WF-1000XM5 Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth in Ear Earbuds with Mic, Up to 36 Hours Battery Life - Black

This is the best ANC earbuds you can buy. Better then apple earbuds. I use it almost all places like office, workout, flight etc. very good fit. The call quality is great on this. And when you are using this in flight you can feel the difference. Adaptive noise cancellation is great. There are tons of features in it. You just need to explore. I bought it during 2024 Diwali sale. Got it for 11500/- but that was very lucky. After that the price never came down more than 15K which is also great. I would strongly recommend this for daily use. Music quality is way above then anything in this segment. Sound clarity is great during calls. Charging is great. Keeps atleast 4-5 days including box. Fast charging is there and also wireless charging is a +1. Connectivity is great with any android or IOS device with multi point connection which seemlessly switch between two devices. Design is great and good to carry.

Overall: Excellent noise cancellation and sound quality, but frustrating pre-order experience and missing promotional item. (4 star for this product and less than 0 for other delivery and support) Pros: Best-in-class noise cancellation: Effectively blocks out ambient sound, making them ideal for noisy environments. Exceptional sound quality: Clear and balanced audio with powerful bass and crisp highs. Comfortable fit: Ergonomically designed earbuds stay secure in your ears even during extended listening sessions. Long battery life: Up to 36 hours of playback time with the charging case. Cons: Delays and communication gaps: I experienced numerous delays in receiving my order and encountered significant communication gaps throughout the process. Pre-order issues: Many customers reported missing promotional items and delays in communication from Amazon. Invalid coupon: After multiple buyers reported similar issues, Amazon provided a coupon code to claim the speaker. However, the code turned out to be invalid, adding to the frustration. Limited communication avenues: Difficulty reaching anyone beyond customer service for assistance. The lack of transparent communication and escalation channels was deeply frustrating Delivery : My attempts to resolve the missing speaker issue were met with delays, communication gaps, and unhelpful responses. I was repeatedly told the correct product was delivered, and no action was take Recommendation: While the WF-1000XM5 earbuds offer exceptional sound quality and noise cancellation, the frustrating pre-order experience and missing promotional items detract from the overall purchase experience. While I appreciate the coupon code gesture, the invalid code further amplified the disappointment. If you can get past these issues, the earbuds themselves are excellent. However, if you value a smooth and reliable purchasing experience, you may want to consider other options. This review is based on my personal experience and may not reflect the experience of others. I encourage potential buyers to read other reviews and research the product thoroughly before making a purchase

These wireless earphones probably have the best sound available on the market along with the best noise cancellation. However, they are up there with Apple when it comes to repairability. They are super compact and most definitely the smallest earphones I've tried and are super comfortable to wear. It is a little awkward to get them in and out of the case especially if you've got big hands like me but that might just be a skill issue. The battery in the case definitely seems to be smaller as the case itself has shrunk down a lot. The case doesn't hold as much power but its the smallest case I've ever seen, feels very premium and doesn't snag anywhere in the pocket. Overall, brilliant earphones! definitely the best case on the market too. But if you're concerned about being able to replace the batteries later down the line when they do eventually get cooked then that's definitely something to keep in mind. When it comes to sound? bar none these are the best wireless.

This is my first time owning a high end TWS so I will write about the good things that I like about these earphones. 1. Great build quality. 2. Sony specific features provided in their app. 3. Excellent noise cancelling and transperency mode. Best among what I have experienced. 4. Battery life is excellent. Usually TWS earphones last less while their cases last longer but here u get longer lasting earphones than the actual case which is a good thing. 5. Sound quality is good. The mids and highs are very good especially since Sony provides their Hi-Res Codec LDAC. 6. Usually most TWS I used only got one software update and then that's it. But I recently got my second software update along with a new beta feature. I am pleasently surprised and hopeful for the software support in future. Things that I don't like: 1. Bass is not powerful enough, atleast for me.... I switched from OnePlus buds pro so I miss the powerful and deeper bass. To be fair OnePlus buds pro had bigger drivers hence deeper bass, but these earphones also have good amount of bass enough for most. 2. Foam earbuds, I am not a fan of them. They do provide better noise cancelling but not sure if it's the same for music. 3. For these earphones mesh is provided on earbuds instead of the tip of earbuds, which makes it harder to replace them with sylicon buds. So, you might be wondering if they are worth it. It depends on your priority. If you are ok with above cons then yes they are completely worth it. Tidbit: Additionally If you are looking for loud earphones comparable to OnePlus buds pro and pro 2 then let me give a simple comparison. These earphones go upto 95dbs and in comparison OnePlus buds pro and pro 2 are around 110-120dbs. But as you increase volume the highs get harsher and might cause damage to your ears, that's where Sony shines the highs are comparatively smoother and easier on your ears. So there I talked about the loudness as well.

This is the first time I have bought "expensive" earbuds. I am not an audiophile, but I love music. So far, I have had earbuds from Philips, Oneplus, Earfun and Soundcore. Value and longevity wise Soundcore outperforms any of the earbuds listed above, I am yet to see how long will these sony earbuds last. Coming to sound quality, I didn't find any noticeable superiority than my previous "lower cost" earbuds. They may "psychologically" sound better if you are not a true audiophile like me. I notice nearly the same intricacies in my music as I did in my previous purchases. Noise cancellation is good, but does not in any way justify the price tag. Earfun pro 4 earbuds were just as good. The design is nothing extraordinary. They are oval in shape and look like you have plugged your entire ear. It may or may not be your jam. I don't mind. The fit tolerance is shabby at times, I occassionally find them falling out of my ears, after having tried all the tips that were provided. Functionality has potential. There are many features accessible via their app like auto switching between ANC and ambient mode. Touch controls work without delay. Connectivity isn't an issue, I didn't find any buffering for a considerable amount of distance, and the audio quality doesn't drop when moving around, away from the phone. Overall, if you have the money, you may go for these. Could be that audiophiles might be able to justify the price tag better. Otherwise I always suggest Soundcore to my friends and family for their superior value.

I mean good voice quality, connectivity, comfortable, all the quality you can expect froma. Flagship In ear headphones but to be honest overpriced by a lot.

Working nicely with my Android phone. Sound is clear. Recommended.
