    Very nice product, you can feel the quality. Also great specs like the noise cancellation for true wireless earbuds. Ive had a couple different wireless earbuds from Samsung, google and apple but this are the best ones I've tried so far.

    I'm on my second pair of these since I used the others so much the battery started to give out. They are the best wireless earbuds I've used and I've used quite a few different ones. I love that they can connect to two devices at once and seemlessly switch back and forth.

      Thank you for sharing this incredible review, Seeman245!

      We are absolutely thrilled and honored to hear that the WF-1000XM5 earbuds are the best wireless earbuds you have used, and that you loved your previous pair enough to purchase them again when the battery eventually gave out! That kind of loyalty is the highest compliment we can receive.

      We are especially glad that you are benefiting from the multipoint connection feature, which allows you to seamlessly switch between two connected devices—a capability we prioritized for maximizing convenience.

      Thank you again for your strong endorsement and for consistently choosing Sony!

      Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team sony-global

    Husband is obsessed with these headphones and they sound amazing. He loves the touch controls, wireless charging, and depth of sound and after losing a pair, we had to replace them because they are that good. Worth the money.

    Previously had the XM4 earbuds and loved them, although they were a bit bulky. I wasn't sure how they could be better, but the XM5 earbuds are vastly impoved for sound, call clarity and noise cancelling. I used these on a work call in my running diesel and another at a McDonald's with talking and loud music in the background and none of the noise was noticable by others on the calls.

    $300 for this?

    I'm pretty disappointed in this purchase. I paid $300 for these earbuds and they constantly have issues. The microphone will randomly stop working or will sound really muffled. The earbud tips fell apart after a couple months. The software to control the earbuds has ads when you open it. The "customizable" touch sensors are not truly customizable. Jabra and SkullCandy do a far better job with their software. The ANC is really good and the overall sound is great but not worth the price. Bottom line: Save you money and get something cheaper.
