Dude, I have an update! Since the earbuds that come with these earphones are so bad and they never fit… I cut the insides of a Sony earbud I would never use (SS). Then I put them on Sony earphones. And then (!) I just put the earbuds from my Sennheiser to the Sony. They fit securely. Previously they were too big. Now earbuds are very comfortable in my ears too, but this is not the news… It sounds phenomenal! I mean, soo goood! I have bass which can only be described as drummers playing on top of my head. Eat your heart out Sennheiser. Oh, I forgot to tell you about the cost. Zero. 😄
Sounds is good. But hardware is sucks!nevert buy again sony earphone…my WF 1000xm3 have high pitch noise is left earbuds. Even i clean the na microphone still the noise is persist! airpod is lotbetter..
