    I love these earbuds, the sound is crisp, the boise canceling is great. The only issue I've had is finding a tip that fits my ears perfectly since I'm between the size small and medium.

      Hi Izaac, We're glad that you like the noise canceling function. Sony takes into consideration all feedback to improve the performance and quality of our products. You can also check the battery percentage even if you're not using the app. When the headset is connected to an iPhone or iPod touch over an HFP (Hands-free Profile) Bluetooth connection, it will show an icon that indicates the remaining battery charge of the headset on the screen of the iPhone or iPod touch. The remaining battery charge of the headset is also displayed on the widget of an iPhone or iPod touch running iOS 11 or later. For more details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the iPhone or iPod touch. Ref: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000781966.html?search=battery

      Hope this helps.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Whether on the bus or walking my dog, these are my favorite noise-cancelling in-ear headphones. I tweaked the EQ easily in the app, and the performance is incredible. Highly reccomend as they offer phenomenal noise cancelling and sound quality - better sound quality than the Bose equivalent in my opinion.

    Good sound quality, but bad design on the housing. It is hard to grab them out of charging box or you can easily drop to ground. All is because the material Sony choose is “slippery”.

    Amazing Quality Earbuds, Fitment was not for me

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I want to be fair when reviewing this product. These earbuds are amazing. The quality and features alone stand out among competitors. However, I did have issues with fitment. I tried all of the provided ear tips but the never fit well enough and this is a larger issue for me cause I wanted to use them while working out with as well. I am not a fan of the memory foam type ear tips so I did return them and tried out the Bose which had better fitment but did notice that the Sony buds had better sound quality and loudness.

      Hi Nick,

      Thanks for sharing your 5-star review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you were not satisfied with its fit and design. For optimum fit and comfort, it is recommended to wear the headphones properly. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The most suitable size of the earbud tips for left and right ears may be different. The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app also helps you determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc.

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

    I had troubled with ear fits with my samsung bud pro II. Dont get me wrong i love their tech.but almost loosing one earbud is not a good option. After carefully researching adjustable buds, sony leaded the pack not only as a better rated ear bud but had multi adjustable earpieces to fit just about anyone ears. BB staff shine again with great support. V/R, Ken H.

    I had purchased the Sony WF-1000XM5 to replace my WF-1000XM4 because they just couldn't hold a charge and one of the earbuds would drop connection at random. Overall, I really like the XM5 earbuds but my biggest gripe is that they're glossy so sometimes they fall out of my hands when handling them. These earbuds are really good and I recommend it!

We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the glossy finish; we aimed for a sleek, compact design, but we understand it can be a bit adjustment when handling them.

    [Employee of bestbuy] The Sony XM5 earbuds have the best quality sounds from any wireless earbud to find their way into my ear canals. Out of the box, I've had issues with the ambient sound control, something I really appreciate in public spaces. Concurrent updates to the earbuds seem to have improved the issue, but it is one note worthy of discussing.

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the battery life, sound quality, and charging case of the headphones. Your feedback about the Ambient Sound function of the headphones is greatly appreciated.

      For optimum performance, make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). You can also adjust the settings of the Ambient Sound Mode (via the Sony app) depending on your needs.
