The WF1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market.

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! -Sam

Good enough
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This are very good earbuds, but not totally great. Getting a good seal not automatic, and mic picks up quite a bit of room noise.

Posted .Hi Beammeeup, thank you for sharing your honest feedback! It is most rewarding to hear that you find the Sony - WF1000XM5 to be very good overall! With their industry-leading noise cancellation, rich sound quality, and intelligent adaptive features, they're built to elevate your listening experience. We also understand that getting the right fit can make a big difference, especially when it comes to noise isolation and call quality. If you haven't already, we highly recommend trying out the different sizes of ear tips included in the box, a proper seal not only improves comfort, but also enhances both noise cancellation and mic performance by reducing external interference. We appreciate your thoughts and thank you for choosing Sony! Best regards, -Dominick

Great if the fit... They didn't.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TLDR: They always felt like they were falling out, or actually fell out. I didn't keep these long enough to properly review everything about this product because they simply would not stay in my ears. Extremely disappointed that something this highly recommended had a fit so poor, even for me. I'll give them 2 stars because the build quality and case are excellent quality. I honestly have a hard time with earbuds staying in. The little ear fin that the Sennheiser Momentum headphones come with are with every extra cent.

Work great, but not as comfortable as XM4
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To be honest, I don't love the way these fit in the ears compared to the last model. However, the audio quality is great. I don't think you'd be missing out if you got the xm4 instead however.

Posted .Hi AngelaC,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about its fit is greatly appreciated.
For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing both earbuds properly. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible. Change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The most suitable size of the earbud tips for left and right ears may be different. The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc. Perform [Determines Optimal Earbud Tips] and confirm that [Earbud tips are air-tight.] is displayed. If the display is a display other than the above, push the earbud tip slowly into your ear canal or replace it with another earpiece and measure again.
