Really enjoy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy these headphones more than others because theyre more easily tracked, and becuse it is easier to switch between sound settings. Audio is similar to beats, but more convenient to use.

Excellent sound, perfect noise cancelling, bad fit
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As the title states, these headphones are fantastic. They sound good, cancel out almost all noise, and are easy to use. I just wish they fit in my ears. My ear canal is just too small for the smallest size, leading me to have a huge headache after about 10 minutes of use. However, some 3rd party ear inserts from either CharJenPro on Amazon or COMPLY ear tips will solve that for you. 4/5 overall. If the foam wasnt so stiff it'd be a 5/5.

Great sound and features... but the fit
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds are awesome and i love them. Top notch sound quality and features, i can tell its made by sony. My main complaint is the fit. They seem to be fairly big in my ears and start to hurt just after 10 minutes. I have always had average sized ears, but this seems to be bothering me. I'm thinking about returning them. But if they fit someone else well, they really are perfect

Hello are you there?
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Superior noise canceling but they stay on even though I put them back in my case. They make receiving phone calls a task because you have to go to your call options and pick phone speaker or headset. I’m using an Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max. The Apple AirPods just sync better with the iPhone. I wanted some quality earbuds. They sound amazing but it’s going to take an update to fix the bugginess.

Great earbuds with awesome equalizer

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback on the WF-1000XM5, GooberBooger84. We are very glad to hear that you find them to be great and that you are impressed with the overall quality of the sound they produce.
We understand your point about the bass not being as "punchy" as you would have liked. We designed the WF-1000XM5 to deliver a balanced and accurate sound signature across the entire frequency range, aiming for clarity and detail. However, we also know that bass preference is a very personal aspect of listening. If you haven't already, you might find that adjusting the equalizer (EQ) settings within the Sony | Headphones Connect app allows you to customize the sound and boost the bass to your liking.
We truly appreciate your detailed and honest review. Your insights are invaluable as we continue to refine and improve our audio products. Thank you for being a Sony customer.
Best regards,
Gus

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.

Good sound, but bad physical design
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound quality, but bad design on the housing. It is hard to grab them out of charging box or you can easily drop to ground. All is because the material Sony choose is “slippery”.

Great performance and design but low IPX rating
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The WF-1000XM5's function great. Very impressive sound performance and design. I'm so happy Sony made these a bit smaller. The XM4's were too big and bulky and not very comfortable. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because for the price the XM5's should have have had a much higher IPX rating. Very disappointing that Sony decided to abandon that aspect of the premium buds. The earbuds support LDAC which is the codec I use. Make shure your phone supports LDAC

Posted .Hi NicholasP,
Thanks for your review of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds, it's fantastic to hear you're enjoying them!
We understand your desire to connect to more than two devices simultaneously, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. The WF-1000XM5 earbuds are designed with a multipoint connection feature that allows them to be connected to two devices at the same time. This is a great feature for switching seamlessly between a phone and a computer, for example.
While we recognize that many users would benefit from connecting to more than two devices, this is a limitation of the current Bluetooth technology used in the earbuds. We are always working to improve our products and features, and we will be sure to pass your feedback on to our engineering team for future consideration.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony Social Media Team
