    They are amazing headphones and are of amazing quality. However they are not for me. The design with the glossy finish is a big no for me. They remind me of the old galaxy buds. They are slippery and feel like they're about to fall. Whitfield fel

    Best wireless earbuds

    I'm on my second pair of these since I used the others so much the battery started to give out. They are the best wireless earbuds I've used and I've used quite a few different ones. I love that they can connect to two devices at once and seemlessly switch back and forth.

      Thank you for sharing this incredible review, Seeman245!

      We are absolutely thrilled and honored to hear that the WF-1000XM5 earbuds are the best wireless earbuds you have used, and that you loved your previous pair enough to purchase them again when the battery eventually gave out! That kind of loyalty is the highest compliment we can receive.

      We are especially glad that you are benefiting from the multipoint connection feature, which allows you to seamlessly switch between two connected devices—a capability we prioritized for maximizing convenience.

      Thank you again for your strong endorsement and for consistently choosing Sony!

    The sound quality beats anything else. Only gripe is when ANC is on and your running, there is like an echo or thump noise you can hear. Turn off ANC and it stops. The app took some getting used to but works very well.

      Hi ChristopherC,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about the app and noise canceling function is greatly appreciated.

      When using the headset, you may hear vibrations transmitted through your body while walking or running, and you may also hear biological sounds such as heartbeats and breathing sounds. This may occur due to the nature of the product and is not a malfunction. When the noise canceling function or Ambient Sound Mode is turned on, vibrations from walking, running, or shaking of the head may be transmitted through the body, and be heard as rattling or popping noises. This may occur due to the nature of the product and is not a malfunction. You may also find this link helpful:

    i find that the sound quality and fit of the WF1000XM4 are way better. The XM5 sporadically will stop playing on one ear, and then start playing again. This has not been fixed yet with a firmware update. This issue is very brief and only lasts less than 1 second. i also find myself always having to adjust the earbuds in my ear because they feel like they will fall out or the noise cancelation is not working correctly and i have tried different sized tips. Overall i dont like the XM5.

      Hi JovanyT, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We're glad you like the sound quality and fit of the WF1000XM5. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with the audio playback and noise canceling feature of your Sony unit. Please set the earbuds to “Priority on stable connection” using the Headphone Connect app. Disable Speak-to-Chat feature. The Speak-to-Chat mode starts automatically when you talk to someone. The headset pauses or mutes the music being played. It may sound like the sound skips when this occurs, but it is not a malfunction. Please follow this link for more details:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000779959.html?search=skip

      If the noise canceling effects are not sufficient, please follow this link to isolate the issue:

    I had the older version of this kind of wireless / sport Sony headphones, and I was in need of an upgrade. Just getting older and worn out, nothing unexpected and purchased these. So glad I did. It’s almost as if Sony actually listened to consumers who reviewed the older model and this is the byproduct. Very pleased with the upgrade.

      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!
