Buds battery uneven
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is great, IMO better than WH1000XM6. Noise cancelling is insane. But just like the 4th gen I fear, one of the buds is already not aligning on battery life (10% difference) and likely going to go out rather soon. For the price, I want it to last at least 2 years....

Posted .Hi Edward,
Thanks for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you're so impressed with the sound quality and noise cancellation of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds, especially since you've used previous generations. It's a key feature that the HD Noise Canceling Processor QN2e works together with the Integrated Processor V2 to deliver our best-ever noise cancellation, which is what gives you that "insane" experience you mentioned.
We're sorry to hear about your concerns regarding the battery life disparity between the two earbuds. We understand your frustration, and we want you to have a product that lasts as long as you expect it to. We would recommend trying a "calibration" of the battery by fully discharging and then recharging the earbuds a few times. If the issue persists, please reach out to our customer support team at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
Thanks for choosing Sony, have a nice day.

$300 for this?
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm pretty disappointed in this purchase. I paid $300 for these earbuds and they constantly have issues. The microphone will randomly stop working or will sound really muffled. The earbud tips fell apart after a couple months. The software to control the earbuds has ads when you open it. The "customizable" touch sensors are not truly customizable. Jabra and SkullCandy do a far better job with their software. The ANC is really good and the overall sound is great but not worth the price. Bottom line: Save you money and get something cheaper.
