Good sound, ANC not that impressive
Like the sound profile, has a good bass to it as well. But when it comes to ANC it's not that great, dunno if it's the unit or in general.

Awesome battery, great sound good ANC.
I love the sound on this, having upgraded from soundcore and a jbl this sounds way better. But I do have to say the ANC is kind of the same or slightly better than the others. Not sure if I got a defective one. The app is way better than others.

An excellent pair of earbuds
The noise-canceling features and the app have come a long way since the MX4. The headphones are considerably smaller and more comfortable. This is a great set of buds.

At a glance
The Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds are premium true wireless earbuds for listeners who want strong noise cancelling, clear calls and a compact fit for commuting or work. They suit everyday use thanks to Bluetooth, IPX4 splash resistance and up to 8 hours of playback per charge. Their main limitation is that workout security may not match earbuds designed specifically for sport.

Things to consider
While versatile for everyday use, the IPX4 rating and comfort-focused fit make them less specialised for intense training than sport-focused earbuds with higher water resistance or stabilising fins.
Commuter suitability score
9/10 - strong noise cancelling, compact design and clear calls make them well suited to trains, buses and walking between destinations.
Workout fit
Good for light workouts and walking, but not as secure as sport-focused earbuds with stabilising fins.
Noise isolation effectiveness
9/10 - active noise cancelling and an in-ear seal help reduce surrounding noise effectively for daily listening.
All-day comfort rating
8/10 - compact earbuds and four ear tip sizes support long listening sessions for a wide range of users.
Multi-device switching ease
7/10 - Bluetooth pairing is convenient for compatible devices, though switching experience can vary depending on the source devices used.
Key benefits
- Noise Cancelling: Helps reduce ambient sound for more focused listening during commuting, work or relaxation.
- Battery Life: Up to 8 hours per charge supports a full workday of listening between charges.
- Six-Microphone Call System: Improves voice pickup for clearer hands-free calls in busy environments.
- Compact In-Ear Design: Small earbuds are easier to wear for extended periods and pack away neatly for travel.
- Multiple Ear Tip Options: Four pairs of ear tips help more users achieve a comfortable and secure fit.
- Bluetooth Wireless Connection: Pairs wirelessly with compatible devices for cable-free everyday listening.
- IPX4 Splash Resistance: Handles sweat and light splashes for commuting and general day-to-day use.
- Voice Assistant Support: Works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for convenient voice control.
Q: Will these earbuds block all noise on trains and planes?
A: No. Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds reduce a lot of everyday ambient sound with active noise cancelling and an in-ear seal, but they do not remove all noise. Voices, announcements and other sudden sounds can still be noticeable.
Q: Are they suitable for gym workouts and outdoor runs?
A: Yes, for lighter sessions. The IPX4 rating covers sweat and light splashes, so Sony WF-1000XM5 suits walking and gym use, but it is less suited to heavy rain or tougher outdoor training conditions.
Q: Do the ear tip sizes affect sound and noise cancelling?
A: Yes. Sony WF-1000XM5 includes four ear tip sizes, and the right seal matters for both bass and noise reduction. If the tips feel loose, sound can thin out and the noise cancelling will usually seem less effective.
Q: How well do they handle calls in busy places?
A: Sony WF-1000XM5 is designed for clearer hands-free calls in busier spaces, using a triple-sensor system with six microphones to improve voice pickup. It suits commuting and office calls, but surrounding noise can still come through.
Q: Why might the noise cancelling seem weaker than expected?
A: The most common reason is fit. Sony WF-1000XM5 relies on both active noise cancelling and a proper in-ear seal, so the wrong tip size can leave more outside sound audible even though the earbuds are working as intended.
