Picked up these today. That review is bang on. They're very impressive. The review's main con was no volume control on the earbuds - I don't find it an issue after a couple of hours or use. The noise cancelling is excellent as is sound quality.

Sony shop in Bangkok. They got them in this morning about 10 minutes before I walked in to ask when they expected to get them!

Great town, worth a visit!

Just to follow up a after a bit more use. The sound on these is so good you forget that ANC is off. I have Bose QC 35 over ear as well and while I love them you'd definitely notice if ANC was off.

I'm looking at these but have read that they're not at all sweat proof. Is this the case in your opinion?

Well I don't jog but it's 36 degrees in Bangkok and no issues.

They're probably not suitable for heavy exercise as they might fall out.

It depends on what you want them for. They're fine for commuting, short flights or walking. Battery life is about 3 hours with noise cancelling on. If you're commuting it's not an issue as they'll recharge during the day. They actually recharge quickly. If you need longer than 3 hours at a stretch then they're not for you.

I got these this week after they hit 153 on amazon but having huge trouble finding a good fit with the included tips. Not really getting any that keeps a seal, either too small, too big (keeps popping out!) or just plain uncomfortable.

I've seen those specific ones for them on the comply site but it seems US only, anyone know where to source them this side of the pond?

Figuring out the size to chose it they aren't over here has been a challenge as they need to fit both the headset and the case. From the feedback above I guess the 400 as option as a plan B but I am keen to hear anything else that people experienced.

These ones?

Thomann are great to deal with but the shipping is a killer as it's a flat rate of €15 (free shipping if you spend €200 :pac:)

I'd seen them show up in google shopping but never heard of them so put themin the dodgy bucket.

But the shipping kills them for now (assuming that's a Covid rate).

Unfortunately not, it’s an “all the time” flat rate for anything under €199.
