Very Good Sounding Earbuds
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[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.

Beyond Impressed!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

A welcomed upgrade
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

No Competition
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Sony - WF1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Ear Buds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 4th pair of ear buds and the 1st to stay in my ears. The others kept falling out. The sound quality is all I had hoped for. Great producf.
I would recommend this to a friendIncredible battery, sound, and noise cancellation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Best ANC earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ANC is crazy good. The form fact is also great. you forget that you placed it in your ear after a short while
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .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!
Thank you for being part of the Sony community and for choosing us!

Good upgrade from XM4
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Noise cancellation is not good!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great! Everything I'd Expect
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Good buds
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to replace the foam tips with rubber ones. They just didnt seal right. After they were replaced, best earbuds I've had so far. The sound is deep and controls are easy. The noise canceling could be better but all in all, great earbuds
