    This are very good earbuds, but not totally great. Getting a good seal not automatic, and mic picks up quite a bit of room noise.

      Hi Beammeeup, thank you for sharing your honest feedback! It is most rewarding to hear that you find the Sony - WF1000XM5 to be very good overall! With their industry-leading noise cancellation, rich sound quality, and intelligent adaptive features, they're built to elevate your listening experience. We also understand that getting the right fit can make a big difference, especially when it comes to noise isolation and call quality. If you haven't already, we highly recommend trying out the different sizes of ear tips included in the box, a proper seal not only improves comfort, but also enhances both noise cancellation and mic performance by reducing external interference. We appreciate your thoughts and thank you for choosing Sony! Best regards, -Dominick Sony_US

    Great earbuds except for the fact that you can’t really track them on IPhone and have to directly get an entire accessory just to find them. This all leads to the fact that they are expensive, which you would think they would have a good way to track them.

    [Employee of bestbuy] I personally dont find these a steep up from the xm4. However, not a downgrade either. My xm4 was starting to not hold a full charge, and i needed a new pair. The Sony music app held my settings, so setup was easy. Om not a fan of 360 audio or any of that so eq is all i need to get set up personally .the pass through voice festure is a grest piece of tech and does a grest job telling voices from noise in most environments.

    They sound very good and good noise cancel -- not as good as some review say. They seem to be a bit better, but not much than my linkbuds that wore out (and were way less $$). Seems these are a bit better on noise cancel, and without comparing the links side by side I have to say they sound nearly the same. I'm not blown away by the 'upgrade' I did. Not disappointed either. Indfiferent lol.
