Alright
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly the only reason why I bought these is because my previous model died on me. I dont think the active noise cancelation is all that great. Unless my music is real loud i still here everything thats around me. The earbuds are comfortable but wait untill these are on sale if you can

Posted .Hi Andrew,
We’re sorry to hear your experience about the active noise cancellation with the WF1000XM5 earbuds. To get the most out of noise cancelling, make sure the earbuds create a secure fit in your ear—adjusting the ear tip size can really help. It’s also a good idea to check if noise cancelling is set to its highest level trough the Sony Sound Connect app. As well, a firmware update might be needed, which you can confirm in the Sony Sound Connect app, you can find more information in the following link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-1000xm5/software/00296561 If you’re still hearing a lot of background noise, gently cleaning the earbud microphones may also improve performance.
Thank you for considering Sony products.
Best regards
DiegoV.

Amazing Quality Earbuds, Fitment was not for me
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to be fair when reviewing this product. These earbuds are amazing. The quality and features alone stand out among competitors. However, I did have issues with fitment. I tried all of the provided ear tips but the never fit well enough and this is a larger issue for me cause I wanted to use them while working out with as well. I am not a fan of the memory foam type ear tips so I did return them and tried out the Bose which had better fitment but did notice that the Sony buds had better sound quality and loudness.

Posted .Hi Nick,
Thanks for sharing your 5-star review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you were not satisfied with its fit and design. For optimum fit and comfort, it is recommended to wear the headphones properly. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The most suitable size of the earbud tips for left and right ears may be different. The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app also helps you determine which earbud tips suit you best to achieve the optimal noise canceling effect, sound quality, etc.
Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

The WF-1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market.

They are smaller than You might think !!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.EveryThing about these WF1000xm5's is very well done. There is no option, tweaking, or setting that was not appreciated !!! Only one slight issue: They are way smaller than You would think. Easy to drop when handling them in and out, of your ears or the charging case. I repeat: EveryThing else about these Buds is Industry Leading and ahead of the competition. Just go ahead and purchase them, You will not be sorry.

Posted .Hi FloridaMan,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the battery life, sound quality, and charging case of the headphones. Your feedback about the Ambient Sound function of the headphones is greatly appreciated.
For optimum performance, make sure to install the latest software version of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app). You can also adjust the settings of the Ambient Sound Mode (via the Sony app) depending on your needs. Voice focus: Unwanted noise will be suppressed while announcements or people’s voices are picked up, allowing you to hear them as you listen to music.
Note: Depending on the ambient conditions and the type/volume of audio playback, ambient sounds may not be heard even when using the Ambient Sound Mode. Do not use the headset in places where it would be dangerous if you are unable to hear ambient sounds, such as on a road with car and bicycle traffic.
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.

Good quality headphones, but not worth the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones have good sound quality, and a lot of bonus features that allow you to customize your experience. But at the end of the day, they are headphones and bonus features can only add so much. For $100 less, there are headphones with similar sound quality and less connectivity problems. These would be 5 star headphones at $130 dollars, but they don’t give enough of a noticeable quality increase to be 5 stars at $230.

Great earbuds! not for bass lovers
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony's were my first step into high end, feature rich earbuds. Overall a quality set and the ANC and transparency modes worked well but I returned them because I prefer a stronger sub bass and overall oomph in the lower frequencies. Not ideal for bass lovers. Moved onto JBLs and am happy
