    Decent feature set, but I don't use any of it. I bought these for sound quality, didn't mean my expectations. Still have yet to find a pair of bids that meet my sound quality expectations.

      Hello Cudeech,

      Thank you for choosing Sony.

      It brings us great joy to hear that you appreciate the decent feature set of the WF-1000XM5. We sincerely apologize that the sound quality did not live up to your personal expectations—we know that is the most important factor.

      To enhance your listening experience, we recommend trying the equalizer feature in the Sony | Sound Connect app, which allows you to customize sound to your personal preference.

      You can find detailed instructions here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00286844.

      If the issue persists, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team for advanced troubleshooting. All contact options and resources are available here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones.

    Its an excellent product, perfect sounding and great in build noise cancellation. But the downside is it slipped off your hear if you move around too much or if the bass beat sound is too loud. Overall I think its a good product.

    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.

    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?
