Good earbuds.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not ANC fan but sound quality. This gets my approval for sound quality. I deducted it one (1) star because it keeps popping out from my ears even with the correct tips.

Awesome sound quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony always make the best quality products, though you won't enjoy them if you don't have big ear holes. And they might fall out when you talking or eating.

Posted .HI ChristianG,
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.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,

Over exaggerated ANC
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been waiting for these for about a week now. Sound is excellent up until the software update. They sound low now & don’t get me started with the eartips. They dont even reach my ear entrance to have a snuggle fit. I’ve tried all tips & even went as far as trying out the ear fit tester on the app. They all say 100% tight fit minus the ss size. The case itself feels cheap like cardboard & is scratched easily . Im giving it 3 stars only based on the aduio qaulity before the software update. If i were you id wait until the price drops. Will be returning mine tomorrow

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is absolutely amazing. Paired with my S21 Ultra the Ldac is next level, coming from a $70 pair of SOUNDCORE. I do wish they kept the matte finish on the buds themselves, but had no problems after picking the right ear tips. The app is great once you get through the 20 minutes of updates and setup.

Newest version of Sony's earbuds is Great.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Smaller is better for a change. The case and earbuds are better than the previous version. They are a little slick when removing from the case, so maybe a matte finish would be better. Other than that... they're great.
