Very thorough review, thank you!

Very informative. Thanks!

Just got my WF-1000 XM5s, and despite having the WH-1000 XM3s and XM5s, the earbuds felt like a completely different beast to understand. Thanks so much for this video - each point was concise and helped clarify all the questions I had (plus gave me helpful tips I would never have considered, which really helped optimize my listening experience). Sony should pay you for making this video haha.

Thanks very much buddy for saving my time

Thank you Aaron. Really good tutorial. I am considering these but am Apple. I do have the Sony WH-1000XM4 which I love though. So hard to choose between AirPods Pro 2 or these.

I just got those. XM4 sounded better. I could never wear xm4 for longer than let’s say 30 min b/c they would hurt my ears. The new ones are more comfortable but the sound quality went down. They sound very thin. I cross compared them with AirPods Pro and beats studio buds +. For iPhone - AirPods work best in my opinion.

Great video, and a huge help to me. I thought that the app would allow me to completely customise what the taps on each earbud do, rather than just choosing between playback on one side and noise cancelling on the other. Have I missed something?

Excellent explanation of what can be done with my new XM5's. Extremely well done and much appreciated!

Does Noise Cancelling on the XM5 just reduce outside noise or completely nullify ? What's your experience like?

@GeorgeMadden33

I first have to say that I have very little experience in audio and am only speaking as a novice listener. When I listen to music or a podcast with noise cancelling on, I hear no outside noise (even in the gym unless there is a loud yell or something right next to me). If I just have them in my ears playing nothing, then yes, noise seeps in for sure but drastic difference than when noise cancelling is off. @@av365

Hey Aaron, thank you for the hard work! Hopefully I'll be able to trade in my XM4s with the XM5 soon. But btw, did you notice that with the latest update, the XM4s can't independently connect? I used to be able to just either the left or the right earbud independently but now, only the right one! Please help with this if you can, the feature was super useful and it helped me mentally as I could use one after the other knowing I'm not draining only the right earbud's battery.

How have you been enjoying them sense

In notifications and voice prompts can you turn off the touch control tones ? everytime you tap on the earbuds touch controls you hear a noise and I’m sure you could switch it off on the xm4s

Enjoyed your video, Aaron but is possible to change or program the touch sensor functions because under "Ambient sound Control/Quick Access" settings are currently showing "Not Assigned" for Double and Triple Tap and I can't seem to change it. Is it how Sony meant for it to be i.e. unassigned?

Thank you dear, You saved my life 🙏

Very great tutorial. I have few questions if you can answer. 1) Can you use LDAC with multipoint enabled? 2) Can you use only one earbud for music and calls? 3) Is there any gesture to answer a call (even with one earbud)? Thank you!

Very good earbuds I'm a strong believer in sony for great anc earbuds headphones they always work super well with great sound

Is there any way to change the touch sensor settings for playback. For example, if I want to tap twice (instead of 4 times) on the right sensor to increase volume, can I change that and have 3 taps on the right sensor to skip to next song? Thanks!

What would you suggest trying if my XM5 gets cut out like each 1-2 minutes for a fraction of a second? It happens when im walking and my phone is in my pocket (lets say left pocket), so the right ear would cut out. I tried switching phones and it didnt help, i am using already AAC codec. Really annoying thing when listening to music and given that these are really expensive earbuds, previously i owned XM3 and it worked just fine (the mic sucked though), it never cut off like this

Just wondering if you can add a a different app to your tap system instead of just Spotify. I listen to a lot podcasts and would to sync this to the earbuds

Hi, for the voice guide on mine its turned on but I dont hear the voice, just the little bell notifications. Is there a way to hear the voice for the wfxm5s??

Hello, what are the best replacement ear tips for the xm5? As close to the originals, please. Thanks you

Wow. They really need to add custom options for the touch sensor buttons like they do with the xm4000. I want full volume controlls on my left ear that I can scale with only 1 or 2 taps. Pressing both side of my ear 4 times to try and get the volume just right is a ridiculous oversight. Its so bad I though it just needed and update but there is still no way for volume customization like the previous model.

Hi aron..Are these subbass better and powerfull than wf xm4?

This was a fantastic video Aaron! The speak to chat is problematic during calls though, because it not only stops noise cancellation but also pauses any audio, including the other person speaking :( Is that how it is expected to behave?

Are you going to do a software update on these… because there’s one available but I don’t want to update it yet because it might affect the sound of my earbuds waiting for you to do a review on it

Great review, but like every other review, not enough emphasis on audio reproduction sound quality, which is the earbuds primary function for me.

Dis they ever fix the microphone with the firmware update or does it still sound like crap. If yes, can you do a before/after video?

All my reviews are based off the 2.0.1 firmware (lates) though

If it only had good call quality, I would have kept them, I talk to my mom 1 hour a day almost every day, I have no problem with the Buds2 Pro, L3P amd the Tozo OpenReal, with the WF-1000XM5 my mom and my wife said I my voice sounded scrapy, muffled and cutting off in a QUIET enviroment, while driving it got worse, I think I will buy the Linkbuds S again to get that Sony clean sound, not saying Sony sound is the best, but on earbuds sound is pleasant and clean.

Hey there! I was wondering if you have any updates on using spatial audio for the WF-1000XM5 in other devices such as samsung phones. I recently bought a pair and i was really hoping to use the spatial audio, but i cant seem to find any options for such. P.S my phone is a galaxy note 10 lite and a friend's galaxy buds spatial audio worked completely fine.

Can you test some foam eartips replacements for this Sony? Are there some reputable ones? I dont want to buy some random tips from Amazon and cross fingers they will be a good choice for such an expensive earbuds. Maybe you could ask Sony why they dont sell bulk replacement packs at the reasonable price? Maybe you will be treated seriously.

Hi Aaron, may i know how to enable lc3 codec with 1000xm5 via Xperia 1V?

Couldnt figure out why mine were not in ldac... dev options kept defaulting back to AAC... thank you!!

Can you download the app and just link it to the earbuds or do you have to create an account?

Am I right in saying that if you have ambient sound turned on it drains the battery just the same as ANC ? So your better off Havering the option to turn it off right

Have tried all tips (the test in the Sony app thought booth medium and large tips was ok) and turned of the auto stuff. Really dissapointed.

I've been wondering for a long time: Why did Sony abandon the rough but very pleasant surface of its XM4 for a shiny low-end plastic for its XM5!!? And it may be bogus, but the primary function of these headphones is to better cancel out external noise... So maybe a highly reflective surface reflects reflects high-frequency sounds more than a rough one? I presuppose that by absorbing the high frequencies in the body (no reflection), the latter had more work to do in processing them? What do you think?

Die Sprachführung geht bei mir leider nicht. Galaxy s20 ultra. Habe die Sony mehrmals zurück gesetzt. Ich habe nur 2 unterschiedliche töne. Danke für das tolle Video

Every time I want to use only one earbud, the noise cancelling turns off by itself. It is annoying because sometimes I pick the side which isn't set up with the noise cancellation control, so I have to pick the other side and turn it off actively. can somebody help me with this issue??

First time using them today. Found 4 fails with them. I found that it took a bit to figure out I hadn't inserted the earbuds correctly as there are no instructions on how to fit in your ear correctly. I found that when I eat, they dislodge and fall out of my ear. Also, a few times getting them out of the carry case, they slipped straight out of my fingers and onto the floor because the surface of the earbud is so glossy. So make sure you've got grippy fingers first before getting them out. And finally, the ANC is a mild ok. All these KZread people carrying on saying 'how amazing the ANC is', and I can still hear a person eating food in a quite room with ANC on. Other than that, the sound is pretty good. If you're not the kind of person that cares about a lot of different settings other than sound then wait for these to get a bit cheaper before buying.

Oh how I wish iOS offered LDAC as well...

Bought one, good feactures, but Volume control by tapping 4 times is utterly utterly ridiculous!!!!!

The earbuds are awesome I would say the only downside is the glossy piano-like material. It's little harder to get them out of the case. They are more slippery. YOU ALMOST DID IT SONY. 9.9/10. I haven't used them in the gym while sweating. I hope they don't fall.
