Amazing earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for my partner after their old pair broke. They use them for over 8 hours daily due to a loud working environment and do a wonderful job of noise canceling and clear audio.

Terrible quality for price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these before getting the bose QC ultra. But i have read reviews about these and apparently the generation before these was amazing, i tried these and they were just not it, very disappointed. I wouldnt even recommend to a friend, theyre expensive but yet they feel very fragile and cheap, the buttons on the earbuds themselves are very sensitive youll find yourself accidentally activitating buttons while adjusting them. The app for them is very basic and not much to do, not even customizable. And the buttons for the buds themselves are not changeable. Sound quality is average. What i would recommend are the bose quietcomfort ultra.

So far, so good
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, he loves them. Gave these to hubby for Christmas. The only perm is that other reviewers mentioned that the bass may not be as good as other buds. So he is analyzing that now.

Great ear buds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancellation is pretty good, and the sound quality is great. It takes a little getting used to getting them in your ears because they are smaller than what I am used to with AirPods

Posted .Hi iiGR33DYii, thank you for your honest review of the Sony - WF1000XM5. We're very glad to hear you're enjoying the powerful bass and the impressive noise cancellation, it's great to know the music experience stood out for you!

Sony Does It again
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are incredible! Upgraded my QC 35 to these because only one side on the bose would work by itself. The noise cancelling is 2nd to none. The audio quality is amazing and they heard the reviews and made the buds smaller and the case. This was a home run by Sony.
