I hear great sound!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In a nut shell, there great! Sound is hiw you want it. Battery life is great! I think the only problem for certain people might be the ear buds. Not everyone will like how they fit. But if you get used to them then i think most will like them.

Amazing pure SONY audio performance via LDAC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are amazing always, but especially with LDAC with a hi quality audio source. The transparency, noise cancellation, long wear comfort both exercising and sedentary, and even the sound stage are not as good to me as my airpod pro 2 gen earbuds. But, OMG these are for the music and WOW do they ever deliver! I have SONY IEMs and headphones and these deliver a PURE ROBUST MUSIC experience with a decent DAC and LDAC transmitter. They are very good via AAC and SBC, but once you hear what they can be it is really hard to settle for what lower quality BT forces them to be.

Worth the purchase
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading the review and doing some research , I was waiting for a price drop when I was offered an irresistible offer on Amazon for $229. Seeking a price match, I contacted Best Buy's customer service via chat. The customer service was gracious and pleasant and promptly validated my claim and offered me the product at the same price. After picking up my product and opening to use it, I was horrified to see a used Sony wf-1000xm4 earbuds (along with earwax) in the case. This was a first for me, and understandably, I felt nervous. However, I promptly returned to the store and explained the situation to customer care, who agreed to resolve the matter without any hesitation. I received a replacement product, no questions asked. Having now used the product, I can confidently say that it is worth the price. If you're a music enthusiast, you're in for a treat because the sound quality of these earphones is exceptional. You can hear instruments in a song which you neve heard before! While I would have given a five-star rating, the misadventure and anxiety caused by this purchase deducts a star. Nonetheless, the excellent customer service and the quality of the product ultimately make it a worthwhile investment. I would highly recommend that you open and check the product to save yourself some hassle of running to the store, unless you thrive you anxiety.

Sony WF1000XM5
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I boight these Sony WF1000XM5 True wireless noise cancelling earbuds - black because of the great reviews they had. These are an expensive set of earbuds but figured you get what you paiy for and the reviews bosted great quality. As the reviews state, you do need to figure out which earpads fit the best. For me, the ones attached were too big for my ears, but it does come with 3 other pads for easy adjustments. This device paired easily with my Android Samsung S20 phone, and as well as my Lenovo Carbon X1 and my Dell laptop. The noise reduction could be a little better, however, still playing with the fit in my ear, and that can contribute to that. The battery does last a long time. I was able to take 4 train trips, 3 hours long each, and taking phone calls and MS Teams meeting, and had not charged the set for a week and a half before plugging them in. As for the soind quality, I am on the fence. The sound works best when listening to NetFlix movies, and when listening to music on Spotify, the sound doesnt appear as good, but could be the playlists I have choosen. Telephone calls are clear and the person on the end staes they can hear me loud and clear ( except for spotty reception areas. Would I buy these again, yes,!! I have only had them maybe 3 weeks, and clearly need to read the manual to figure out all the functions this device can offer.

Great Noise cancelling buds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for the noise cancelling feature. I was going to be on a long flight and wanted to drown out the background noise. They worked tremendously for this purpose, my wife would say too well. The reason for missing a star is the voice to talk feature has its flaws if I cleared my throat it would react as if I was talking. Also when ear buds are in case my phone app would not recognize them so could not tell charge level until I took them out of the case.

Best Ear Buds Yet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality from such a compact product. At first i was unsure about wireless ear buds. However after the first use, im glad i made the investment. I use these for XC mountain bike training and they feel super secure even after multiple hours of strenuous riding. The sound is crisp and clear and the option for ambient sound is really neat. You can literally talk and have a conversation without removing the buds and then when done switch back to true noise cancelling and continue jamming out.
