    The sound quality is great. Connecting to different devices simultaneously can be tricky. They start hurting my ears when I wear it for an extended time. Fitting is not that great for my ears. It’s snug but fall out every now and then.

      Hi LindaB,
      Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the WF-1000XM5 earbuds. We are pleased to learn that you think the sound quality is great!

      We are sorry to hear that you are running into issues with simultaneous device connection and that you are experiencing discomfort and fit issues when wearing them for a long time.

      We highly recommend trying the different earbud tip sizes that came in the box. The WF-1000XM5 includes various sizes of the Noise Isolation Earbud Tips designed to help you find the most comfortable and secure seal for your ear, which can also greatly improve the noise canceling performance.

    the ear pain from the last series is gone, the sound blocking is ridiculously good. you can clear away so much noise you wonder if it.s safe! but that’s what ambient mode is for—at the touch of a button;) buy with confidence!

    The sound quality is the best I've had in headphones. Has cause soreness in the ears if worn for a very extended period of time, so making sure these fit the shape of your ear is important. These may not fit everyone.

    Excellent sound quality from such a compact product. At first i was unsure about wireless ear buds. However after the first use, im glad i made the investment. I use these for XC mountain bike training and they feel super secure even after multiple hours of strenuous riding. The sound is crisp and clear and the option for ambient sound is really neat. You can literally talk and have a conversation without removing the buds and then when done switch back to true noise cancelling and continue jamming out.

    I bought these for the noise cancelling feature. I was going to be on a long flight and wanted to drown out the background noise. They worked tremendously for this purpose, my wife would say too well. The reason for missing a star is the voice to talk feature has its flaws if I cleared my throat it would react as if I was talking. Also when ear buds are in case my phone app would not recognize them so could not tell charge level until I took them out of the case.

    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
