Best noise-canceling, period!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are looking for earbuds with the best noise canceling in the industry, hands down the Sony WF1000XM5 can't be beat. The Bose and Samsung buds fail in comparison.

Great earbuds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these daily around 8-9 hours a day, mostly at work but also the gym, they’re very comfortable and the noise canceling is really good. My only complaint is I wish battery life were slightly longer, and it has very intermittent connection issues.

Posted .Hi KenA,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback; we're happy to hear you find the WF-1000XM5 earbuds comfortable and that the noise cancellation is performing so well for your daily 8-9 hour use! Regarding the battery life, please note that features like ANC, DSEE Extreme, and high-quality codecs like LDAC can reduce the operating time, which is rated up to 8 hours with ANC on. To address the intermittent connection, please try navigating to the Sony | Headphones Connect app and changing the Bluetooth Connection Quality setting to Prioritize Stable Connection under the Sound tab, which often resolves minor dropouts. If the connection issue persists, a simple headset reset may be necessary: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/2963/v1/en/contents/TP1000783924.html.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

Great Earbuds but not so Durable on Hard floor
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Earbuds, worth the money if you love to have quality sound. You can't really sleep with them on your side. Main problem would be how delicate the earbuds can be. Any slight drop on hard floor may break them. I mean the slightest.

Amazing noise cancelling and sound quality!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had read that the noise cancelling had been much improved on these earbuds. I became very dissatisfied with my Apple Pro 2s. The Sony WF1000XM5 are amazing in this regard with outstanding music quality too!

They are not worth the price.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ear buds fall out and the active noise is bad. The ANC is good though sound is decent, battery life is great, but there is no touch feature everything is done by tapping. The case is tiny and these thing will be easy to lose not to mention the box it comes in is just a recycled cheap box. They kept falling out of my ear. They sound good but have a bad base sound when you hit bumps or it hears loud thump noise. I was walking and with each step there was a base noise in my ear. These things can probably be fixed with updates but I don't see the high expense worth it. The ambient sound is also bad.

They're pretty sweet.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love them, the only real issue I have is that they don't have an actual button. With the touch button, if you're wearing a hood, especially when it's wet out, the button gets triggered over and over. I had to turn off what the button does because of this but other than that one thing, they are absolutely worth it.

Nah.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These noise cancel well, however, if you use them for the gym, be wary, If anything touches the outside of the right or the left earbud, it either pauses the song or it toggles the noise, cancellation, either way it interrupts the song and your workout. I accidentally waited too long to return these so I have another pair of $300 earbuds that don@5 compare to my air pro’ 2’s, nice try Sony. But this is for a housewife, not anybody else Also, sometimes just one of the earbuds connect to Bluetooth, and I have to bring the whole case in now because if only one connects, I have to put them back in the case and take them out again for them to work.. Worthless.

Sound Amazing and Great ANC
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound pretty good right out of the box and become even better once you start tuning the EQ. They have a feature where you play a song and select different circles of what sounds the best for it to then create an EQ for you. My only gripe is specific to the white pair is that the foam tips will very quickly stain from ear wax.

Best Earbuds.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is incredible. Has different earpiece sizes for different size ears. It’s not the cheapest earphones out there or earbuds. I should say but it’s definitely worth every dollar sound quality like I said it’s superb. You can hear Hi-Rez audio if you listen to Hi-Rez quality music. These are gonna be the earbuds for you to hear the sounds that you never knew were there.

LIFE SAVER for my noisy neighbors
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have suffered for years from the extremely loud bass music from my neighbors. These are the ONLY headphones that take away the noise. Literally life changing and worth every single penny I spent on them. My wife has the ear muff version and has had the same experience. WORTH IT.

MUST BUY FOR MUSIC LOVERS
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is superb compared to Apple AirPods Pro second gen. The mic quality on phone calls is lack luster but the noise canceling is much to blame for that. Noise cancelling while listening to music on the other hand is very good and blocks out most noises. The passive noise isolation is great with the foam ear tips as apposed to the silicone ones on the airpods, which gives you better seals
I would recommend this to a friendGreat buds if you leave them in.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is very good on them. The foam tips have a bad tendency to rips with repeated use. These are ideal if you leave your buds in for a long time. the sound cancellation is great. But they are pretty bad if you pop them in and out for calls a lot.
