HORRIBLE EAR BUDS
Absolutely the worst ear buds I've ever owned. The fact that I have to stop my work out 5x in a hour to reconnect them to my phone is absurd. Freaking hate these so much. Never again

Great sound, a couple frustrating quirks
Bought about 4 months ago, and pretty disappointed with some things for $250. Sometimes they won't turn on when I pull them out of the case, which isn't a critical error but happens enough to be frustrating. I also don't like the way the ear tips work, the wax filter in one of mine is already coming out and I haven't been able to find anywhere that has replacements. I've also noticed some issues when trying to connect to my computer while they're connected to my phone. Sometimes they just restart, sometimes the sound comes through very distorted and low quality, and sometimes it works. Sound quality and bass response is great, but those few things really irk me, especially for the price .

Only one issue, replacement tips.
I love these headphones but I'm having trouble finding replacement tips that are the original foam ones, if anyone can help with finding them that would be great?

CONSTANTLY DISCONNECTS FROM MY PHONE
Constantly disconnecting from my phone and skipping/stuttering sound. I know that this is an issue with the earbuds and not my phone because othwr bluetooth devices have no issues. The sound quality is not blowing my mind for this high price. Very disappointed and dissatisfied.

Poor battery life and cust support
I have the predecessors. If these are anything like it don't expect the battery life to go beyond 2 yrs and there little support after....consider them disposable.

Improvements needed.
Note, Ive had WF4 snd 5 for a couple years now.
For pros: the sound quality is nice and the general feel of the earbuds are comfy.
Cons: theres a big issue with the typical usage of the buds. More often than not, one of the buds goes “offline” where itll play music but the touch functions stop working as it doesnt register them. Then after a while the bud will go dark and not play music at all. I constantly have to put them back into the case to “resync” them. It’s extremely annoying. Id say the noise cancelling could also be a bit better.

Absolutely love the WF-1000XM5
These are some of the best sounding ear buds I have used, they’re comfortable and hold a very long charge when in use. I have to play with them a bit more to find out all of its features but as of right now I’m very happy with the product.

Best Overall Noise Cancellation
I’ve had these headphones for almost a month and I’ll take them over the Airpods Pro and I even have an iPhone. Don’t get me wrong the Airpods Pro hold up but Sony headphones have a better overall performance & quality into the headphones. Guides you to what’s the best suggested apps to use for best audio quality for your headphones. I really enjoy them a lot, including the audio automatically adjusting to your surroundings whatever room you go into. Also good for parents for when you’re not tryna have the noise cancellation or for when you are ^_^

Excellent. I love these. Except....
I love these earbuds. Great sound and noise cancelling. But do NOT clean the foam nibs with an Alcohol prep pad because they DISINTEGRATE! Mine were ruined and I need to get more.

Quality doesn't quite measure up to Apple's
I bought these to replace my 1st gen airpods pro since i had heard the sound quality was better than Apple's. While the sound was good (and i do like the ability to change EQ) a lot of the little things do not measure up. The case feels flimsy and breakable. Switching between paired devices is rather clunky. bluetooth connectivity isn't very good, it was getting spotty while i was walking with my phone in my hand. I will say i like the ability to change the volume from the buds themselves, but overall i expected better from this product.

Good Sound Quality BUT Bad Call Microphone
I bought my headhphones a few months ago. The sound quality is great, but the microphone for phone calls is very bad. Everyone I talk to on a call complains that I sound very muffled and they cannot hear what I'm saying. Does not matter if I'm in a totally quite room or in a busy area. Unfortunately they are unusable for phone calls which for the price of the headphone is unacceptable.

I don't give out 5 Stars But ..
Theses are as close to 5 Stars as I've experienced so I'm giving them 5 Stars ????? ..
Yes $300 is a bit pricey for earbuds for the average consumer, so I'll leave that up to each individual and Sony .. There are cheaper and more expensive options .. but for the comfort, sound , ect I think this is the best Sony has ever done ..
Great Job .. I'm a satisfied customer .. XM5 Earbuds are Fantastic, I recommend them

Best ANC Headphones Out There
These buds are by far the best out there. I had the 1000xm4's and they were great but Sony somehow improves on those because these are absolutely awesome!!! The sound quality is probably the best I've heard. The ANC feature is the best I've heard. Battery life is unbelievable. Sony checked all the boxes here.

Comfort and performance.
I had the last gen XM4 earbuds for about 2 weeks and my impressions of them was that they were great, but I found the foam blended tips to be uncomfortable over time. I also found the fit and weight of the buds to be distracting from using them properly.
With the new XM5 earbuds, I find the comfort far better and from the new contoured shape and lesser weight. The tips are not as annoying, but I still swapped to my crystal Silicone tips for a better and more comfortable fit. Though I admit that doing so does slightly affect the punch of the bass, but I'm willing to sacrifice that for a fit and comfort. The buds now barely feel like they are in my ears, they simply feel natural.
The ANC is great, but not quite as stout as the bose quiet comfort, but for 95% of people it's amazingly close in comparison. I work in a loud office and datacenter and the ANC is absolutely more than enough. Call quality is fine, and all the features I tested worked great. There already was an update when receiving the buds on day 1 so I can tell sony is actively working to ensure the best possible function of the new flagship device.
The sound is amazingly balanced and it's been a pleasure to listen to all types of music from rock to pop to hip hop and classical. They truly handle any music type with ease. They have a fully adjustable EQ for tailoring to your taste.
My favorite thing about these buds is that sony made no compromise, they have almost every feature available on the market and I think they are great for the gym if that's your thing. I still think I wouldn't take them for a run personally as I like buds with hooks for that sort of thing. But if you want an amazing everyday pair of buds that can handle anything with ease, then you've found your earbuds. Cost is the only real downside here. To clarify, the sound quality of the previous xm4 was also amazing and you can easily catch those for a huge discount, so if that is what your after and budget is a factor, those work good too. For me, comfort and fit was my number one concern and of course sound quality as well. These things are jam packed with features and everything works day one from multipoint Bluetooth connections, 360 audio, and anything else they listed above. Welcome to the new standard for your day to day music lover and earbud enthusiast. You can't go wrong with these. And no, sony didn't pay me for this review, just wanted to give everyone an honest opinion from a blue collar worker.

absolutely amazing
these are by far the best earbuds I have ever tried, I fell in love with my previous 1000xm4s and these are by far amazing, the battery life is incredible and so is the noise cancelling, I also love the new sound pressure system from the wf1000xm5 headphones being brought to these.

The AirPods Of Android
I was going to purchase the Samsung Buds 2 Pro as I use a Samsung phone. After discovering that some of the features of the Buds 2 Pro are locked into Samsung's ecosystem (which is not a bad ecosystem per se), I decided to keep looking. The XM5 buds have a sound I believe is better than my wife's AirPods, ANC that is right on the edge of equal, are more comfortable to my ears, and work seamlessly with my Android phone. If I used iOS, I would still buy the XM5, as Apple locks many of its features into its walled garden as well. I want products that work no matter what device I pick up. I would like to see integrations with more services such as YouTube Music, Audible, Apple Music, etc. The case lid is too easy to open for my liking.

Almost perfect headphones
Not sure whether it’s just because apple put in more R&D but their transparency mode is so much better than Sonys but there was a significant improvement over the mark 4s. I also hate how there’s a delay from input to output when using the tap features in both headphones. Been using the xm4 since 2022 and it’s the same inconvenience with the delay with both models so I really wish Sony could come with an update or something to improve on that. Otherwise a flawless headphone, able to compete and beat most over headphones, and just crushes the in ear competition by miles. Super happy with the purchase, will never choose anything besides Sony for quality sound.

Bluetooth connectivity issues
Sound quality is great, however there seems to be some serious connectivity issues. Sound would keep cutting in and out even in close proximity of the connected device. It's also a bit uncomfortable, but once it molds to your ear its good.

Review Of 1 Year & Some Change
After upgrading from the WF-1000XM4 to the WF-1000XM5 in August 2023, my initial experience was disappointing due to grainy call quality and frequent audio dropouts. At first, I found myself missing my old buds. However, the next year Sony released updates that fixed these issues, and the audio quality became significantly better, improving both sound quality, music and calls.
While the design is sleek and comfortable for daily use, the buds occasionally slip out during intense workouts due to their smooth material. If you plan to use them for the gym, consider adjusting the fit or trying different ear tips.
Overall, the WF-1000XM5 is now my favorite pair for daily use, with excellent audio, though the fit for physical activities could be improved.
Hope this helps, I always try to put as much detail as I can in my reviews without having it drag on.

Broke soon after purchase
Within a month of purchase, the left earbud broke. Very low volume and static/buzzing/popping. Didn’t fit well in my ears no matter which of the sizes I used, and touch controls were too sensitive, especially in dry weather. Had hair that went over my ears at the time, which also wasn’t a great combo. Sound was decent for the short time they were working correctly

Air pod pros are better in every way
Absolutely no bass even with the bass boost option on that alone makes them worthless. You can’t feel which one goes in with ear so you have to look at them every time same with putting them in to the case. They go inside your ears where AirPod pros sit on the outside. The foam tips are to dense to compress inside you ear and hold them in place.
So to sum up the ergonomics are trash all the way around and the sound quality is good but has no bass regardless of equalizer settings or song.
If the were $50 I would give 4 stars.

Sound doesn't matter if they wont stay i ear
I never had such a problem with an ear nub staying in the ear. I typically use two brands. My current go to buds are Airpods Pro and Bose Ultra-quiet Comfort). I decided give these Sony WF1000XM5/B a try. The sound is good but for the life of me, I can't get them to stay in my ear. Well after only having them for a month one is lost as it fell out and I didn't notice. The cost to replace the bud is the same as buying a new one. I've owned many brands(Apple, Bose, Beats, Sony, Jabra, Samsung, Anker and Jaybirds to name a few) and never had a bud that I could not get to stay in my ear.

Poor support from sony
Super frustrating, and I don't know what the heck is going on. The order was marked delivered, but I didn't find it at my door. I have been contacting the support team for the past 10 days, but no response and no resolution yet. They are not giving proper responses. The support team is full of stupids.

Terrible Headphones - Do not buy
These are the worst headphones I have ever purchased. The quality of the product is like they took the cheapest material they could find that is “eco friendly” and built these. The ear pieces get so dirty and are impossible to clean, and if you try to clean them they can easily break. The sound quality is TERRIBLE. I can hear background noise more than my music. I tried calling Sony to get a replacement, and they were supposed to send me an email with information to ship back my current headphones. I still haven’t gotten anything and it’s been 3 weeks. I don’t even want a new pair, I want a refund. You are better off going to your local 7 and getting their headphones, because these are terrible.
