For a flagship product at this price, I expected a top-notch sound experience, but I was met with huge disappointment. The sound is incredibly tinny and sounds like it's coming from very cheap speakers. When listening to mid-range frequencies, especially male vocals and more prominent drums, there's a strong resonance and an unpleasant buzzing. As someone who is actively involved in music and singing, I heard this distortion and sound clipping immediately. I even had two different colour variants of this model available, and both suffered from the exact same fatal flaw. So, it's not a single faulty unit but apparently a systemic error in the entire series or in the sound processing directly from the manufacturer. In terms of sound, these headphones unfortunately lose out even to ordinary earbuds that cost a few hundred. I returned the goods straight away and absolutely do not recommend this product.
Decent ANC
I'd give it 0 stars if I could
Terrible sound quality
A tinny sound, like the speakers are completely knackered.

Sound quality is better than average
the app is fine
I have their big headphones, but they really can't make earbuds. Returning them 😑
Very poor ANC
Completely uncomfortable in the ear.
Returned them and I'm getting the Technics 100 instead. Much more comfortable in the ear and better sound. ANC not yet tested on public transport.
This model is really below average

Definitely a disappointment for me. I was expecting a big jump compared to the original sony, but it didn't happen sonically. Returned and acquired technics az100.
They play decently
nice packaging
compared to the WF 700 I expected a much better sound
much worse ergonomics compared to the WF 700

bought after years and several models with Jabra headsets, so I think I know what's possible and this just didn't work out for the designers. Good for sitting at the computer, but I'd be afraid to cook in them at home
clear sound
pairing two devices
smooth design
capacity and endurance
ergonomics, in the ears they stick only on the inside and fall out (not a bad size)
ergonomics of the case - the case cannot be fully opened and the headset removed once you have bigger fingers, something wrong with your hand, or just have your phone in the other
ANC and passive is more of a hint

Non-existent ANC (worse than my pre-LinkBuds) - I can hear surrounding passengers clearly on the train even with the feature on
Discharges quite quickly (hard to tell if it was a defective piece, but again significantly worse than previous LinkBuds a few years old)

Sound
Processing
On the other hand, Ambient Sound works great
Ambient noise cancellation doesn't work very well, fortunately I don't really need it
The app could be improved a bit
