    [Employee of bestbuy] 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!!!

    Noise cancelling works great! Comfortable in the ear but if I reposition them too many time my ear becomes sensitive. Perfect for phone calls. Absolutely worth the money.

      Thank you for your feedback on the WF-1000XM5, HaleyK! It’s great to hear that you find the noise-cancelling features effective and that the earbuds are comfortable during phone calls.

      However, we understand that ear sensitivity can be a concern with any earbud that requires adjustment to fit. It’s worth noting that the WF-1000XM5 comes with various earbud tip sizes, which can significantly affect comfort and fit.

      If you haven't done so already, we recommend trying out the different sizes included in the packaging to see if they help alleviate any sensitivity.

      If you experience any ongoing issues, please feel free to contact our customer service for assistance, and we would be happy to help.

      Thank you once again for your valuable input and choosing us!

      Best regards,

    I was looking for something better than Apple earbuds, and these received the best reviews on various websites. Compared to Apple Airbuds Pro, the Sony earbuds sound much better, with deeper, richer sound. They are very comfortable for longer wear, and excellent for long, hands-free calls. My one complaint - it took me a while to notice the small R and L on each earbud, Overall, they are consistent with the top reviews and a great choice if you're looking to upgrade

    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.

    Great Noise cancelling buds

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought these for the noise cancelling feature. I was going to be on a long flight and wanted to drown out the background noise. They worked tremendously for this purpose, my wife would say too well. The reason for missing a star is the voice to talk feature has its flaws if I cleared my throat it would react as if I was talking. Also when ear buds are in case my phone app would not recognize them so could not tell charge level until I took them out of the case.

    These earbuds work well. The sound is clear, and have various sizes of rubber covers that fit the ear. At first i had trouble getting them to stay in my ears. After changing the rubber piece, I got a better fit. I can walk, talk, and listen to music throughout the day without issue. Not sure these would work for rigorous activities, but they're perfect for ordinary, daily activities.

    The fit and sound for these are great, and both the buds and case are very attractive. I do find they have some weird connectivity issues. For example sometimes only one bud turns on when I take them both out of the case. And I found switching these between my phone and computer frustrating, often resulting in no sound. But I'd still probably buy them again.

    Better than the Predecessors. I have had the prior generation from Sony, going back to 2020, and this one is their best one. Battery life has improved significantly. Roughly 8 hours on ambient and another 8 to 12 with a case recharge. Faster recharged and i get let less complaints of static feedback. I only wear Sony. Sound quality is like wearing an audiophile set of cans.

    After weeks of use I can say I firmly enjoy these earbuds. Has a heavy equipment operator they are perfect with noise cancelling setting and have great audio while lasting just long enough for a full days work. The only complaint i could say is they would be a little more comfy if they were just a tad lighter. Overall great product.

    [Employee of bestbuy] I’ve always struggled to find earbuds that stay in my ear. Sony’s WF1000XM5 have, by far, been the best set of earbuds I have ever tried. While wearing them in bed, I had fallen asleep with them in by accident and in the morning when I woke up they were still in my ear! I’ve never had that luxury before. Best part was they weren’t even close to falling out. That paired with the amazing noise canceling and superb sound quality, they have easily beaten any earbuds I’ve tried!

    I don't usually write product reviews, but I am truly impressed with my earbuds. I use them for 6-8 hours every day, and the battery life continues to amaze me. I work outdoors in all kinds of weather, and they have never let me down.The most remarkable experience was during a tornado that knocked down hundreds of trees. At 11:30 at night, I was called out to shut off a natural gas well that had been hit by a tree. I climbed over what felt like a hundred trees in the dark, battling heavy rain and branches. It took nearly an hour to complete what would normally be a five-minute walk.During my trek back, a branch knocked out my right earbud. I searched for it with a flashlight for ten minutes before giving up. Two weeks later, while clearing debris, a coworker found the earbud on the ground. I was astonished. I put it back in the case, doubting it would charge or work. An hour later, it was back to a full charge and playing music perfectly.My coworker was so impressed he bought a pair the next day.
