    These are some of the best ear buds I’ve ever used they sound better than a lot of headphones I’ve used, the active noise canceling is really good (just make sure you have the right tips in) and the pass through sounds so good too definitely a game changer, something I’ll be looking for on all future earbuds I purchase

    I had the XM4’s and they were great until the battery worked fine and then abruptly would last for 15-20 minutes. Sooo, as long as these last longer than 18 months, I will be happier. No drastic improvement from the sound quality from the 4s but I am also not an audiophile. With that said, I prefer these over the Apple products, Bose and Jaybirds.

    Sony keeps improving their WF earphones! I had the XM4, and now the XM5, and both are awesome! I use the XM5 for everything, including workingout. They do not fall out and the noise canceling is the best that I've tried! Yes, they are a bit expensive, but it's rather spend good money on good quality.

    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:
