Nice Upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the XM5's after my XM4's stopped working properly. I feel that the XM5's are a strong upgrade over the previous version. The only thing i am not a fan of are the ear tips. I went ahead and purchased a pair of silicone tips as they provide better bass.

Sony Earbuds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is great. Connecting to different devices simultaneously can be tricky. They start hurting my ears when I wear it for an extended time. Fitting is not that great for my ears. It’s snug but fall out every now and then.

Posted .Hi LindaB,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the WF-1000XM5 earbuds. We are pleased to learn that you think the sound quality is great!
We are sorry to hear that you are running into issues with simultaneous device connection and that you are experiencing discomfort and fit issues when wearing them for a long time.
We highly recommend trying the different earbud tip sizes that came in the box. The WF-1000XM5 includes various sizes of the Noise Isolation Earbud Tips designed to help you find the most comfortable and secure seal for your ear, which can also greatly improve the noise canceling performance.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has long been a favorite brand for me when it comes to audio. I previously bought the WF1000 XM4 and loved them. I lost them somehow, so I bought the newest version as a replacement. I've absolutely loved them. They are very easy to use with the app. The sound is just incredible. When I have them on in loud areas, they completely block out the ambient noise, leaving just my music. Thoroughly enjoyable.
