Sony earbud review
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its an excellent product, perfect sounding and great in build noise cancellation. But the downside is it slipped off your hear if you move around too much or if the bass beat sound is too loud. Overall I think its a good product.

Good Overall
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent feature set, but I don't use any of it. I bought these for sound quality, didn't mean my expectations. Still have yet to find a pair of bids that meet my sound quality expectations.

There Great
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are by far my favorite headphones I have ever had over the last 20 years. I would say I had tried most if not all headphones on the market and these are the best in terms of audio sounds and keeping noise out with their noise blocking technology.

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.

Posted .Hi SpicyChorizo, we're glad you are enjoying your new earbuds. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with the fit of your Sony unit. You can 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. Please check this link for more details:

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.

Good but don't use the largest earpieces
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I love Sony products, including this product, the battery life is very short lived and the largest earpieces prevent the proper seating of the buds in the case, so they don't charge. I realize technology is constantly being updated so hopefully better battery technology will help with the battery life.... but Sony...honestly, what's with the design flaw around the case fit?

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.
