    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.

    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.

    I was a bose guy all day long. That is until I met these Sony earbuds that stole my heart. They fit in my ear nice and comfy. I really like how compact the charging case is. 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.

    Sony always make the best quality products, though you won't enjoy them if you don't have big ear holes. And they might fall out when you talking or eating.

      HI ChristianG,

      We are glad you appreciate the quality of our products! We understand that comfort and fit are crucial for enjoying the WF-1000XM5. For the best seal and stability, please ensure you have tested all four sizes of the noise-isolating earbud tips, as a snug fit is essential for both noise cancellation and preventing movement while talking or eating.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    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.
