SonyWF-1000XM5 The Best Truly Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Hi-Res Audio, 24 hours battery life, Multipoint Connection, IPX4 Water Resistance, Black, UAE Version - 1-Year warranty

I was confused choosing one and I had tested countless earbuds including airpods, samsung buds, nothing earpod thing and more. This was the one I got satisfied. Yeah the brand is subject to each and everyone. This was my fit. And really enjoying using it. You'll be amazed of the quality of the sound it produces and the noise cancellation is in another level. But the sad truth is when it's on call in a noisy background, sometimes it cancels out you voice as well. Overall 9/10.

Better than bose QCU, smart and smooth sound quality

The battery drain main problemSound was good

Pros:- Great sound quality- Great battery life- Good noise cancellingCons:- The amazing memory foam ear tips disintegrated after 6 months of use and I couldn't find a good replacement.- Cannot restart or shut down without the case, which means you could run into some issues if you don't wanna carry the case everywhere you go:1. Sometimes when taking the earphones out of the box, one if them fails to start and if you don't have the case with you, you can't really restart it and you're stuck using one earbud.2. Even if they work correctly, after placing the earbuds without the case in your pocket or somewhere, you come back and one of them is off with no way to start it without inserting it and taking it out of the case.- Sometimes placing the earphones in the case doesn't correctly shut down and it stays connected to my phone until I open the case and wiggle them around a bit to get them to connect to the metal pins.However, this problem isn't really that bad if you take them out of the case and make sure they're both working and going for a jog or the gym they will never fail.In short: If you plan to carry the case with you at all times and don't mind the foam ear tips breaking then they're perfect earphones to use.

Definitely worth it, excellent sound and battery life.

I always wanted to buy the Sony XM earbuds for a very long and this time I bought the XM5 which is the latest and I was very excited to use it.First Impression:I wasn't impressed with the first use of the earbuds. But after I used it for a few hours and compared with others... there was a visible difference in sound.I was expecting more on the noise cancellations and a visible difference between Passive noise cancellation and the actual Noise cancellation. The passive noise cancellation itself is too good, you have to put the ambient mode on to listen to people. The noise cancellation is balanced between Bass and treble and if you are not listening to anything, the uniformity of noise cancellation is not good, i.e, sometimes you can hear everything around like its Off, then you have to go through all three modes to enable it again.Ambient mode like how everyone says, feels unnatural. Calls feel like you are inside a tube and talking always. So far no one in the listening end has complained. So I guess the sound must be good.The music sounds good. The instrument separations are very good compared to the other earbuds which I use. The bass is shallow and I had to increase the clear bass to make it perfect for my ears.The only annoying thing I have until now with XM5 is the ear tips that have come up with it. Its little annoying to position it in your ears as it won't slide easily inside your ears and when you talk to others, you feel like it is going to fall down because it comes loose from the ears even with the tight fit ear tip.A little overview of what was my comparison against:I was using a cheap Huawei Freebuds 4i which is quite nice compared to the flagships of most companies and also a JBL LIVE 600btnc. The Huawei noise cancellation is quite very good when you think its priced like one-third/fourth the price of even Airpods Pro and it sounds amazing(Not as good as the Sony XM5)Is it worth the price:I would say, if you want premium earbuds, I think this is a good choice as it has the industry's best Noise cancellation(according to experts). But, I would recommend buying this only when there is an offer.Sony could have made the Ambient mode the how it feels on Calls a bit better as well as the ear tips...

The sound quality between my AirPods and the Sony WM’s is enormous, the depth of sound on the Sony’s are way beyond the AirPods. Both have connectivity issues, the AirPods being more troublesome when they choose to disconnect. However the AirPods are easier to use and less sensitive and the AirPods are more comfortable over a longer period of use. Final verdict, if audio quality is your priority the Sony option is notably ahead.

I grabbed the unit, plugged it into my ear and felt ... nothing.Humming of machines, slight echoes of objects around. Perhaps a faulty unit? Good sound quality notvgreat, and the case unit was smaller than I expected.I own Sony's WH1000XM5 (over the head version) and they are the best especially for calls. Drawbacks are size, and sweaty ears due to insulation. Make sure to use it in a cooled place so it wouldn't bother later. The older version is just as good and comes packed with more accessories so just that in mind.In or around ear canal options are better for pocketing the device or packing in a small bag, and they are great for not getting attention - as if the bulky looking device in the middle of your ear is fine! I was being sarcastic with the last remark.Bose's QC Earbuds 2 offers a good design that uses the surrounding of your ear plus a plug in your ear, but the older model was more comfortable.
