    Not only is the sound amazing, the mics eork great, but the memory foam tips are huge upgrade from the silicone type thst the samsung, google, and jbl earbuds have. Way better fit for better noise cancelling.

    I was a bose guy all day long. That is until I met these Sony earbuds that stole my heart. They fit in my ear nice and comfy. I really like how compact the charging case is. This case offers wireless charging. If you enjoy being alone this will have you feeling as if it’s only you out here in this world lol.

    My first Sony earbuds were the WF1000XM3...then I upgraded to the WF1000XM4...now I've upgraded again to the WF1000XM5. So, if you see a pattern, then you're correct - these are really great overall earbuds. If you have the budget and are looking for one of the best earbuds, then I highly recommend giving these a try.

    I love the sound quality but the bass seems to be lacking comps to cheaper quality earbuds. My biggest isssue is the ear tips. They completely fell apart in about a month and a half. Got aftermarket tips afterwards bc I couldn’t fine OEM at the time and they have done the same. Probably going to trade them in for a different pair.

    The sound quality is even better than airpods pro love the talk through feature and make sure you play around with the fitting and if you do encounter and weird thing where there is no audio is most likely your driver for Bluetooth or whatever it is not up to date run troubleshooting will automatically do it for you
