Noise Cancellation

Customers have mixed opinions regarding the noise cancellation feature of the Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds. While some find it effective and a significant improvement over previous models, others feel disappointed as they believe it does not block out as much noise as their older earbuds or competitors. Some customers also mentioned issues with the earbuds' fit and comfort, and the cost of additional features like 360 spatial sound.

Quality


General sound quality for music, podcasts and audiobooks is also top notch


For audio quality, the xm3’s still sound the best at any volume!

Price


Charging for 360 sound on $300 buds and expensive phones is disappointing.

Competitiveness


It makes no sense that for $248 i have to deal with a product inferior to its predecessors!


In between purchasing this, i tried to order a pair of google buds but they could not compare.


The xm4’s are a bit lighter and the xm5’s feel almost weightless in comparison.


I liked my xm4's but the xm5's are clearly superior.

    In a previous life i designed studiograde headphones specifically the driver interfaces to achieve a specific frequency response output… i am alot older now and the frequency range of my hearing has certainly declined over the years some of which is likely from loud music hearing damage at the upper end of the spectrum


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I own both the xm4 and xm3 earbuds… and this is likely the cause of my disappointment


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The xm4’s seem to only “loose steam”… at high volumes where the bass frequencies become compressed as volume increases


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The xm3 does not compress the bass frequencies until the absolute limit…the xm5 at starts compressing nowhere near what i call loud almost as if the ports are blocked or closed or something is creating standing waves…i needed these for my daily conference calls that last several hours multiple times a day as the xm3’s for several hour use are simply too much weight only being supported by the ear canal

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So much so that to listen to music i use my xm3’s and find it completely ridiculous that sony has made their top earbud product a poor replacement of a predecessor from 8years ago


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So other than weight i have no other reason to own these


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have had the previous ones and these have more issues staying connected with the phone but i think thats a software issue because when they were brand new i had no issues with connectivity
