Love the sound not the style.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are amazing headphones and are of amazing quality. However they are not for me. The design with the glossy finish is a big no for me. They remind me of the old galaxy buds. They are slippery and feel like they're about to fall. Whitfield fel

The noise canceling helps him to only hear the music he plays and he doesn't hear the sound of the mower or weedeater!! He absolutely loves them

Not worth the price. XM4's were way better.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i find that the sound quality and fit of the WF1000XM4 are way better. The XM5 sporadically will stop playing on one ear, and then start playing again. This has not been fixed yet with a firmware update. This issue is very brief and only lasts less than 1 second. i also find myself always having to adjust the earbuds in my ear because they feel like they will fall out or the noise cancelation is not working correctly and i have tried different sized tips. Overall i dont like the XM5.

Posted .Hi JovanyT, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We're glad you like the sound quality and fit of the WF1000XM5. We're sorry to hear that you have an issue with the audio playback and noise canceling feature of your Sony unit. Please set the earbuds to “Priority on stable connection” using the Headphone Connect app. Disable Speak-to-Chat feature. The Speak-to-Chat mode starts automatically when you talk to someone. The headset pauses or mutes the music being played. It may sound like the sound skips when this occurs, but it is not a malfunction. Please follow this link for more details:

If the noise canceling effects are not sufficient, please follow this link to isolate the issue:

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:

Posted .Hi Pioneerelite,
Amazing! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality and dedicated app (Sony Headphones Connect) of the headphones. The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market. Noise reduction algorithms developed with AI machine learning suppress ambient noise and ensure the person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice clearly even in noisy situations. 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!

Upgrade worth making
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the older version of this kind of wireless / sport Sony headphones, and I was in need of an upgrade. Just getting older and worn out, nothing unexpected and purchased these. So glad I did. It’s almost as if Sony actually listened to consumers who reviewed the older model and this is the byproduct. Very pleased with the upgrade.
