Sony WF-1000XM5 Noise Canceling Truly Wireless Earbuds (Silver) Bundle with 2 YR CPS Enhanced Protection Pack and Audio Essentials Software

I fly frequently for work and these headphones have been amazing. Background airplane noise becomes non existent and they’re small and comfortable enough that I can still sleep with them in. They also have a pretty good call quality for Audio which is great for work calls. General sound quality for music, podcasts and audiobooks is also top notch

I previously had a WF1000XM4 but one ear went dead. Purchasing a new pair, I decided to go with the newer model. These are just as great and even smaller than last year.In between purchasing this, I tried to order a pair of Google Buds but they could not compare. The noise cancelation on these are next level. I'm always a fan of Sony products so I may be biased.

I own an XM5 purchased from Sony and it's amazing. However, DO NOT BUY from Beach Camera.I thought I was getting a better deal but they sent me used goods. The pre-installed ear tips had earwax on them (gross) and they weren't even the same size (left was small right was medium).If you're going to buy this product just get the earbuds and case separately (about same price as this bundle) from the manufacturer or you might get someone else's junk.

I bought these to use while my XM4 versions were off for warranty replacement due to rapid battery discharge.The XM4s sound better. But, the XM4s are annoying because when I answer my phone and then take the earbuds out of the storage case to put them in my ears, when they connec,t they always interrupt my phone call to say "Connected to phone" or something like that. I always miss a second or two of what the other person is saying, every time.With the XM5s, in the same scenario, they just play a quick beep to let me know they've connected. I don't miss any of what the other person is saying.Also, they both support multi-point connections. Meaning, I can have them connected to my laptop and my phone at the same time. With the XM4s, I can be listening to music from my laptop, then a phone call comes in, I answer it, and the ear buds automatically switch over and I'm on the phone via my earbuds. It works well. The XM5s do not work well for auto switching between the two sources. I had to set that pair back to not doing multi-point.

I like the sound, the fit, the features. They're not a hi-fi headset, but they are a great pair of buds. Well thought out. Sony app is meh. Charging for 360 sound on $300 buds and expensive phones is disappointing.But 5 stars are earned.

I lost a pair of first generation Bose quiet comfort earbuds that I loved. I decided to try the Sony because of the ability to be connected to 2 sources and reported ambient noise canceling on par with the Bose. Once I received the Sony I verified I had the proper fit using the tool in the app and verified I had the ambient noise canceling properly set up. I seemed to notice more bleed through of ambient sounds than I was used to. Wanting to give the Sony’s a fair try I took them on a plane trip to Atlanta. It became very clear that the ambient noise canceling was no where close to the Bose. In addition I had significant issues keeping them in my ear. To make sure I reverified that I had the right size and proper fit with the apps tool. The trip back I had the same issues. I will say the sound was very good. However if your looking for good noise canceling and earbuds that stay in I would recommend the Bose quiet comfort series.

I liked my XM4's but the XM5's are clearly superior.

Amazing sound and features but the earbuds didn’t work for my ears. I’ll have to look into getting the headphones instead
