Great earbuds that take a little while to get used to. Android app is a mixed bag.
28 of 29 found this helpful These are awesome earbuds. The noise-canceling is top notch. The charging case is about as small as it can be given the shape of the earbuds. I haven't done any measurements, but the battery life seems good. The WF-1000XM4's have a pretty clear sound during all three modes: noise canceling, ambient sound, and off (sound processing off, so they operate like non-noise canceling headphones).
The only downside is that it took a few days for my ears to really get used to them. They were really uncomfortable on day one and got better day by day thereafter. For me, this is down to the foam ear tips. Swapping on rubber eartips from other Sony earbuds alleviates the issue immediately but don't offer the same noise isolation or ability to stay in your ears when moving around, so I just acclimated to the foam. For something I plan to use for years, this isn't a huge deal but if you're buying them and hoping to use them on a long flight, give yourself some time to get used to them beforehand.
I use them with my Samsung Galaxy S21. The signal is strong, even through a few rooms. The WF-1000XM4's require the use of Sony's Headphones app which has some good features but isn't completely seemless. I like the ability to change EQ, assign gestures, and set the behavior of the headphones when they are removed from the case and my ears, but sometimes the audio sources don't swap correctly (ie, between YouTube Music and Twitter). Additionally, the play controls for different apps don't seem to show up in my notifications menu anymore which is annoying.
Overall, the hardware is awesome (if initially a little uncomfortable) but the software experience isn't 100% seemless. It's not a big deal to me, so I'd recommend them to anyone who is a little tech savvy.
