||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As someone who owned the apple air-pods pro 2, and tried both the Bose QC ultras and Technics az100…do not settle for less. These bring the whole package in terms of astonishing sound quality and clear, crisp instrumentals along with a tight base. The ANC quality is fantastic, leaving nothing between you and your music experience. I constantly find myself reaching for these in excitement when I want a concert like experience at any random moment, coffee shops, my workplace, even at home before going to bed. They are that good..

Price is a little high but they’re good.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They were pricey, but they work well. The noise canceling isn’t overly aggressive, which I like. I’ve had some in the past that create way too much pressure in my ears. They are comfortable to wear for long periods. Good sound, balanced. Getting the fit adjusted was a task, but they’re good now.

Sony WF1000XM5 earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been very impressed with my sony wf1000xm5 ear buds. The sound is great with nice fidelity and great bass. They are smaller and more comfortable than the wf1000xm4. The noise canceling has improved slightly as well.

Best Sound Cancelling You Can Find
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased my second pair after the last pair had issues, try all the other brands high end earbuds, Sennheiser, Bose, Apple, Jabra, Shokz, Samsung, and I still came back to the Sony WF1000XM5, reason I could not find anything with better sound-cancelling with the same level of sound quality. These are the best sound cancelling I have ever had the pleasure to use. The only issue with there sound cancelling is the tips. They use foam tips for better sound cancelling, Great Choice but, they are nearly impossible to clean to the level I like. I like sterilize my earbuds and electronics ever once in while, and the tips are not capable of handling any chemicals really. Warm water and a cloth is best. No soap. I got the protection because of the tips but completely worth it for 2 years of protection. If the tips tear or rip, as they do sometimes, so it is covered. I just can bring them in and get them replace. Worth the money for the audio quality and sound quality.

Pretty good
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a big fan of listening to music 99% of the time. So when it comes to earbuds I like to buy something comfy and will last a long while. Before buying these I had the XM4s. I'd say they are pretty much the same, though I enjoyed that the last pare (the XM4) was a bit bigger and would stick in my ear better. These are alright, do the job I'd say. I can't tell the difference between these and the XM4, so whichever pair should be okay. Other than that the noise cancellation is amazing and great to use for workout.

Sony keeps at it
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from the WF-XM4s, WH-XM4s, Link buds and Link buds S, these are really amazing earbuds. They fit like a glove in my ears and they arent obnoxious like the WF-XM4s with them being so giant and having to squeeze the rubber tip to ensure they fit well in your ear. Theyre so lightweight i forget theyre in my ear along with the active passthrough settings you can have on them i can hear everything as clear as day. Really love these earbuds and they have become my daily drivers when connected to my Sony Xperia 1 IV

First time, eveytime.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Go back to that day you first listened to your favorite song or album. This pair of headphones does exactly that. Ive got the over the ear 1000XM4 headphones and they are also fantastic. But the main reason I got these were for one reason. The over the ear headphones hurt my head. Im an artist and can spend 4-16+ hours drawing and my thick hair is being squished when I wear these, or if I want to wear my blue light glasses the XM4 can cause unnecessary pressure on the side of my head. These in the ear headphones are BEAUTIFUL! They can cancel out the noise so well even in a car! The battery life may not be as long compared to the XM4’s battery life, but it’s nice having both so it doesn’t make a difference to me. My only con, they are sensitive to tough to the point it’s annoying. Like if I’m drawing and rest my face on my left hand I’ll accidentally activate a different noise mode, or if use my right hand to move my hair out or the way, I’ll barely touch the right headphone and pause the music. It can get really annoying but you can also customize this in the Sony app and turn most of these features off. Another con, it is weird not knowing how exactly these headphones are supposed to fit in your ear, had to look at the video provided in the description to see how they are in peoples ear. Regardless 5 stars and a must have!

Good for the price.
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a wireless pair of headphones, they did pretty great. Was never able to run down the battery in a full day, even with noise cancelling on. Sound is good for a consumer product, but definitely not groundbreaking.

Given as a gift - Great Feedback!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I gave these to my daughter and daughter-in-law for Christmas this year after purchasing and returning a competitor's brand that they had chosen first. The competitor brand was described as "terrible" and these were chosen. The very first thing I was told was "these are the bomb and the sound is amazing. They are so comfortable." Sounds like a WIN in my book!

Great product by Sony, possible the best currently
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once you find a good and snug fit with the eartips, the noice cancelling features really are visible. I use mine at the gym, and it makes a great job in blocking all noise that would bother me while having a great sound quality. You can clearly hear the basses and distinct instruments with these earphones

Best TWS earpods
