    I love these earbuds, they are soooo comfy, genuinely the only pair I've had that hasn't hurt my ears they have never fallen out, the bass is amazing, and the noise cancellation and ambient mode is great.

    A good upgrade from the xm4. Although more slippery they are smaller and more comfortable than the past version. Harder to connect than before.

    Same great sound quality as the 4s, but they don't cancel noise as well. The fit is also smaller and they don't stay in place as well. Still a great quality earbud.

    Whether on the bus or walking my dog, these are my favorite noise-cancelling in-ear headphones. I tweaked the EQ easily in the app, and the performance is incredible. Highly reccomend as they offer phenomenal noise cancelling and sound quality - better sound quality than the Bose equivalent in my opinion.

    Superior noise canceling but they stay on even though I put them back in my case. They make receiving phone calls a task because you have to go to your call options and pick phone speaker or headset. I’m using an Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max. The Apple AirPods just sync better with the iPhone. I wanted some quality earbuds. They sound amazing but it’s going to take an update to fix the bugginess.

    Great sounding headphones. Only downside is the ear tips that come with them hurt my ears. I found some others online and the problem was fixed. They sound good but aren't as comfortable as others I've worn. I personally have a mixed ipuon about them. On one hand they sound nice and on the toebt hand they aren't as comfortable as my Jabra elite pro 7s.

    not good for my iphone, they say it’s compatible w apple but thas cap, u gotta download a buggy sony app to see the battery percentage. the earphones themselves r hecka good tho, the noise canceling is so good. it’s very hard to be aware of the earphone percentage and the case percentage since it’s annoying ash to keep on opening the sony app.

      Hi Izaac, We're glad that you like the noise canceling function. Sony takes into consideration all feedback to improve the performance and quality of our products. You can also check the battery percentage even if you're not using the app. When the headset is connected to an iPhone or iPod touch over an HFP (Hands-free Profile) Bluetooth connection, it will show an icon that indicates the remaining battery charge of the headset on the screen of the iPhone or iPod touch. The remaining battery charge of the headset is also displayed on the widget of an iPhone or iPod touch running iOS 11 or later. For more details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the iPhone or iPod touch. Ref: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000781966.html?search=battery

      Hope this helps.

    The WF-1000XM5's function great. Very impressive sound performance and design. I'm so happy Sony made these a bit smaller. The XM4's were too big and bulky and not very comfortable. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because for the price the XM5's should have have had a much higher IPX rating. Very disappointing that Sony decided to abandon that aspect of the premium buds. The earbuds support LDAC which is the codec I use. Make shure your phone supports LDAC
