Not as comfortable as i had hoped
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is good. Noise canceling is good. But th ear pieces makes the experienced almost not worth it. I still find myself using my airpod pros because they are so much more comfortable and the sound quality is hardly even distinguishable between the two.

Posted .Thank you for your review of the Sony WF-1000XM5, Julio. We appreciate your positive remarks regarding the sound quality and noise-canceling features. However, we regret to hear that you find the ear pieces uncomfortable.
Comfort is a crucial factor when it comes to headphones. It can sometimes take a little time to adjust to new earpieces, especially if you are accustomed to a different style. We suggest experimenting with the various sizes of ear tips included with the WF-1000XM5, as finding the right fit can greatly enhance comfort. If the provided tips do not suit your needs, consider exploring third-party alternatives specifically designed for improved comfort.
We are dedicated to delivering high-quality products and value your feedback, as it plays a vital role in our ongoing improvement. If you continue to experience discomfort, please do not hesitate to reach out for further assistance. Thank you once again for your support and understanding.
If you have any additional questions or require further help, please feel free to contact our support team directly.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Good but…
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is excellent, but the design leaves something to be desired. For the price, it could be more elaborate and less ugly.

Not Noise Cancelling
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The noise cancelling on these is terrible. I had the previous version and there was zero outside noise unless you selected ambient noise. This version doesn't block all of the ambiet noise, it rather supresses it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Best or nothing

Could be better

Posted .Hi EricM,
We are sorry to hear that the Noise Cancelling feature on your WF-1000XM5 earbuds is activating at inconvenient times, as this is definitely not the intended experience. This behavior is most often caused by the Adaptive Sound Control feature, which automatically changes the Noise Cancelling settings based on your activity (like walking or staying put); we recommend turning this feature off within the Sony | Headphones Connect App for a consistent experience. Additionally, check the app's settings to ensure the Speak-to-Chat function is disabled, as this temporarily pauses Noise Cancelling when you start talking.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Mediocre ear buds
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried these buds out for a week. I work construction and wanted something that i could wear during the day in order to take calls without holding my phone. Honestly, they worked, but my 2 stars is in comparison to the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. The Sony buds are big and bulky, and one actually fell out of my ear while walking. The sound of music and bass is mediocre, compared to the Galaxy buds. The price was also big and bulky. All in all, not enough product or quality for double the price of the Galaxy Bud 2 Pros.
