Sony WF-1000XM4 Premium Noise Canceling Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds - Silver (Renewed) | Active Noise Cancellation, Hi-Res Audio, 8H Battery Life | Perfect for Travel, Workouts & Commuting

My main reason for getting these earbuds was for noise cancellation and music. I wanted to be able to cut the lawn and listen to music. I have a John Deere S160 and when the mower deck is on, you can't hear anything over it. Full "ear muff" headsets are uncomfortable to wear in hot weather and make it very difficult to wear a had for sun protection. I have tried other in ear devices, but without noise cancelling, you can't hear the music over the mower.I got these and put some music on, started up the mower and engaged the mower deck and immediately couldn't hear the music. I "tapped" the noise cancelling on and was amazed. I could still hear the deck, but only a little. The music came in loud and clear. I was totally pleased.In addition, the "tap" controls are great an allow me to control noise cancelling and playback with a simple tap of my finger.These are also great to use to talk on the phone. Nice hands free operation without having to turn the speaker on.I have not found earbuds that I consider comfortable, but these come close.The battery life is good. It takes me between 4 and 6 hours to cut the lawn. The battery will last almost the 6 hours and since I stop along the way to take a break, just a few minutes in the charging case insure that they will still be running when I am finished.
