    When it comes to buds (and headphones) Sony has surpassed the competition. Sound quality is awesome, and battery life is great!

    Sound quality is great, ease of use not so much. Also although they would stay in my ear even when sweating it felt like they would fall out any moment maybe due to the way the earphones go upside down. Maybe because i am biased to using AirPods for years now but just the connectivity with an iPhone for me it was a hassle. Sound quality and customizability was there though.

      Hi OscarR, we're sorry to hear you've had a less-than-ideal experience with the ease of use and fit of your WF-1000XM5 earbuds. We understand that a comfortable and secure fit along with seamless connectivity, are crucial for an enjoyable listening experience.

      We recommend trying the different sizes of earbud tips that came with your WF-1000XM5s. Experimenting with these can often significantly improve both the fit and the perceived stability of the earbuds, even when active.

      Should you continue to experience any difficulties with connectivity or fit, or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our technical support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones

      Thank you for being a valued Sony customer and for your feedback.

    Apple audio products suck. Get these instead because not only do these earbuds have the same great noise cancelation, they offer EQ settings in the sony app when you pair them to your phone or tablet that make the earbuds sound even better out the box. Apple doesnt want tou to be able to do that for some reason. Idiots. PLEASE DO NOT GET AIRPODS OR BEATS IF YOU ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT GOOD QUALITY AUDIO!!!

    I use these headphones for noisy yard work (mowing the lawn) to protect my hearing and listen to music. I also use them for running and gym. They stay in my ears just fine, and the battery life is great. This is my third set, charging system gives out after about 2 yrs

    The sound quality is great. Connecting to different devices simultaneously can be tricky. They start hurting my ears when I wear it for an extended time. Fitting is not that great for my ears. It’s snug but fall out every now and then.

    Sony has long been a favorite brand for me when it comes to audio. I previously bought the WF1000 XM4 and loved them. I lost them somehow, so I bought the newest version as a replacement. I've absolutely loved them. They are very easy to use with the app. The sound is just incredible. When I have them on in loud areas, they completely block out the ambient noise, leaving just my music. Thoroughly enjoyable.
