    I loved the xm4 and was looking forward to upgrading to the xm5's. Unfortunately, I am on my third pair of earbuds due to the charging case malfunctioning and stops charging. It's been covered under the one-year warranty, but I was hoping it would have been fixed by the second pair. Overall, I love the earbuds. I think the Sony sound quality is unmatched. That's why I'm still here dealing with this on the third pair. It's annoying but not enough for me to want to switch to a lower quality sound system and sound experience. Also hoping third time is the charm.

    Sounds is great, noise canceling is superb. Software you download is intuitive and really adds to the overall experience. Only slight knock is controlling volume when you on LD y have 1 earbud in. Since left is volume down and right is up, when you only ise 1 you can only go in that direction.

    Best earbuds to replace my WF-1000XM3 and those earbuds still competes with today's current market. Its not as good as apple in terms of connecting quickly to its paired device, but the quality and noise cancelation leaves airpods behind.

    [Employee of bestbuy] My favorite earphones. Been using the 1000s since third gen and these don’t disappoint Noise cancellation feels a lot more isolated and the music is crisp and clear. I use them for the gym and everyday activities. They have not fallen out once.

    Good but the OEM ear tips don’t seal out noise. I had to purchase replacement tips that, while still not perfect, we’re much improved. Great audio but the Bose QuietComfort earbuds are vastly superior when it comes to eliminating outside noise.

      Hi SaraR,

      We appreciate your honest feedback on the size. While we've worked to make the XM5's more compact than previous models, we understand that "bulky" can be subjective and vary with individual ear sizes. It's great to know that despite this, you still love them overall!

      Thank you for your 5-star review! We're delighted you love them overall. Thanks for choosing Sony!
