    I love the sound quality but the bass seems to be lacking comps to cheaper quality earbuds. My biggest isssue is the ear tips. They completely fell apart in about a month and a half. Got aftermarket tips afterwards bc I couldn’t fine OEM at the time and they have done the same. Probably going to trade them in for a different pair.

    Very nice sounding earbuds. They come with 4 different sized rubber ear plugs. The app for them is very good. There is sound presets along with an equalizer. Phone calls are clear with no distortion. The noise canceling is decent but could be better in my opinion. Overall sound quality is very good. I highly recommend these earbuds.

    I was a bose guy all day long. That is until I met these Sony earbuds that stole my heart. They fit in my ear nice and comfy. I really like how compact the charging case is. This case offers wireless charging. If you enjoy being alone this will have you feeling as if it’s only you out here in this world lol.

    My first Sony earbuds were the WF1000XM3...then I upgraded to the WF1000XM4...now I've upgraded again to the WF1000XM5. So, if you see a pattern, then you're correct - these are really great overall earbuds. If you have the budget and are looking for one of the best earbuds, then I highly recommend giving these a try.
