Excellent sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality, it is well balanced all around. However, the app is very complicated to navigate! It has way too many features. The worst part about the the design is the shiny material that they use for the earbuds. It is very slippery when you try to remove them from the case and even harder when you try to remove them from your ears. I really hate that part.

Posted .Hi Alex,
We're truly delighted that you are enjoying the superb audio quality of your WF-1000XM5. We're sorry you've been running into difficulty using the Headphones Connect app and you find the glossy texture make them harder to remove from the charging case. The WF-1000XM5 earbuds feature an improved, glossy texture and more luxurious feel that fit comfortably in your ears while keeping out external sounds. By downsizing the earbud body and optimizing the placement of the components, the earbud is now approximately 25% smaller and 20% lighter than the WF-1000XM4.

I've tried a number and these are my favorite.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the previous model and liked those and these simply improved on a great set. I tried the Bose and disagree with those who say the ANC is better on Bose. I think the foam earpads add passive NC that puts this above other options including the Google Buds Pro with added foam pads. Sound quality is the best. I get feedback that the mic isnt the best but i live in NYC where noise is everywhere and everyone complains regardless of what earbuds im on.

Not for Apple users
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried several different brands which include Bose, Sony, Apple, Jabra… I was looking forward to the Sony’s, but I felt they fell short. NC auto on/off switching gets a bit annoying (cough, sneeze, yawn, etc. triggers it). Noise cancellation could be better (I feel the iPod Pro’s did a better job). I even switched out the ear tips for some Comfy foam ones (did the same for the iPod Pro’s). Didn’t help. Thought maybe it’s something else, until I took a flight and thought the NC wasn’t turned on (it was). Sound wise, I do enjoy a bit more bass than the Apple’s. A nice part is, I’m able to sleep better with these than the Apple ones. I think the stem hits the pillows. Getting them out of the case is sketchy as it feels like you could drop them (they seem more slippery due to the gloss surface). Pretty slippery when trying to get them out versus the Apple, Bose or Jabra. Changing the volume by clicking 4 times is basically useless. One last thing, you have to ensure the earbuds seat completely in the case, or it won’t charge. So, even though it’s magnetic I still have to add slight pressure until the light starts blinking.

Great Quality Headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to use under a flight helmet as extra noise canceling and for music. Having bought the over ear version about a year ago I was not surprised that they are a great headphone and have really good all around sound. The noise canceling is also really good considering they are not over the ear, something i would have to chaulk up to the foam like padding they have instead of rubber. 100% would recomend this product.
