After 2 months of using the Sony WF1000XM5 earbuds daily & for lots of travel. Here is what I think of Sony's latest flagship, true wireless earbuds. If you have been on the fence about buying these, this video will help you. Also, I have devised a new ranking system for grading ANC earbuds...stick around until the end for that.

I just bought mine yesterday and did a whole night playing music. This by far the best earbuds. I usually never like earbuds due to irritation after 2 hours of having them on my ear. My ears didn't get sore or irritate after 10 hours of listening to my music using this Sony XM5 earbud. In terms of comfort they're the best. My only dislike is the battery life is kind of short. I had to recharge after 4 hours of listening to my music at a low volume setting. It stays on firmly in the ear and feels like it's never even there. That's how comfortable this little earbud was. The ambien setting is kind of a hit and miss. I notice that it doesn't resume back to playing the music when I'm not talking to people. I had to hit the play button on my smartphone to get the music playing again.

Another great video mate. One thing is clear (or not clear in fact) is that after watching countless review videos on the XM5, there are so many conflicting opinions. At least you took the time to test them out, so I am looking at buying a pair, based on your review. I was considering the Jabra Elite 10's, which are a good competitor to the XM5's, so I would love to see a comparison/review with theses champs.

Just go with xm5, I’ve had them for some time, and I’ve got quite a few other buds, 1 sennheiser doesn’t sound better they actually don’t they r similar honestly I think these r more detailed, the anc is still great I think people were expecting too much, it’s not a giant increase from the xm4 but if you need a good anc earbud this is the choice. Let’s be clear to me Bose sounds terrible, the ultras have weirdly high mid which is awful. The ambient mode is really ok, and that’s it just ok, the rest comfort is great and I’m ok with the controls if ur thinking about it get it. I don’t think Jabra is in the same league.

Its sound is the most balanced and the most fidelity. I bought them at Silver and they are very cool haha.

Hi, I’m from WA State USA. Thanks for a great usability review. I have an issue that you didn’t address (probably because you didn’t have the issue). Ever since updating the firmware to 2.0.1, my XM5s secretly connect to my iPhone (15 Pro Max). It’s happened about 4 times. It starts late at night and through the morning when I discover the headset icon on upper right corner of Home Screen. Then I get a notification from the Sony app that your case needs recharging. Is there a way to disable this? I’m thinking once your buds are in the case they should be off…period. Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

@walter_marcus 10 ай бұрын

i dont think the mic quality will improve unless they go out and make another upgraded bluetooth codec for handsfree communication, ri8 now they still use SBC codec version from like the early 2000s that was used in handsfree communication( like thos business eardbud handsfree things that you can attend calls 24x7 or the one feature on your car stereo where you can attend calls) you can see that on a windows PC when you pair a headset for example say the XM5, it will show up as 2 devices in the sound control panel, one in the playback devices and other in the recording devices. in playback devices where your other sound devices show up, in properties>advanced for the XM5 you will notice it is using 16bit 48Khz which is aptX if its setup as "prioritize audio" in the sony headphones app while in the recording tab you notice the XM5s show up as a handsfree device with a sampling rate of 16000Hz(16Khz) at 16bit which even windows states is similar to "tape recorder quality". So until that gets upgraded across every device with a bluetooth radio, no amount of improving the built in mic or processing is going to make it better.

I used own the xm5 earbuds but decided to return them for the Jabra Elite 10 because I wanted ones that have a high ip rating once I saw the ip rating on the Elite 10 and that the case has an extremely high rating I was completely sold. I will say that during my time with the xm5s that they are amazing overall and they look amazing. The spatial audio on the Elite works very well and I don't feel is gimmicky and is compatible with any music and streaming service and I have trulu enjoyed them.

@rower41 5 ай бұрын

Tried a few different premium earbuds including the Sony. I liked the sound quality but I have to say I didn't find it to be markedly better than the Sennheiser Momentum 3s or the Technics AZ80s. In fact, to my ear, the AZ80s were better but that kind of thing is very personal so your milage may vary. The Sony definitely has noise cancellation nailed very well but the foam plugs are a big part of this. I had to use the largest tips to get the max control and I found them less comfortable over long periods of listening. Three things I really do not like about the Sonys are the shape... it feels like a polished river stone. I find it hard to orient it into my ear and the case because the shape is so irregular. This also affected my ability to hit the controls in the correct place to activate. I also do no like the controls particularly the quad tap--very fiddly. Lastly, and I know a lot won't be bothered by this, you have to have the box to pair them. If you carry the box around a lot, this won't be an issue, but I rarely carry the box and when I'm in a hotel gym or my gym in another city, I often pair with equipment and TVs. Needing the case has prevented me from pairing several times. Speak-to-chat is cool but I find it turns things off when I want them on or on when I want them off about half the time. Like if you cough your music pauses and the exterior sound is amplified. If someone talks to you, it does not pause... you have to be the one talking. So all in all I'd say these are a bit too gimmicky for my taste and the advantages don't outweigh what I find annoying.

How is overall "loudness"? I used to have a pair of Shure SE535s and they were amazing. The quality of sound was awesome and the loudness was great. In fact, I would find that i did not need to turn the volume up to the max to get the loudest sound. Sadly, I left my SE535s on a plane and now i'm looking for a replacement. I have tried AirPod Pros and they are nice but do not get loud enough for me when traveling on flights. How are the Sony's?

Has anyone had success finding different tips? I can’t get a good seal for noise cancellation despite trying all the sizes. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thank you.

just bought xm5 and first thing happened at the gym was continously turning off. I had to close app. Then it stoped and it was great. What option in app could cause that problem? I would rather use app than turn it off every time I workout.

@fantasypolice 7 ай бұрын

In the app there's a "Speak-to-Chat" feature that turns off the audio/pauses music when it detects voice. It can be convenient but at the gym any noise from others or heavy breathing from me will activate it which is annoying. I just turn that off.

Would you prefer these over the galaxy earbuds 2 pro if you was using a samsung phone?

@WhatGear 10 ай бұрын

I'm going to have to do a little comparison to give you an honest answer. I think the Sony's with the headphones app have an edge in software especially with the adaptive ANC Features.

I really want to get the xm5 but I have the xm4's and contrary to what you've said about sony products, they did not last. The ones I have are actually my second set that Sony exchanged for me because the first pair battery life was ruined. Now the ones I have now are doing same and one side only last about an hour on full charge. And then just a couple days ago, I shit you not one side stopped working entirely. So I'm in the market and want to trust the xm5 but gonna wait till they hit the year mark to see how they have faired. Might even just wait till next gen comes out.

I still have a working Walkman (1985) that looks and works as new, I still have the Sony Ericsson W800i that looks and works as new ... I have so many Sony at home and they all still work and look as new... one thing I disagree .. I use NFC all the time with my headphones. (Sony WH-1000XM3)

Friends, I bought Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, but it went to the service twice and they sent a new one, but I had a problem with that too and the last money was refunded. Now, the model I am wondering about is the Sony WF-1000XM5 ANC TWS Headset, but unfortunately it is not sold in Turkey and if I buy it from abroad, there will be a service problem. I will live, club house..electro house..rock..I listen to all kinds of music...I need to feel the instrument, sound quality and phone calls are important to me and right now I am left without headphones and senneiser momentum 4 is about to be announced!!!samsun buds 3 is about to be released. ..so what should we do???

I have also been using the xm5 earbuds for 2 months and I absolutely love them, for me they are the almost the perfect gym buds in my opinion. However there are a few issues I have with them, with number one being the unstable connection I have with the buds, specifically when I'm listening to music, when all of the sudden, one of my left or right ear bud disconnects and the touch surface doesn't work. I believe this might be a software error but I could be wrong. I have also switched my priority controls between prioritizing sound quality and/or preferring good connection with the error being noticeable in both settings. The second thing Issue I have is having to quadruple touch to increase/decrease the volume, whereas the galaxy buds 2 pro has a more simplistic way of volume control, aka the touch to hold to increase/decrease volume. The third issue I have, which is more of a nitpick than an actual issue is very rarely having to re-adjust my earbuds for optimal noise cancellation and sound quality. Other than these issues I have, these buds sound phenomenal and are my top choice of gym buds. The microphone quality is good, I have no issues or complaints for mic quality. I'm not looking for the best microphone quality of ear buds or headphones. The ambient noise is great, same thing, I have no complaints.

@felixfox8810 10 ай бұрын

Although I don't own these yet, I'd hope that they'll add a feature to customize the way you can control the volume. Seems to be one of the more common complaints so far.

@WhatGear 10 ай бұрын

Yeah, agree. I think maybe a gym wing tip could be good & swipe volume control would be good. I experienced a little glitch like the one you mentioned once. I just put it back in the case and took it out again and it fixed it.

I have the model before this, the Sony XM 4. I used them for about 1-3 hours per week for just over two years. Then suddenly last month they started draining from full power to zero in about 30 minutes! I contacted Sony and they weren’t interested other than giving me their out of warranty rates, which were ridiculous. I expected more for my £200

@j.ballsdeep420 9 ай бұрын

A possible reason for your lower score previous on sound using an Apple device and people calling it out is Apple products use AAC as max bit rate codec whereas latest Android devices are compatible with LDAC. Had you used an external Bluetooth DAC you would have recreates the same environment on your iPhone or Mac
