Sony WF1000XM5 True Wireless Bluetooth Noise Canceling Earbuds - Silver

The best in-ear buds by FAR!
Absolutely brilliant audio and noise cancelling, purchased these to replace some linkbuds that had dying batteries and was immediately impressed with the difference in quality. The tips are a nice firm foam based style which stay stuck inside your ears much better than the rubber ones. Build quality is excellent with really firm magnets in the case holding the earphones firmly inside. Charging for just 10 minutes easily gives you an hour or so listening. Very happy with purchase

Apalling noise cancellation!
Apalling noise cancellation! Even with this on I can hear all outside noise, particularly in the gym. This in no way matches my older galaxy buds pro, or jabra active 8... !! !!

It's not too bad
It's good, but I expected better noise cancellation.

Quite disappointing
I am quite disappointed with the earbuds. I've read that they are an improvement to the previous ones, the best yet. Well, they aren't. I have the linkbuds S and they are better in every aspect: fitting, noise cancelling, comfort of using. I needed new earphones because after 2 years the battery in one of the earpieces died and didn't hold for more than 10 minutes. Which, I now read, is very common in Sony devices. The WF1000xm5 are big, bulky and they stick out of the ears a lot. They have these weird ear tips made of some kind of foam and they seem to fit, but don't feel secure in the ear. Also, an important thing for me, in the linkbuds I used the long press to change the volume, in the new ones I have to tap like crazy to change the volume and very often instead of that it changes song or stops the music etc. Nonsense. The long press now is for the virtual assistant, which I switched off straight away and won't use it, so why can't there be an option in the settings to change the long press for volume? I had to turn on the adaptive sound control and set all the options there to noise cancelling, because if I just turned it off and set the earbuds to noise cancelling it would turn off every time I put the earbuds in the case and then I had to open the app to turn the noise cancelling on when using them again. I also noticed that they sometimes don't hold the Bluetooth connection and the sound breaks. I would expect much better for this price, and I am just comparing it to the old Sony earbuds that this one is supposed to be an improvement to. Sony, please stop "improving" stuff that doesn't need to be improved and concentrate on the things that need it, like the battery life. I regret not trying earphones from other brands instead. They were very expensive, I can't return them anymore and can't afford to buy different ones. I have a Sony phone so I thought Sony earbuds would work best with it, but it looks like just a mistake. After so many years of being a Sony fan and buying all Sony devices from TVs to phones etc, I think it's time to switch to different brands, because all of this is just a huge disappointment and not worth the money.

Not bad
Bought on recommendation, sound very good though not 100% convinced by noise cancelling, buds do seem to fall out of ears easily (maybe I have big ear canals!).

Some good some bad
I´ve been using my WF-1000XM5 earbuds for 1 year+ and they have very good sound quality, I´ll say some pros and cons. Con 1: They only come with foam tips, these tips irretate my ears skin, Had to switch, so I use the silicone tips from the XM3 earbuds, cause they don´t irritate my skin so sadly I have less noice canceling. Con 2: When i put them in the case there is no indicator for each earbud, so sometimes one charges while the other does not. Con 3: Compared to some other earbuds the 8 hour playtime is not the longest. while others can last up to and beyond 18 hours. Pro 1: They have ambient sound, And the noice canceling is good. (Altough I don´t get the best noice canceling cause of the foam.) Pro 2: Comfortable in the ears and don´t stick out too much, so they stay inn without falling out while running. Pro 3: They have very good sound quality, when listening to music and phonecalls. Pro 4: Fast charging times when the earbuds are inn the case.
