These are some of the best ear buds I’ve ever used they sound better than a lot of headphones I’ve used, the active noise canceling is really good (just make sure you have the right tips in) and the pass through sounds so good too definitely a game changer, something I’ll be looking for on all future earbuds I purchase

I love theses tons sometimes i get an odd like disconnecting sound but its never a big deal. Not sure why it does it maybe its the switch to noise canceling or something but the sound quality is really amazing and for someone who listens to at least 100 hrs of music a week these were an amazing purchase

I hope the battery is better than the XM4s

I had the XM4’s and they were great until the battery worked fine and then abruptly would last for 15-20 minutes. Sooo, as long as these last longer than 18 months, I will be happier. No drastic improvement from the sound quality from the 4s but I am also not an audiophile.
With that said, I prefer these over the Apple products, Bose and Jaybirds.
While we are thrilled to hear your satisfaction with the amazing performance of your WF-1000XM5, we are really sorry if you are experiencing an issue with the battery on your WF-1000XM4. This is certainly not the news we'd like to hear from you. We'd love to know more about the problem you're having and help you out.

Sony keeps improving their WF earphones! I had the XM4, and now the XM5, and both are awesome! I use the XM5 for everything, including workingout. They do not fall out and the noise canceling is the best that I've tried! Yes, they are a bit expensive, but it's rather spend good money on good quality.
Awesome, iamartimus! We're glad you are happy with your earphones. Enjoy and thanks for choosing Sony! -Craig

The sound quality beats anything else. Only gripe is when ANC is on and your running, there is like an echo or thump noise you can hear. Turn off ANC and it stops. The app took some getting used to but works very well.
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the WF1000XM5. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about the app and noise canceling function is greatly appreciated.
When using the headset, you may hear vibrations transmitted through your body while walking or running, and you may also hear biological sounds such as heartbeats and breathing sounds. This may occur due to the nature of the product and is not a malfunction. When the noise canceling function or Ambient Sound Mode is turned on, vibrations from walking, running, or shaking of the head may be transmitted through the body, and be heard as rattling or popping noises. This may occur due to the nature of the product and is not a malfunction. You may also find this link helpful:
That's fantastic to hear! We're thrilled you're loving the Sony WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones and that both the sound and noise canceling are hitting the mark for you.
We appreciate your honest feedback on the size. While we've worked to make the XM5's more compact than previous models, we understand that "bulky" can be subjective and vary with individual ear sizes. It's great to know that despite this, you still love them overall!
Thank you for your 5-star review! We're delighted you love them overall. Thanks for choosing Sony! DiegoV

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.
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.
Thanks for the review and the 5-stars rating! We are really happy to hear how much you are enjoying your Sony Earbuds' amazing Sound quality and the top-technology Noise Cancelling feature!

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
