the best earbuds ever
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were amazing until I accidentally broke them. Make sure to keep the charging case clean, if not earwax and sweat can eventually form a mild glue that causes a little resistance when pulling the earbud out, eventually this resistance weakens the seal until you rip the earbud in half.

Just Okay
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth the expense. Noise cancelling is average. Though more comfortable than the XM4's, the 5s were not as comfortable as the Bose Quiet Comfort II (or Ultra). These also kept falling out of my ears.

Connectivity Issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the single worst headphones I have ever owned. Not because of the sound but the continued connectivity issues. They won't connect to my Samsung frame tv. They frequently discconect from my laptop, requiring me mid conference call to put them in the case to reset them. Sound is awesome but cannot stand this connectivity issue.

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.

Good, but not the noise cancelling in microphone
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony makes good products and these headphones are good and sound great, but the noise cancelling on the mic is sub-par. Considering these are the highest rated ear buds, especially for sound coming in through the mic, these fall very short
