    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.

      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:

      Thanks for the 5-star review, Nathin! We're glad that you are comfortable wearing the new Sony XM5 earbuds. The WF1000XM5 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! -Craig Sony_US

    In chosing my new air bud, the best buy rep was very knowledgeable and with his assistance, i was in a good position to select a product right for my needs. After using the said product for a couple of week now, i am very satisified with the high quality sound clarity i get. This was definitely the air bud for me.

    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.

    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.

    Great noise cancelling earbuds. Great sound. Love the color. The only thing I did not like is when I used them at the gym they kept slipping out. I am sure it was due to the sweat. So, I use them for work now where I do not sweat as much and they are Perfect!!

      Hi EstellaF, we're glad you like the sound quality and color of your new earbuds. We understand your feedback regarding the fit of your Sony unit. You can change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones.

We're always looking for ways to improve, so hearing what matters most to our listeners is incredibly helpful.

      Thank you for choosing Sony and for sharing your honest thoughts with us!
