    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.

    The sound quality is even better than airpods pro love the talk through feature and make sure you play around with the fitting and if you do encounter and weird thing where there is no audio is most likely your driver for Bluetooth or whatever it is not up to date run troubleshooting will automatically do it for you

      Hi Marcus37,

      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.

    Just get an xm4 until the xm6 comes out

    I miss the XM4. The changes in design has made it so that the earbuds never fits quite right in my ear, and I've used multiple tip types. Also, if you only use one ear bud, it doesn't default to noise canceling. You can turn on NC manually or use adaptive control, but even then adaptive controls keeps turning off in the app. Meaning it defaults back to ambient noise. If you drop the case the buds just go flying out, I've almost lost them multiple times. It happened occasionally with the xm4s, but the xm5 magnet is weaker I think. Battery life, connectivity, and sound are great, but the problems I outlined make it a fail in my book.

      Hi Acw00, Thank you for your feedback on the WF-1000XM5. We appreciate your detailed review and are sorry to hear about the issues you've encountered.
      Regarding the fit of the earbuds, we understand that comfort and secure fit are crucial. If you've already tried different sizes and types of ear tips and you continue to experience discomfort, please reach out to our support team for further assistance.

      For the noise-canceling feature, we acknowledge that it should ideally activate automatically when using a single earbud. We will pass on your feedback to our development team.

      The concern about the earbuds falling out of the case is noted. We will look into the magnet strength and case design to ensure the earbuds remain secure during everyday use.

      We're glad to hear that you are satisfied with the battery life, connectivity, and sound quality of these earbuds.

      Thank you for choosing Sony. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our support team through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US.

    While these may lack the bottom end of the XM4, they more than make up for it in being extremely clean and a lot better fitting in my opinion. An excellent choice for those looking to upgrade from the AirPod Pros
