After 2 years mine simply stopped working, very short life in my opinion for a high end product

The Sony WF-1000XM4 are very good for commute and travel. These comfortable and lightweight in-ears have an ANC system that does a decent job of reducing the low rumbles of bus or plane engines. Thanks to their small size, you can easily fit them into most pockets or bags without a problem.
