    This is my 2nd set of W series (owned 3rd gen). They have amazing full clear sound. Every range of sound is in crystal clear presentation while the bass coddles that range like a warm blanket on a cold morning.

    These are very good earbuds. I have always had issues with earbuds falling out of my ears. These actually stay in my ears. The sound quality is really good and the ANC is much better than i expected for ear buds. The passive isolation is really good and the ANC is almost like wizardry.

      Hello ErikWest,

      Thank you for your insightful review of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds!

      We're thrilled to hear that you find them to be a great product to enjoy your music. That's exactly what we aim for with our premium audio devices.

      You've hit on a really important point regarding noise canceling: you're absolutely right that the noise canceling capabilities of compact in-ear headphones, while exceptional for their size, won't quite match the performance of our larger, over-ear WH-1000XM series headphones. The larger physical seal and different driver technology in over-ear models allow for a broader and often deeper reduction of ambient noise.

      And we completely understand the challenge of practicing golf with over-ear headphones—that's a perfect scenario where the WF-1000XM5s truly shine, offering high-quality sound and effective noise reduction in a much more compact, activity-friendly form factor.

      Thanks again for your great feedback and for choosing Sony!

      Sincerely,
      Jenn. Sony_US

    Great color; nice variety of ear tip sizes (I have small ears!). Call quality is excellent. I was looking to replace an old Jabra Active pair that I loved and alas, these aren’t as good— ANC isn’t as good; didn’t fit my ears as well as Jabra; case battery only really good for 1-2 full charges (I had to charge the case every other day, whereas the Jabra cases need recharging 1-2x/ week). I’m keeping these as my extra pair and ordered a pair of Jabras through a reseller
