    [Employee of bestbuy] These earbuds really surprised me with the sound quality and bass, coming from the AirPods Pro 1st Gen this is a huge imrpovement in both those aspects. If you’re a basshead defintely consider these earbuds, the only area they fall behind in is noise cancellation, its not the best but not bad either. Overall very solid pair of earbuds so far.

For total convenience, the WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously so, when a call comes in, your headphones can automatically connect to the right one. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these headphones – so you can keep moving to the music. Thank you for choosing Sony!

    These buds are probably the best purchase ive made for myself in a long time. The fitment options are incredible and i love the soft foam. Silicone earbuds usually fall out but these stay firmly in place, long enough to be forgotten about! The noise cancelling feature works so well and the audio quality is second to none. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a new set of buds!

    Honestly? These are a nice upgrade over the XM4s. The dual connection works almost seamlessly between my S23 Ultra and Tab s8 Ultra. The smaller size sits more comfortable in my ears which has been a pain point for me from the weight of the XM4s. These XM5s have great sound quality, really cool features with Google Assistant as well as nodding your head to answer calls, or shaking your head to decline calls. Don't let the glossy plastic finish fool you, these aren't cheap at all. I've been on the hunt for a good set of daily drivers and I have finally found it.

    I've had quite a few brands, Samsung, Jabra, Bose, Anker, etc. These by far blow everything I've had out of the water. The battery life is incredible, call quality is great, sound quality is awesome and tweaking the equalizer on the app really helps with bass. Overall I'm very impressed. Time will tell how long they hold up, as they get daily, all day use.

    Can't ask for much more. They are comparable to my wh xm4s (the headphones). I'd say they have less bass but still are in the same league. Ever since I've gotten these, I've used my headphones less just for the incredible comfort. I've never had battery problems (especially with how convenient it is to wirelessly charge them) and I've dropped them on concrete before with no issues.

      It's wonderful to hear that you find the ANC on the WF-1000XM5 impressive, Dhakadelphia! Many users have shared similar sentiments, noting that it effectively reduces outside noise, creating an immersive listening experience. The innovative design and comfortable fit make them easy to wear for extended periods, almost making you forget they're in your ears.

      Additionally, the foam ear tips significantly enhance noise isolation and overall sound quality.

      We appreciate your thoughts on both aspects and hope you continue to enjoy your listening experience!

    Sound and NC seem largely the same but the change in size and fit are dramatically better for me. I use my XM4s a lot, waited a long time since other reviews said they were the same but worth a shot if you get them on sale. I barely notice they are in and they still have a solid seal. TBD on battery life.

    Bought these for work and the gym. The sound quality is very good, however, I do not find the noise canceling to be good at all. I’ve tried all the different sized ear pieces and nothing seems to help. When in a meeting it almost seems to amplify outside noises more than quiet them. Other than the noise canceling issues these have been very good.

    They work great. High quality sound, excellent battery life, superfast charge, great noise cancelling. The call quality is exactly the same as other brands ive tried (normal, but muffles at times.) as is the 'super advanced better than anyone elses' 360 audio... i couldnt tell the difference. The case if very slippery. I can confirm that they are sweat resistant as i sweat buckets at my job while using them.
