    I had the previous model and liked those and these simply improved on a great set. I tried the Bose and disagree with those who say the ANC is better on Bose. I think the foam earpads add passive NC that puts this above other options including the Google Buds Pro with added foam pads. Sound quality is the best. I get feedback that the mic isnt the best but i live in NYC where noise is everywhere and everyone complains regardless of what earbuds im on.

    I bought these to use under a flight helmet as extra noise canceling and for music. Having bought the over ear version about a year ago I was not surprised that they are a great headphone and have really good all around sound. The noise canceling is also really good considering they are not over the ear, something i would have to chaulk up to the foam like padding they have instead of rubber. 100% would recomend this product.

    Excellent sound quality, it is well balanced all around. However, the app is very complicated to navigate! It has way too many features. The worst part about the the design is the shiny material that they use for the earbuds. It is very slippery when you try to remove them from the case and even harder when you try to remove them from your ears. I really hate that part.

      Hi Alex,

      We're truly delighted that you are enjoying the superb audio quality of your WF-1000XM5. We're sorry you've been running into difficulty using the Headphones Connect app and you find the glossy texture make them harder to remove from the charging case. The WF-1000XM5 earbuds feature an improved, glossy texture and more luxurious feel that fit comfortably in your ears while keeping out external sounds. By downsizing the earbud body and optimizing the placement of the components, the earbud is now approximately 25% smaller and 20% lighter than the WF-1000XM4.

      For more on "Benefits for using Sony | Headphones Connect app", please refer to this link.

    The Sony XM5 earbuds have the best quality sounds from any wireless earbud to find their way into my ear canals. Out of the box, I've had issues with the ambient sound control, something I really appreciate in public spaces. Concurrent updates to the earbuds seem to have improved the issue, but it is one note worthy of discussing.
