    Decent feature set, but I don't use any of it. I bought these for sound quality, didn't mean my expectations. Still have yet to find a pair of bids that meet my sound quality expectations.

    Amazing Quality Earbuds, Fitment was not for me

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I want to be fair when reviewing this product. These earbuds are amazing. The quality and features alone stand out among competitors. However, I did have issues with fitment. I tried all of the provided ear tips but the never fit well enough and this is a larger issue for me cause I wanted to use them while working out with as well. I am not a fan of the memory foam type ear tips so I did return them and tried out the Bose which had better fitment but did notice that the Sony buds had better sound quality and loudness.

      Hi Nick,

      Thanks for sharing your 5-star review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you were not satisfied with its fit and design. For optimum fit and comfort, it is recommended to wear the headphones properly. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The most suitable size of the earbud tips for left and right ears may be different. The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app also helps you determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc.

      Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

      Awesome, CROWLEY79! We're glad that you are impressed with the new Sony XM5 wireless earbuds. The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market. Noise reduction algorithms developed with AI machine learning suppress ambient noise and ensure the person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice clearly even in noisy situations. For total convenience, the WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously so, when a call comes in, your headphones can automatically connect to the right one. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these headphones – so you can keep moving to the music. -Craig Sony_US

    For the price ($300.00) I was not overly impressed. The sound was good, but as I expected, the ANC was not great compared to the Sony WH1000XM4 (Over the Ear) headphones that I have. Finally, I returned these because I could just not get a great fit with any of the provided earbuds. Over time, they seemed to slip out of my ear canals. The earbuds never fell off, but the seal was not consistent. I much prefer the fit of my much cheaper PowerBeats Pro that hook over my ears. The Beats do not have ANC, but maybe I don't need that in my earbuds.

      Hi BioTeach23, Thank you for your review of the WF1000XM5. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that the product did not meet your expectations and it had to be returned.
      Regarding the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), it is true that the WF1000XM5, being in-ear earbuds, may not provide the same level of ANC as the over-ear WH1000XM4 headphones. Over-ear headphones generally offer better passive noise isolation due to their design, which can enhance the effectiveness of ANC.
      We understand that fit and comfort are crucial for an enjoyable listening experience. The fit of earbuds can vary significantly from person to person, and it is unfortunate that the provided ear tips did not offer a secure fit for you.

      We value your input and thank you for sharing your feedback. I hope you consider our Sony products in the future.

      Regards,
      Sam Sony_US

      Hi FloridaMan,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the battery life, sound quality, and charging case of the headphones. Your feedback about the Ambient Sound function of the headphones is greatly appreciated.

      For optimum performance, make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). You can also adjust the settings of the Ambient Sound Mode (via the Sony app) depending on your needs. Voice focus: Unwanted noise will be suppressed while announcements or people’s voices are picked up, allowing you to hear them as you listen to music.

      Note: Depending on the ambient conditions and the type/volume of audio playback, ambient sounds may not be heard even when using the Ambient Sound Mode. Do not use the headset in places where it would be dangerous if you are unable to hear ambient sounds, such as on a road with car and bicycle traffic.

      The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market. Noise reduction algorithms developed with AI machine learning suppress ambient noise and ensure the person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice clearly even in noisy situations.
