Sony WF1000XM5 ANC In-Ear True Wireless Earbuds - Pink

The best sounding earbuds

Had these a week and the fit and sound is superb, very easy to set up and updated automatically which is so simple and easy

Well worth the cost.

The quality of sound is what I have come to expect from Sony, excellent. I have had difficulty in the past with other manufacturers ear bud staying in place but not these. The price for the pure clarity is very reasonable and charge length is very good.

Hope the batteries last.....

After my poor experience with the previous model - battery drain then disposal - I nearly went for an alternative with the replacement buds. However, these perform spectacularly. My only criticism is the miniscule button to press for pairing. Very tricky to pair with Technogym equipment. Just hope the batteries keep going.

Brilliant

Upgraded from my old Samsung pair and have been impressed so far. Far superior noise cancelling

Outstanding, well done Sony (again!).

I bought these a few weeks ago as an upgrade to my WF-1000XM4s and boy am I glad I did! Don't get me wrong my previous earbuds have served me well for a few years but the connection was getting unstable and I have had my eye on these for some time. As a long-time Sony nut I always tend to go for their products but only if the reviews and specs stack up and these guys certainly do. Out of the (minimalist) packaging they just look good and with a considerably smaller charging case than their predecessors nice for the pocket. Some people have complained about getting them out of the case but to me it was intuitive. Wireless charging and nice(r) aesthetics make it a pleasant experience. Performance wise I am more than happy. I used to use the medium fit supplied with the WF-1000XM4 but have found the large actually work better with these and give a really good seal for noise cancelling. Sony have introduced the great feature of swapping between Noise cancelling and Ambient mode with a tap of the earbuds, something I find massively useful when out and about so you don't need to remove the buds at all really as it works really well. What would be good is a long press on the right to turn volume up and a long press on left for volume down for completeness for me. The actual sound quality is as I would have expected, absolutely lovely! Deep bass, rich mid range and crisp highs. I use these with my current 5iv and the delivery is excellent, I can't wait for the performance when I upgrade to the 1 vii in the not too distant future. I am lucky enough t own the WH-1000XM5 headphones and have to say, whilst these can't match them for that complete soundscape experience, they do come really close. I do still suffer from some connectivity issues but this is probably down to the 5 iv as it is getting on a bit now but way more stable than my XM4s. I want to add that the call quality has been massively improved with no complaints about echoing from the other end and the ease of use and confidence greatly upgraded. I regularly use these whilst riding my bike and just like the XM4s the wind reduction is excellent along with the water repellent attributes. I know I am biased but I struggle to think how these things could be improved at all, but that is a challenge for Sony to take on with the next generation. All in all a cracking set of earbuds that are comfortable, effective, long lasting and sweet. Buy some, you won't be disappointed.

The right side sometimes fails to connect or connects late.

Excellent all rounder earphones

I have bought these as I heard they were one of the best earphones on the market at the moment and I agree. They are very good. They fit really well in my ears and are kinda shaped to fit in my ears more comfortably than other earphones I've had in the past. While they are pricy, I do use them every day and they do hold a charge well. I've used them throughout a work day and they have lasted all day long. The sound quality is great and while there are occasions where either one of my earphones cut out briefly, they typically are good and are excellently designed.

Good Earphones with Some Limitations

Bought for my Wife and she is happy with them. Performance is good, but not exceptional for the price. Noise cancelling is not as good as Bose but still helpful, Good balance of sound, but not as immersive as the reviews suggest.

Fantastic bombastic

The first I wish to thank you Sony for fantastic earbuds. Absolutely stunning item. Quality of music it's extremely brilliantly amazing -top level. It works perfectly with my phone Sony Xperia 1 vii. Application sound connect helps completely to get everything what I need. I would like to mention about noise cancelling option - definitely you are winning! Highly recommended!
