    The sound quality is excellent, but the design leaves something to be desired. For the price, it could be more elaborate and less ugly.

      Thanks for the perfect rating, Mountainbiker86! We're stoked to hear you are impressed with the new Sony XM5 Wireless earbuds. The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market.

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! -Craig Sony_US

    The sound is fantastic and the app is easy to use. However, I had to return them because they were constantly connecting to my phone even when in the case with the lid closed. Very frustrating.

      Hi Derick,

      We're glad that you like the sound quality and dedicated app (Sony Headphones Connect) of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you had connectivity issue with the earbuds. For optimum performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony app). Both earbuds must placed correctly on the charging case. Each headset unit will be set to the correct position in the charging case by the built-in magnet. Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve the issue.

      Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

    Absolutely disgusted by this purchase. Got water damage, less than 3 months old. Sony doesn't offer warranties, nor has the ability to repair it. Best Buy won't help. This is totally broken, and costs over $300 with tax. Sony's recommendation is to "check the yellow pages and find a repair center". Please, do not purchase these earbuds. They aren't good quality and break very easily with no hope of fix. Connectivity isn't that great either. Sound is ok, not as good as Airpods. Such a waste of money.
