Just that littlest bit better than the last gen! A worth upgrade, or add anyway to your earbud collection.

Audio and noise cancelling wee great, headphoens randomly turning on while in ur pockets is the only issue i have but you can then them off with app
KhamfongV –
Works right out the box. Only issue I had was it was a little slippery while trying to pull the earbuds out of the case. The sound and noise cancelation is great and the quality of the build fill premium. Surprisingly the call quality is not bad compared to others. I highly recommend these earbuds.
Pennsylvania –
Improved clarity of sound vs last model. They are noticably more comfortable than previous model but did not fit in my ears as snug. Returned due to this reason, continued using previous model.
Deemoe –
Thanks for the reviews after reading im considering a purchase.
DarionS –
Very good earphones but after 3 days of use on job site they stopped charging tried charging the case but wouldn’t charge the earphones
David –
The best money can buy noise cancel is the best. Sony quality
HaiderA –
Really reliable with fantastic sound quality. I love them!
TedT –
Greatest sounding buds ever! And the noise cancelling is stellar. Smaller than the 4’s.
Sopaynefull –
Noise cancelling is incredibly effective. Sound quality very impressive.
Patty –
Very nice earbuds, cancels noise. Music sounds so clear.
MonicaW –
Very comfortable and they remain in my ears which can be hard to find. They work really well and I like the ability to customize the touch controls. I have three complaints though. First, the touch controls are way too sensitive. It’s very easy to accidentally turn off and on the noise cancellation. When my hair is wet, I can’t wear them since it just constantly pushes the buttons. Second, the noise cancellation is not great. There’s not a huge difference between when it is on and off. Third, the automatic “smart” noise cancellation that tries to recognize when you would want it on or off is backwards. It always turns off the noise cancellation when I’m in a noisy area, which is exactly when I need the noise cancellation more.
Ridgetrail –
foam tips are comfortable. sounds great. i like the app. couple issues, ‘spacial audio’ limited to certain apps only. limited touch control options. volume control awkward
Sams –
Coming from the Apple ecosystem i though Airpods pros were the best one could get. After using these for a month or so i still am amazed by the effectiveness of the active noise cancellation. Sound quality is incredible, bass is there, mids are there and highs are there. These are very impressive earbuds.

While initially excited about these wireless headphones, my enthusiasm waned as I struggled to decipher their intricate functionalities. The learning curve proved steeper than expected, leaving me somewhat frustrated. Additionally, the packaging, considering the premium price tag, felt disappointingly flimsy. Despite my initial desire to love these headphones, the complex setup and underwhelming packaging left me yearning for a more straightforward and robust user experience. Unfortunately I gave up and didn’t return them and went back to another well-known brand. I probably would have grown to love them a lot if I took the time to figure out all the functions but I felt headphones shouldn’t be that complicated.
Criag –
I was pleasantly surprised at how much better the sound quality was on these Sony’s vs. my air pod pros!!!! Best ear buds on the market and worth the price.
MikeB –
Good headphone and I want buy other one like this perfect
Keith –
The best sound of any earbuds I’ve ever owned. Easy to use features.
LindaB –
A fantastic pair of earbuds that have blown every other pair I’ve tried out of the water. From the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro to the Technics AZ80, these buds outshine everything in terms of both sound quality and features. Sifting through the app (which sets up quick and easy) allows for one to toggle between ANC modes, set the modes to automatic, enable a Spotify quick play gesture directly on the earbuds, switch bluetooth codecs, toggle DSEE Extreme (lossy music upscaler), and calibrate head tracking amongst other things. The standout feature for a bass head like myself is Sony’s Clear Bass technology, which allows for a crisp boost to the bass without a loss of volume or fidelity across the higher frequencies. My only gripe would be the battery life of the case, but as long as one charges regularly, this shouldn’t be an issue. Highly recommend this pair to anyone on the fence about trying them.
Italianfox –
Best true wireless earbuds I have ever had. Great sound and noise canceling. Comfortable fit. Can wear for hours without fatigue or pain. You won’t find better.
Neil –
Outstanding Sound Quality Bass is easy to customize the ANC is great you are buying it for the sound quality Bose is great too but Sony just has better driven sound that’s unbeatable to other predecessors 10/10 recommended
FrankB –
The clarity of this product is exceptional and adds a new dimension to listening to your favorite music!
Theish9 –
I personally dont find these a steep up from the xm4. However, not a downgrade either. My xm4 was starting to not hold a full charge, and i needed a new pair. The Sony music app held my settings, so setup was easy. Om not a fan of 360 audio or any of that so eq is all i need to get set up personally .the pass through voice festure is a grest piece of tech and does a grest job telling voices from noise in most environments.
Evilmanta –
Great sound quality, lightweight, very comfortable. Excellent isolation. I wish the touch controls were a little more intuitive.
StephaniePB –
My son really likes them, he uses them every day, almost all day.
Marek –
Almost Perfect, I just need more bass and more dynamics, I don’t know, maybe they will be good for someone else, it’s a matter of hearing
JamesN –
Best headphones I’ve ever owned and well worth the hype
KellyM –
Bought these as a gift for someone who spend lots is time and money on good quality when I offered to buy him a pair of his choice he chose these and said they were one of the best
Kartier –
I really liked the fit on these earbuds. They did not feel like they were heavy enough to fall off like the last model. Really nice color options as well. Noice canceling was top notch as well as the transparency feature. Feels light enough to forget its even in my ear.
MariaP –
Excellent quality sound and noise canceling, definitely Sony is the best.
JonnathanR –
Its has pretty good sound quality. Does sometimes fall out of ear if you move a lot
KelsM –
Will not be total noise cancelling but very good earbud nonetheless. Like the app to set up the pods and control sound settings. Adaptive sound control is great as well and will let ambient noises around you in. When I’m on a moving vehicle and resting my head agains the vehicle frame all noise comes in through the earbuds, think the vibrations disrupts the adaptive sound control
MadeleineA –
Great headphones- stay in even my small ears! They connect so quickly and the battery life is great.
BrandonR –
Got them for Christmas I really liked the sound quality and equalizer I’d say these sounded better than my AirPod pros. The battery life on both the buds and case are amazing they would last me up to 3 days before I would get a low case charge notification. The Sony headphone app was pretty good over all little confusing at first but easy to manage once I learned how to use it.
Only downside i had was the constant need to have to readjust and push them back in for a good seal especially during working out, with pressure they push out pretty easy compared to my AirPod pros. Overall I would still recommend these to anyone any day!
JanieJ –
Bought these for my daughter and granddaughter for Christmas. They both said that they LOVE them! They are much better than the ones they had before!
SpicyChorizo –
There’s a lot of great technology built into these ear buds. Tap one to start and stop. Tap the other to switch from noise canceling to ambient sound. Wonderful sound quality and decent noise canceling. Not as good as over the ear headphones but good for earbuds. Main complaint is they don’t stay in your ears very well.
WilliamjH –
Somewhat expensive, but well worth the price. The sound quality is amazing. I paired them to a Sony TV, with excellent results. I’m now watching Netflix in immersive sound. I highly recommend this product.
Memyselfandi –
Great sound quality ranks up in the top 10 on my list. But the B&O beoplay ex are still my favorites
TTran –
The sound quality is pristine, the switch between ambient sound and noise canceling is very noticeable and when you go into noise canceling its feel as if you are in a void, these lasted me on meduim volume with ambient sound on for about 6 and a half hours while i was at work, they are very comfortable doesnt feel heavy after a while it barely feels as if anything is in your ear and they fit snug and dont even hint at falling out, would recommend these to anyone, though i will say these are on the pricer side but well worth the money
LucasG –
The sound quality is really good and it feels nice in the ears. The only complaint is the lack of tracking using tile or another Bluetooth tracking system.
JAZH –
Very easy to use. The sound quality is exceptional. I have hard-to-fit ears and these solved my issue.
MatthewS –
Just as good as the xm4 model. Would definitely recommend
Switch –
Pros: noise canceling, the different ear bud fittings, compact, love the different level of frequncey to tune into my music on the go. Cons: donest pair well with apple, doesnt allow you to answer phone calls or read out text messages
Bones –
I’m getting right to the point, these buds are hands down best sounding buds I’ve used to date. I own XM4 & Apple AirPod Pros ( gen 2) they’re good , but these XM5’s are @ another whole level.. Sound, ANC, fit, function all Awesome. App is easy to use, customize & there are a bunch of options to get these XM5 to your liken. I used stock foams that came on Bud with no issue what so ever. Yes a little more expensive, but you get what you’re paying for!
Raba –
The sound is great and easy to use. Fit is not the best though feels like they’ll fall off while exercising.
Carlos –
Possibly the best headphones on the market. Sound quality is impeccable and they have a very snug fit with the different sizes for the ear plugs they have. Only issue i had was the case comes open a little to easily and ended up losing one of my headphones
Chaos –
These buds are probably the best purchase ive made for myself in a long time. The fitment options are incredible and i love the soft foam. Silicone earbuds usually fall out but these stay firmly in place, long enough to be forgotten about!
The noise cancelling feature works so well and the audio quality is second to none. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a new set of buds!
SamuelM –
I thoroughly enjoy the experience of using Sony wireless headphones for several reasons. Firstly, the sound quality is exceptional, delivering crisp and immersive audio across various genres. The noise-canceling feature is remarkable, creating an immersive environment by effectively blocking external distractions. The sleek and comfortable design makes extended use enjoyable, and the user-friendly controls allow for easy navigation. Additionally, the battery life is impressive, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable performance. Overall, Sony wireless headphones provide a premium audio experience, making them my top choice for immersive and high-quality sound.
TracyT –
The sound quality is great. But they will not stay in my ears.
