    These headphones are awesome. I had other ones that always started to fall out of my ears all the time and these ones I have never had that problem and the sound quality is really good

    The earbuds performed perfectly. I was able to add them to my phone, tablet, and computer seamlessly. The earbuds had even better noise canceling then the prior ones. The weight and size was a plus as well.

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. Thank you for choosing Sony! ~Earl Sony_US

    These are the best earbuds that I have owned. Very impressed with noise canceling and clarity. I was at the gym and they were pumping music. I got a call and I answered the phone. The earbuds quickly switched to the call and had a quick conversation and then hung up. Noise canceling worked so good the caller never heard the music playing in the gym. Walking on a windy day down a sidewalk and had a conversation on the phone without any trouble. Different style music play well anywhere. Music automatically stops when responding to someone in a conversation is amazing. If you're listening to music the music stops and you can begin to have a conversation. Once the earbuds know you have stopped talking then the music will begin to play. I really like this feature.

    Serious Noise cutting Buds

    Hello is anybody in here? Noise-canceling supreme. These are a premium product for cutting noise. I am a bit disappointed with the sound quality. Even with the settings in the Sony software, they could have better spatial sounding. Don't get me wrong they hit hard but I expect better from Sony Sound. It is there in the LinkBuds S so what happened here? Also, I feel the LinkBuds S are better fitting. You have to play with the ear tips to get a good comfortable fit. Sometimes I feel like they will fall out but that has not happened. No ear fatigue either.
