    I was looking for something better than Apple earbuds, and these received the best reviews on various websites. Compared to Apple Airbuds Pro, the Sony earbuds sound much better, with deeper, richer sound. They are very comfortable for longer wear, and excellent for long, hands-free calls. My one complaint - it took me a while to notice the small R and L on each earbud, Overall, they are consistent with the top reviews and a great choice if you're looking to upgrade

    These earbuds work well. The sound is clear, and have various sizes of rubber covers that fit the ear. At first i had trouble getting them to stay in my ears. After changing the rubber piece, I got a better fit. I can walk, talk, and listen to music throughout the day without issue. Not sure these would work for rigorous activities, but they're perfect for ordinary, daily activities.

    Better than the Predecessors. I have had the prior generation from Sony, going back to 2020, and this one is their best one. Battery life has improved significantly. Roughly 8 hours on ambient and another 8 to 12 with a case recharge. Faster recharged and i get let less complaints of static feedback. I only wear Sony. Sound quality is like wearing an audiophile set of cans.

    I don't usually write product reviews, but I am truly impressed with my earbuds. I use them for 6-8 hours every day, and the battery life continues to amaze me. I work outdoors in all kinds of weather, and they have never let me down.The most remarkable experience was during a tornado that knocked down hundreds of trees. At 11:30 at night, I was called out to shut off a natural gas well that had been hit by a tree. I climbed over what felt like a hundred trees in the dark, battling heavy rain and branches. It took nearly an hour to complete what would normally be a five-minute walk.During my trek back, a branch knocked out my right earbud. I searched for it with a flashlight for ten minutes before giving up. Two weeks later, while clearing debris, a coworker found the earbud on the ground. I was astonished. I put it back in the case, doubting it would charge or work. An hour later, it was back to a full charge and playing music perfectly.My coworker was so impressed he bought a pair the next day.

    The Sony WF1000XM5s? Yeah, they sound fantastic, like a solid punch to the face with sound. ANC is on point, blocks out the world like it’s not even there. But, uh, they’re not exactly comfy. Like, you’re aware you’re wearin’ 'em, you know? The smart ambience thing? It’s useless. Speech recognition for auto-adjusting ANC? Might as well be a brick for all the good it does. And don’t get me started on the charging. Right earbud just won’t charge after a while, and the case? It’s a freakin’ nightmare—don’t always charge when you drop ‘em in. They’re great for sound and ANC, but everything else? Not so much.

      Hi Tastey,

      We're delighted to hear that you appreciate the sound quality and noise cancellation of your WF-1000XM5 earbuds. However, we're sorry to learn that you're encountering charging issues and that some features aren't functioning as expected. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. The WF-1000XM5 earbud headphones may fall out or feel uncomfortable during use if they are not worn properly or the earbud tips doesn't match the size of your ear canals. Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears.

      We have a recommended way of wearing these earbud headphones to reduce discomfort. Please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/articles/00262839

      For the Speak-to-Chat function, you can use the “Sony Sound Connect app" (formerly Sony Headphones Connect app) to switch between enabled/disabled, change the sensitivity of the automatic audio detection, and change the time until the Speak-to-Chat mode ends. The Speak-to-Chat mode activates when the WF-1000XM5 detects the speech of the person wearing the them, but in rare cases it may activate in response to vibrations caused by devices such as electric toothbrushes, electric massagers, and electric shavers, or by activities such as brushing your teeth, coughing, or humming. In cases where the Speak-to-Chat mode frequently activates by accident, set Speak-to-Chat to “L Sensitivity”.

      If the earbuds do not charge, please visit this link to help resolve the issue: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00298367?utm_source=glean

    The fit and sound for these are great, and both the buds and case are very attractive. I do find they have some weird connectivity issues. For example sometimes only one bud turns on when I take them both out of the case. And I found switching these between my phone and computer frustrating, often resulting in no sound. But I'd still probably buy them again.

    Bought these for work and the gym. The sound quality is very good, however, I do not find the noise canceling to be good at all. I’ve tried all the different sized ear pieces and nothing seems to help. When in a meeting it almost seems to amplify outside noises more than quiet them. Other than the noise canceling issues these have been very good.

    This is a great purchase; and wonderful sound; but the bud fall from the ear too easily. The right bug fell from ear too often; now it is unrecoverable. Sony need to better survey ear dimensions, through their demographics.

      Hi TaraG,
      Thanks for reaching out and sharing your experience.
      It is most rewarding to hear how much you enjoy the sound quality of your WF-1000XM5, but we are truly sorry to hear that the right bud fell out and is now lost. We know how frustrating that is.

      For this particular case and this model, a replacement is not yet available for purchase, but they will be soon. Please bookmark this article and check back for updates: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00189241

      In the future, we recommend using the Sony | Sound Connect app, which has a test to help you find the best tip size for a more secure fit.

      Thanks for considering Sony and sharing your feedback.
      Warm regards,

      Hi HusnuK,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality and battery life of the headphones. Your feedback about its fit is greatly appreciated. For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing both earbuds properly. Put the headset unit with the (left) mark into your left ear and the headset unit with the (right) mark into your right ear. The left headset unit has a tactile dot. If you feel it is difficult to put the earbud tips into your ears, squeeze the earbud tips lightly before wearing the headset. Adjust the fit of the headset units to your ears. Hold and rotate the headset unit with your thumb, index, and middle finger to adjust the headset to fit your ear. After putting the headset unit into your ear, hold the side of the headset unit with your fingers and slowly push the earbud tip into your ear canal. Check if there is a gap between the earbud tip and your ear canal because the earbud tip is not inserted all the way into your ear or the earbud tip is the wrong size.

      Hi Mari,
      Thank you so much for the feedback. We're glad to hear you're enjoying the sound quality of your WF-1000XM5 earbuds, but we're really sorry to hear you're having connection issues and that they aren't working as seamlessly as they should with Siri and your notifications. That's definitely not the experience we want for our customers. We also appreciate you letting us know about the issue with them falling out of the case.

      For the connection issues and notification problems, we have a few recommendations that might help:
      1. Try turning Bluetooth off on your phone and then back on. You can also try "forgetting" the WF-1000XM5 in your phone's Bluetooth settings, then re-pairing them.
      2. Make sure your earbuds have the latest software. You can do this through the Sony | Sound Connect app.
      3. A full reset can sometimes clear up persistent issues. You can find instructions for this in the following link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783925.html

      We know it's frustrating to have these issues, and we appreciate your patience. If further assistance is needed, we suggest you to contact our support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

      We appreciate you giving Sony a chance with this product.

    I’ve been a Sony fan for years, and the WF-1000XM5s just keep proving why. The sound is killer, noise canceling is unreal, and they stay locked in even when I’m mowing or on a flight. Pure comfort, clean audio, and that Sony reliability I count on every time. A little heavier that others and I did upgrade to Comply foam tips.

      It’s incredibly rewarding to know that the sound quality is "killer" and that you find the noise canceling unreal. We designed these earbuds to deliver premium, clean audio and industry-leading noise isolation, so your feedback is a wonderful validation of that effort.
