    Very good ANC, Sound quality is amazing, battery lasts for a long time. I love these, they suppress background noise on calls and make them more clear while at work.

      Thank you for sharing your fantastic review, Case!

      We are absolutely thrilled to hear that the WF-1000XM5 earbuds are a "perfect fit" for you and that you find them so much better! The fit and comfort were key design goals for this model, and it's incredibly rewarding to know that the efforts to make them smaller and include multiple sizes of our noise-isolating foam tips are delivering a superior wearing experience.

      Thank you again for choosing Sony!

    Sony keeps raising the bar on the WF series, the M5's offers improved sound quality, while maintaining great noise-cancelling, and all the handful features I already loved on the M4's—but now in smaller and lighter buds.

      Thanks for the amazing feedback, MiloB! The WF1000XM5 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 Sony_US

    These actually stay in my ears the entire time without me having to constantly reseat them or them falling out, and they're comfortable. A bit pricey, but it has a ton of great features and they stay in place.

    I like these earbuds but I hate the material the tips are made from they aren't comfortable or durable. They are very hard to keep clean. What I like the most is the noise cancelling. It is great and I really love listening to my podcasts and music.

    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.

    Decided to buy this pair again because of the over all design and quality sound. I grabbed a pair of the new Bose ultra and the Bluetooth connection and discomfort made me buy these again. Looking forward to the next model. Over all these Sony don’t need much improvement.

    Excellent sound quality and offering. The only issue I've had is not with the earbuds themselves.. Rather it's the case (if you drop it on the floor.. It will open up and your earbuds will fly away rather far). [Wish the hinge was way stronger]

    I did a lot of research on the best audio quality earbuds with ANC features before I finally settled on these. I'm a bit of an audiophile, and these earbuds give me exactly what I'm looking for. It's an experience using them and I have specific playlists just for when I listen with these. Not to mention the noise cancelling is pretty darn good. These earbuds are costly, yes, but in my opinion, they are worth every penny. Not to mention the FEATURES that come with it!! So many things you can do through the Sony app that is paired with your earbuds. I love love love them and will recommend it to anyone.

    I’ve had the AirPod pro 2, other Sonys plus other premium brand headphones. These are far and away the best. Sound, noise cancellation and they are small enough to not stick out of my ear. Highly recommend 10/10

    Truly unbelievable noise cancelling. I take the train every day in Manhattan, and half the time I forget that I'm even on a train. The bass is fantastic too, especially with the Sony headphones app. It's so good that I sold my over ear XM4's because I don't really need them anymore.
