    Sound quality is excellent. Not very comfortable as I had to buy silicone tips. It easily pops out of year. Sony needs to work on its design. Otherwise good product.

    Using these primarily with Zoom / Teams and video content, paired with a Mac. Sound is excellent and colleagues report they can hear my voice clearly on calls. Big improvement over my Bose Nocturnes.

    Very nice sounding earbuds. They come with 4 different sized rubber ear plugs. The app for them is very good. There is sound presets along with an equalizer. Phone calls are clear with no distortion. The noise canceling is decent but could be better in my opinion. Overall sound quality is very good. I highly recommend these earbuds.

    Sound quality is absolutely fantastic. I ride a motorcycle, ans these are a daily use for me because of the ANC that Sony uses, and it blocks out almost ALL outside sound. I highly reccomend this.

This case offers wireless charging. If you enjoy being alone this will have you feeling as if it’s only you out here in this world lol.

    My first Sony earbuds were the WF1000XM3...then I upgraded to the WF1000XM4...now I've upgraded again to the WF1000XM5. So, if you see a pattern, then you're correct - these are really great overall earbuds. If you have the budget and are looking for one of the best earbuds, then I highly recommend giving these a try.
