Great earbuds! not for bass lovers
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony's were my first step into high end, feature rich earbuds. Overall a quality set and the ANC and transparency modes worked well but I returned them because I prefer a stronger sub bass and overall oomph in the lower frequencies. Not ideal for bass lovers. Moved onto JBLs and am happy

Sony earbuds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best noise canceling earbuds on the market. I carry AirPods Pro and the Sony earbuds on a daily basis. I often choose Sony over the AirPods because of sound quality.

Review over Sony earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality was amazing but the fit wasn't as great. The sound quality is worth it but the fit isn't great if you're gunna use it while running or working out. Otherwise, the sound quality is better than the Bose imo

Posted .Hi Giovanni,
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback on the WF-1000XM5. It's fantastic to hear that you're loving the sound quality.
We're genuinely sorry, however, that the fit isn't quite working out for you, especially during activities like running or working out.
To help you get that perfect seal and stability you need for active use, we strongly recommend you experiment with the different sizes of ear tips included in the box. Even a slight change in size can make a huge difference in stability and overall seal.
We hope this suggestion helps you get the secure fit you need!
Thanks for considering Sony and for your feedback.
Warm regards,
Estefany

Same great sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Same great sound quality as the 4s, but they don't cancel noise as well. The fit is also smaller and they don't stay in place as well. Still a great quality earbud.

microphone problems
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Microphone had issues. downloaded the app nothing. I recently had to reset the earbuds and remove all bluetooth devices from my phone and reconnect the earbuds for the mic to work. sound quality is good. the foam tips are nice. with the bugs these have i dont think it’s worth the price point at all. Much cheaper earbuds work better out the box than these.

Great sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Personally I have been used lots of headphones, I love the sound quality and the noise cancelation is almost deafening, I love how I can customize the EQ, but my one issue with this headphone is microphone quality is sub-par. I have many people complain about my microphone during calls, and it forces me to change to speaker mode.

We appreciate your feedback regarding a location-tracking feature.

Left earbud won’t pause when using one earbud
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To me it was good set of earbuds. However where I work I can only use one earbud at a time in case someone needs to talk to me. Instead of using just the right all the time I would use the left but you cannot pause what you are listening with the left earbud and would still play even when you remove it from the ear. I can’t use something if I cant pause what I am listening

Posted .Hi AnnaF,
Thanks for reaching out about the WF-1000XM5 earbuds and your experience using them at work. We understand how important it is to be able to use a single earbud and still have full control, especially for pausing your audio.
You're right, the left earbud on its own can't pause playback. The pause function and the automatic in-ear detection are both tied to the right earbud. So when you take out the left earbud, the audio continues to play, which we know isn't ideal for your situation.
It's a great piece of feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve our products, and customer input like yours is incredibly valuable.
If you’d like to learn more about this, feel free to check out the following link, we put together extra details there that might be helpful: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000781982.html
We know this isn't the solution you were hoping for, but we hope this helps clarify why the earbuds work the way they do.
Thanks for considering Sony products and for your thoughtful input.
Sincerely,
Estefany

Posted .Thank you for your feedback, Cbano42!
We are so pleased to hear that you are enjoying the Excellent sound quality of your WF-1000XM5 earbuds. Delivering that high-fidelity audio experience is our top priority!
We also appreciate you bringing the issue with the right earbud intermittently going blank to our attention. That is certainly not the seamless experience we intend, and having to re-insert it into the charger is frustrating. This is often a temporary issue that can be resolved with a specific troubleshooting step, such as cleaning the charging contacts on both the earbud and the case, or performing a reset of the earbuds.
We would like to help you resolve this permanently. Please reach out to our support team directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones so our specialists can guide you through these quick fixes and ensure both earbuds work reliably for you.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team
