    Quality headphones. They sound and feel great. Only issue is the app can be a little cumbersome to navigate and you cant get the tracking like galaxy buds.

    This are very good earbuds, but not totally great. Getting a good seal not automatic, and mic picks up quite a bit of room noise.

      Hi Beammeeup, thank you for sharing your honest feedback! It is most rewarding to hear that you find the Sony - WF1000XM5 to be very good overall! With their industry-leading noise cancellation, rich sound quality, and intelligent adaptive features, they're built to elevate your listening experience. We also understand that getting the right fit can make a big difference, especially when it comes to noise isolation and call quality. If you haven't already, we highly recommend trying out the different sizes of ear tips included in the box, a proper seal not only improves comfort, but also enhances both noise cancellation and mic performance by reducing external interference. We appreciate your thoughts and thank you for choosing Sony! Best regards, -Dominick Sony_US

    Connection problems! Need case to pair! ANC bad!

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

    Today the left earbud stated the battery was low and turned off. I put them in the case to reset for about 1 minutes, took them back out, and they are at 99%. These are complete garbage! These glitch every day. 50% chance one won’t connect to Apple Watch. I’ll have to reinsert into the case, which I don’t carry into the gym with me. If I tap to turn off noise cancelling to talk to someone, one earbud will turn it off and the other won’t. The only fix is to put the earbuds in the case or forget pairing and re-pair them altogether. I don’t bring the case with me into the gym or on a jog, that would be ridiculous. This trend of requiring the charging case to pair is absolutely absurd . If you’re in the gym or out for a jog and the charging case is in your car or at home, you can’t re-pair your earbuds when they glitch. Rebooting your phone or watch doesn’t fix the problem. Repairing is often the only way to fix. Why can’t we long click both earbuds to setup pairing mode? Common Sense! Why does this need to be more difficult than it should be? Imagine needing to put your phone in a special case to pair it to Bluetooth devices. That sounds really foolish right? So why do we require that for earbuds? The ANC is less than average with these. I suspect the foam tips are part of the problem. I’ve had about 6 pairs of earbuds in the past 3 years. These have the worst ANC of them all.

    TLDR: They always felt like they were falling out, or actually fell out. I didn't keep these long enough to properly review everything about this product because they simply would not stay in my ears. Extremely disappointed that something this highly recommended had a fit so poor, even for me. I'll give them 2 stars because the build quality and case are excellent quality. I honestly have a hard time with earbuds staying in. The little ear fin that the Sennheiser Momentum headphones come with are with every extra cent.
