Ear buds
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These replaced the previous version, which stopped working. They are a little bigger and have more features. One thing that happens too often is that the connection between the phone and earbuds breaks. Then when the phone rings, I have to reconnect the earbuds while the person waits. I use these mostly to listen to the TV when not on the phone.

Very good, but not loud enough
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall these are very good. The noice cancelling is top notch, the sound quality is great. My only issue is they don’t actually get very loud. Could be me going deaf, but I don’t think so

Great and Stylish Earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect earbuds except for the feature to hear ambient noise (someone speaking) clearly and for typing/texting hands free. For example, when someone is speaking to you it is not as clear as when you are not using the earbuds. And when speaking into the earbuds to negate typing text, it sometimes does reflect the expected words well. But an overall great experience and in my opinion, very stylish compared to Apple Earbuds and all other available offerings.

Posted .Hi AngelA,
Perfect! We're glad that you like the noise canceling function, comfort, and weight 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!

Small, Mighty, but not the best
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely a lot smaller and more comfortable than the previous buds, but it does lack some punch as the previous had. You can tweak with the levels, but feel the older bigger ones had better sound. These are super comfortable!

Posted .Hi TorresG,
Thanks for commenting. While we are thrilled to know about your satisfaction with the amazing sound quality of your WF-1000XM5, we are really sorry you're experiencing Bluetooth connection issues while your headphones are placed in the charging case. This is certainly not the news we'd like to hear from you. To avoid this problem, please ensure that your headphones are placed correctly into the charging case so they turn off automatically. Place the left headset unit (the one with the tactile dot) back into the left hole of the charging case, and place the right headset unit back into the right hole of the charging case. Each headset unit will be positioned correctly in the charging case due to the built-in magnet. You may also try cleaning the contact points on the charging case and earbud headphones to further troubleshoot the issue. For more details, please refer to the following links:
