but it sometimes takes effort to get the second earpiece active later. I sometimes had to restart my phone for that. The sound is sublime, especially if you turn on the option for extra bass with the app. The earphones can also serve as a headset. Unfortunately, that doesn't work well because the other end of the line can't understand you. Sounds like you're standing in a bathroom, I often heard. Because I speak to many customers by phone, this is not convenient for me. Charging in the special box works well. The earphones last quite a long time, but do not last 4 hours. However, there are pros and cons to this device. For the high price, I personally think that there are just too many negatives.

To start with what I use the earphones most for, namely listening to music. I can be brief about that: the sound is sublime. There is a nice clear sound from the ears that makes the songs sound very nice. What also contributes positively is the noise canceling. This filters out some of the disturbing noises, so you can better focus on your music or a podcast. It does let more sound through than previously thought, but you do notice that it has noise canceling. Disturbing noises are filtered out or otherwise noticeably reduced (very nice on the train or in a busy office where I tested them most).
I am also very satisfied with the shape and appearance of the earphones. If you put them in properly, they will stay in place (because of the extra bulge that clamps behind your ear). I also dare to wear them on the train without fear that they will fall out and get broken or lost. The ears are also nicely designed. They may stick out a bit far from your ear but they look sleek and the performance more than fully compensates for that for me.
You get a storage box with the earphones, which is also the charger for the earphones. This is a sturdy metal box where you can easily remove or store the earphones for charging. To use the earphones, you must first remove the left earpiece from the box and it will then connect directly to your phone (or other device). Even before I have both earphones in, a Bluetooth connection has been established and I can start listening to music. This makes use simple and accessible. There is no complaining about the quality of the connection. Very occasionally there is a short interruption, but within a second the connection is stable again. My phone is also continuously connected to my smartwatch (also bluetooth) and this goes very well with the earphones. I often put my phone away on the train and control Spotify with my watch.
Sony has also developed an app that you can install on your phone. In my opinion, this has no added value, only that the app is used to update your earphones (so download that app first and see if there is an update for your earphones). For example, you can set the degree of noise canceling and control music via the app. This can also be done via the earphones themselves or via, for example, the music app that you use. The microphone in the earphones is also a bit disappointing. I recorded myself through the earphones and it cracked a bit I must say, but not so much that it became unintelligible.
All in all, I highly recommend these earphones. The earphones deliver a beautiful sound and are very easy to use and in my opinion are well worth the money.

After a lot of research and having had several wireless in-ears, I bought this one.
These are highly recommended, especially in terms of sound quality and wearing comfort. Very crisp, full and clear sound with an impressive bass for in-ears. The noise canceling works reasonably well, although an over-ear model is always better.
The battery life is something you have to consider, for me this is more than enough, they recharge quite quickly. The big advantage is that you don't have a weird thing in your neck that, for example, the Bose has, which I don't like wearing. You hardly feel this one.
