Good but don't use the largest earpieces
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I love Sony products, including this product, the battery life is very short lived and the largest earpieces prevent the proper seating of the buds in the case, so they don't charge. I realize technology is constantly being updated so hopefully better battery technology will help with the battery life.... but Sony...honestly, what's with the design flaw around the case fit?

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. 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!

Great sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Personally I have been used lots of headphones, I love the sound quality and the noise cancelation is almost deafening, I love how I can customize the EQ, but my one issue with this headphone is microphone quality is sub-par. I have many people complain about my microphone during calls, and it forces me to change to speaker mode.

Fantastic noise canceling earbuds.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had these earbuds for several weeks and have been pleased with my purchase. I went to a concert the music was not my jam. I popped in the earbuds and had my own personal concert while the rest of my group enjoyed the music. The buds filtered out the sound fron the concert but not the feel from the base. It was unbelievable how well the noise canceling worked. I would recommend these earbuds if money is not a concern.

Excellent sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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.

Amazing sound quality, issues with ambient control
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

One of the best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are one of the best earbuds if not the best for noise counseling... the sound quality is great too...my only problem is if you move your head too fast it gives like a distortion sound when listening to music. That to me is a little irritating... but other than that these are superb earbuds if you can look past that problem
