Great Earbuds!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first Sony earbuds were the WF1000XM3...then I upgraded to the WF1000XM4...now I've upgraded again to the WF1000XM5. So, if you see a pattern, then you're correct - these are really great overall earbuds. If you have the budget and are looking for one of the best earbuds, then I highly recommend giving these a try.

Posted .Thanks for your review, GloriaL.
It's great to hear that the sound quality is appreciated! The WF-1000XM5 is known for its exceptional audio performance, which enhances the listening experience.
For the issues with connectivity and navigating the Sound Connect app. This situation can prevent them from easily switching to a paired device. In such cases, it is often recommended to adjust the Bluetooth settings on the device or manually switch connections through the device’s Bluetooth settings menu.
Additionally, ensuring that the Sound Connect app is updated to the latest version can help resolve functionality issues. It's advisable to check for updates and, if required, initialize the headphones after the update.
If persistent issues occur, switching the connection from LE Audio to Classic Audio mode in the Sound Connect app may resolve some of the problems experienced with call connectivity or app linking.
If these steps do not improve the situation, further troubleshooting or contacting customer support may be necessary.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is absolutely fantastic. I ride a motorcycle, ans these are a daily use for me because of the ANC that Sony uses, and it blocks out almost ALL outside sound. I highly reccomend this.

We're glad that you like the noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you were not satisfied with the sound quality. For optimum performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). Additionally, the app's equalizer function allows you to tailor-fit the sound quality depending on your needs.
Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.
