    The sound quality is superb, the only issue if any that I've noticed are the eartips which hurt my ears after a couple hours. Switching the eartips fixes that so besides that their perfect.

    These replaced the previous version, which stopped working. They are a little bigger and have more features. One thing that happens too often is that the connection between the phone and earbuds breaks. Then when the phone rings, I have to reconnect the earbuds while the person waits. I use these mostly to listen to the TV when not on the phone.

    I had the WF 1000XM3 and wanted to upgrade the new WF1000XM5 and I am so glad that I did. They’re smaller in your ear so it's a great fix for working out and more and NEVER have to worry about them falling out. The sound is better than ever, and I qould recommend these to anyone who isn't worried about paying the high price for a great product.

      Hi Wayback718,

      You made the right choice upgrading to the Sony WF1000XM5! We're glad that you like the size, fit, and sound quality of the headphones. The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market. Noise reduction algorithms developed with AI machine learning suppress ambient noise and ensure the person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice clearly even in noisy situations. 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!

    Had the previous model and loved them until the battery on them gave out. These are even better, the case is smaller and shape fits nicer into a pocket, the earbuds are smaller and more comfortable and the sound quality/noise cancelling is still awesome too.

    Everything I could have hoped for in earbuds. I use them at work and they last all day and then some. I can still talk to people and hear them, and when I need to use a power tool, one tap on the left bud turns on noise cancellation. Perfect for what I need them for.

    The buds are excellent when they work. But there is a quirk in that, when taking them out of the case, I very often need to put them back in and pull them back out again just so they will connect. This has happened on two pairs, and I have given up trying to replace them as a solution.

    These are great sounding headphones. The pairing process to Apple products is pretty clunky and kind of frustrating however, and Sony could do a better job at making the process more seamless. Once you pair these they sound really great. I'd say the AirPods Pro 2 sound just a little better than the Sony's, but I believe you can play around with the EQ settings in the Sony app to make it sound to your liking. Also, I believe these headphones and Sony headphones in general will preserve your hearing more than other brands, I have nothing to back it up, it's just from observation and my personal experience from using these Sony headphones and others. These are high-quality headphones and would recommend picking these up if you're in the market for in-ears.

    Those earbuds are great and provide good ANC. The app is great and has lots of great features. The only issue I find with those earbuds are the ear tips. The air foam ear tips do not stay in their position within the ear canal. After trying all the fitting sizes, none of them seem to provide enough comfort and keep moving out of place. It is disappointing for pricey earbuds like those to have cheap and uncomfortable ear tips. I believe Sony can improve the ear tips in the future and improve the design and comfort level of those buds. One improvement that could be considered for the future is including ear wings to stabilize the ear tips in the ear canal.
