    These were OK. They didnt grip in my ear very well, and I did not like the smooth finish on the buds. Noise cancelling and audio quality was OK, but did not adequately block out the construction noises I work around.

      Hi NikolasB, thank you for giving the Sony - WF1000XM5 a try and for taking the time to share your feedback.

Your comments about the grip and finish are appreciated and will be shared with our product team as we continue to improve comfort and performance. We're glad you found the audio quality decent, and we hope to have the opportunity to earn your trust back in the future. Thank you for considering Sony! Best regards, -Dominick Sony_US

      Hi Luis,

      We regret to hear about what happened to the other Sony headphones. You made the right choice upgrading to the Sony WF-1000XM5! We're glad that your son is enjoying the sound quality and user-friendly functions of the headphones.

      The WF-1000XM5 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!

    Wonderful sound quality and amazing NC. However, they are quite uncomfortable. Its no dofferent than the mx4. If youre going tonmake a product for the passes, switch to a material that is plyable and an earbud shape that can conform to most ears. The bose qc 2 are amazingly comfortable. But their connectivity is atrocious.

    For the price, the earbuds are just OK. The noise cancelling function is not as good as on the "big" headphones. And, I had to buy generic foam tips to replace original ones, because the foam was not expanding well. Sound is good, but not better than air pods pro. Overall, I think this item is too expensive for what it is.
