    Fits well, anc is pretty good. Right ear bud and charging case barely hold charge anymore. Too expensive for only another half a year to get a new set.

    I'm on my second pair of these since I used the others so much the battery started to give out. They are the best wireless earbuds I've used and I've used quite a few different ones. I love that they can connect to two devices at once and seemlessly switch back and forth.

      Thank you for sharing this incredible review, Seeman245!

      We are absolutely thrilled and honored to hear that the WF-1000XM5 earbuds are the best wireless earbuds you have used, and that you loved your previous pair enough to purchase them again when the battery eventually gave out! That kind of loyalty is the highest compliment we can receive.

      We are especially glad that you are benefiting from the multipoint connection feature, which allows you to seamlessly switch between two connected devices—a capability we prioritized for maximizing convenience.

      Thank you again for your strong endorsement and for consistently choosing Sony!

      Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team sony-global

      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!

    Takes a bit of time getting used to the ear tips, but the sound isolation is phenomenal. This is before you even kick on the ANC. LDAC tends to cut out audio from time to time, but i prefer crisp clear audio over connection if I have to choose. Happens far less often when theres fewer wireless devices nearby.
