Great sound but wasnt for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise cancellation and the sound is amazing. I just kept having popping issue with my ears when using either the noise cancellation or ambient setting. Better comfort and fit to my ear than the xm4 for sure. I have small ears.

Posted .Hi Afig,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the noise canceling function, sound quality, fit, and comfort of the headphones. Your feedback about the popping sound is greatly appreciated.
When the noise canceling function is turned on, you may hear a small amount of noise, but this is due to the characteristics of the noise canceling. You may also find this link helpful:

SONY ON TOP
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much better than Bose QC mic for talking, Samsung Pro buds, Sennheiser Mom 3. Sony is not perfect but much better performance when tested on NYC SUBWAY LINE.THE BEST TESTING GROUND FOR ANC FOR ANY EARBUD. I replaced my earbuds 4x b4 I found Sony, which I kept.

Really good wireless headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After going through 4 pairs of other wireless in-ear headphones, I finally got the nerve to buy the ones. At $250 they are surely expensive but they don't good and on a phone call the other part can here me clearly. They are small, light, with good battery life. If it's within your budget, they are a good choice.
