Perfect option just one adustment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect sound and clarity all time preferred. Just one adjustment has to be in mind and is that they get loose in your ear and fall out with too much movement.

Very good sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice sounding earbuds. They come with 4 different sized rubber ear plugs. The app for them is very good. There is sound presets along with an equalizer. Phone calls are clear with no distortion. The noise canceling is decent but could be better in my opinion. Overall sound quality is very good. I highly recommend these earbuds.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is absolutely fantastic. I ride a motorcycle, ans these are a daily use for me because of the ANC that Sony uses, and it blocks out almost ALL outside sound. I highly reccomend this.

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.

Just get an xm4 until the xm6 comes out
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I miss the XM4. The changes in design has made it so that the earbuds never fits quite right in my ear, and I've used multiple tip types. Also, if you only use one ear bud, it doesn't default to noise canceling. You can turn on NC manually or use adaptive control, but even then adaptive controls keeps turning off in the app. Meaning it defaults back to ambient noise. If you drop the case the buds just go flying out, I've almost lost them multiple times. It happened occasionally with the xm4s, but the xm5 magnet is weaker I think. Battery life, connectivity, and sound are great, but the problems I outlined make it a fail in my book.

Posted .Hi Acw00, Thank you for your feedback on the WF-1000XM5. We appreciate your detailed review and are sorry to hear about the issues you've encountered.
Regarding the fit of the earbuds, we understand that comfort and secure fit are crucial. If you've already tried different sizes and types of ear tips and you continue to experience discomfort, please reach out to our support team for further assistance.
For the noise-canceling feature, we acknowledge that it should ideally activate automatically when using a single earbud. We will pass on your feedback to our development team.
The concern about the earbuds falling out of the case is noted. We will look into the magnet strength and case design to ensure the earbuds remain secure during everyday use.
We're glad to hear that you are satisfied with the battery life, connectivity, and sound quality of these earbuds.
Thank you for choosing Sony. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our support team through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US.

Great Earbuds!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
