    Good sound, good pairing and features but may not fit all ears. Came from the AirPods Pro and those feel more comfortable but I feel that the Sonys deliver better sound and battery life.

    These Sony earbuds are truly the best, the fit and comfort along with the noise canceling are great. I like how I can walk away more than 30ft from my phone and its still connected

    These actually stay in my ears the entire time without me having to constantly reseat them or them falling out, and they're comfortable. A bit pricey, but it has a ton of great features and they stay in place.

    I would encourage to try them in-store first... The sound quality is good in a controlled environment, but for activities and plane travel not so good in my opinion. I bought these after using the Sony WH-1000XM5 over-ear headphones. I wanted a more portable option. Unfortunately these will not fit my ears well. At home I tried all ear cup options that came with it, and also bought an after market version. After finding the best fit and wearing them at home (still concerned with them falling out), I traveled with them. On the plane they kept falling out after 15-20 minutes. Then touching them causes the controls to kick-in. I finally disabled the touch controls, and had to keep pushing them in. Even with tight fit after pushing in, the noise canceling is not near the quality of the Sony WH-1000XM5. I know it won't match an over-the ear style, but was quite disappointed overall. For plane travel now I will only use the Sony WH-1000XM5.

      Hi geo530x,

      We're glad to hear you're enjoying the fantastic sound quality of your WF-1000XM5 earbuds, and we understand your frustration with the fit.

      To help with the issue, we highly recommend trying the different sizes of ear tips included in the box. A proper fit is essential for both comfort and sound. Also, be sure to use the Sony | Headphones Connect app's "Optimal Earbud Tips" feature, as it can help you find the best size for your ears to ensure a secure and stable fit.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,

    Truly unbelievable noise cancelling. I take the train every day in Manhattan, and half the time I forget that I'm even on a train. The bass is fantastic too, especially with the Sony headphones app. It's so good that I sold my over ear XM4's because I don't really need them anymore.

    I did a lot of research on the best audio quality earbuds with ANC features before I finally settled on these. I'm a bit of an audiophile, and these earbuds give me exactly what I'm looking for. It's an experience using them and I have specific playlists just for when I listen with these. Not to mention the noise cancelling is pretty darn good. These earbuds are costly, yes, but in my opinion, they are worth every penny. Not to mention the FEATURES that come with it!! So many things you can do through the Sony app that is paired with your earbuds. I love love love them and will recommend it to anyone.

      Hi TylerG, we're glad you like the sound quality and noise canceling feature of the product. We're sorry to hear that had an issue with the earbud tips of your Sony unit. We really wished we could turn your opinion around regarding our WF1000XM5. It is recommended to change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The most suitable size of the earbud tips for left and right ears may be different.

      We have our Support team that is always happy to assist. You may email us anytime at socialsupport@am.sony.com
