Just ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound but very difficult to maneuver. Most of the time the app Sound Connect doesn’t link with the EarPods.

Posted .Thanks for your review, GloriaL.
It's great to hear that the sound quality is appreciated! The WF-1000XM5 is known for its exceptional audio performance, which enhances the listening experience.
For the issues with connectivity and navigating the Sound Connect app. This situation can prevent them from easily switching to a paired device. In such cases, it is often recommended to adjust the Bluetooth settings on the device or manually switch connections through the device’s Bluetooth settings menu.
Additionally, ensuring that the Sound Connect app is updated to the latest version can help resolve functionality issues. It's advisable to check for updates and, if required, initialize the headphones after the update.
If persistent issues occur, switching the connection from LE Audio to Classic Audio mode in the Sound Connect app may resolve some of the problems experienced with call connectivity or app linking.
If these steps do not improve the situation, further troubleshooting or contacting customer support may be necessary.

Posted .Hi Dino,
Perfect! We're glad that you are enjoying the comfort and noise canceling function 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!

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are by far my favorite headphones I have ever had over the last 20 years. I would say I had tried most if not all headphones on the market and these are the best in terms of audio sounds and keeping noise out with their noise blocking technology.

Amazing!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Previously had the XM4 earbuds and loved them, although they were a bit bulky. I wasn't sure how they could be better, but the XM5 earbuds are vastly impoved for sound, call clarity and noise cancelling. I used these on a work call in my running diesel and another at a McDonald's with talking and loud music in the background and none of the noise was noticable by others on the calls.
