Best Earbuds.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is incredible. Has different earpiece sizes for different size ears. It’s not the cheapest earphones out there or earbuds. I should say but it’s definitely worth every dollar sound quality like I said it’s superb. You can hear Hi-Rez audio if you listen to Hi-Rez quality music. These are gonna be the earbuds for you to hear the sounds that you never knew were there.

Nothing short of amazing sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You have got to get a pair of these earbuds. The difference between the WF1000XM4's and the XM5's is like nigt and day. The sound quality is nothing short of amazing. My only complaint is that pulling out the earbuds from the charging cradle is tricky because my hands slip on the earbuds because the finish is smooth instead of a matted finish.

MUST BUY FOR MUSIC LOVERS
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is superb compared to Apple AirPods Pro second gen. The mic quality on phone calls is lack luster but the noise canceling is much to blame for that. Noise cancelling while listening to music on the other hand is very good and blocks out most noises. The passive noise isolation is great with the foam ear tips as apposed to the silicone ones on the airpods, which gives you better seals

Love the sound not the style.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are amazing headphones and are of amazing quality. However they are not for me. The design with the glossy finish is a big no for me. They remind me of the old galaxy buds. They are slippery and feel like they're about to fall. Whitfield fel

Awesome sound quality

We are glad you appreciate the quality of our products! We understand that comfort and fit are crucial for enjoying the WF-1000XM5. For the best seal and stability, please ensure you have tested all four sizes of the noise-isolating earbud tips, as a snug fit is essential for both noise cancellation and preventing movement while talking or eating.
