    Battery and sound outstanding, it like they never die. I use mine mostly in the shop. The ambient mode works great. All i have to do is talk. Music stops plaing. So I can have a basic conversation. With out having to get my phone out and manualy turn the music off.

    Perfect for what i needed. Fits well in my ear without needing comply tips, and has great sound and mic quality while taking calls on the go. The noise cancellation still isnt as good as Bose (IMO) but it gets the job done, especially is on busy and windy streets.

    Amazing sound quality, great features built in like head nods and finger taps, and excellent battery life. If these are even $10 off, you should go for it. However, if you are looking for something even more sonically accurate, then you better pony up the dough for professional IEM’s.

      Hi LanceL,

      Thank you for your feedback regarding the WF-1000XM5. We are glad to hear you are enjoying the sound quality, but we certainly understand how frustrating it is when the noise canceling doesn't stay active. This behavior is often linked to settings designed to adapt to your environment, and we would like to help you resolve this so you can enjoy uninterrupted noise cancellation.

      To address this, please start by opening the Sony Sound Connect app and turning off the Adaptive Sound Control feature. This setting automatically adjusts your noise canceling based on your movement or location, which is likely what is causing the mode to switch without your manual input. If adjusting that setting does not resolve the behavior, please follow these troubleshooting steps in order:

      1. Reset the headset to clear temporary internal errors by following the instructions here: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783924.html

      2. Perform a full factory reset. This will restore the settings to their original state and delete any software glitch that may be affecting the noise cancellation stability: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html

      3. If after these troubleshooting steps the issue persists, our best recommendation is to contact our technical support team directly through the following link so we can look into further options for you: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

      Thank you for considering Sony!

      Hi Pennsylvania, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with the Sony WF1000XM5. While we're glad you like the improved sound clarity and comfortable fit of these earbuds, we regret to hear that they didn't fit securely in your ear, and it had to be returned.

If you have any specific suggestions or features you'd like to see, feel free to share them with us. Your insights are important to us as we work to meet and exceed your expectations.The WF1000XM5 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. I hope you consider our Sony products in the future. Thank you for sharing your feedback. -Sam Sony_US

    Before these, I had the WF XM4 pair and those were my favorite headphones for a while. I went through two pair of those though because I would over charge the battery and in turn the charge diminished. Optimistic, I decide to try these pair because they were newer. They’re a lot lighter than the xm4 and the sound quality seems just as good but not better. The ANC also seems not a strong as the previous generation. I try not to over charge these as well, but in prime condition, the previous generation seem to last longer. Over theyre a pretty decent pair of earbuds. I might have an attachment to the previous generation because they were so good and I might enjoy these better if I don’t try to compare it to the previous ones.

    Excellent sound quality even from devices that aren't LDAC compatible. Haven't heard a better set of Bluetooth earbuds. Fit is snug and secure for the most part. Noise cancelling for both listening and during calls is excellent. Haven't had any issues with connectivity on LDAC even in a crowded gym. Highly recommend.

    These are really comfortable earbuds and do a wonderful job in terms of sound quality for wireless headphones. The active noise canceling is impressive and the device free controls are pretty easy to use too. While they still don't hold a candle to wired options, these are a good option for on the go listening.
