    Headphones were good, but the sounds need more power for the price its at. I returned and went back to my status pro earbuds. Wanted an upgrade but nothings in comparison.

    Will not be total noise cancelling but very good earbud nonetheless. Like the app to set up the pods and control sound settings. Adaptive sound control is great as well and will let ambient noises around you in. When I’m on a moving vehicle and resting my head agains the vehicle frame all noise comes in through the earbuds, think the vibrations disrupts the adaptive sound control

    Literally was hoping these earbuds would be the ones to replace my galaxy buds+. However even though the audio is top notch the biggest issue with the line up remains. Inconsistent battery life where one of the buds has a disproportionately high battery life remaining vs the other. The worst part is its random which one. Honestly sony needs to overhall its software

      Hi Terps90,
      Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the WF1000XM5 earbuds. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the audio quality.
      We understand your concerns regarding the battery life imbalance between the earbuds. We recommend, if is possible, that you disable the noise-canceling or equalizer settings that you might not need while using the earbuds to reduce battery consumption.
