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.

Pricey - but very probably worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best headphones I have ever used in terms of sound quality and noise cancellation. Whether I listening to music or watching a movie the sound is excellent. Using them on an airplane, the noise cancellation was excellent it reduces the sound of the aircraft to a nearly inaudible buzz. My one and only complaint is the fit of these earbuds. I think the most comfortable earbuds I've ever bought were jaybird, but their most recent entry into earbuds had some inexcusable issues. If Sony would improve the comfort and fit of their earbuds this would be the best earbud on the planet. I'm still giving these earbuds five stars because after a month of using these earbuds I've gotten used to the way they fit. I still think the fit could be better, but these fit passably well.

Sony made the best earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are the best earbuds that I have owned. Very impressed with noise canceling and clarity. I was at the gym and they were pumping music. I got a call and I answered the phone. The earbuds quickly switched to the call and had a quick conversation and then hung up. Noise canceling worked so good the caller never heard the music playing in the gym. Walking on a windy day down a sidewalk and had a conversation on the phone without any trouble. Different style music play well anywhere. Music automatically stops when responding to someone in a conversation is amazing. If you're listening to music the music stops and you can begin to have a conversation. Once the earbuds know you have stopped talking then the music will begin to play. I really like this feature.

Great headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound, good pairing and features but may not fit all ears.
