Android users should buy these.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty much satisfied with these earbuds. I had the Airpods, Bose and these. Out of the bunch, I would pick either the Aipods or Sony. If you have a android phone go with these and obviously an Apple would pair well with the Airpods. Noise canceling is ok. I do work in a loud environment and it would stuggle at times to keep the noise down. The sound from these are the best in my opinion. Sony did a good job on these but noise canceling could be better but its a thumbs up for me

Good sound, but bad physical design
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound quality, but bad design on the housing. It is hard to grab them out of charging box or you can easily drop to ground. All is because the material Sony choose is “slippery”.

Great earbuds with awesome equalizer

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback on the WF-1000XM5, GooberBooger84. We are very glad to hear that you find them to be great and that you are impressed with the overall quality of the sound they produce.
We understand your point about the bass not being as "punchy" as you would have liked. We designed the WF-1000XM5 to deliver a balanced and accurate sound signature across the entire frequency range, aiming for clarity and detail. However, we also know that bass preference is a very personal aspect of listening. If you haven't already, you might find that adjusting the equalizer (EQ) settings within the Sony | Headphones Connect app allows you to customize the sound and boost the bass to your liking.
We truly appreciate your detailed and honest review. Your insights are invaluable as we continue to refine and improve our audio products. Thank you for being a Sony customer.
Best regards,
Gus

WOW
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these earbuds the noise canceling is nearly absolute. I used them in the gym and working in my shop on my truck I literally could not hear anything I was doing in the shop including hammering away steel on steel and people who tried to speak with me until I tapped off the noise canceling. Sound is extremely immersive I love the ability to choose the way you want to listen to music and the way the earbuds adapt to your usage. Definitely a great buy and well worth the money.
