Great sound and spatial audio for Android, very effective noisecancelling, good ambient sound modes, good call quality, long battery life, comfortable, futureproofed connectivity, multipoint, full EQ, pocketable case, crossplatform app support
expensive, can't fully customise gesture controls, no extra wings to hold them in for running, beaten on noisecancelling by Bose, no spatial audio for movies with an iPhone
Sony's fifth generation of its once market-leading noise-cancelling Bluetooth earbuds are its smallest, lightest and most comfortable yet. But while they still have some of the most effective noise-cancelling on the market, they are beaten by Bose. The WF...
Abstract: Sony's WF-1000XM5 are the most hotly anticipated earbuds of the year, and because the leaks regarding their smaller size have proved genuine, it's an open goal for Sony, right? They're 25% smaller and 20% lighter than the older class-leaders, but boast th...
Sony was always on a hiding to nothing with the WF-1000XM5 - get it wrong and it's a major story, get it right (yet again) and it's no more than we all expected. But while the company hasn't got it ‘wrong' exactly, the WF-1000XM5 aren't the consummate all...

Sony already made some of the most well-rounded ANC earphones around, but the WF-1000XM5 nudges the firm back into class-leading territory. These are as phenomenally good at silencing the outside world as the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II, and arguably bet...
Improved design, Adaptive Sound Control remains superb, Impressive features and app
Better ANC available elsewhere, Only minor audio improvements, Slightly dearer than the XM4
Turkish billionaire Husnu Ozyegin once said, “getting to the top is not so easy; staying there is more difficult”, and that's something Sony has achieved in recent years in the world of true wireless headphones.But that position at the top isn't as clear-...
Excellent audio quality via EQ,Still among the best ANC performers,Much better fit for smaller ears,Plenty of features through the app,Improved touch controls,Solid battery life
ANC upgrade could've been more substantial,Not as durable as other pairs,Headphones Connect app needs visual overhaul
Sony finds ways to improve some core features to make the WF-1000XM5 top-class in all the right ways for an outstanding experience, but pressure from competitors will make things interesting going forward...
