Good ..... but not worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound seems good. But connectivity and noise cancellation isn't great for that price point and support app is not great.

Thank you for considering Sony products.
We’re honored to hear your comments and sincerely apologize for the connectivity and noise cancellation challenges you’ve encountered with the WF1000XM5 earbuds. We also appreciate your recognition of the sound quality, which is important to us.

Nothing short of amazing sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You have got to get a pair of these earbuds. The difference between the WF1000XM4's and the XM5's is like nigt and day. The sound quality is nothing short of amazing. My only complaint is that pulling out the earbuds from the charging cradle is tricky because my hands slip on the earbuds because the finish is smooth instead of a matted finish.

Posted .Hi SaraR,
That's fantastic to hear! We're thrilled you're loving the Sony WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones and that both the sound and noise canceling are hitting the mark for you.
We appreciate your honest feedback on the size. While we've worked to make the XM5's more compact than previous models, we understand that "bulky" can be subjective and vary with individual ear sizes. It's great to know that despite this, you still love them overall!
Thank you for your 5-star review! We're delighted you love them overall. Thanks for choosing Sony!

Great buds if you leave them in.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is very good on them. The foam tips have a bad tendency to rips with repeated use. These are ideal if you leave your buds in for a long time. the sound cancellation is great. But they are pretty bad if you pop them in and out for calls a lot.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are some of the best ear buds I’ve ever used they sound better than a lot of headphones I’ve used, the active noise canceling is really good (just make sure you have the right tips in) and the pass through sounds so good too definitely a game changer, something I’ll be looking for on all future earbuds I purchase

Good Overall
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent feature set, but I don't use any of it. I bought these for sound quality, didn't mean my expectations. Still have yet to find a pair of bids that meet my sound quality expectations.

Excellent sound and build quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality beats anything else. Only gripe is when ANC is on and your running, there is like an echo or thump noise you can hear. Turn off ANC and it stops. The app took some getting used to but works very well.

Posted .Hi ChristopherC,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about the app and noise canceling function is greatly appreciated.
When using the headset, you may hear vibrations transmitted through your body while walking or running, and you may also hear biological sounds such as heartbeats and breathing sounds. This may occur due to the nature of the product and is not a malfunction. When the noise canceling function or Ambient Sound Mode is turned on, vibrations from walking, running, or shaking of the head may be transmitted through the body, and be heard as rattling or popping noises. This may occur due to the nature of the product and is not a malfunction. You may also find this link helpful:

The best that I've tried
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony keeps improving their WF earphones! I had the XM4, and now the XM5, and both are awesome! I use the XM5 for everything, including workingout. They do not fall out and the noise canceling is the best that I've tried! Yes, they are a bit expensive, but it's rather spend good money on good quality.

I hope the battery is better than the XM4s
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the XM4’s and they were great until the battery worked fine and then abruptly would last for 15-20 minutes. Sooo, as long as these last longer than 18 months, I will be happier. No drastic improvement from the sound quality from the 4s but I am also not an audiophile. With that said, I prefer these over the Apple products, Bose and Jaybirds.
