    Sound and NC seem largely the same but the change in size and fit are dramatically better for me. I use my XM4s a lot, waited a long time since other reviews said they were the same but worth a shot if you get them on sale. I barely notice they are in and they still have a solid seal. TBD on battery life.

      Hi Mari,
      Thank you so much for the feedback. We're glad to hear you're enjoying the sound quality of your WF-1000XM5 earbuds, but we're really sorry to hear you're having connection issues and that they aren't working as seamlessly as they should with Siri and your notifications. That's definitely not the experience we want for our customers. We also appreciate you letting us know about the issue with them falling out of the case.

      For the connection issues and notification problems, we have a few recommendations that might help:
      1. Try turning Bluetooth off on your phone and then back on. You can also try "forgetting" the WF-1000XM5 in your phone's Bluetooth settings, then re-pairing them.
      2. Make sure your earbuds have the latest software. You can do this through the Sony | Sound Connect app.
      3. A full reset can sometimes clear up persistent issues. You can find instructions for this in the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html

      We know it's frustrating to have these issues, and we appreciate your patience. If further assistance is needed, we suggest you to contact our support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

      We appreciate you giving Sony a chance with this product.
      Sincerely,
      Estefany Sony_US

    Great earbuds - switched from Bose Quiet Comfort and these definitely have better sound quality and noise cancelling. My only issue is the earbud tips - I have had to purchase alternate tips to get some that fit and stay in my ears. The sound quality is excellent and worth the extra effort but the earbud tips cost them a star.

    Can't ask for much more. They are comparable to my wh xm4s (the headphones). I'd say they have less bass but still are in the same league. Ever since I've gotten these, I've used my headphones less just for the incredible comfort. I've never had battery problems (especially with how convenient it is to wirelessly charge them) and I've dropped them on concrete before with no issues.

    Honestly? These are a nice upgrade over the XM4s. The dual connection works almost seamlessly between my S23 Ultra and Tab s8 Ultra. The smaller size sits more comfortable in my ears which has been a pain point for me from the weight of the XM4s. These XM5s have great sound quality, really cool features with Google Assistant as well as nodding your head to answer calls, or shaking your head to decline calls. Don't let the glossy plastic finish fool you, these aren't cheap at all. I've been on the hunt for a good set of daily drivers and I have finally found it.

      That's awesome, Anthony! We're glad that you are impressed with the new Sony XM5 wireless earbuds. The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market. Noise reduction algorithms developed with AI machine learning suppress ambient noise and ensure the person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice clearly even in noisy situations. For total convenience, the WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously so, when a call comes in, your headphones can automatically connect to the right one. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these headphones – so you can keep moving to the music. -Craig Sony_US

    Amazing pair of earbuds, I use them for everything such as just relaxing, or going to the gym, they're super comfortable and don't hurt my ears. Both the noise canceling and the aware mode are extremely effective. The only thing I will complain about is the app is a little annoying and the touch features aren't as versatile as the Apple AirPods as you can only assign certain features on each earbud.

      Hi Juan,

      Thanks for the 4-star review! We're happy to hear that you're loving the clear phone call quality and the amazing improvements we've made in that area. It's a key focus for us to ensure a reliable and clear connection for calls.

      We appreciate you bringing up the connection issue with certain devices, and you're right, that's something that shouldn't be happening. If you continue to experience this, we'd recommend trying a few troubleshooting steps like a simple restart, or checking the "Prioritize Stable Connection" setting in the Sony | Sound Connect app to see if that helps.

    These earbuds really surprised me with the sound quality and bass, coming from the AirPods Pro 1st Gen this is a huge imrpovement in both those aspects. If you’re a basshead defintely consider these earbuds, the only area they fall behind in is noise cancellation, its not the best but not bad either. Overall very solid pair of earbuds so far.

    They work great. High quality sound, excellent battery life, superfast charge, great noise cancelling. The call quality is exactly the same as other brands ive tried (normal, but muffles at times.) as is the 'super advanced better than anyone elses' 360 audio... i couldnt tell the difference. The case if very slippery. I can confirm that they are sweat resistant as i sweat buckets at my job while using them.

    These are by far the best sounding headphones I have ever owned, which they should be for the premium price! The sound is well-balanced, with solid, tight bass.

    Bought these to replace my third pair of broken Airpod Pros. So far love them! Great sound, noise cancelling is great, and they don't fall out. Really like being able to connect to two devices at the same time. Full disclosure, the first pair I opened had some sort of software bug with the audio passthrough but Best Buy swapped them out.

    I’ve been a Sony fan for years, and the WF-1000XM5s just keep proving why. The sound is killer, noise canceling is unreal, and they stay locked in even when I’m mowing or on a flight. Pure comfort, clean audio, and that Sony reliability I count on every time. A little heavier that others and I did upgrade to Comply foam tips.
