Good at Best for ME
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price ($300.00) I was not overly impressed. The sound was good, but as I expected, the ANC was not great compared to the Sony WH1000XM4 (Over the Ear) headphones that I have. Finally, I returned these because I could just not get a great fit with any of the provided earbuds. Over time, they seemed to slip out of my ear canals. The earbuds never fell off, but the seal was not consistent. I much prefer the fit of my much cheaper PowerBeats Pro that hook over my ears. The Beats do not have ANC, but maybe I don't need that in my earbuds.

Posted .Hi BioTeach23, Thank you for your review of the WF1000XM5. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that the product did not meet your expectations and it had to be returned.
Regarding the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), it is true that the WF1000XM5, being in-ear earbuds, may not provide the same level of ANC as the over-ear WH1000XM4 headphones. Over-ear headphones generally offer better passive noise isolation due to their design, which can enhance the effectiveness of ANC.
We understand that fit and comfort are crucial for an enjoyable listening experience. The fit of earbuds can vary significantly from person to person, and it is unfortunate that the provided ear tips did not offer a secure fit for you.
We value your input and thank you for sharing your feedback. I hope you consider our Sony products in the future.
Regards,
Sam

Best sounding but not the best fitting
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly i love Sony and have been a fan of there products for well over 10 years, these are by far the best sounding earbuds ive had since the galaxy buds pro. Idk if its just the way my ears are but for some reason the right earbud doesn't stay in as much as my left one does.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback, Cbano42!
We are so pleased to hear that you are enjoying the Excellent sound quality of your WF-1000XM5 earbuds. Delivering that high-fidelity audio experience is our top priority!
We also appreciate you bringing the issue with the right earbud intermittently going blank to our attention. That is certainly not the seamless experience we intend, and having to re-insert it into the charger is frustrating. This is often a temporary issue that can be resolved with a specific troubleshooting step, such as cleaning the charging contacts on both the earbud and the case, or performing a reset of the earbuds.
We would like to help you resolve this permanently. Please reach out to our support team directly at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones so our specialists can guide you through these quick fixes and ensure both earbuds work reliably for you.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Sony Wf-1000xm5
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony Wf-1000's are great the ambient sound/noise canceling is the best available and huge sound and bass upgrade compared to the Sony xm4's. U can listen to anything anytime anywhere while still being able to interact with the world around you. I highly recommend to anyone who works in a loud environment like myself to people who live with normal noise decimals on a daily basis these things are absolutely amazing.

Great Sony Ear buds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There’s a lot of great technology built into these ear buds. Tap one to start and stop. Tap the other to switch from noise canceling to ambient sound. Wonderful sound quality and decent noise canceling. Not as good as over the ear headphones but good for earbuds. Main complaint is they don’t stay in your ears very well.

Alright
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly the only reason why I bought these is because my previous model died on me. I dont think the active noise cancelation is all that great. Unless my music is real loud i still here everything thats around me. The earbuds are comfortable but wait untill these are on sale if you can

Posted .Hi Andrew,
We’re sorry to hear your experience about the active noise cancellation with the WF1000XM5 earbuds. To get the most out of noise cancelling, make sure the earbuds create a secure fit in your ear—adjusting the ear tip size can really help. It’s also a good idea to check if noise cancelling is set to its highest level trough the Sony Sound Connect app. As well, a firmware update might be needed, which you can confirm in the Sony Sound Connect app, you can find more information in the following link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/software/00296561 If you’re still hearing a lot of background noise, gently cleaning the earbud microphones may also improve performance.
Thank you for considering Sony products.
Best regards
DiegoV.

Lack of ANC
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound great once you setup the EQ settings. What makes these terrible is the ANC, there’s an issue with voice cancellation, since I can hear people talking clearly. They do cancel sometimes other noises but even with proper sealed these let a lot of noise in. They dont feel like they hsve ANC. I will be returning these,not worth the $300 price tag.
