Best wireless earbuds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm on my second pair of these since I used the others so much the battery started to give out. They are the best wireless earbuds I've used and I've used quite a few different ones. I love that they can connect to two devices at once and seemlessly switch back and forth.

Posted .Thank you for sharing this incredible review, Seeman245!
We are absolutely thrilled and honored to hear that the WF-1000XM5 earbuds are the best wireless earbuds you have used, and that you loved your previous pair enough to purchase them again when the battery eventually gave out! That kind of loyalty is the highest compliment we can receive.
We are especially glad that you are benefiting from the multipoint connection feature, which allows you to seamlessly switch between two connected devices—a capability we prioritized for maximizing convenience.
Thank you again for your strong endorsement and for consistently choosing Sony!
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

MUST BUY FOR MUSIC LOVERS
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is superb compared to Apple AirPods Pro second gen. The mic quality on phone calls is lack luster but the noise canceling is much to blame for that. Noise cancelling while listening to music on the other hand is very good and blocks out most noises. The passive noise isolation is great with the foam ear tips as apposed to the silicone ones on the airpods, which gives you better seals

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is incredible. Has different earpiece sizes for different size ears. It’s not the cheapest earphones out there or earbuds. I should say but it’s definitely worth every dollar sound quality like I said it’s superb. You can hear Hi-Rez audio if you listen to Hi-Rez quality music. These are gonna be the earbuds for you to hear the sounds that you never knew were there.

They're pretty sweet.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love them, the only real issue I have is that they don't have an actual button. With the touch button, if you're wearing a hood, especially when it's wet out, the button gets triggered over and over. I had to turn off what the button does because of this but other than that one thing, they are absolutely worth it.

Sound Amazing and Great ANC
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound pretty good right out of the box and become even better once you start tuning the EQ. They have a feature where you play a song and select different circles of what sounds the best for it to then create an EQ for you. My only gripe is specific to the white pair is that the foam tips will very quickly stain from ear wax.

Great Earbuds but not so Durable on Hard floor
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Earbuds, worth the money if you love to have quality sound. You can't really sleep with them on your side. Main problem would be how delicate the earbuds can be. Any slight drop on hard floor may break them. I mean the slightest.

Good but don't use the largest earpieces
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I love Sony products, including this product, the battery life is very short lived and the largest earpieces prevent the proper seating of the buds in the case, so they don't charge. I realize technology is constantly being updated so hopefully better battery technology will help with the battery life.... but Sony...honestly, what's with the design flaw around the case fit?

Nothing short of amazing sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You have got to get a pair of these earbuds. The difference between the WF1000XM4's and the XM5's is like nigt and day. The sound quality is nothing short of amazing. My only complaint is that pulling out the earbuds from the charging cradle is tricky because my hands slip on the earbuds because the finish is smooth instead of a matted finish.

Nah.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These noise cancel well, however, if you use them for the gym, be wary, If anything touches the outside of the right or the left earbud, it either pauses the song or it toggles the noise, cancellation, either way it interrupts the song and your workout. I accidentally waited too long to return these so I have another pair of $300 earbuds that don@5 compare to my air pro’ 2’s, nice try Sony. But this is for a housewife, not anybody else Also, sometimes just one of the earbuds connect to Bluetooth, and I have to bring the whole case in now because if only one connects, I have to put them back in the case and take them out again for them to work.. Worthless.

Amazing noise cancelling and sound quality!

LIFE SAVER for my noisy neighbors
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have suffered for years from the extremely loud bass music from my neighbors. These are the ONLY headphones that take away the noise. Literally life changing and worth every single penny I spent on them. My wife has the ear muff version and has had the same experience. WORTH IT.
