    bought these when my airpod pros broke on me. I already have the Sony over the ear headphones the 4th generation model and was sold on Sony as the superior sound over apple. these are awesome for working out and the fit is more comfortable and the bass is so much better. recommend to anyone who is looking for gym earbuds

    My genuine daily drivers, even with an iPhone. I feel they feel and sound much better than apple buds, and some with 3 extra sets of size tips so you can really get a nice feel. Use them for workouts, walks, when I’m shoveling, or when I’m doing projects around the house.

    I love the big sound in a seamless compact size. They charging case supports wireless charging and they feel very comfortable and snug nicely in the ear. They arent the easiest to put in and take out but once you get used to it, they’re well worth the price. Would definitely recommend. Loved my soundsports before these but like these a little more.

      We are thrilled you're enjoying the excellent sound and spectacular noise cancellation of your WF-1000XM5 earbuds! If you encounter any connectivity lag, try toggling the "Priority on Stable Connection" setting within the Sony Headphones Connect app. Thank you for the high recommendation and for choosing Sony.

    The sound is perfect. The size of headphones even with the case is not big. But because of the shape of the headphones and the way they are positioned in the case, they are difficult to take out and they can slip out of your hands.

    The clear choice if you have the money rn best earbuds you can get noice cancelation is great i did prefer the airpod pro 2 noise cancelation but sound is excellent plus the ability to adjust it the tap feature is good but i prefer airpod 2 controls but the tap you get use to it. Excellent quality and you can charge the earbuds in the case, u get a bit longer use on the go with no power source I also like the fit of the foam tips it has from ssmall to large you'll find your size, they won't easily fall out.

    I am a fan of customization and great sound. These earbuds are just that in a small package. They check all of the boxes for todays earbuds. Noise cancelling? Pass through audio? Adjustable EQ? Touch controls? Long battery life? Rechargeable case? Bass that rivals some over the ear headsets? AI driven personal EQ finder? All yes. Worth the investment to me.

    Love these! they connect and disconnect instantly upon taking them out/ putting them back in the case! the noise cancelling is super good and they sound amazing! I haven't even explored all the sound options in the app but they are extremely customizable! the only thing I would recommend is purchasing a locking case if you're clumsy like me. if you drop them they will go flying out of the case.

      Hi Xboxseries,


      We greatly appreciate your 5-star review of the WF-1000XM5 earbuds! It's fantastic to hear that you're experiencing way more comfort and that they don't fall out much, which is a significant improvement we aimed for with this model. We're also delighted that you find the sound quality great!

      We understand your desire for them to be "a bit louder." While we design our products to deliver optimal sound quality at safe listening levels, you can often adjust the volume directly on your connected device. Additionally, the Sony Sound Connect app offers an equalizer feature that allows you to customize the sound to your preferences, potentially giving you that extra boost you're looking for.

      Thank you for choosing Sony. Have a great day!

    They have a great sound quality like unlike any headphones or earbuds i've had especially with wireless headphones which have had issues in the past, long battery life and gracious connectivity only had issues with them like twice with connecting. The only complaint is I wish that they could get louder in volume because I like my music at a loud volume but otherwise they have served good so far.

    Recently switched from Jabra (loved most of their products) because BB doesn't carry them anymore. They fit well, have good sound but there are a few odd settings and non customizable button kayouts that would help me.enjoy this product better. Would love Jabra back but for now these will do.

    Best NC earbuds you can get. You can nod or shake your head to answer or not answer calls. Battery life is great, fast charging. Sound is remarkable for the size. Full EQ with the Sony app. Multipoint works perfectly. The touch controls kind of suck using volume but it is manageable

    Ive only had these about a month, but they have been pretty good. The noise canceling is pretty good ive had better, but not bad at all. I really like the touch controls on these ones. Basically never miss and they are in an ergonomic spot. They hold well and the foam pieces are pretty easy to clean. The case feels a little flimsy, but once i put the case in a protective case it feels super solid. Battery life is decent, but doesnt make it a full 8 hours. However they charge very quickly so it hasnt been an issue for me. They spund really good. Especially if you use the 360 sound stuff. Has an option for better audio quality using their bluetooth connection or regular. Sometimes at the gym the higher quality connection gets a bit spotty. Not sure if its because there are tons of bluetooth connections happening, but its easy to switch to the more stable connection.

      Hi JonnyJ,

      We are pleased to hear that you are enjoying the ergonomics, touch controls, and 360 Reality Audio on your WF-1000XM5 earbuds. Regarding the connection in high-traffic areas like the gym, we recommend using the "Priority on Stable Connection" setting in the Sony | Headphones Connect app to minimize interference. We also appreciate your feedback on the battery life and case design, and we're glad the quick-charging feature is keeping you powered throughout your day.

      Hi JadonF,
      Thanks for the review. We're so glad to hear you're loving the sound quality of your WF-1000XM5s.

      At the same time, we're really sorry to hear they aren't staying put. That can be super frustrating, especially when you're on the move. We'd recommend trying out the different sizes of earbud tips included in the box. Switching to a larger or smaller size can usually help find that "perfect fit" to keep them secure while you're working out.

      Hope that helps, and thanks again for sharing your thoughts with us!

      Thanks for considering Sony products.
