Mic quality on calls
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these earbuds primarily for their touted AI-driven noise cancellation during phone calls. While the performance is satisfactory, it falls short of being the best, exhibiting an unusual crackling, slight voice muffling, and an unnatural sound quality. They work fine for music, but for daily, extended phone calls, they don't quite measure up. Consequently, I opted to return them and instead invested in the Nothing Ear 2. The latter excels in both sound quality and microphone performance, making it a more favorable choice for my needs.

New Buds are great, trade in credit falls short
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony buds are great, but haven't heard anything on the trade in credit that I qualified for. Feel like I gave away my earlier model Sony Buds for free. Can't get any information on the status, been over a month

Best sounding earbud, charging case issues
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved the xm4 and was looking forward to upgrading to the xm5's. Unfortunately, I am on my third pair of earbuds due to the charging case malfunctioning and stops charging. It's been covered under the one-year warranty, but I was hoping it would have been fixed by the second pair. Overall, I love the earbuds. I think the Sony sound quality is unmatched. That's why I'm still here dealing with this on the third pair. It's annoying but not enough for me to want to switch to a lower quality sound system and sound experience. Also hoping third time is the charm.

Great for listening to music or on a phone call
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these primarily at work instead of a traditional over the ear headset. They sound great on my end and I'm told they sound great to the other party. It takes a moment longer to put them in my ear when I'm receiving a phone call but they have a solid feel and are easy to insert.

Bad bud
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sony earbuds sound ok. I carry 2 sets of earbuds. My sonys sound amazing during phone calls ,but for music it lacks quality. My bose quiet comfort sound awesome for music, but for phone calls they are the worst buds ive ever used. The issue i have with my sonys is that the left bud dies 1.5 hours before the right one does

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only a couple of months in and nothing but positives…sound quality, check/noise cancellation, check/easy to set up with an app to further customize sound settings, check. Really the only downside would have to be price as they are on the higher end but still in line with the Bose and most others of this caliber.

Posted .Hi Patrick,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about the WF1000XM5 earbuds. We are pleased to hear how much you're enjoying the product overall. However, we understand that the fit issues you've experienced can be quite frustrating, especially during activities like running.

However, the foam tips become uncomfortable for my ear shape after a few hours even using the SS size along with an abrupt buzzing in the middle of music recently.
