Worth the price!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price point, it was either these, or airpods. Even with having an iphone, I still made the choice to get these, and i dont regret it! Use them almost everyday, long battery even with daily use, quality feel to them. So far as sound quality, i'm not a professional, but i'd side with these against the airpods, just because I like them so much!

Posted .You made the right choice, KiyonEllison! 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! -Craig

Best sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Possibly the best headphones on the market. Sound quality is impeccable and they have a very snug fit with the different sizes for the ear plugs they have. Only issue i had was the case comes open a little to easily and ended up losing one of my headphones

Great sound and noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They excellent audio quality, clear and well-balanced, though not quite at audiophile level. The ANC is top-notch and does a great job blocking out background noise. My main issue is with the ear cushions, they feel a bit uncomfortable after extended use and sit oddly on the ears. Great sound and noise cancellation, but comfort could be better.

Posted .Hello Dwight,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We're pleased to hear that you appreciate the audio quality and noise cancellation of the Sony WF-1000XM5. We understand that comfort is just as important as performance. The discomfort you're experiencing with the ear cushions is not something we want you to endure. If you feel discomfort or find that your Sony ear tips sit oddly on your ears after extended use, it is recommended to try different ear tip sizes. Your earbuds likely came with multiple ear tip sizes, and finding the right fit can greatly enhance comfort and sound quality. It's essential to ensure a snug fit, which not only improves comfort but also enhances noise cancellation and overall audio performance.
We’re sharing this link so you can check more details about the earbud tips.

Fairly good earbuds minus the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally had a different pair of wireless Sony earbuds that had a wire connecting them together. I needed something that provided a true wireless fit. These are working great so far for what I needed. Unfortunately I do believe them to be a little pricey still.

Great ANC headphones.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was eagerly awaiting the release of these headphones. The ANC and sound quality is absolutely phenomenal. That said they are very poor workout headphones due to the lack of stabilizer fins so they lose 1 star for that.

Great wireless ear buds
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect for what i needed. Fits well in my ear without needing comply tips, and has great sound and mic quality while taking calls on the go. The noise cancellation still isnt as good as Bose (IMO) but it gets the job done, especially is on busy and windy streets.

Top 3 consumer in-ear headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing sound quality, great features built in like head nods and finger taps, and excellent battery life. If these are even $10 off, you should go for it. However, if you are looking for something even more sonically accurate, then you better pony up the dough for professional IEM’s.
